And here is another ultra rare post punk, jangle pop compilation from Manchester via the Mutant Sounds Blog. They have hundreds of these compilations on their blog and this one was rated as one of the best by the blog author. After several listens I must disagree, I found some of the very lofi songs here quite amateurish and uninspiring and I have preferred the other compilations I recently listened to above this one. There are some interesting tracks here and its not all bad but overall I am disappointed and will rate this set 2/5.
