A Land of Sweeping Sound A compendium of mostly dark pop, with some quite strange stuff mixed in. The sound quality is mixed (as can be expected), but there are some fine moments. The two New Waver tracks are awesome (they play "instrumentals with people talking"; the first is a radio transcript of a St. Kilda-Essendon AFL match, and the second is an odd psychological paper on how people die).
Those in the mood for something aggressive should check out the Scroungers. Other cool bands include Undecisive God and Wank Engine. A lot of cool experimental stuff going on here. - from Aiding & Abetting #79, 1995
