Electronic producer Andrew Weatherall (of Sabres Of Paradise and Two Lone Swordsmen fame) has since long pioneered a kind of deviant dancefloor edge through many of his productions. His excellent "Nine O'Clock Drop" collection (2000) for the now sadly defunct Nuphonic label (consisting mainly of early/late 80'S new wave gems such as Gina X's "Nice Mover" or 23 Skidoo's much sampled "Coup") or the awesome rockish "From The Double Gone Chapel" (2004) made with his pal Keith Tenniswood under the Two Lone Swordsmen moniker were just premisces of what was about to come.
On this also brilliant compilation, Mr Weatherall sums what's always been at the core of his mind; intelligent entertainment, whether it's spread through house music (such as his early 90's Boys Own remixes or Primal Scream circa "Screamadelica" productions), haunted electro boogie (the aforementioned Sabres Of Paradise stuff) or, like here, pure and -almost- basic rock'n'roll. For a little more than an hour's worth of sound, you're in for a real treat of jump and shout history: from Gene Vincent's explosive "Crazy Beat" to T.Rex's rampant "Free Angel", through more recent gems such as The Fall's acrimonous "New Big Prinz" or one of the smashest hits of The Cramps (alongside "Human Fly"), the sledge-hammering bomb that is "New Kind Of Kick". To finish it all, he lets us with an eye opened on the future with his own drumbeat-led "Feathers", almost a rehearsal beat for him, in insight of previous works.
It seems obvious to me that if this compilation and the also brilliant "Lost And Found" recently put together by Keb Darge & Cut Chemist for the BBE label, are seen as companions to truly great rock records such as Black Strobe's, Little Barrie's or Cold War Kids' recent full lengths, and not just fake testimonies of the past, the rock'n'roll revival is truly alive and is gonna set a true dancefloor revolution in the next few months (if it hasn't already).
Count me in.

Would recommend this as a companion to "Lost And Found" put together by Keb Darge & Cut Chemist if you want to get into retro rockabilly grooves via a more accessible route. Still some stuff for the purist here though. Keep on Rockin'!

This chronological chest of underground rock and roll gems brilliantly grooves it's own niche that, although hard to pinpoint, never strays. It's a sort of outsider, sleazy affair (see cramps) and every song is begging to be put on a mix tape in order to impress a frend!! As the music moves in a chronological narrative it becomes curious to see the path that Andrew Weatherall has chosen. He travels through Gene Vincent, Link Wray, T-Rex... So far, so standard. The choice to take that to Primal Scream and end up at Killing Joke should give you some idea of the dark overtones that he manages to glue everything together by choosing non standards of classic Rockabilly artists.
This is such a fun record to listen to... It's quite literally one of my favourite Rock and Roll compilations. The 3rd cd in the same series is also a fantastic purchase although seriously shoegazey and haney soaked. The 2nd one is rubbish! x
