"Considering the influence of US electronic music, not forgetting pioneers such as Terry Riley and Philip Glass, little has been heard of what this compilation's subtitle describes as "excursions in proto synth-pop, DIY techno, noise and ambient exploration".This comprehensive four-disc collection features 60 tracks and a 10,000-word overview of the musicians and their place in the once niche scene. With inspiration developed from punk's DIY ethos (but not the instrumentation), the tranche of musicians broke through long-established barriers to experiment with form".

"The latest compilation in Cherry Red's pioneering electronic gulp-and-glitch series hovers over the US and Canada".
