Various Artists - Strange Passion: Explorations in Irish Post-Punk DIY and Electronic Music 1980-83
Since I can only name two musical acts from Ireland off the top of my head (Imelda May
and U2, and I only like the former), and I've never associated Ireland
with any musical scene or movement beyond Irish folk music, this
compilation is great and totally eye-opening. Plus, it's post-punk and
electronic music. All the better! Here's a brief interview by Fact Magazine
with the compilation's curator Darren McCreesh in which he touches on
Ireland's underground music history and shares a few tracks, some of
which appear on Strange Passion.
