"this is a kind of retrospective round-up of spraydog's earlier recordings, laid down in 96-97' as far as you tell from sleeve notes that are sparser than their angular sound, still, it's the noise we signed up for, right? and there are some glorious noises here, "alinear" drives along like the bastard brat of a buzzcock n marco perroni, "some sort of corporate attack" comes over all twee-voiced indie rent-a-rant, but the melody is present n fab and wouldn't it be grand to hear a full production, post-post-post-modern update on this stuff? listening to some of these tunes is like bumping into old mates who you're actually pleased to see. If you have any time at all for the highest quality lo-fi, literate punk n melody melds, you'll grab this one with both ears." -unpeeled
