    "B.E.M.S." was chosen as 'Record Of The Year' by John Lydon in New Musical Express in 1978; John Peel was also a supporter. 

    Martoc, aka Martin O'Cuthbert, has been making alien and alienated synth-pop in the UK since the post-punk period. This compilation gathers six songs released on seven-inch EPs during the years 1978-80, plus four songs released during the first decade of this century!

     
    The tracks show a distinctive stylistic unity, inspired by fellow spirits like Fad Gadget, The Normal, John Foxx and Kraftwerk.
