Note About Shipping To The U.S.
We are located in Canada, but have registered ourselves on eBay.com instead of eBay.ca because it gives us significantly better global exposure.  The problem with this is that eBay wants us to charge shipping appropriate to US, where media mail and other options make for fairly reasonable delivery costs. We tried it for a while but ended up losing money on shipping or having to cancel the orders because we couldn't afford to ship for those rates. To manage this we have set the US shipping to run a calculator based on an American location (we chose Plattsburgh as fairly close) and charging according to UPS pricing.  This avoids the cancellation issue, but can appear to the buyer to be a prohibitive shipping cost and misrepresents the shipping as being only expedited. If you give us your postal code we will see if we can offer a more reasonable option, but generally we can get a single LP by air to most places in the continental US for $11, a double $16, a few bucks less for ground. If you pay for the item and the shipping was less than you paid we will refund you the difference

Review by Aalto Jul 26 2012  4.50 stars

Here is a host of songs that, for reasons perhaps not fully intentional, fits together deliciously and more or less sums up the whole sort of England's Hidden Reverse œuvre that manages to adapt that '80s cassette-released synth-pop, martial industrial, tape loops/collages, anarcho punk, BBC Radiophonic Workshop bleeps and a few other things into a cogent, inspiring and gorgeous whole. The title quickly makes sense when considering this compilation was released in support of the Animal Liberation Front which here turns out to be a gratifyingly well-represented cause, only slightly hinted at (if even that) within the music itself. The beast beckons me fairly often with this album, generally late-night listening as it is, affecting me to the point that I wonder why I ever listen to anything different. Perhaps the bigger names on the album having made slightly atypical contributions helps stir up the atmosphere a bit.

I'd say records like this should be the next port of call for anyone really thrown off-balance by more "successful" releases such as NWW's Homotopy to Marie, C93's Dogs Blood Rising and perhaps even EN's Zeichnungen des Patienten O.T. Devastate to Liberate is like apéritifs for that sort of thing. Current 93 do the Current 93 thing of looping children's choruses, Crass, NWW and Little Annie play mazy old collages, P16.D4 provide two metal-on-metal treats, while Coil and The Legendary Pink Dots give us pop. Few things are better at convincing you you've spent a day in the doldrums by listening to shiny pop music or doing practically anything else. It's daft finding how hard it is to seek out music even vaguely like this from the past couple of decades.
