Wow! You even managed to find a dark sounding Big Star song! This collection slowly morphs from menacing to gleefully retro. It's quite good. The Raven was a great album for The Stranglers, marking their transition into a mellower tone. In my, probably incorrect or at least unpopular, opinion, their next truly great album was Suite XVI, some 27 years later.
ReplyDeleteBut anyway, kudos on finding a less-dated Lords of the New Church song. It's amazing how poorly songs like Russian Roulette aged. Great collection, ordered perfectly too!
Los Olvidados, what a fucking great skate punk band!
ReplyDeleteOne of your Best Comps!!
ReplyDeleteCan't stop listening to this one!
Thanks!!
This comp sucked me into the vortex of Pentagram and Hawkwind. Well done!
ReplyDeletePretty cool menace, I'll be hitting you up Tue for the sale of CD my man.
ReplyDeleteThanks man. Glad you dig it.
