Jazz excursions done far out, freaked out and done up with hammond organ's

CDR / La
Peste / Volume 1
La Peste is more than Boston's finest unrecognized force in first wave
(circa 1978) punk to me. This CD has 23 songs. There is no info about
where the tracks were recorded, but you can hear that the disc comprises
a few different sessions, one session after another. Some of the sessions
may from live radio sessions, some may be studio demos. None of the tracks
are throwaway in terms of content or quality.

/ opensource.code / Source Records
This compilation is made up of artists doing the "minimal house"
thing. You know: slightly housey beats, with some glitchy, fuzzy sounds
thrown in. I have been wary of compilations lately, having purchased a
few duds. I am happy to report, this is not one of them.

3 CD Box Set
/ The Wipers / Is this Real? - Youth Of America - Over
The Edge / Zeno Records
The Wipers were a great American punk rock band from Portland, Oregon.
They wrote cool songs about love and death and teenage alienation. They
may be the only punk band to have a peace sign logo.
