The Best Of Quantic [2 CD]

Ten years ago a 20-year-old Will Holland gave to Tru Thoughts the demo that would become his debut The 5th Exotic. Picked up on by the biggest underground names at the time - Gilles Peterson, Richard Dorfmeister et al - it was clear this heralded a very special new arrival.
