Reviews
Edited 8 years agonot one of the stronger post punk compilations i've bought,
the track is as eccentric as you'd expect if you've read Simon Reynolds book or chatted to him
the book dismisses Killing Joke as a heavy metal band and the sleeve notes make clear that his selection is designed to avoid cheeswire guitars and punk funk, so no Gang of 4, no medium medium etc
maybe i'm not the target audience since i like the above and already own the Young Marble Giants,Slits & Cabaret Voltaire tracks used
Jozek K, Fatal Microbes & Scritti Politi are welcome inclusions
The inclusion of the Banshees is excellent , they're inexplicably absent from the other post-punk compilations i own BUT the choice of track could have been better
theres really no excuse for not including the title track by Orange Juice
instead theres an awful Heaven 17 track that has sounds horribly dated
I'll give it time to grow on me but currently i find the French Compilation "New Wave Post Punk 1977-1981" (Naive, 2011)more compelling
