To be honest, I wouldn't hands down recommend this album to anyone. It's rough around the edges. There's no stand-out tracks, in fact there are a handful of songs that I would rather not hear again. I only include this in my list because I need a 100-CD list of compilations to analyse for an adv. music class. My mistake for being very misleading there. I wouldn't suggest buying it, unless you happen to really like the majority of the bands listed.

This is the set of songs (just in case you didn't know):

1. Science Fiction/Double Feature - Me First And The Gimmie Gimmies

2. Dammit, Janet - Love Equals Death

3. Over At The Frankenstein Place - Alkaline Trio

4. The Time Warp - Groovie Ghoulies

5. Sweet Transvestite - Apocalypse Hoboken

6. Sword Of Damocles - The Independents

7. I Can Make You A Man - Pansy Division

8. Hot Patootie - Bless My Soul - The Phenomenauts

9. I Can Make You A Man (Reprise) - The Secretions

10. Touch-A, Touch-A, Touch Me - The Chubbies

11. Once In A While - Big D And The Kids Table

12. Eddie's Teddy - Swingin Utters

13. Planet, Schmanet, Janet - Tsunami Bomb

14. Rose Tint My World/Floor Show - Luckie Strike

15. Fanfair/Don't Dream It - Stunt Monkey

16. Wild And Untamed Thing - Gametime

17. I'm Going Home - The Migraines

18. Ruths Hat - Super Heroes

19. Science Fiction Double Feature (Reprise) - The Ataris

Soul Jazz, Blood and Fire, Trojan, Leaf Records, Rough Trade and Rough Guide do some of the best compilations around. There are too many to mention / remember but a good compilation will sound fresh, be well edited and introduce something new...

My fav compilations of recent years would be "In the beginning there was.. " on Soul Jazz and ATP 1.0 on All Tommorrows Parties

Dave

PS The Wire magazine do some great compilations - some label related, some festival based and some just with new music

I had a brilliant one for skating <not boarding>. Music is great to have when doing "sports" like that. The amount of times I have hurled myself down 20ft set of stairs only to land on my old walkman...dead leg city!
