Another slightly confused post-punk/dance compilation from Soul Jazz: if youre supposed to be highlighting NYs early eighties avant-garde club culture, why havent you included August Darnells excellent remix of "Contort Yourself" rather than the (admittedly also great) rockier Contortions version? And it may be an obvious tune to drop, but Dinosaur Ls "Go Bang" is infinitely preferable to the cheesy "Clean On Your Bean" included here (and if you had to include a lesser known Arthur Russell tune on the album, why not "Wax The Van"?). Disappointing.
