名門 Soul Jazz Records が2001年に編纂した、UKポストパンクの革新性を“リズム”という視点から捉え直した決定的コンピレーション。A Certain Ratio、23 Skidoo、Gang Of Four、The Slits、This Heat、Throbbing Gristle、Cabaret Voltaire、The Pop Group など、パンク以降にファンク、ダブ、ディスコ、インダストリアルを大胆に吸収した異端たちを収録。
A Certain Ratio「Shack Up」、Gang Of Four「To Hell With Poverty」、The Slits「In The Beginning There Was Rhythm」など、後のダンス・ミュージックへ直結する強烈なリズム感覚の連続。ポストパンクをロック史ではなくクラブ・ミュージックの前史として再提示した、Soul Jazz屈指の名コンピレーション。
