Optimo plunder the spoils of anarcho punk with a killer summary of its strengths
in non-conformist diversity and subversive, noisy resilience - 10 years in the
making and stuffed to the gills with belligerent goodies by Crass, Annie
Anxiety, Flux of Pink Indians, Alternative TV, Chumbawumba, The Ex, and many
more

“Anarcho Punk was the one sub-genre of Punk that emerged in isolation from
the rock & roll establishment. During its pioneering days of the early 1980s it
thrived in opposition to the music industry, existing as a fiercely underground
alternative to the bands, labels and venues of the commercialised mainstream
Punk scene. It continues to do so. Anarcho Punk represented one of the last
truly underground and autonomous music movements ever witnessed and remains a
movement that has never sold out and has never gone away.

The major differentiation between the Anarcho Punk acts and the more traditional
Punk outfits was that for the former, albeit often more due to musical
limitation than intent, the message was more important than the music. Standard
song structures were often dispersed with in favour of a relentless lyrical
polemic accompanied by a similarly uncompromising aural assault. As the scene
grew, so did the diversity of records that emerged under the Anarcho Punk
umbrella: from D & V (drums & vocals) to the proto-EBM synth-pop of
Belfast’s one-man Hit Parade and the Dadaist Beefheart hybrid of The
Cravats. In later days the two biggest acts of the scene, Flux of Pink Indians
and Crass themselves, both released LPs which had more in common with improv
Jazz than hardcore punk.

The resounding victory of Anarcho Punk is that it is now a the unifying
soundtrack to a culture of resistance that spans Scotland to Indonesia and
remains without compromise. It is still as removed from mainstream music and
oppositional to conventional culture as it was over forty years ago and shows no
sign of changing. Quite the opposite: the more popular Anarcho Punk becomes the
less it has to engage with the music establishment and the more control it can
enjoy. In 2023, that message remains as uncompromising as ever.

This is a double vinyl retrospective compilation of some of the most radical
music ever made, a musical force that changed lives. Covering the years 1979 -
86 and including classic tracks from Crass, Poison Girls, Flux Of Pink Indians,
The Mob, Zounds, Annie Anxiety, The Ex, ATV plus 10 more, all newly remastered
by iconic Punk mastering engineer Daniel Husayn. It has been lovingly compiled
by JD Twitch and Anarcho legend Chris Low and was ten years in the making. There
are also a couple of previously unreleased mixes included. It comes as a high
quality double vinyl pressing, and has a full colour sleeve with back and front
images designed by the legendary Gee Vaucher. It also comes with a 6 page fold
out poster on one side with detailed sleeve notes, recollections and essays on
the other side.”
