It's always a daunting task starting a new concept and I had plenty of dilemas choosing the first album for our discussion. So I played it safe and chose a compilation 
For those of you don't have the album here is the track listing:
1. e'Void - Taximan
2. Via Afrika - Hey Boy
3. Bright Blue - Window On The World
4. Tribe After Tribe - Damsel
5. Ellamental - Clowns
6. Celtic Rumours - Slow Rain
7. Dog Detachment - Miracle (Waiting For A..)
8. Petit Cheval - Magical Touch
9. No Friends Of Harry - Competition Rules
10. Asylum Kids - Schoolboy
11. The Helicopters - Mysteries & Jealousies
12. The Spectres - Teddy Bear
13. Falling Mirror - Johnny Calls The Chemist
14. The Dynamics - Thugs
15. Peach - Complicated Games
16. Flash Harry - Shame On You
17. The Sweatband - This Boy <----- (This has now been corrected)
18. Psycho Reptiles - Monster From The Bog
To me this is one of the greatest compilations ever, not only because I grew up with songs and artists but because they also reflect South Africa in the 1980's, the despair of the system, the hopes of a better future. And they sound good too
If I have to have one criticism of the album it's the fact that there are two artists missing; Juluka and Mango Groove. Perhaps Benjy (Mudie) had to omit them from this album because of copyrights or perhaps they weren't 'Rocking against the System' enough.
What are your thoughts ? What do you think of this album ? Do you have a favourite song / artist on it ?
