Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe of the Pet Shop Boys guest on the debut, with Tennant singing lead on The Patience of a Saint, and Karl Bartos of Kraftwerk plays keyboards on Raise the Pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two 7 Worlds Collide records are the most crowded stations of all. Eddie Vedder, Ed O'Brien and Phil Selway of Radiohead, and Neil, Tim and Liam Finn all appear, with Jeff Tweedy, John Stirratt, Glenn Kotche and Pat Sansone of Wilco and KT Tunstall joining for the second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoomslang brings in Zak Starkey on drums and Alonza Bevan of Kula Shaker on bass.
