RUIN, Marie Guilleray und Online Lipnem. Zu einigen Tracks gibt es Videos von der Videokünstlerin Greta Oto.

“A compilation to celebrate the first year of activity… not an easy task: too young to have a clearly defined personality and too old not to have one. Lots of thoughts crossed our minds, mainly revolving all around the same question: should we try to do something different? And lots of advice came our way: you should! You must! You need to! Let me show you how things are done! So, this one is not only a combined action taken in Commando Vanessa style, but also a reaction. We are not looking to be different, we just want to embrace differences. That’s why this is what it is: a diverse, colorful, exaggerated, intimate, political, sexy compilation. Just a flow of different music we like. LET THEM MANSPLAIN! ” (Comando Vanessa)
