Thanks to Sannee Crapsalad for this copy.

This comp was released by Middle Finger Productions (another tape only label owned and run by the Bad Omen crew during the 90's). I had this on tape and still managed to keep it at home (for the sheer, sentimental value, damn right, you folks are!). This was by far, one of the best compilations put out during that era, for me at least. A MFP favorite, if you may.

This was the first time I got to hear material by bands such as Screwheads, Biofeedback, Toilet Skandal, Mongoloids, and Putang I Nas. I still remember feeling and connecting to the angst of the vocalists of Screwheads (Crazy Spike) and Biofeedback (Reypeace), both good friends of mine to this day.

In fact the name of this blog was inspired by the ninth track of this compilation. The Biofeedback/ Screwheads crew were a huge influence on me when I first got involved with the local scene..

Just for the kick of it, here is the poem written by Reypeace himself:

THE REAL STRENGTH

The real strength is the power to think freely for yourself!
Open your mind. Don't place your views on society's shelf.
The real strength is nothing, or nobody can quench
your deep inner needs to resist a life that's biased around a system of greed
The real strength's your strength to understand and break the chain
A strength that burns in your soul, a life without restraint.

The real strength is questioning authority with a look that's fuckin' long
and see that dictating another person's life is totally wrong.
The real strength is the integrity to have jurisdiction of your thought, and not the attitude of bitchin' that makes you easy to be bought.

The real strength doesn't come from hatred but a force governed by love.
I use my rage in a righteous way and together we will rise above.
The real strength is not the macho-hard image you can attain from suckin' dope.
Dope's for the chickenshit motherfuckers who aint got the common sense to cope.

Right Fuckin' On, BFK!!!
