Gerald, thanks for the tip, I'll bookmark it!
I found this on Spotify, technically it's not post-punk - stylistically much of it is. I'd never seen it before! Now you can hear bands complaining in Italian or Brazilian Portuguese!

So this Irish post punk compilation is relly relly good. Liner notes are fantastic. Need to investigate this Roger Doyle fellow some more.

I've been listening to this since last week, its well worth a listen.
Its a really well sequenced compilation. one that sounds like it went through various iterations on cassette/CDs given to friends till Roger Doyle was finally happy with results.

Have been remiss in not mentioning on this thread Neonbeats, an excellent 2CD comp of post-punk from Austria:

So far I'm really digging this '79-'81 South African punk-funk-reggae, with some micro-prog/jam moves and an implausibly focused dubby work-out:http://blog.lightintheattic.net/?p=12681

Interesting. Have you heard it?

No, just saw it on that site I usually check for new salsa releases. Occasionally they throw in other sorts of things.

I was able to sample a few tracks, much more consistent than "Tension". Ordered, will review.

That Spanish comp, "Sombras: Spanish Post Punk And Dark Pop 1981-1986" is quite good, only a handful of duff tracks.
Found another winner: Italia Synthetica: http://www.discogs.com/Various-Italia-Synthetica-1981-1985/release/4574199
It's much more consistent than "Mutazione: Italian Electronic & New Wave Underground 1980 - 1988", which I felt wasn't all that strong. It's mostly in the vein of early 80s new wave synthpop, quite fun.

Anyone familiar with "Nos Années Punk 1977-1980"? It's sort of a mash of French punk and new wave, not all gold but has it's moments.

Jonathan Bogart has put together an excellent Spanish/Portugese '81-'87 comp, Movidas: Iberian Post-Fascist Pop and New Wave - great rundown of the tracks here:
