various | will our children thank us

occasionally a compilation comes along that is nothing less than genre-defining. foundry's "will our children thank us" is one of those. but what genre exactly? i guess you'd have to call it british post-rock perhaps. or new neu maybe. or something else entirely. or better still nothing at all.

2. glenda - billy mahonie
3. carnival of souls [ghost train dub] - pram
4. fonk - electric sound of joy
5. close frank falling - wisdom of harry
