Review by hjhafner Aug 04, 2009

To put it this way - just get out and try to get you one of these! Even against the fact that this (once again) is a booty, the music compiled (by some Irish-moved-to-NYC-back-then-in-the 1970ies-blokes Neil Stocker and Pierce Turner, both of them from Wexford and still active with several bands/labels emphasizing on the irish thing, at least as far as i found out on the web) and displayed here with original artwork and stuff is just as great as impossible to unearth elsewhere. Starting off with rather typical No Wave punk funk (The Funktionaries) we are supposed to embrace some real beautiful stuff ranging from the punky-leftfield-agit-prop guitar area (The Heretix, Tiny Tribe) to ridiculously crazy whatever-dancefloor-this-might-have-rocked stuff (Xex, Seven And Three). Only the Bronx Irish Catholics made it somehow through being sported via Daniele Baledelli's/Marco Dionigi's Cosmic Disco?! Cosmic Rock!!! compi out there on Eskimo.
Originally released through Glass (2) who went in for the Jazz Butcher and the likes back in the days. Funny enough.
