As someone pointed out in the comments, it's about time someone put up the preceding NME cassette, C81, which features significant post-punk/new-pop artists such as Pere Ubu, Orange Juice, Aztec Camera, Cabaret Voltaire and the Buzzcocks.
And what is today's answer to C81 and C86? Well, don't look to anything quite so groundbreaking NME for it; the closest they'd give you would be things like NME Britpack, with the latest watered-down, sharp-suited Gang Of Four/Duran Duran copyists, tediously derivative retro-rockists like Razorlight and Yourcodenameis:Milo and, of course, Dionysiac Genius of Rock, Pete Doherty.
Well, I found my copy on SoulSeek ages ago, so you may have luck there.
Btw, in addition to the Windows client and Python/X11/Gtk client, there's now apparently a MacOS X client:

Yes, the Bodines. Excellent. Been searching hi and lo for their stuff.
See if you can find their album Played, or at least the track "Heard It All".
One of these days I'm going to make a "songs that sound like New Order but aren't" compilation, and that will be on it.
And a companion volume called "songs that sound like Joy Division and aren't"?
can someone who got the mp3s wrap them up and bittorrent them? cheers
