THE RAPTURE K7 Tapes (2008 UK 22-track vinyl LP - Keen connoisseurs of house music, hip-hop and electronica, The Rapture have recorded with The DFA Soundsystem, Dangermouse & Timbaland. At the dawn of the new millennium, this impeccably cool four-piece from New York City helped pioneer the dance-punk scenes and No Wave rennaissance that soon conquered the global club scene. 'Tapes' is a treasure trove of rare grooves and cult classics spanning three decades, from the late 1970s to 2008. It is a testament to The Rapture's all-embracing musical tastes that 'Tapes' features superstars like Ghostface Killah, Armand van Helden, Richie Havens, as well as underground cult heroes [Martin Circus, Vaughan Mason] and the cutting-edge electronica from the rising stars of today and tomorrow [Syclops, DJ Mujava]. The Rapture have raided their record collections and produced a rich, deep, wide-ranging feast of simply fantastic music - smart, funny and funky. 'Tapes' deserves a rapturous reception.).
