Catharsis – The Sound of the Wellington Underground 1989-1994 (Vinyl)
Wellington of the early 1990s was a ground breaking place. Taking its cues from international treads it was setting itself on a path that would in future years garner it the title of "coolest little capital in the world". Wellington had always had a vibrant and forward thinking music scene however moving into the 1990s its experimentation and individualism was about to be pushed to the extreme.
Merging from the thriving punk scene of the 1980s it was time to up the anti from angry youth to intellectual thought and chronic self expression, a catharsis of sorts.
Unfortunately due to the lack of physical media production facilities in New Zealand most this music was left in the live environment. 30 years later with the resurgence of the vinyl record a compilation of bands from this influential period in Wellington music has been pulled together to plug this hole in the New Zealand musical landscape.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
