As refreshing as a shimmery March morning, To The Sky is the perfect pick-me-up for a stultifying March afternoon. Sculpted from the clouds by one-man electro-shoe-gazer James Chapman, a.k.a. Maps, it's from his debut album, the wonderful We Can Create, which was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize back in the days when the Klaxons were being all shouty, bleepy and generally annoying. They might have carried off the award but this four minutes of sky-scraping dream pop lives longer in the memory. A briefly-lost classic.
