Originally released on CD in 2007, Chapter Music's acclaimed "Can't Stop It! II" returns as a deluxe double LP, documenting one of the most creative and adventurous periods in Australian underground music.

Covering the years 1979 to 1984, the compilation explores a scene that was rapidly developing its own identity, moving beyond overseas influences and embracing a remarkably diverse range of sounds. Post-punk provides the common thread, but the music featured here stretches into experimental pop, art rock, industrial textures, early electronic music and even proto-rap.

Alongside now-classic tracks such as Severed Heads' "Lamborghini" and Use No Hooks' "Do The Job", the collection features early recordings connected to artists who would later gain international recognition, including Lisa Gerrard (Dead Can Dance) and Mark Seymour (Hunters & Collectors). This expanded edition also adds six bonus tracks, many of them previously unreleased, plus updated liner notes, rare photos and redesigned artwork.

An essential overview of Australia's post-punk underground and a fascinating snapshot of a scene driven less by style than by pure creativity and experimentation.
