Bristol Archives 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Long before its gentrification, and climbing into the unhappy ranks of the world's most expensive non-capital cities, Bristol was a hotbed of alternative culture, DIY ethics and bold, daring artistry. Don't get us wrong - we still adore the South West England enclave, and it still has plenty of weirder and wonderful things to get your teeth into. But, as this epic compilation proves, the breadth of what was happening in town when town was still a predominantly working class town is enviable today. Punk in the true sense of the word, the tracks and bands here really do their best to defy categorisation while sounding effortlessly natural. From icons like Animal Magic, and their funk and jazz-infused swagger, to the glam-tinged riffs of The Numbers and The Escape's theatrical, post- imbued sound, this is impossible to resist. Especially at that price.
