> History has recognised the innovative brilliance of the Gang of
> Four, but overlooked the Au Pairs' similarly significant feminist,
> social-commenting agit-funk. Formed in 1978, the significance of
> their two girl/two boy/lesbian/straight line-up was matched with
> lyrics as brave as any from the post-punk period: tackling
> subjects as then taboo as menstruation, tranquilliser addiction
> and male domination. It's weird to think that only 20 years ago
> Diet's "He works the car/ I wash the sink/ I'm not here to think"
> was typical of many households and perhaps still is. This 2CD
> anthology collects their two albums alongside sessions: their
> music hasn't dated a jot. Like an imaginary collision of the Go4,
> Slits and disco, topped by Lesley Wood's strident vocals, they
> created to a heady, insightful femme punk funk that is ripe for
> rediscovery.
