Floored Genius 4

Containing 17 tracks culled from over a quarter century of rare TV appearances, foreign radio sessions, festival songs and lost studio rarities, FLOORED GENIUS 4 is the latest installment in this hugely successful series of Julian Cope compilations. Even better, while this 70-minute-long collection brims over with melody, keen lyrical insights and raucous rock’n’roll, almost all of the material is previously unknown, and only two of the songs have ever before enjoyed a proper release. On FLOORED GENIUS 4, therefore, Cope fans receive almost an hour’s worth of previously unknown material, experiments and re-workings. All-in-all, this is another fascinating insight into the mind of the Archdrude.
