I know! Convincing People, Hot on the Heels of Love, Six Six Sixties...

if i remember correctly the first track is total Isolationist Dark Ambient Drone, second track is proto minimal/Underground Resistance... and else where electro-house-disco, grunge, triphop/illbient...

and its not just a record which sounds good on paper... production can of course be better according to today's standards but the music sounds FUCKING great and not dated at all...

For TG, I've been listening to various bits and pieces from Second Annual Report, D.o.A and 20 Jazz-Funk Greats. In terms of SAW, would have to say that things like Slug Bait do very little for me.

ah well, never mind about TG24 then

For the Cabs, I just have the Original Sound Of Sheffield 78/82 compilation so far, so yeah, I don't that takes me up much further than Red Mecca. Love the slow, sinister things like The Set Up.

try Mix Up

Well to Zhao and nomad, fair play - I've only heard a few tracks from 20JFG so far, but I do notice a difference from their other early stuff. Will persevere further with it as your praise is fairly glowing. I think my problem with it might have been partially down to the perception of it being a 'joke' record to an extent - but I'm starting to reckon that's more to do with the title, the cover etc rather than the music.

well it is a joke to be sure -- that cover is fucking amazing: all in turtle-necks with a fucking landrover in the background so classic. but the music inside is not to be taken lightly...
