Release - October 1996

The Following is a write up given to the CD from Transmission Communications, an independent Australian record label specialising in progressive innovative electronica -

A continual pulse check for local electronic music, Opus Collective takes the genre from pure pop to pure massacre, generally within the space of only a few songs. Yes, the guitar has subverted much of this second collection of anti-pub rock bands! This, their second compilation, presents the work of sixteen artists, with an emphasis on the art of the pop song. Nearly all tracks feature a lead vocal, and the attention to melody is reminiscent of early electronic pop and groups like Depeche Mode, New Order, A Flock Of Seagulls, etc., while the studio aesthetics firmly place this compilation in 1996.
