A live coal under the ashes LP+CD set





"One of the high points of the year.....and I think that
in ten years time one will not have forgotten this release."
[Sigill Nr. 2, Germany]

"The CD's five tracks further demonstrate that Contrastate have no
contemporaries and need not fear imitation....Each track is a self
contained world of sadness, of anger, of desperation and the music
paints an emotive picture of modern society without vision...
A masterpiece of sound poetry and highly recommended."
[Music from the Empty Quarter, UK]
