Messthetics Greatest Hits

The Sounds of D-I-Y 1977-80
This is an interesting compilation of British bands in the musical explosion that were the years 1977-80. Each track is its own genre with all manner of unusual sounds and weird ideas. My favourite tracks has to be 'Shark Fucks' by the Tronics - it's easily the most immediately appealing track among this list of idiosyncratic bands and titles. This is music without glamour - the complete opposite of today's diet of recycled ideas tarted up with gyrating naked ladies to exploit the hormonally challenged youths.
