(Alternative Tentacles) This compiles two ultra obscure albums by a long-haired West Virginia hardcore band that made one record in 1985 of early 80s regular hardcore (with some Dead Kennedy's social satire/political diatribe leanings), but then instead if going metal crossover a couple years later like too many others they wen't prog jazz punk, making vocalist Bobb Cotter's ridiculous sputterings all the more surreal. The packaging (with great liner notes, photos and reproductions of the band's perhaps too professional looking show flyers) and the inclusion of rarities and ep tracks makes this another worthy entry in AT's rediscovery of weirdo band series.
