About Broken Flag

Broken Flag was founded in 1982 by Gary Mundy of Ramleh and Debbie Thomas. It was a sporadic but influential power electronics and industrial label which focused on radical music, noise, and power electronics. Its earliest releases centred on Mundy’s own project Ramleh before expanding to artists such as Le Syndicat, M.B., Controlled Bleeding, Giancarlo Toniutti, and other Mundy-related projects.

Mundy kept Broken Flag active as a label and distribution outlet, continuing to issue Ramleh material and related underground releases. This new “Morality” edition follows Fourth Dimension’s earlier reissue of another Broken Flag compilation, “Never Say When”.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
