Pernath
is best known for their appearance in the
'soup versus potatoes' series. '15 toes on a breast'
is one of the tracks from this split-tape
with Richie Cunningham. The other song by Pernath is
'Date song', a studio outtake.

Michael J Hex is known from noseflute fame. 'Insane'
is one of the highlights on 'Hiss explosion'. Excellent
kiwi-stuff. hard to describe. Postpop? Dronepop? I really
don't know.

Zent one
is of course Oliver Driessens, the man from Lichen, Karate
kit (see below), Geiger counter, Tractor, etc... But his
best project up to here is Zent one. That is why he will
record a tape for Morc records. 'Glass of genes' is the
demo version from one of the mighty guitar-soundscapes.
Think of Aerial M meests Low, but more drone-like.

taylor (brand
abrasive sound structure) was one of Chicago's
finest. And no, i'm not exaggerating. If they would have
been on Touch & Go, they would be certainly one of the
best acts there. '17 hours' proves my point. You would almost
forget that Albini recorded their debut-album (available
in a wonderful metal-case). sadly split up in april 2001...

And than there is
Circle brothers. What can I say? It's pure circle
brothers-stuff: instrumental, slow, distorted... 'Sub-human'
is taken from hist tape "Seesaw" 'A photographer's
index' was unreleased up to now. Really one of his better
songs, Circle brothers released a new tape on morc 'bitter
dream' in the fall of 2000.

Also slow and distorted: Motorama
But yet totally different. Think of Karp, Jesus Lizard and
No Tomorrow Charlie. Jamming together in one room. So Canada
really is more than The Tragically Hip, Ron Sexsmith and
Neil Young. how could we resist Motorama?

Already split up two years before this releas, but
nevertheless on this compilation: Trinket.
The postwavenoise-ensemble from Izegem released 'Kitty Nowen',
a postume EP on Morc. (featering the original version of
'I can play with madness') If you want them to reunite,
please send e-mail to Morc. You never know

I mean, for
a half a year ago, who thought that Karate
kit was getting back toghether? Oliver is in
at least 10 other bands. And the other half, well, he is
Circle brothers. Maybe they will once record another tape
for Morc. And that will probably result in more noises like
'Ship deconstruction' or 'Stringstabber'

And than there is Richie
Cunningham, the cream of british lo-fi. The sound
just like the mountain goats. (and that's a compliment).
Their last release was their part in the 'soup
versus potatoes' series, together with the already
mentioned Pernath. Before that, they released piles of tapes
on Kaw records.

The
cocker Spaniels, a one-man band from Waco. this
eighteen year old guy is as good as Jason Loewenstein, Robert
Pollard and Ellioth Smith at their best, but all at the
same time. 'Land of a thousand smiles' is the perfect illustration.
You should have had his latest CD 'little white truths'
at home already.

Elo vs.
Saturn are best known for their concert
at the dour festival in 1999. Mogwai cancelled that weekend,
but they managed to fill up the gap. Although they
were not foreseen as a replacement act. this is the first
thing they release. And this is enough to make the compilation
a true collector's item. e-mail
Toss
recorded their debut album back in 1998. It was released
on [K-RAA-K]³
'One bit' is a track, exclusive to this compilation. It
is a more agressive drone then we're used to from toss (maybe
due to Anto-on), but it has the same quality-level.

Zod are two neighbourhood-terrorizing musicians.
One Drumkit, one bass, and sometimes vocals and keyboards:
that's all they need. Comparing them to godheadSilo would
be just too easy. They are not that one-dimensional. Zod
has a sort of minimal touch in their sound. And that's what
makes it so great.
