Obey The New Wave

During my daily traipse around the internet, I stumbled across the little beauty. I was originally looking for 7" Up, which is an album of a similar spirt. Both have the track Gerry and the Holograms by Gerry and the Holograms so this came up when I was searching through the blogs. It has some absolute belters on here and is a fine fine compilation that really represents the arty post punk DIY scene of in and around 1980. Expect Gl*xo babies (Above), Electric Chairs, The Flying Lizards, Furious Pig and so much more.

Notable stand out tracks include the wonderfully diverse Blurt with Get, a track that takes their legendary horn section and pushes it straight through all sorts of distortion to wonderful effect. Secondly, the feisty Androids of Mu with Bored Housewives encompassing all the elements of the classic punk instrumentation with a quintessential london art scene twist, just brilliant. And ofcourse who could forget about Gerry and the Holograms by Gerry and the Holograms, a song that I still really don't know what to think of! It is so wonderfully strange and is completely in a field of its own in terms of reference. All I can say is, Kids - Don't take drugs. Any way, heres the blogs I found it on..
