VARIOUS ARTISTS : Absolute


"Thirteen tracks culled from two long-deleted LP’s: ‘You Bet We’ve Got Something Against You’ and ‘Fight’. Compiled by Robert King for Glasgow label Cathexis Recordings in 1986 and 1987, these songs stand out as some of the best examples of one of Great Britain’s more indescribable musical movements of the mid-eighties. Not exactly pop, not exactly electronic, yet somehow still very sure of what they were doing, the bands on ‘Absolute’ were above all else British, living in the center of the independent rock thing, pushing out the edges of what we defined as ‘music’. Using found noise and the raw sounds of a decaying Idustrial British landscape, these groups created a sensation in the underground, inspiring musicians around the globe to experiment and find new ways to express themselves."(taken from soleilmoon.com)
