From the Label
This original soundtrack truly features music from the new BBC2 TV series starring Johnny Vegas, created by Steve Coogans Baby Cow Productions company and has been complied by the
Ideal series writer, Graham Duff. These tracks feature prominently in the television series and are integral to the shows impact and appeal.
Ideal mixes pathos with a very dark humour, depicting a world of sex and drugs and the dole.
The track list is a cutting edge assortment of music styles from different decades with a post-hacienda flavour ranging from; A Guy Called Geralds "Voodoo Ray" to Mercury Music Prize award nominees The Go Teams "Get It Together". The album also includes well-known classic tracks and lesser-known releases from underground labels such as Warp, Melodic, Grand Central, Mute and Bad Magic.
