Various Artists
Not From Around Here?
Reviewed by Brian Vincent McGovern
I finally got a chance to hear the much talked about band Freeto Boat. Not bad, actually, though the vocals could stand a few more guts. Amid the other tracks on this compilation, like some adequate songs by Shady Blue, etc., are some neat rarities: Left Out came into the studio to record the medley, "Love in the Last Quarter of the 20th Century/Social Studies" (remember Breakfast With Amy?), and a song taken straight from Craig's Brother's 7-inch made it on here: "Dear Charlotte." Also fun were the Starflyer meets Smashing Pumpkins sounds of a band called Till 7 Years Pass Over Him. Not a bad comp, and the price is right. To order, send $8 ($10 overseas) to: 17735 Redwood Dr, Castro Valley CA 94546
