The winners here on this platter are the Strike numbers ( with the female singer Lesley Whitten).

What a superb comp! Not a duff track to these ears. Restraining oneself to three favorites, I'd call out the odd, funny, half-instrumental, deeply political "Recession" by Reflex Action; the heavy grinding dirge of Stage B's "Recall to Life"; and Strike's gorgeous "Running Past," which puts me in mind of one of my favorite indie acts of the past decade, Sally Crewe and the Sudden Moves.
