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.
