You guys are missing out! This is out of print by the way and fetches about $30 used.
Here's a review:
This is for fans of the experimental alternative of the early 90's. It has guitar hooks and bass riffs as if they were in the Dead Kennedy's. The drummer has some of the best timing that I've ever heard, while the singer reminds me of a more coherant poly styrin (x-ray spex). The real treat is that there is a trumpet player in the band who wails every time it's heard. Great for a party or a night alone with a 10 strip of acid.
That wasn't very good.
Trouserpress:
With the confident, abrasive tension that from then on defined their sound, the words split the difference between intellectual rigor and stuff that sounds great out loud ("Jan 9," a fantasia about scientific ethics with Andy playing a roaring coda on electric viola, is especially brilliant), and Marion's vocal idiosyncrasies (listen to the way she pulls and snaps on the title of "How We Connect"). They haven't tired of esoteric covers, and essay 8 Eyed Spy's "Love Split With Blood" and Ornette Coleman's "Peace Warriors."
