Pete Fowler is one of my favorite illustrators, he’s probably best know for his work with the band Super Furry Animals and the Monsterism website and designer toys.

Taking the Monsterism concept to another level and literally another medium, “The Sounds of Monsterism Island Vol 1″ is a mix-tape compilation full of yummy exotica, electronica and 60s soft-rock.

TSMI blurbs:

This compilation album serves as a companion to Pete Fowler’s World of Monsterism, and features a range of music from psychedelic sixties rock to modern indie pop.

The “Sounds Of Monsterism Island” is a compilation album that works as a soundtrack to the world of Monsterism, created by the Welsh born, London based artist Pete Fowler. The album features psychedelic music from the ’60s and beyond into the 21st Century, much of it unearthed and put on CD for the first time. Fowler dreamt up the World Of Monsterism sometime between his birth in Cardiff in 1969 and the time the first set of Monsterism toys were released in the autumn of 2001.

Tracks that stand out: Martin Denny’s “Sake Rock” and The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band’s “A Child’s Guide To Good And Evil”.
