International post-punk compilations

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:
