one of the best of the early synthpop/minimal wave bands Quite like that – especially the John Carpenter / Escape from NY vibe at the beginning. |

hearing these songs live just makes me hate the production of Nervermind that much more That's a pretty good concert to be fair – I saw them at UEA in 85/86 and they were terrible (shit). What is it about Vigs' production you didn't like? overproduced... ... the vocals and guitar are too wet.... for the most part they're clean playing live so why drench them in effects on the recording? overall, it's missing the rawness that made Bleach and Incesticide so great |

Medical Records put out a full length a couple years ago if you liked that one. actually almost everything Medical Records puts out has been great... especially the Chrisma records and the Electroconvulsive Therapy comps (compiled mostly of very early synth pop singles that hadn't been available) www.medical-records.org/about/index.htmlhere's another GCP and one from the first ET comp |

Anyhoo, here's another goodie. I miss Nirvana. |

I think so.... or Jack Endino. the songs are great - but I'd much rather listen to live versions... imagine if the record sounded closer to this? insane. so much better IMO |

I was scared to listen at first but these two were more reasonable than ceremony, still lose to the originals though for me |

just a heads up - for fans of Suicide, Throbbing Gristle, Screamers (early synth-punk, noise, early goth, early electronic) etc etc... if you haven't heard of Xiu Xiu (don't know how popular they are or aren't outside of a small following in the US), check out all their records, in order... I don't think you'll be disappointed i think this one is a good barometer to see if you'll like them or not |
