Absolutely essential box set for fans of post-punk experimentalism. These CDs span all their songs from 1982 to 1989, including B-sides and rarities. Savage Republic, I feel, was the only band that could make hours of guitar-driven free-form instrumentalism enjoyable to listen to. They made art punk far more accessible than Pere Ubu and the like, and while bands like Fugazi and Drive Like Jehu took a more abrasive approach and became better known, Savage Republic not only laid the foundation, but the standard by which no post-punk band has surpassed. Recommended.
