Side A (part 1)
Casi Cada Minuto (slavo) - nice disturbing start to the SYG Compilation. Words like textures, ambient, layers of sound should be used in a way that doesn't make the writer sound like a pretentious twat. Alas I am not that writer.
Slot (Diesel) - The most obviously SY (with a bit of JAMC thrown in) influenced with great lazy drum playing! Out of all the tracks probably least like the kind of thing I would listen to these days (who the fuck listens to SY anymore?) but I enjoyed this a lot.
ExFox (SYRFox) - I haven't got much to say about this but I liked it a lot.
Year of the Lips (Genteel Death) - the highlight of side one. This really reminds me of something but I can't think what. The way Sigue Sigue Sputnik SHOULD have sounded had they not been shit. Needs to be released as a 7" single!
Small White (CHOUT) - Starts a bit TOH...and goes downhill from there (only joshing!). Good bit of psycho-surf.
themawt (themawt!) - psycho-lounge doesn't get much better than this.
