Along with Josef K, Orange Juice and Scars, Fire Engines are part of the burgeoning post-punk music scene coming out of Scotland. Listening to this hotch-potch of live recordings and outtakes - including a killer version of Get Up And Use Me that sounds like it was recorded in a cardboard box - it is easy to see why they are so revered by the likes of fellow Scots Franz Ferdinand, et al.

As with their peers Gang Of Four, also enjoying a respectful renaissance, the Engines' choppy, edgy, passionate and uncompromising sound will be familiar to those too young to have heard them first time round but who today worship Franz Ferdinand, while those old enough to have seen them in their prime will marvel at how little has changed in music and at how fresh and "moderne" they sound today.

The sound quality on this album is pretty atrocious and the mix is all over the place but, frankly, who cares? It neatly sums up the DIY approach such bands were adopting a quarter of a century ago. Hang on, a quarter of a century? Cripes, is it that long?...
