No One's Listening Anyway, Vol. 1
'UK DIY POST PUNK & DUB 1980-1984' - An album of early 1980s post-punk era musical bedroom and small studio innovations and DIY inspirations. Featuring rarely/never heard cuts from that period. Including tracks sampled by DJ Shadow & a singular post-punk era diss-track :-) From Coventry's 2-Tone associated Skeet to Surface Mutants' Cabaret Voltaire facilitated dub. Compiled by Jason Boardman (Before I Die Records), celebrated Manchester club-night/record label owner, DJ and digger supreme. "This is a snapshot of a fertile time in UK music, a time of independent artists, studios, labels and distributors collaborating to do it themselves, sidestepping the majors to take their shot at the big time. It didn't always work out but they made a record and that's what counts. It is a collection of the lost and overlooked - not intended to be a definitive guide to the period but an opportunity to shine a light on the creative output of these artists and share them once again so they can get the recognition they deserve."
