Been meaning to nab this since mason’s edition of Baldy’s Sweetness blew me away and the first volume of this compilation was so amazingly good.
label sez:
Another diverse and inspiring compilation of music from Australia’s extraordinary post-punk era, this time featuring some deservedly big names like Severed Heads and Scattered Order, but also introducing previously obscure classics from the likes of Use No Hooks and The Goat That Went “Om”.
amg sez:
While Australia has a well-deserved reputation for quality rock & roll of the fast, loud, and meaty variety (from the Easybeats to Radio Birdman to the Hoodoo Gurus), the artier stuff that emerged down under during the height of the new wave explosion of the late ’70s and early ’80s has never gotten much exposure outside of the continent. The Aussie label Chapter Music attempted to remedy this situation with its 2001 compilation Can’t Stop It!, which collected 20 examples of the more offbeat and angular music to emerge from the Antipodes in this period, and Chapter has since released a sequel. Can’t Stop It! II: Australian Post-Punk 1979-1984 features early efforts from some artists who would be better recognized later on, including Lisa Gerrard of Dead Can Dance (making her recording debut here with Microfilm) and Paul Hester (who years after International Exiles broke up would join Crowded House), while most of the lineup of the great band Hunters & Collectors earlier recorded together in the Jetsonnes, who are also represented here. But the quality of this set is remarkably consistent given the obscurity and stylistic diversity of the music on board. Opening with the harsh guitar-driven electro-pop of the Systematics’ “International Voltage” and closing with the jazz-tinged minimalism of “Never Mind” by Nuvo Bloc, this collection goes in any number of directions in between — arch satiric pop (International Exiles’ “Let’s Be Sophisticated”), earnest Buzzcocks-influenced rave-ups (“Watch My Hands” by Tactics), lush dance-friendly electronics (Severed Heads’ “Lamborghini”), arty funk workouts (“Do the Jobs” by Use No Hooks), pre-goth guitar murk (Scattered Order’s “Swiss Like Knives and Forks”), sexually charged mutant disco (“The Crush” by Asphixiation), hyper-angular noise assaults (Rhythmx Chymx’s “The Now Generation”), and sharply rhythmic piano stuff with a slight dash of prog (Scapa Flow’s “Somewhere”). While some of this stuff is best left for hardcore collectors of the obscure, most of Can’t Stop It! II is intelligent and compelling music, and folks with an interest in the style and the era will find plenty to fascinate them.
