Mick Magic become a central figure in the world underground cassette scene from the sleepy town of Frimley, south of London. Banging out space rock with his band, Magic Moments At Twilight Time, championing underground bands with his zine, The Mattrix, distributing and releasing tapes with his Music And Elsewhere label ( which later morphed into the United World Underground ), and basically working night and day (when not driving a cab) on underground music activities.
This wonderfully diverse compilation features Into The Abyss (Greece), Dark Star (Germany), Eye (Australia), Earth (Germany), Grass Harp (Germany), Ras.Al.Ghul (Portugal), Idiom (England), Blacklight Braille (USA), Lord Litter (Germany), The Stinking Badger Of Java (Australia), Neo (England), TMR (England), Cosmic Dance Society (Germany), Love In A Plague (England) and Steve Andrews & Ned Zero (UK).
''it was only the first epiphany of many as time revealed that global underground to be far greater than the sum of its parts, probably even more so than any of us ever realised. You think about it; we were all communicating with bands and like-minded souls from the four corners of our world'' don campauV/A -United World Underground Compilation
