Comment:

A revision of volume one, which I did last year after reading MOJO's long and excellent feature on post-punk - needless to say that's a very well-thumbed copy. :) The artists used are (mostly) the same as before (nothing very obscure, and a combination of old and new stuff) but, for the most part, I've used different tracks, and changed the running order. After I revised volume three, I also removed the Young Marble Giants track from that and used it at the beginning of this one instead - it just seemed to fit a lot better. Title taken from a Factory Records / Hacienda poster.

A very fine concoction indeed, Siobhan. I'm sure that I'd have this one cranked loud enough to disturb all the critters within a three-mile radius.

Lovely. I may want this one. *thinks that now is the time to finally thumb through Siobhan's old mixes for the trading list*

Outstanding lineup here Siobhan. I never tire of that Teardrop Explodes choice...(lyrically baffling that one.)

Excellent mix, as usual, Siobhan. Probably my favorite Echo track ever along with a whole bunch of other gems. Still enjoying your mixes from our trade last year. Hope you're doing well.

valis is right re Copey's lyrics but who'd waste time trying to fathom Jules's mind. Stacks of personal fave artists here. (Again missed this dunno where I was?)
