Soul Jazz Records' new collection, 'Electro Throwdown - Sci-Fi Inter-Planetary Electro Attack on Planet Earth 1982-89', is a journey into the outer reaches of electro, a galactic roller-coaster ride of turbo-charged sci-fi grooveology. // The album is comprised of mainly private-press and independent label electro jams of the highest calibre (with some as rare as space ships landing on Mars) all created in the 1980s, at a time when a vocoder, a Roland TR-808 drum machine and a groove was all that was needed to get the party started. // With a few notable exceptions (Michael Jonzun's Jonzun Crew and The Packman) the album features mainly under-the-radar killer tracks from a host of one-off artists and back-room electronic pioneers - including Pretty Tony, Planet Detroit (James McCauley, aka Maggotron) and Rich Cason - who together helped shape the sound of electro across the USA from Miami to New York, Los Angeles and beyond during the 1980s. // This album comes with full sleeve notes (from Derek Walmsley of The Wire).
