It's no secret that the late 80s were not exactly the heyday for hardcore, whether in Europe or the US (Japan is a different story entirely), but this French (I believe) compilation tape is packed with unknown gems that had me paying attention from the first CORPORATE GRAVE track all the way through to the final CEMTARIUM song and the line "in the basement // playing with my gun." Granted, STINKY FINGERS are every bit as awful as their name might suggest (a bit worse, actually), but the good far outweighs the bad, and metallic punk shits from FANATICAL VIEWS, SOURIRE KABYLE and JESUS WENT TO JERUSALEM are good, while the 3 songs from FILLED WITH ANGER take my fucking breath away, it's worth the whole tape for these songs alone. Friday is for comps and mix tapes...and for going to see CONDENADA in Oakland tonight and also for going to see BOG PEOPLE and VIVID SEKT afterwards. I'm going to be busy, good thing I've got a killer mix to power me through the evening!
