Michigan Meltdown

While volume one of this series was highly acclaimed bytastemakers the likes of Julian Cope and the audio aesthetesat WFMU, volume two manages to ratchet up theintensity. More weirdos. More outcasts. More dudeswho did not smell good. Meltdown chronicles the darkerside of the post-garage and pre-punk era ('68-'75) inthe Great Lakes state. An overabundance of fuzz guitar,primitive riffing and overall outré vibes permeate thiscollection of nobodies, malcontents and general blacksheep of society. No doubt you've NEVER heard any ofthe groups here, but if songs about space flight, mentalhealth problems, substance abuse or having absolutelyno money are your thing, there's plenty to sink yourteeth into here. All songs are previously uncompiled andmastered directly from the original 45's (NO MP3's!)coupled with full-color label scans and insightful,hysterical liner notes.
