Comment:
This is not a cassette compilation, but rather a two CD set (Side A = Disc 1 / Side B = Disc 2). I didn't want to take up two posts by separating these companion 'retrospectives.' Both discs represent my favourite dark Post Punk tracks, songs that capture the urgency and various anxieties of this fabulous era of music. There are some important bands missing, some of which I'd consider closer in spirt with Goth (Cure, Banshees, Bauhaus, etc). Some, such as The Fall and Television, I am still discovering. The Slits and Raincoats just didn't fit (time wise or atmospherically) and Adam & The Ants just aren't dark enough :)
I wanted to include some of the earliest Industrial stuff, as you can clearly hear certain atmospheric elements that overlap between the genres. Plus, it was all contemporaneous.
In the case of A Certain Ratio and New Model Army, I opted for the Peel Session versions of the songs because they were punchier (as well as shorter).
I usually don't like repeating bands on comps like this, because other bands will get cut : but in this case, the songs were in my head and they just flowed. Wished I could have fit a more atmospheric Chameleons track ("Second Skin") and found a place for "I Should've Known Better" by Wire.
The title comes from the Section 25 track on Disc 1.
Thanks for looking...
Feedback:
looks fantastic. i have a soft spot for mission of burma and DAF, especially.
AWESOME! What I don't know, I will track down to have!
Extremely solid work, here.
Reminds me of my ear widening days listening to college radio in the early '80's. Whole lotta love for your including Pop Group, Artery and less known Factory bands.
Thank you, lo-fi. The lesser known Factory bands are what made these mixes so much fun to compile. They are always reduced to footnotes to Joy Division which is just unfair.
wow, great mix.
This is fuckin' tremendous. Do we know one another? It seems like if we both live in Pittsburgh and are both into this kind of thing then we certainly should have crossed paths (it's a small little city)...
Matthew, I was just going through and looking at some of your earlier mixes and I was wondering if I could somehow get a copy of this from you.
