The Flowers Of Romance - "The Story So Far... And Further!"

(M&E 088, 1992, M&E 25th Anniversary Special Edition)

Adding a further half an hour to the original release, much of which includes remastered versions, including extra tracks from the Flowers, Nexus and New Zero God, thus bringing the story up to date.

10. AUSTRIA

Karg - "Kira" (M&E 116, 1992)

The first album we released from the excellent Trost catalogue, sparking my great love of the Austrian underground scene of the time. A superb slice of inventive offbeat subterranean rock and beyond.

11. FINLAND

Pornorphans - "Seasoned With Love" (M&E 448, 1998)

A delightfully sleazy metallic psycherock version of Garbage, fronted by the imposing presence of underground bad girl, Jytt. Phew...

13. THAILAND

Rotton Kidz - "Green Asia" (M&E 235, 1993)

The international co-operative's greatest Bangkok adventure, a fine mixture of ethnic Thai music with the western improvisations of the JOTFC members. Plus bonus track by Ooöl Fjölkunnîgr.

Zartipo - "Live" (M&E 302, 1995)

The excellent smoking experimental rock guitar work of Andrei Ivanou and compatriots, plus bonus tracks from the new album.

15. LITHUANIA

Simply enchanting gothic rock, beautifully crafted by sisters Izabella and Aleksandra, the latter tragically lost to us in 1997, sadly missed.
