...cats remembrrin' th' paisley underground scam from th' eighties might also remember scratchin' th' noggin' 'n wonderin' what was up with all that limpoh plastic that came floodin' out to obscure a cats thinkin'...th' combos that flew with that hyped nonsense was some o' th' most vacuous that ever existed 'n brother thats a fact that cant be denied...if'n any o' em got more than one halfway decent wax out it was some kinda miracle 'n more than likely a trick o' th' light...but as luck 'n geography would show on th'periphery o' that woebegotten movement was a few aggros that could see what time it was 'n this here combo in question managed to put out some chipper screech 'n pound over a few years 'n live they smoked a doobsworth 'n put up a nice stoned atonal feedback racket o' th' first order 'n what this live double coaster happens to be is proof o' that statement...good overview o' their output 'n some choice covers that show they knew a thing or two...this gig proved to be their last 'n goin' out on a high shows good sense...

Hold on a goddamn minute there, spacedsaviour! I recomember like it wus yestiddy that I first heard the strains of the Three O'Clock, Rain Parade, The Bangles (yes, the Bangles ... wanna make something of it?), Green On Red, and a few other fine combos back then, and it was like AIR. There was NOTHING happening back then, and it seemed like everyone had even forgotten how to spell pyscohdelec, let alone play it. I still get a blast from those bands, and the best of it is right up there with the stuff from the 'sixties.

You'd probably enjoy the Rain Parade's "Demolition" album - it's dark and doomy, almost grindcore ...
