CD / African
Roots / Act 2 / Wackies Music
African Roots Act 2 is part of a series (Act 3 is the latest) of dub
versions Bullwackie made in 1982 from some of the records he recorded.
The 10 tracks have smooth production and lots of the echo and reverb we

CD5 / Cabaret
Voltaire / NagNagNag mixes / NovaMute

reissued, along with 3 modern remixes by Richard H Kirk (himself a member
of Cabaret Voltaire), Tiga & Zyntherius and Akufen.

Peste / Volume 3
These three CDs are special for fans of La Peste, and serve as a forecast
for future releases of strong 1978 material that may appear in days to
come. I dedicate these reviews to the memory of Roger Tripp, and to all
of the fans who have loved this band for so long.

CD / various
/ Twisted Nerve Zoo / Twisted Nerve Records
Twisted Nerve have created their own animal kingdom with this compilation.
It's hard to tell if the tracks here are exclusive or previously released.
I think it's a bit of both, but I could be wrong. The sounds make for
some interesting imagery.
