To celebrate 20 years since the release of The Go! Team’s classic album ‘Thunder, Lightning, Strike’, the band have asked a range of artists they love and admire to remix, rework and refashion tracks from the album, with a new one being released monthly.

Following on from the likes of Teebs, The Pastels, Los Bitchos and more, next up is Ohio-bred crate-digger Ted Feighan, AKA Monster Rally who takes on Ladyflash.

Speaking on the remix, Monster Rally said: “I was psyched to get the chance to contribute! It was a full circle moment for me as ‘Thunder, Lightning, Strike’ and this track in particular were big influences on me years ago when I got into making music. With the remix I wanted to focus on what I think are the most magical elements of the track and create something that feels a bit like being in a trance and then waking up to a huge party.”

To celebrate the anniversary of the album, the band have been on a UK and US tour where they have been playing the album in full. This tour will culminate with one final homecoming show at Brighton’s Corn Exchange on 9 December. One life affirming experience, as those who witnessed their sold-out show at London’s iconic 3000 cap Roundhouse in February will testify.

To mark the occasion, the album has also been reissued in Transparent Yellow and Red Splatter Vinyl (Rough Trade [SOLD OUT] & Monorail Exclusive), Transparent Red Vinyl and CD. The Rough Trade and Monorail Exclusive package includes a 7” LP featuring new versions of b by The Pastels and The Orielles. All the reissues are also packaged with a recreation of the original CD-R demo version of the album that stands up as a document of Ian Parton’s unique method of work. This final reissue is a celebration of a record that sounded out of time in 2004, dripping in future nostalgia, and which twenty years on still sounds as unique and uncategorisable as it did when it arrived.
