Compulsion were a brilliant group. "The Future Is Medium" deserved better than the bargain bin I found it in. The sleeve alone attracted me...like a dream I had. The titles were great...one hundred times better than all the Nirvana rip offs around at the time. More imagination, more ideas.
Amazing.. I never knew they made a video for this song! Compulsion were one of my favourite bands of the 90's along with Nirvana!! Please do a re-union?
Great stuff! A seriously under rated band. I saw them live in 93 or 94 supporting Manic Street Preachers in So'ton. I was impressed by their energy so bought the album. But I think The Future is Medium was a step forward for this band, but unfortunately a step away from the commercial market in bands that sounded a bit like Nirvana. Anyway I listened to this album hundreds times when I bought it and thought it was a shame it was never followed up. Great to finally *see* it as well :-)
thanks so much for this. i was a big fan of compulsion. i've found all of you, but i'm wondering... where the hell is josephmary? i miss his voice, keep hoping he still sings and some day i'll come across him again.
