Anyone who says music was better in the old days is an idiot who should be brutally murdered. Old music is rubbish. 

In an effort to make the world a better place, MoD bought 25 copies of a compilation tape of particularly crap old music - BMG's 'Sentimental Journey' - and have radically repurposed their corporeal vehicles of affected emotion. 

The cassettes have been emptied of their disgusting post-war shmaltz, and are now full to the brim with the best contemporary underground pop music attainable. Slash-and-burn, baby. Slash-and-burn. 

This is the second compilation by MoD to recycle cassettes. A couple of the artists on this one were on the last, albeit in very different forms. Most are new. All are brilliant. 

These cassettes can't hurt people anymore.

@JAKEROLLINS - Lord of the perfect song structure, master of the distorted microphone signal, king of the guitar strum - blessed us with two versions of this amazing song. The other version will be a bonus track!

Jake Rollins - Figure It Out [from Sentimental Journey]

Twisted, jarring psychedelia from some ants in Texas. Tomorrow never knows what the fuck this pizza boy will turn up with.

FKA @Hany-bany-happy-hour. The booming voice of Belgian goth-gazers @WhisperingSons. I met Fenne when we both lived in Prague in 2014. She showed me this song after a party at her flat and it burrowed right into my chest and laid a bunch of eggs there. Darker than a black hole, with a similarly inescapable field of gravity. I pray every day that she'll make more music.

An ugly guy called Stephen from Ireland. He makes music to accompany you through the meaningless abyss of existence. This track is so great and moving and speaks to the bit of yourself that knows how much you fucking suck. @AllisonsGate, @S-U-E-P and I were going to do a cover of it but we got busy being useless pieces of shit, quite fittingly, and never did. :'(

From Jersey via London, Allison's Gate has been quietly working on semi-improvised, often free form, music for a few years. Slowly she is starting to include more structured elements. This  track is, I think, a great halfway point between those two poles in her work. This track completely fucked me up when I first heard it, and continues to do so on every re-listen. If you get to see her play this life, you might die. I'm so excited to hear what she does next. Hopefully it'll come out on MoD!

An elusive character from Brighton. Only heard JPWR's music when @PorridgeRadio's bassist, Madilda Royale aka @Cannibal-Orange, sent some to me on the sly. I was blown away. Pop music from the future. Emotion music from space.

These two genuine postmen only used a phone to record this song. It's the best song on this tape (sorry other artists, but it's true). These guys are currently living in what used to be a school for troubled kids in Brighton. Come to think of it, it is still for troubled kids. These guys are the only ones lucky enough to be on this cassette technically twice, and they deserve every minute they take up. I wish all music was this good, but sadly it isn't.

The drummer of Soft Cough, hailing from NY state. This dude knows his way around an obscenely catchy post-emo tune or two. Was very hard to decide which of the tracks from his incredible debut release, 'mane braider', to include on this tape, so make sure you check the rest of them out. Opens the door to my cold, cold heart.

Brain Wader - Paperclips [from Sentimental Journey]

Record Label & management.
Spewing morbid noise out into the void.
