Recently rediscovered in secret vaults, forgotten by time and the internet, this is a collection of unreleased and rare New Zealand music that we think you'll quite like, actually!
A Flip And Two Twisters is a well-compiled, and good-looking, collection spread across double gatefold vinyl that includes cuts from local heavyweights Shihad, The Mint Chicks, Jakob, High Dependency Unit, and The Fanatics, alongside up and coming contenders James Duncan, Body Corporate, and Yokel Ono as well as some champion pugilists in the form of Straitjacket Fits, Meterman, The Never Ends, and The Subliminals. That should be enough to tell you if you want this… but let’s add the extra incentive of a whopping ten tracks that have never previously seen the light of day – let alone the darkness of wax – and you’ll be queuing up to get your hands on this wee bugger.
Like the kinetic and rhythmic Len Lye sculpture that is its namesake, A Flip And Two Twisters will leave you mesmerised, but as it is pressed in limited quantities and available right now, you best get cracking and pick up a copy quick-smart…
