After punk kicked down the proverbial doors and like-minded bands followed The Pistols, The Ramones and The Clash, those doors were left very wide open. And through them came all sorts of experimentalism, new sounds and an anything-goes ethic that made this an amazing era. This compilation captures it very well. Although some missing bands would be welcome here (Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, Sonic Youth, Lydia Lunch), I can't argue with the inclusion of anyone, including the newer bands who show obvious post-punk influences.
Armed with punk's DIY spirit and a re-written rule book, bands had the freedom to introduce ideas that we had seen little of in rock music before; atonal avant/jazz influences, feminism, dark electronics, dub production techniques...at the time it was all so new and exciting. You went to a hip record shop and came home with a bag full of great music by people you never heard of before. Some was artsy, some raw, some funky, some angry, some just fun, but they all shared a carte blanche license to do what they wanted to do. These bands celebrated amateurism, but please don't confuse amateurism with a lack of talent. Many didn't last, but in retrospect, that only served the spontaneity of the music.
Lots of faves here, The Fall, Liquid Liquid, Wire, 23 Skidoo, The Raincoats, Blurt, The Bush Tetras and many more. Kudos to new NYC bands like The Rapture (included here) and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs (not here) for keeping this spirit alive. This collection is a must for those like me who remember this period fondly, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone who appreciates music that doesn't follow rules.

This is a lovingly put-together, although by no means complete, overview of the incomparable post-punk scene, compiled by the splendid folks at Rough Trade. Colin Newman (of Wire, if it's the same Colin Newman I'm thinking of) wrote the description in the booklet, which made me quite happy seeing as his band was responsible for some of my favorite music, ever (they're on here too, by the way).
I fancied myself to know quite a bit about post-punk before I came across this compilation, but there was still quite a lot of interest for me. The big players are all represented here, but those bands like PiL, Gang of Four, and The Fall comfortably rub shoulders with the lesser-known likes of Family Fodder, Blurt, and the Prats. The No Wave scene manages to creep onto this compilation in the form of DNA and James White and the Blacks. Scritti Politti and XTC might seem a bit out of place if you're only familiar with their later pop careers, but both songs fit in quite well (the difference between the two is that later XTC was better than the XTC featured here, but early Scritti Politti was much, much better than their later chart-toppers). In fact, Skank Bloc Bologna, the longest song on the entire comp, is one of my favorites.
One thing that really put a grin on my face while listening would be the female representation, being one of the fair sex myself, it was good to see that almost half of the songs featured are done by women. And rightfully so!
I do have a minor irritance with the inclusion of newer bands on here. The difference is obvious, they just sound too derivative, and I usually find myself skipping them. Nothing really bad, per se, but they would have done better with including more 70s/80s artists instead.
Ok, so, before I ramble on too far, this is a good overview of both the obvious and the obscure. But like I said before, and the ones who compiled this would agree with me, it isn't complete. There are quite literally hundreds upon hundreds of post-punk and no-wave bands out there that weren't represented (no Joy Division?), so keep listening! This is an excellent introduction to those uninitiated with the unparalleled, wildly experimental world of post-punk, and a good listen for those of us who already are.

Glorious, sublime, exceptional, inspired....that's some of the superlatives That are deservedly heaped upon this fantastic collection by myself. Even if your not 100% completely up to speed on the Post-Punk scene, and don't know your "Gang of four" from your "Public Image Ltd", if you have even a passing interest in this music, you owe it to yourself to give this more than a passing glance. `Gang of Four' start things of with their twitchy spoken/shouted "I found that Essence Rare".....leading through to `The Pop Group's' neo-Dub punk of "We are all Prostitutes"...and not forgetting the bouncy Punk-funk of `Delta 5's - Mind your own Business', and the Dub-reggae of female trio `The Slits - Shoplifting'. The double album weighs in at a hefty 44 tracks...and you'd be forgiven for thinking that the quality of songs will suffer with such a large tracklisting...unfortunately you'd be wrong, as whoever the group of individuals were that complied this album, were obviously treated this project as a labour of love...(and it shows), easily the best (and most enjoyable way) to familiarise yourself with the Post-punk generation.

