V/A - Radioactive Decay

First up is the amazing synth punk group Strip Mall Seizures mixing their great electronic punk with Russian polka rhythms. Talking about great music, Dancing Did also found their way to the compilation. The Rhythm Section stick together is still one of the best, and unfortunately most overlooked, post-punk tunes out there! On track three hell breaks loose when New Collapse bring their A-team on Am I not. Anarchistic synth punk when it?s best. Theatre of Ice takes the tempo down a notch with the brilliant new version of Miron. The students from the Experimental Dental School deliver a bit plain song compared to the rest of their remarkable catalogue; still they managed to break my teeth?s very well. Next up is a good old friend of my stereo. The tribal drums cannot be mistaken; it?s time for good old western gothics Ausgang. Strip is a good song but not that remarkable. Again another pick of song would have been pleasing. After the Strip show it?s time for Din Glorious. To incoherent you might say. I would call it refreshingly abrasive! Panic Face also brings some beeps and bleeps now and then which make me shake my low pixel ass. In a violent way that is. Now it?s time for some minimal synth brilliantly delivered by Jean-Paul Yamamoto followed by a personal favorite of mine: Naked on the Vague?s All Aboard. Their sepulchral synth and gloom and doom lyrics give the compilation a great dark touch. It?s time for one of the good old bands again. Rubella Ballet makes you dream of 1977?s Soho with their delicious anarcho punk while SIDS takes you back to present time reminding you that great music is still being made.

Half way through it has become time for Sixteens. They contribute to the great collection of new music that this compilation offers. Call it new electronics, post-punk or gold wave, I don?t care. I call it amazing! French wave legends Charles de Goal won?t be left out of the CD and their classic Exposition have always sounded very fresh. Perhaps a too obvious pick but it?s still a first-class song. There has also been made room for Dandi Wind and the band brings one of the best tracks on the compilation. After the captivating Scott Wood it becomes noise time again. This time the clattering comes from Night Wounds and Marfa & Ne-Af. Both do their job well but have done better. I easily think of greater songs by especially Marfa & Ne-Af. Medio Mutante thinks it?s long since they last heard minimal on the CD and I agree. Corre is a fresh breath of air before continuing to one of the few new European bands who found their way to the compilation but they represent the continent very well with their music that?ll make you pogo till you puke. Din Glorious offspring Jellowaste brings back more of the great music that synth punk is while Yip-Yip delivers game wave straight from the mental hospital. Deaf Deaf screams their way into my heart before I can?t read closes the candy store with a neat instrumental song containing plenty of oddness.
