1981’s ZE’s Mutant Disco compilation peeled back disco music’s shiny leatherette finish toreveal its stinking rotten soul. And as it turns out, it was also a perfect metaphor for the1980s: if disco music was the non-stop credit card-fuelled party, then ZE records’ MutantDisco comp was its coke-induced nosebleed. A veritable “who’s who” of the post-punk nowave,this two volume vastly extended version—available for the first time on vinyl—includes James Chance’s Contortions, Bill Laswell’s Material featuring Sonny Sharrock andFred Frith and ex-Labelle member Nona Hendryx; Was (Not Was) brilliant early single, KidCreole’s hit, “Annie, I’m Not Your Daddy” and ZE superstars, The Aural Exciters with“Spooks in Space”. Need we say more?
