    JD Twitch (of Optimo Music ) has put together this exemplary selection of post-punk nuggets from the 'DIY' era - an innovative, risky and expressive motion that happened after the incendiary punk years. Amongst the more successful acts in this period, such as Throbbing Gristle, Scritti Politti and The Buzzcocks, there were a few bands that did not experience success, yet epitomise the spirit of this remarkable time - the focus of this essential compilation.
