Brisbane in the 1980’s was quite a progressive place to be. Away from the limelight of more established Australian cities such as Sydney and Melbourne, music created in Brisbane was allowed to develop at its own pace. The likes of the Saints and probably Australia’s greatest indie legends, The Go-Betweens, had already put Brisbane on the radar of the discerning music lover before Murray Power formed Lets Go Naked in the mid 1980s. Despite, not sounding massively different to the Go-Betweens, Lets Go Naked went largely unnoticed outside their own backyard and would have remained just another great ‘lost’ band had those nice people at Egg Records not managed to put together this fine retrospective spanning over 20 years. With a nod also to the UK C86 scene blossoming in provincial cities such as Bristol, Manchester and Glasgow, tracks like 'See Me Now', 'Three Limbs' and 'Hudson' could easily have slotted onto the almost mythical NME cassette. Elsewhere, 'Sometimes' is probably the most perfectly formed pop nugget on show and is worth the price tag alone. All in all another must for indie-pop fans.
