Thanks for the post. It starts out pretty typical, but it looks like a lot of less common cuts are also included...will check it out.

CD debut (as far as I know) of Susan Fassbender "Twilight Cafe"! I'll buy it just for that.

It is quiet similar to the alterative 80s compilation of a few years ago.

I never heard of:
Metal Dance - SPK
Moskow Diskow - Telex
O Superman - Laurie Anderson
Up The Hill Backwards - David Bowie
Lawnchairs - Our Daughters Wedding
Kick In The Eye - Bauhaus
Liberator - Spear Of Destiny
Chihuahua - Bow Wow Wow

Is it worth a purchase for these?

While those tunes alone wouldn't do it for me, I am hoping B-Movie's Remembrence Day is the version from the Nowhere Girl US 12" single. I don't think that particular version is on cd yet...?

Spk's Metal Dance seems to have been omitted from the tracklisting.
