Class aA - Beyond Entertainment, the album released during 2005 by Akoustik Anarkhy has won the Mancunian Compilation Of The Year in an online poll on the BBC Manchester website.The album features many rising stars (and thewonderwall favourites) such as Autokat, Loose Canon, Harrisons and The Longcut who you'll be hearing plenty of in 2006, and of course the already famous Nine Black Alps

"Beyond Entertainment proves one thing and that is that six years of late nights, kitchen gigs, unstoppable energy, stage invasions and indefatigable belief in a dream have all been worth it. Long may the Anarkhy continue." BBC Manchester
