Repressed. The Efficient Space label follows its acclaimed 2016
Sky Girl
compilation (EFFICIENT 002CD/LP) with
Midnite Spares
. Here, Australian music devotees
András Fox
and
Instant Peterson
hold a candle to overlooked avant-pop and electronic works by antipodean artists and outsiders working through the '80s and '90s. Through co-presenting their weekly radio show "Strange Holiday", the duo slowly upturned their locale for inspiration - archives, country bookstores, private collections and convenience stores - searching for a place to anchor their own identities in the oceans of the island continent. The ten tracks here acknowledge a minor history, passed on via a network of friends, friends of friends, the libraries of radio station 3RRR and more often than not, the artists themselves. Renowned mixed media artist
Maria Kozic
enters with the mysterious downbeat of "Trust Me", her partner
Philip Brophy
responsible for digital and analog sonic construction (as the
MK Sound
). A recurring character in András and Instant Peterson's investigations, Brophy reappears with a score piece from his divisive feature film
Salt, Saliva, Sperm and Sweat
(1988), recorded as

(pronounced "Tch Tch Tch"). Other links are thread under the surface. Melbourne inner north experimentalist
David Chesworth
explores his Australiana song-craft leading
Whadya Want?
on "Open Spaces". The short lived project also featured
Philip Jackson
, whose duo
The Couch
is restored from Fast Forward's dance issue - a pioneering cassette fanzine published by early-80s 3RRR personality
Bruce Milne
. The collection binds a certain musicianship that's indifferent to fame or chart success, although some artists unwittingly experienced this before and after.
Poets Of The Machine
's
Grace Jones
techno-wave was a modest moment for Coral Island and Red Stripe, an English migrant who once celebrated a #1 UK Christmas single with an acapella cover of "Yazoo", while the morbid coming of age electronics of
Foot And Mouth
is a lesser known prologue to
Sean Greenway
and
Matty Whittle
's rise as legendary teen punks heroes
God
. Quickly becoming a modern dancefloor hit,
Mumbo Jumbo
's sole release "Wind It Up" is only now basking in its brilliance. The remaining figures shape the diversity further. There's Sydney dub addicts
The Igniters
,
Mix
's groovy synth song about masturbation and the
Cameron Allen
and
Graham Bidstrup
soundtrack for petrol headed "ozploitation" film,
Midnite Spares
(1983) -- the compilation's namesake.