What alot of reviewers fail to realize about this comp is that it's a Mute/Rough Trade collaboration/compilation which means only bands from those labels are represented.
I actually do not own the disc but have most of the tracks on CD, vinyl or taped from the radio in the early 80's (WNYU). But am gonna get it ASAP since it's a very good representation of that era. Plus it's good to see NYC bands like Liquid Liquid and ESG (who were both on 99 Records in the US) finally on digital format.
Yeah, there might be some stuff missing and the inclusion of the newer bands may seem lame, but it's definitely worth the money!
Check out the Rhino Records 80's/Post-Punk box-set "Left of the Dial" for the rest of the worlds contributions (heavy on USA).

ROUGH TRADE の真髄
Reviewed in Japan on October 11, 2003
The Smithsあたりから「ちょいメジャー」路線も歩み始めたROUGH TRADEだが、70年代後半はそりゃ~も~トンガってました。当時の標準からしても「誰がこんなもん買うんじゃい」と思いつつ、なんとなくいつか価値が上がるだらうなどと投機的な意味も含め(嘘)買いあさっていた高校時代が懐かしい。
'Post Punk'と銘打つ事に対して自嘲的なコンピレーター本人のコメントが載っていたが、これまた'Post Punk'と呼ぶ以外カテゴライズできない曲の数々(当時はオルタナティブとか呼ばれたりもしたが、今になってオルタナティブも無いでしょう)。ルネサンス直後のマニエリズムのように、パンクの方法論のみ引き継いだ、極端にモダーンな実験作が続出した時代であった事は聴けばよく分かるはず。曲の多くが'80年前後で、突然2000年以降の近作が挿入されているのだが通して聴いても全然違和感が無い。
Gang of Four / The Pop Group / Delta 5 / The Slits / Pigbag / Swell Maps / Au Pairs / PIL / DNA / Scritti Politti / The Flying Lizards / Magazine / The Raincoats / 23 Skido / The Fall / Young Marble Giants / XTC / Essential Logicこれらが一つのコンピに入るなんて、それが20年以上経った今再び聴けるなんて…(願わくば、Pere Ubu, Cabaret VoltaireやVirgin Prunesなども入っていたらと思うのだが、別企画に入っていたり、ライセンスの問題などで入らなかったのだろう)。
このコンピを今若い人がどう感じて聴くのか非常に興味津々なのであるが、絶対数が極端に少ないんだろうな~。
20歳前の若い人、これ買って聴いてコメント入れてください(嘘)。

イギリスのインディーレーベル、ラフトレードから出たアーチィストのコンピレーションアルバムです。70年代末から80年代初期の作品が多いと思われます。
ファンクをベースにした跳ねるようなリズムが特徴的なバンドの作品が多く取り上げられておりますが、ギターポップ、ダブ、テクノ風の作品もあり
多彩で飽きないと思います。クリアな録音もありますがローファイなものもあります。好みの問題もありますが捨て曲は少ないと思います。
テクニックよりも初期衝動的に作られており時を経た今聞いても新鮮さを感じます。昔(30年以上前)クリアカットというタイトルでラフトレードのオムニバスLPが
リリースされていましたがそれが好きな方やもう一度おなじような曲を聞きたい方には特におすすめいたします。
(追記)
このアルバムにも収録されているデルタ5のMind Your Own Businessという曲が
i-phoneのCMに使われてますね

なかなかにこれは面白い利益優先の日本じゃ出ない良企画盤!!。
これだけの顔ぶれが一同に集まるのも、そうそうに無い。
しかもこれだけ飛んでるのに、どれも曲に隔たりがなく統一感があるのも不思議。
この顔ぶれを知っている人には思わずニンマリ、知らない人には「おおーこんなんいたのかー」「聴いた事ある」とか知識向上等に ちょいとタメになるかも。
これだけのアーチィストと曲、PUNKの面白味が味わえてしまいます。
・The Flying Lizards・Gang of Four・XTC・The Pop Group・Delta 5・The Slits・PIL・Pigbag・Swell Maps・The Raincoats・Au Pairs・DNA・Scritti Politti・Magazine・・・・・・・・・etc
どのアーチィストにも言える事だが、知ってる人には他のコアな選曲も望んでしまうと思う、それだけ魅力的な曲を持ったアーチィストが多い・・・・・
ここに収録されてる1曲で判断してしまない様に、と言うことも付け足しておきたい。
購入した人(音楽好きPUNK好き)は、ぜひ何かしらの収穫を得て欲しいと思う。
己が良いと思える「音」に出会える事を節に願いたい。
