    Platform 23 focuses in on the mysterious world of 1980s DIY cassette culture. This collection picks from the various instalments of 'Alternative Funk' that cult, French label Vox Man released in the mid 80s, presenting some brilliant obscurities from the minimal / coldwave and post-punk scene of that time. Superb!
