An understated whopper of an album is what we've got here. 27 songs by over a dozen artists and groups working out of Canada circa the late 1990s, and centering around the great Royal Art Lodge. Compiled by Michael Dumontier {Eyeball Hurt & the Medicine) from a tape he sent us back in the day, with a few other additions, this slab o' wax captures a miraculous period not only in musical exploration and song creation, but accurately sums up what it's like to work on such endeavors in the comfort of your own homes when no one else is around. Great vibe throughout both sides.
Features pieces by Eyeball Hurt & The Medicine, Untanned Hide of a Young Cow, Drue & Myles Langlois, Alien Hybrid, NDF, Rudy Bust, Albatross, Pot Roast, Tom Elliott, Go action with da-da sound, Adrian Shalom Williams, The Garage People and Todd Martin. It's funny, its poignant, its brilliant from start to finish. If you like compilations that come at you from all sides, and find a place of honor in your collection - this is the LP for you.
Edition of 210 copies, screen printed cover, four-page booklet. Not many left. $12 each.
