Comment: as we know very well Portugal is being a well fare to foster great imprints like Test Tube, You Are Not Stealing Records, Enoughrecords, Green Field Recordings, XS Records, MiMi Records. Anti-Demos-Cracia as a music label was founded more than 30 years ago with purpose to release music of a combo called Varples Pravles. Since then the discography of the imprint has grown remarkably and music one could find out from there used to range from dark ambient and (post-)industrial incantations and rough psychedelic outbursts and just artsy experimental/unclassifiable glass bead game to more contemporary club driven beats. By the way, under ADC one can find out older, analogue-processed yet now digitalised releases (originally released on tapes or just waiting its time to be issued) and just brand new stuff as well. We Hate All These Liberals is a domestic, rolific, at the moment 13-album project under the label by producing music which can be labelled as rhythmic, profound and catchy. It veers away from deep house vibes, sultry nu/acid jazz oscillations to sublime drum and bass and stylistically more transgressive instances. It is a true quality stuff worth to be played both in sapid night clubs and evening radio shows of a good quality. It is nice to see again that people with conservative world perception love house music. Indeed, who could love all those artificially behaving liberals just by thinking of themselves as kind of better people and as if by knowing what other people also must do and because of that sweeping on a very slippery slope. Hitler knew, Stalin knew, Pol Poth, and Mao Zedong also knew exactly what is the best under their rule. The less the country and lobbist groups come into the life of a single person the better it is. We can all see what is going on in France for more than a couple of months. Another unfortunate example is socialist Venezuela. Grass roots democracy/sub-anarchy would be also an alternative. We want to be set free. However, music is something which provides an asylum against inferior, oppressive tendencies within the human race.

Comment: this is a joint miscellany of 12 tracks by Ephedrina Records, an imprint from Italy, and Anti-Demos-Cracia, an imprint from Portugal. There are represented such artists as Mutaform, CRPTC, Fingerflood, Hypercube, Electric Dreamers, Hist, Overdrive, We Hate All These Liberals, Guta Project, Hesskhè Yadalanah, Errors Alternados, and Orquestra Popular De Paio Pires. I guess most of these names may be unknown to you, however, being an ardent follower of the imprints then you should have made acquaintance with the artists. Let`s have some thread about the compilation which will be clocked in at a 54 minute (indeed, it is an accepted longitude for a compilation). Undoubtedly it is a variegated issue with flourishing accents and exuberant shades. At times it is rhythmically obsessive just consisting of different rhythmic combinations to following one another or establishing new mutations within the rhythmic matrix. Some tracks are broadened with progressions toward atmospheric spheres and extracting an enchanting quintessence from synthesiser. All in all, I could not mention any weak track within the whole so I have to admit it to be a classy, mandatory compilation. Get it, support it.
