A
bit of a step backwards for the band who released 2000's astonishing
(and astounding) "16 Wires from the New Provocate." Understandable,
though, as it's all material dating from 1991-95 -- all studio outtakes
and demos. Still, here are sixteen smokin' tracks from one of Japan's
best '77-style punk bands since the demise of Teengenerate (R.I. f'in'
P.).
Fave tracks include "Here Comes the Summer/Out Side," an alternate version of their 1995 single "Monkey" (from four years earlier) "Say I Love You," "Fast Up," "Broken My Heart," "Boring" (I really dig the herky-jerky rhythm in the chorus), and splendid cover of Satan's Rats' "In My Love for You."
