During the mid-"70s, Switzerland had embraced punk withinits cities, informing the subsequent post-punk era of the1980s as music splintered into free form musical strands across the whole of the country. It was to become one of themost innovative periods in Switzerland"s modern day music history. It was unfiltered creativity and this free, non-commercial approach is a common denominator for the songs on this compilation. Many artists operated in their own universe; hardly any of the acts on this album actually met each other at the time. Only Liliput from ZuIêrich achieved notable fame, building on the success of their previous incarnation as Kleenex.
