"Bustin’ Out" is a startling snapshot of the musical ructions which sprang up after punk’s scorched-earth revolution. The music termed post-punk is well represented in many of its diverse strains by some of its prime movers.
This multi-hued set, compiled by Mike Maguire and the first in the "New Wave To New Beat" series, is a fine testimony to the post-punk era of 1979-1981, encompassing anything from Gary Numan’s austere electronic pop through 23 Skidoo’s atmospheric tribal boogie, passing via Killing Joke’s radical dance approach. The compilation defies blanket description, but illustrates how the disparate post punk spirit captured the rest of the world, providing perfect examples of how music had moved on since 1977’s spring-clean, trampling fences like a herd of elephants in this exciting, unpredictable time.
