This compilation contains music by some of the label's favourite acts, some you should know already, some you may not. All of them have helped to cement aA's reputation as a haven for alternative underground talent.

Akoustik Anarkhy aA2w/016

This Empire We've Created
Following on from the excellent "Cruising On The 86" single, Loose Canon return with this new single. Starting off with slow atmospheric guitars before exploding into a pacier, driven guitar blast, topped with their distinctive narrative vocals.

Autokat : The Driver
Akoustik Anarkhy aA2W/015
The Driver
The debut single from Manchester favourites Autokat is a cool slice of beat driven guitar psych. Despite the traditional line up of guitars, drums, bass and vocal, their varied listening habits have created an unusual sound that's hard to pigeonhole. "The Driver" is pure pounding sonic momentum which sounds genuinely exciting, while on the flip, "Television" is angular punk pop at it's finest.

Yacht Club : 'YC001'
Akoustik Anarkhy aA2w/014
Taxi Is Driving
What Does That Smile Mean
Open Your Eyes
Yacht One
There is an air of mystery surrounding Yacht Club . They have yet to play live and bar a couple of versions of " Yacht One" finding their way onto the decks of some of Manchester's alternative music nights, no one knows much about them... From the opening tripping beats on "Taxi Is Driving", which could be an acid laced sci fi Dick Dale-esque Tarrintino soundtrack, you get the feeling you're in for a journey of musical enlightenment. Sounds and sequences you can't locate or recall ever hearing before. "Open Your Eyes" is a haunting electronic trip hop that introduces the etheral vocals of Yacht Club , before the dark, sinister and brooding "What Does That Smile Mean?" which displays an underlying beauty and innocence within the darkness. " Yacht One" closes the EP in an upbeat manner, guitar led moodiness that's brimming with confidence, excitement and fitting crescendo to this truly eclectic mix of a record.

Loose Canon : Cruising On The 86
Acoustik Anarkhy aA2w/013
Cruising On The 86
Recorded in a weekend away in Falmouth, this is their first material recorded in a 'proper studio' and the results are a huge leap from their previous 'lo-fi' efforts. The title track "Cruising On The 86" (which refers to the bus route Noel travels everyday) is a brooding epic of a track with squally guitars and a relentless punk-funk-ish rhythm weighing in at just short of five minutes long. Should make fans of Interpol, British Sea Power and the like sit up and listen!

Loose Canon : 'What Comes Next?'
Akoustik Anarkhy aA2W/012
What Comes Next
Two track 7" from Loose Canon. "What Comes Next?" has choppy guitars, thumping bass and gritty melodic vocals over a rolling drum beat. "Take These Eyes" on the flip, is less moody, but no less powerful. Well worth checking out.
7" - £2.49 +P&P
Limited quantities of these, so grab one while you can.
