Beautifully packaged comp from the ever reliable Topplers imprint. This is what label compilations should be about, introducing listeners to new acts whilst showing off what good taste the label owners have. Running from the mentally deranged ‘Jack in the Green’ by Jowe Head, via the raunch-tronica of Gang, lo-fi Joy Division flavours of The Decider, the Joan Jett-isms of The Platforms, to the handclaps and twang guitar tribute to Nikki Sudden and Epic Soundtracks of ‘Two Brothers’. It’s all good and had extensive sleeve notes on all the acts. Go and get it, you’ll thank me.
