This cd compilation was put together by my old
PV band mates Mitch and Clara back in 1998. I really like a lot of the music on here and since it is essentially out of print I figure I would turn on some of you to it's goodness.

DOWNLOADREVIEWSMitchell Foy and Clara Clamp (Pineal Ventana) use their Atlanta-based SCUSS Media to promote varied and challenging experimentation on their compilation. The limited edition of 500 copies comes in a hand-printed and assembled tar paper cover. 26 projects are presented from Georgia, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Boston, Michigan, West Virginia, and North Carolina. Some are recognized and important rock-based, boundary challengers like God Is My Co-Pilot, William Carlos Williams, Morsel, and Pineal Ventana. As for God Is My Co-Pilot, there is another interesting project here of dulcet female vocals over jerky guitar and bass rhythms, New Jersey's Suran Song in Stage. Some of the bands sound like clever sample manipulators working in their bedroom with four-tracks (Another Dead Sharon and Melted Men for example). Regardless of their notoriety or method, most of these artists give us something oddly delightful, like the inexplicable dervishes of few words, Turkish Delight. Noisy and experimental, clamorous and eclectic, there is a certain similarity here in a cohesive vision of damaged art based on quirky rhythms and dissonant guitars. One also finds that many of the Georgia bands boast similarly styled names: Glenn Lizzy, Medaglia D'oro, Mary Baked Eddie, Bob, and Dan Acaroid Resin Factory. One wonders if this isn't a revolving cast of the Pineal Ventana crowd, la San Fran's similarly cacophonous and moniker-happy Caroliner network. Regardless of any manipulations of personnel, the manipulations presented here from the basic rock combo are generally refreshing and worthwhile. ~

A&A ArchivesA couple of the fine folks from Pineal Ventana put this compilation together. Seventeen of the 26 bands hail from Atlanta or Athens (Ga.), with the rest coming from places east of the Mississippi.
If you know Pineal Ventana, then you might know what to expect here. Plenty of rather unusual (most would use the phrase "fucking weird") music (again, some might disagree with the term "music"). Heinous Bienfang (reviewed earlier in the issue) is here, as is Pineal Ventana, Go Is My Co-Pilot (see?), William Carlos Williams (also reviewed in this issue), Tweezer and one of my favorites, Morsel (from Michigan).
Pretty much indescribable as a whole, but if you're a Skin Graft fan, or otherwise someone who digs the whole noise pop movement (emphasis on noise, probably), well, there's a trove of treasure on this disc.
It may be fucking weird, but others might use the word "brilliant".
