Would You like to Swing on a Mood, Carry Home a Jar Full of Food?

I was hoping to find an interesting track from each Various Artists release, but some of the comps. just didn't move me for one reason or another, or I already had shared what I found interesting, so I ended up with a less than complete set. A few Frenz of NSS offered up sugesstions or made request, so that help flush things out a bit. Anyhow, I figured I'd start with one that I pulled from the first Various Artists shares from June.

That honor fell on Moodswings from the Fell from the Sun compilation from the Saint Etienne boys. I liked their "Spritual High (The Moodfood megamix)" so I looked for some Moodfood. 

 



Moodswings is the duo composed of Grant Showbiz & JFT Hood. Their biggest hit was the remade single of "Spiritual High (State of Independence) Pt. II," which featured vocals by Chrissie Hynde that they had originally written with Jon & Vangelis.
