A much gentler mix this time. Starts at a fast pace but slows progressively until the final reverb drains away.

1. Ritual Howls — “Nervous Hands”, 2016.
   Ritual Howls drape their songs in baroque, tenebristic tones that paint uncomfortable soundscapes. Here, the mournful guitar suggests a night in the desert you’ll be lucky to escape.
2. For Against — “Amen Yves”, 1990.
   Lonesome, alienated post-punk that lulls the listener into a somnambulistic state with its delicate guitar work and trance-inducing structure. An act of subversive musical beauty.
3. The Murder Mystery — “Pavement Angels”, 2018.
   Luscious, string-laden post-punk that falls far to the left on the melodic and smooth side of the spectrum without losing its urgency.
4. Heaven 17 — “Let Me Go (Extended Version)”, 1982.
   Best described with this comment from YouTube: “This is not a song this a vibrating masterpiece”.
5. Psyche — “The Saint Became a Lush”, 1993.
   Psyche wove new wave, 4AD, industrial and new beat into some of the most insistent, skulking, claustrophobic noir disco of the entire decade.
6. Philadelphia Five — “BongaWalk (Mix II)”, 1988.
   Critically underrated and criminally unknown new beat act Philadelphia Five released only a handful of tracks, but they all punch nicely on the darker side. This, a percussive workout, highlights their immaculate production skills.
7. Nitzer Ebb — “Let Your Body Learn (Instrumental)”, 1987.
   The slowed down BPM of the instrumental lets this song occupy the space it deserves: off the stage and into the bedroom.
8. Rotersand — “Hot Ashes”, 2020.
   Let’s get right to the point: fascists should have their heads stomped. Preferably during this track’s bassline breakdown.
9. Coil — “Who’ll Tell”, 1992.
   Among their epics and opuses, Coil offered us a collection of tiny golden library of short, sly and secretive tracks. This is one of their best.
10. Little Computer People — “Sea of Love”, 2001.
    Delicate early aughts electro that survives the musical wasteland of that decade through timeless pure good taste in production.
11. Ghost Cop — “Enhance”, 2018.
    Modernizing the electro synthpop sound, Ghost Cop architect a dense maze of ultraviolet neon and digital dissolution that shimmers like petrol on wet pavement.
12. Riki — “Spirit Of Love”, 2020.
    Riki invite us into her prismatic world of re-retro-rehash-remix of new-old-new-again sounds and it’s a place we don’t want to leave.
13. Tears For Fears — “Head Over Heels”, 1985.
    The masters of iconic 80s songcraft.
14. Topographies — “In Crept Doubt”, 2020.
    One of this generation’s rising stars, Topographies dwell in a shadowy corner between shoegaze and post-punk that refracts light and sound in all kinds of interesting ways.
