    At least you guys make the tournament - our coach at Nebraska got so pissed at his team's lack of effort that they were locked out of the lounge and locker room for several days. We suck!

      Thanks for additional No Future tracks. I was able to find Best of The Partisans @ 320 on a different site with a quick google search.

    Blitz's second album Second Empire Justice is a long way away from their opening salvo of Oi! Punk. This is a distinct change of course into the realms of New Wave/SynthPop with Post Punk most definitely in the Post. Recorded at Stockport's iconic Strawberry Studios with in-house engineer Chris Nagle assuming production duties (Nagle cut his teeth working alongside Martin Hannett - see Joy Division Unknown Pleasures). Given the factoryesque sleeve design, any assumptions that Blitz wanted a particular Mancunian aura to the album are just that. When you listen to the record, you may likely assume the same. Nagle's production style certainly echoes that of his mentor as Second Empire Justice is much cleaner sounding with layered atmospherics adding depth, but still with a good few delayed snares thrown in for good measure. You will notice (and probably love) how robust the bass guitar is in the mix - just imagine a cross between JJ Burnel and Peter Hook cranked up really loud. Tracks like Underground, White Man and Skin are bass hungry monsters, Acolyte and Flowers & Fire lean more to new-wave. Into The Daylight and Telecommunication delve into classic eighties goth-synth territory. Readers will not be surprised to know that Blitz's original Oi! Punk following hated it.

    Ripped from a vinyl album released on Future Records (FL 1) in 1983 to high quality lossless flac audio.
    A1 Flowers & Fire
    A2 Underground
    A3 Acolyte
    A4 Into The Daylight
    A5 Telecommunication
    B1 White Man
    B2 For You
    B3 Skin
    B4 H.M.K. Grey
