Title: Essential ALT 80's
Review: Subversive sentences, twangy geetars, pretty darn good alternative tracks from the 1980's. This CD contains 20 songs, most of which stand very well on their own - although the collection does seem to lose its way a bit for tracks 15-17, I'd say.The final track, the post-apocalyptic "Blood Soup" is an essential tune for anybody's collection. Worth buying this compilation for the track alone.A quote from the sleeve notes:"Beneath this wholefood exterior there scuttles a giant rat on a rampage through a forest of purple cheese trees... SOUNDS 1985"Were they that psychedelic ? I think not. But it gives you an idea of the range of the music...
