Great German archivist - By: , 19 Jan 2006 
Wolfgang's presciencein beingin the right place at the right time is somewhat marred by the quality, which is sometimes appalling. Nevertheless an enjoyable documentary for those who love the music of the era.
For a true flavour of England post-punk I would recommend 'Rough Cut & Ready Dubbed' which is better at nailing the all pervading sense of impending violence & also contains a healthy dose of British humour.
A brilliant evokation of the London punk scene in late 77 - By: nigeyb, 06 Oct 2005 
Just watched this beauty. Does a brilliant job of evoking the London punk scenein late 77. Some of the idealism lives on. Bands springing up all over the place. Still lots of diversity & enthusiasm but also quite a bit of cynicism (Roadent), pretensious nonsense (Magenta Divine - I think), enigmatic comments (Vic Goddard), downright aggression (Jean Jacques Burnell) & loads of great footage. Brilliant & essential. Evokes the era wonderfully. For anyone who missed it read the Andy Blade book & then watch this - or the other way round if you like. That was the thing we called the punk rock. In a nutshell. Grim, grubby, wonderful & forever fascinating. We'll not see its like again, & I suppose that's why we still pick over the bones. Again & again. Recommended.
