V.A Weiner Blutrausch

One day as you are flicking through a box of dusty old records - Val Doonican, Glen Campbell & 'Scottish bagpipe bands covering popular hits of the 60s' - thinking about what to have for your tea, when your eyeballs cast a glance across this shockingly striking album cover.  After the initial shocked pause subsides; the tiny little electrons have hopped in frenzied hurry into their Noddy cars and driven at full speed up the optic nerve, violently swerving in and out of the traffic shaking there fists and shouting 'GET OUT OF MY WAY MORONS, I HAVE POTENTIALLY IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE BRAIN!' 

However upon receiving this information, the brain is not sure what to make of it:

 'What on earth is this?' 


'Is it some kind of dark twisted Wurlitzer led circus music for lunatics?' 


'or, is it some kind of early 80s hardcore in a similar vein to the likes of Gang Green?' 

Well my friends, the answer is none of the above!  

This is actually some kind of rare subterranean mutant beast that dwells beneath a desolate battleground, somewhere between off kilter Zappa-esque prog and perverted post punk & new wave.  Flip the cover over and you will see, this is in fact a compilation; five underground  Austrian bands doing two or three songs each, almost like a showcase or record label sampler (as it were).  Each band (remarkably tight) seems to flit back and forth between avant guard progressive rock, jazz, punk, synth led new wave funk and virtuoso hardcore flip flop.

'What on earth?' 

After the initial shock subsides, the brain  has resumed normal function, and the electrons and their noddy cars have drifted back peacefully into going about their daily business.  

You surmise: 'by Jove I think I get it!'  'it makes sense!'  'in fact - I'm keen as mustard!'
