Various: Speed Of Sound

By Mikhal Norriss
I have to admit that I am not normally a fan of compilations as there are always those 'compulsory skip’ tracks but every song on 'Speed of Sound’ flows effortlessly into the next and there isn’t a bad seed in the lot. The listener is rewarded with some of the best up and coming and also established Kiwi acts. It all kicks off with an engaging instrumental track by HDU, setting the mood for this brilliant rock(ish) Flying Nun compilation. Then there is some good old dirty rock’n’roll with The D4’s hit Exit to the City and a very noisy Brown Paper Bag by duo The Hasselhoff Experiment. Tracks by Flying Nun legends Chris Knox, The Clean and the Tall Dwarfs; and some fresh talent with new signings and fresh favourites around town The Mint Chicks and PanAm. Oh! And don’t forget betchadupa, Robert Scott, Graeme Downes, Garageland and The Subliminals. A summer album to thrash on your stereo.
