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.

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)
