mystic records. mlp 33142 / 15 tracks / 1985

Another Mystic compilation… as usual this is a grab bag of decent punk and hardcore (D.I., Subculture, Blind Hatred), some so-so tracks and the inevitable letdowns (Exobiota, Bleeding Hearts, SS Nightmares, Scarecrows, Mind over Four). Best band: Just Because with ultrafast 1982-style hardcore. I guess 1985 just wasn’t the time for classic comps anymore. [6]

Mystic-Sampler mit den üblichen Highlights und Enttäuschungen. Einige recht gute Punk- und Hardcore-Tracks von D.I., Subculture oder Blind Hatred; dazu Unerträgliches von SS Nightmares oder Mind over Four. Beste Band sind Just Because mit ultraschnellem Trash-Hardcore, der auch von 1982 sein könnte.
