Comments:
Quite a mixed collection of sounds. Unfortunately, no real surprises for me—my strong favourites here are the expected ones: Kirsty Thirsk, Twilight Babies, Daughter Darling, and Trespassers William. This is a good sampler if you're curious about the listed artists, less valuable if you're familiar with several. However, the artists are obscure enough that most of them here will be new even to ectophiles. (sophiagurley@hotmail.com)Thanks to Sophia Gurley for work on this entry.
