Last Call: Vancouver Independent Music, 1977-1988

Various Artists, “Last Call: Vancouver Independent Music, 1977-1988” (Zulu, 1991)
Exhaustive compilation of punk and postpunk from Vancouver. Across a wide variety of styles (hardcore, indie-jangle, and synth, just for starters), there’s a distinct local sensibility here – crisp, dislocated, bemused, often cool and frenzied at the same time.
