Various Artists

Mesomorph Enduros
Big Cat Records



A slice o' time compiled by Jim (Foetus) Thirwell.
15 very noisy (or otherwise deviant) bands show the more abrasive side to early nineties rock, just to show it's not all about flannel, stagediving and soul-patches. This comp really defines the AmRep/Matador/Touch & Go aesthetic of that era as well, as typified by Jesus Lizard's Stub, Of Cabbaages & King's horrific The Reign and Tad's Pig Iron. This is a dank, noisy trip to the gutter all round. Many of these tracks appear elsewhere, but it's a great standalone sampler of Mr. Foetus's favorite (circa 1992) noise mongers that went straight to the cutout bins and shortly disappeared forever.

2. Melvins - Vile
3. Jesus Lizard - Nub

No, Sadly I don't.
I used to own a lot of compilations on vinyl, but parted with many of them before the advent of digital archiving.
One I wished I held on to was Communicate: Live at the Thames Poly, which had a very early Sonic Youth performance, some Conflict, Marc Riley and the Creepers and tons of others.
