Due to feverish demand, Firecracker have decided to repress their legendary "Lost" second EP. Overflowing with more ideas, energy and soul in one record than most labels manage over their entire lifespan, the EP takes in jazz, house, disco and p-funk, mixes it up with some inimitable Scottish cheek and turns out music that's fresh yet timeless. This proved to be a huge crossover in 2005, getting props from some of the finest DJs including Stacey Pullen, Gilles Peterson, Domu, Danny Krivit, Derrick May, Ron Trent etc. 2008 sees the repress and a new opportunity to complete the Firecracker trilogy!

Linkwood gives us "What's Up with the Underground?" hot, urgent, joyous jazz/house music that�s guaranteed to ignite any dancefloor � be warned, spontaneous human combustion is a real risk when this record hits. Fudge
Fingas drops the heavyweight 'Escape'. With samples from cult TV series 'The Prisoner', huge synth lines and beats like vintage Glenn Underground this is definitely odd house music - turn it up! The Complainers �Bacon Rolls� is bizarre funk from somewhere else entirely. Plus there's extra sickness from "What's Up With The Beats?"
(rather than a mere dub, this is almost an entirely different jump-up disco track) and a bonus Firecracker skit. As with EPs 1 & 2, the packaging for this Limited press rerun is as mighty as the sounds on the vinyl itself, using only lithographic printing processes. Tip!
