Records shows no limits in what they release. This compilation, their
Fall 2001 sampler, has a little bit of everything on it - from
experimental sound to lo-fi pop to ambient glitch to electro pop - and
that's just within the first five songs.
Great lo-fi pop songs are contributed by Charles Fyant, Linus, and
the Breezeway. Charles Fyant's "Indian Lover" is a
particularly excellent song; Fyant wouldn't sound at all out of place
on the datawaslost roster. There are also tip top contributions by
Italy's LAM and North Carolina's Jon Thompson Orchestra, the latter of
which sounds a bit like a lo-fi Radiohead. The rest of the compilation
is also excellent. In fact, there's even an excerpt from MWF's
wonderful epic, "Monster Karaoke." There's something for
(almost) everyone here, providing you don't mind the homemade approach
to it all.
