various artists - "NOIZE volume 1" (1994 this prophecy/tooth&nail)

i was quite lucky to come by a copy of this. it is unbelievably rare.
it was stupid hard to find shortly after it was released.
came in a heavy cardboard printed sleeve with a gold and black spraypainted cd.
some of these tracks are exclusive to this compilation, others are alternate mixes or tracks currently unavailable.
a strange mix of artists from various labels and genres, but overall its pretty gravy.

Morella's Forest - "Hang Out" + "Super Deluxe" (1995 tooth & nail records)

female fronted noise pop. noisier=pasty white, curl, art of love 

                                              poppier=puppy luv, hang out, voices carry

a good balance with a dose of slow melancholic tunes as well(oceania).

most of the guitars are drenched in distortion and feedback, put to good use side by side with melody.

for fans of mazzy star, starflyer 59, my bloody valentine, etc.

Bon Voyage - "bon voyage" (1998 BEC recordings)

this is ALMOST a starflyer 59
release as all of the songs were written by jason martin, who also played on the album. The vocals on the album were performed by his wife, julie, which adds a whole new dimension to things. if you like starflyer of any era, this should sound pretty sweet to your ears.
once again, this is a short one, a little too short if you ask me.

CD insert is somewhat unique. The front cover has two horizontal flaps folding at the top and bottom which envelope three loose insert cards containing photos and lyrics.

1 Honeymoon (3:23)
2 Kiss My Lips (5:02)
3 West Coast Friendship (3:46)
4 Why Can't You Be (2:50)
5 You're Wonderful (4:05)
6 You Got It, I Want It (2:38)
7 I Just Wanna (Be With You) (2:50)
8 We Know How You Feel (3:13)
9 Together (1:28)
10 No Paradise (3:15)

Luxury - "Amazing and Thank You" (1995 tooth & nail)

their first full length properly released.

AMAZING luxury AND THANK YOU for the super sweet tunes + lyrics + tone + mood

i have 3 of their 4 albums as LUXURY and  while they are all well awesome, i still would probably put this at the top of my list.  "solid gold" is absolutely incredible, though its unfair to single out just one or 3 tracks...its mostly all just...pure gold.  Gold jerry, gold!

this should be a part of every collection...

1.pink revenge

2.south

3.champagne

4.bitter, once again

5.vanity

6.flaming youth flames on

7.the luxury theme
