It was Quicksand's last studio album before their initial breakup, leading to a 22-year gap in output until the release of Interiors, in 2017.[12] In the meantime, a follow-up album was conceptualized during their brief 1997–1999 reunion, but it never materialized.[13]

A vinyl version of the album was released in early 2013 by Shop Radio Cast.[11] It incorrectly lists "Landmine Spring" as the first song on the B-side on the cover, when the song is the last song pressed on the A-side.


Critical reception


The Encyclopedia of Popular Music called Manic Compression "another bracing collection of cerebral punk songs."[5] Trouser Press wrote that "producers Wharton Tiers ... and Don Fury condense the sonics considerably on tracks like the writhing 'Divorce' and the brittle 'Thorn in My Side.'"[3]
