The Electronic Anthology Project

The Electronic Anthology Project EP

This is Doug Martsch and Brett Nelson from Built To Spill doing 80's synth pop versions of BTS songs, and it fucking kills. This is like all the totally rad remix EP's you've heard but ten times better because they are Built To Spill songs. These aren't remixes they are totally new recordings (vocals and all). One song from each of their seven studio albums gets the synth treatment here. Party time.

State Of Confusion - A Street

State Of Confusion - A Street

State Of Confusion were a hardcore band from Boise, Idaho active during the late 80's. A Street is their only full-length album, recorded in 1987 and released in 1988. I picked this record up at Hits And Misses in Toronto for only $6 and it is a total rager. The band is more famous for adding Doug Martsch on guitar and changing their name to Treepeople than for the music on this album, which is a shame. If you like Mystic Records-era RKL and Agression then you'll love these jams.
