After 20 years of independent music, the ‘Shapes’ albums continue to encompass the best of our wide-ranging and international roster; featuring the finest classic Tru Thoughts cuts, recent releases, and inspired remixes. “Shapes: Diamonds showcases the new additions to the label alongside more established artists. I always enjoy putting these compilations together, as it gives me a chance to step back and survey the current catalogue and musical direction of the label. As with all our ‘Shapes’ compilations, there is a vast mixture of genres from artists who are passionate about the creative music they make, so the quality is great.” – Robert Luis –The release of ‘Shapes: Diamonds’ comes 20 years after Tru Thoughts’ very first compilation, ‘When Shapes Join Together’, released on 26th October 1999.
