Romance of Unknowing, The - Various Artists (Steve Mason Presents)

Two Piers release the second in their ‘Presents’ compilation series with Steve Mason (Beta Band, King Biscuit Time) stepping up to the curation table to deliver a stunning compilation of tracks.

The Romance of Unknowing takes in influences from Northern Soul, Punk, Folk, Hip-Hop, and Post-Punk, spanning tracks from 1965 to 2005.

“There was a club in Dunfermline (Fife) called The Kronk and the DJ there, called Lel Palfrey would play incredible sets going from House into Hip Hop into Reggae and back into House. Occasionally ending with Booker T’s Green Onions. As someone with wildly eclectic music taste who had been a Mod, Lel helped sure up my opinion that there should be no boundaries in music. It’s just a line of Human expression that stretches back into our past and will continue. Forever. Open your arms and come with me.” - Steve Mason 2025
