 20 years of The Go! Team’s ‘Thunder, Lightning, Strike’, 20 years of lasers through tracing paper, orange tone oscillations, cable access hangover, music made through sunburnt circuits, a K-tel dream sequence, a haunted vision mixer, station wagon-core, straight to video, VHS in distress, something in the fog, fluff on the needle, chromakey constellations, a hovercraft on the fret board, maxing the minute maid, faxing a car alarm, a Morse code pep talk, etch-a-sketch jackknife, a daily Haley’s Comet, light sound colour motion, a holiday from yourself…
 Double disc CD with a recreation of the original CD-R version of the album which stands up as a document of band leader Ian Parton’s unique method of working.
 ‘Thunder, Lightning, Strike’ is available to independent retailers on translucent red vinyl packaged with the recreation of the original CD-R version of the album.
 This reissue is a celebration of a record that sounded out of time in 2004, dripping in future nostalgia, and which, twenty years on, still sounds as unique and uncategorisable as it did when it arrived.
