To mark the release of DOE 005 and the festival of Lughnasa, The DOE presented an hour of musical influences from the Michael Lightborne archive.

"Don't know if it comes across in the album really, but for me there is a distinct western/ desert/roadhouse sleaze vibe hiding underneath. That's where Bohren & Screamin' Jay come in. Also, the original version of I Put A Spell on You is a crucial originary font that I return to constantly. I can get it out of my head. It's a feverish murderous love song for something outside yourself, self-destructive and terrifying and beautiful." – ML

"This was a lot of fun to put together " – DC
