Anyway, in light of that fact I&#8217;m not terribly enthusiastic about this chart. Not that I dislike the songs or anything (actually, some of them are great &#8212; and overall this chart has some real excellent stuff), but I think due to this summer malaise I just can&#8217;t get as into it. Eight songs is pretty short, two of the songs featured are remakes of previous versions (&#8220;Afterlife&#8221; remixed by Flume and &#8220;Insecptor Norse&#8221; pumped up with Little Boots&#8217; vocals). And to make matters worse, there were a few songs that weren&#8217;t on SoundCloud or YouTube so you can&#8217;t even check out everything in one place.
