★ G'day!

Howdy! Damian writing from Adelaide. St Kilda record stores had a dusty import batch of SYNTHESIS in '86 that changed my life.

★ Top Track

Bloody brilliant track: 'If This Is the End'. The guitar solo on this pressing rips hard.

★ Aussie Vinyl & Cassettes

Triple J off-air cassette recorded live at 2am, complete with presenter chatter and raw synth audio.
