VARIOUS-PUNK/HARDCORE/EMO Ageha (Scarce 2000 Limited Edition German 5-track vinyl 7" EP compilation featuring screamo heavyweights 'Yage', unsung emo greats '125, Rue Montmarte' plus other essential European post-hardcore offerings from 'Buoyancy', 'Die Kosmo Gesellschaft' and 'Peace of Mind'. Equally as exhilarating as the music on this gem of an alternative punk-hardcore record is the phenomenal packaging, its makers have left no design-stone unturned here, presented in a custom stickered gatefold style sleeve with integral lyric/bio book on the bands, fold-out booklet + a stunning mini-fanzine with string binding housed in mounted picture envelopes with illustrated innerspread and label postcard - a fabulous package with a real hand-made, carefully considered design feel. The labels are wide-centre and plain red, with barely if not unplayed condition vinyl - a lesson in beautiful packaging and perfectly crafted alternative hardcore rock from this European gathering, this is how punk-rock released should be, extremely tough to find!
