zaclang I got this CD almost 20 years ago - I moved several times and it got lost somewhere, but I had ripped it onto 192kbs MP3s so I never lost the music totally - and now I have finally upgraded to something near to (the lost) CD quality. Anyway - over the years I grew to love this album: very catchy & sometimes powerful indie rock - one of those instances where the obscurity of an album was undeserved. A real gem Favorite track: Bakery.

Beef Jerky on rye, hold the mayo Beef Jerky on rye that's the way we go I wanna another meat pie and fries to go With beef they raise on wheat they graze Never stopping to think when there reaching for another drink Salvation of a nation you can stop Oh man I don't think I just wanna go shop But the shop is shutting down uncle Sam has left town Left the world to see mid America will bleed Until it starts bleeding and bleeding fucking bad Only then they'll see that their greed was fucking mad Screwing the world for the one last time Beef jerky on rye you know the next fucking line Beef Jerky Beef Jerky on rye, hold the mayo

You shouldn't push me to far You shouldn't sit on my face I'm gonna cleanse the world I'm gonna get on the case Joe at the bar Joe at the bar's been drinking And he's been thinking hard Rage on..... Bogan Have you seen my car It's a shiny V8 It's got twin carby double overhead zuper wafers And a girl called Sharon's my date Joe at the bar Joe at the bar's been drinking And he's been thinking hard Rage on..... Bogan This is the story of Mountain Rock Bogan mate do ya masturbate Are you so fucking easy to intimidate Maybe I should inseminate your brain I doubt it You'll go back to your bitches and your beer Where you'll prove to them that your no fucking queer Under that jersey of black There's a neck that's angry red Rage on..... Bogan

about

This album came about when Jon Toogood from Shihad and Nigel Regan of Head Liike a Hole started messing around with a 4-track jon had just bought. Songs started appearing like the haunting Mixdown and from there Tom Larkin (also from Shighad) was roped in and it was decided that they would go into the studio and record a few tracks with Brent McLachlan (of Bailter Space fame) in Bailter Space's recording studio in Martin Square in Wellington. Then some other tracks were recorded while al this time there was no intention of releasing any of it.
While both bands were touring Europe in the mid 90's Murray Cammick the label owner of Wildside got in touch and asked about the possibility of releasing it. So some pens and paper were handed to booga beazley and within an hour or two he had whipped up the artwork which was sent to Murray and there you have it. 'Is that it? by the SML. That was in fact it apart from one EP released before the album. It's a fantastic album with a mixture of lo-fi and hi-fi and you can hear the band having fun as in the song 'Mixdown' where you hear Jon laugh as he realises the lyrics are working which were being read of the Instruction manual for the 4-track. The instructions for Mixdown of course....
