A Young Person's Guide to Mark McGuire collects together some of this esteemed Emeralds member's best works, previously released as small runs on a number of limited edition CD-r and tape releases over the last 4 years. Although only 24 years of age, Mark McGuire has racked up an impressive canon [and following! Emeralds have a solid track record here] which most artists twice his age would have problems delivering. With his expert use of loops and layers, techniques on transforming acoustic guitar sounds, as well a superb ear for killer melody hooks, it makes it simply an essential collection, and not just for the Emeralds' faithful.
