Very cool track listing! Hopefully the comp is using master tapes as its source, and not a vinyl transfer. Excited to have a high-quality version of the "So Much for Love" Rock Mix, and the Extended Mix of City Flat by Boom Crash Opera. I recently picked up their boxset and it was brickwalled...so disappointing!

A good compilation and it's nice to see the Dugites on there. :)

This looks like a great set. Unfortunately, seeing that it is more than likely sourced out of Australia, I imagine that it will be mastered by Don "Brickwall" Bartley, since he tends to be the main mastering engineer that tackles most Australian reissues. In other words, these tracks will be loud, distorted, and harsh. But, I hope that I'm wrong!

There's another thread about this, but I thought I'd answer a question from this original thread...

The mastering is by a guy called Warren Barnett (at Mountain Moss Mastering). So, not Don Bartley :) The mastering is a bit weird, though, as there are numerous volume fluctuations from track to track throughout the set. I have to say that a few tracks are a bit loud but, on the whole, I'm quite pleased with it.

Incidentally, this was originally due out back in Feb but the label withdrew it in the week of release so that they could have an accompanying vinyl release pressed and set up a campaign for the entire "12 Inch Dance" series here in Australia. A handful still made it to the stores then, though.

The vinyl tracklisting omits some tracks from the 3CD (and is double the price):
Side 1
1. Models - I Hear Motion (Extended Mix)
2. Machinations - Pressure Sway (Extended Version)
3. Schnell Fenster - Whisper (Extended Version)
Side 2
1. Yothu Yindi - Djapana (Gapirri Mix)
2. Split Enz- I Walk Away (Extended Version)
3. The Dugites - Cut The Talking (12” Extended Remix)
Side 3
1. Icehouse - Hey, Little Girl (Extended Dance Mix)
2. No Justice - Lately (And Now For Something Completely Different) (feat. Nikki Bennett)
3. Wa Wa Nee - Can’t Control Myself (Mixus Maximus Remix)
Side 4
1. Hunters & Collectors - Say Goodbye (Extended Mix)
2. Boxcar - Gas Stop (High Octane Mix)
3. Real Life - Catch Me I’m Falling (Extended Version)

New release date for CD and vinyl is 14 Jul.

You know I didn't really know much about Australian New Wave apart from the one hit wonders that appeared in the UK such as Mental As Anything. But there are some really good tunes that should have got more attention over here. Australia had it's own scene going on there is lots of catchy stuff to listen to. I like QED and Jenny Morris. She has a really cool voice that makes even weak material sound good. Also Kids In The Kitchen Bitter Desire is a classic.
Another great track not included here is Koo De Tah - Too Young For Promises .
Any other thoughts/recommendations and did this set ever get released in the end?
Life’s what you make it
