    Twisted CompilationIf you buy this album, you need never leave the house again. Weekends could be spent bringing your very own club into your own living room without even having to iron your favourite shirt, or pay a fiver for a bottle of pap alcopop...

    This compilation brings indie-pop's floor-filling favourites to you. It's a night out in a plastic case. And you can fool your friends by pretending to DJ with it at parties. It is, of course, indiepop by numbers, but there's a fair few interesting treatments on here, like Mylo's re-working of The Killers 'Somebody Told Me'.

    This is the perfect album if you've just come out of a coma - it's a snapshot of the hottest alternative tracks made for the dancefloor whether in their original format or having been re-assembled by the most daring remix outfits working today. So go on, invite Kasabian, Bloc Party and the Others into your home. Just make sure they wipe their feet!
