The chances are, that if you're vaguely interested in music, then someone will have come up to you over the last few months and said "have you heard that album by The Go! Team?". Word of mouth success has garnered Thunder Lightning Strike a Mercury Music Prize nomination and a growing number of admirers.

Bottle Rocket is one of those songs that's impossible not to smile when you hear it. Beginning with a burst of a sampled brass section, it then skates along at a breakneck pace as MC Ninja races through an exuberant rap. There's harmonica, more brass, and by the end of the song you'll be joining in with the ridiculously infectious "2-4-6-8" refrain.

One of those records that make you feel glad to be alive no less, which makes it your duty to sidle up to someone in the next few days and say "have you heard that album by The Go! Team...."
