We Love You... So Love Us is a mix and match compilation of indie and indie-dance acts, from Euro-indie via Stereolab (Miss Mend), acid-tinged Kraftwerk-inspired electro (Sagittarius 2) to easy listening (The Bees) and everything in between. The bulk of the compilation is taken up by indie-pop, and great hum-along pop it is too: songs like Kicker's twee "Turning Left" and Clinic's "The Second Line". I Am Kloot's acoustically driven "To You" would make a great indie anthem, as would Mogul's shouty ode to the temptations of supermarkets. But there are also a few surprises. "The Claw" by Ten Benson is frightening--not least because of those scary Johnny Cash style vocals. And unexpectedly from a label best known for its experiments with electronic music, only two tracks really fall into that category. Lightspeed's bizarrely named offering, "Perverse Dog On Wheels" owes a debt to trip-hop, while OP:L Bastard's "Saggitarius 2" could be compared to 1980s-obsessed dance acts only if you ignored the trancey beats and intricate melodies which mingle in the background. --Caroline Butler
