SURGERY/Elf Power
Elf power got started when their household got hold of a 4-track recorder.
With no intention being a "real" band, the housemates collaborated
on late recordings often improvising each take. There isn't a definite group
line-up as such. Anybody can be a part of Elf power at any given time. Even
you! Elf Power has begun to refine crude. The track "Surgery"
which appears on this compilation was plucked from their magnificent third
album, Vainly Cluthing at Phantom Limbs. Taking cues from indie
greats like Sebadoh and Guided by Voices and the 70s rock of T. Rex, Elf
Power will have you begging for more.
Andrew Rieger: vocals; Dave Rothgeber: backing vocals, acoustic guitar.
Engineered and produced by Elf Power

EQYPTIAN CREAM/Terry Marks
Terry's just a kid who really likes RH, especially the Soft Boys. He
plays acoustic guitar. Really acoustic. Doesn't even have proper electric lights
in his room...you know how light bulbs burn out? His have burnt in. They
don't turn off, so he has to unplug them and use acoustic lights. (This is
the truth....)
Egyptian Cream: inspired by Bob Dylan
GLASS HOTEL/Nismo Rebrot

YE SLEEPING KNIGHTS OF JESUS/Kevin Slick
Kevin Slick calls his rendition of "Sleeping Knights of Jesus"
a "fun slamming surf version".

back at you with the B-movie rendition of Balloon Man. You've read the book,
you've seen the movie, now hear the song in glorious Flabo-vision!

WAX DOLL/CYNTHIA MASK (live)/Dolph Chaney
In 1987, at age 14, Dolph Chaney began writing and recording songs in
his Indiana home. He sent a tape of the bizarre, awkward stuff to the
(experi)mental guitarist Eugene Chandbourne, who responded favorably the
following year. 1990 saw him turning from weirdness to grappling with making
Beatle-esque pop with his own sense of absurdity intact. Port Radium was
formed in fall 1994. They were the finest band Dolph has yet had, but they
amicably called it quits in May 1995. Currently, Dolph is moving back to
Indiana, starting grad school at IU, and hoping that his musical gowth
doesn't lose too much momentum...

UNDERWATER MOONLIGHT/The Transparencies
In the early seventies, Daryl, John and Caroline were born in Deep
River, Ontario, Canada. We all ended up in Ottawa. Some of us are students,
some of us are not. Some of us are vegetable men, some of us are rot. We
often return to the forest. We are logistics masters. Our songlist is endlist.
Daryl, guitar, keyboards; John, guitar; Caroline, bass; Dr. Rhythm,
drums;Jupiter, judge, jury, executioner
Everyone sings sometimes. This song is dedicated to Bedhead.
Recorded at Spacecat Studios, Ottawa, 1995
Produced by The Transparencies ("honey, when we get you, there's
just nothing you can do")
SERPENT AT THE GATES OF WISDOM/James Dignan
James Dignan, (5'10") Acoustic, Echoey and Twang Guitars, vocals;
Sam Campbell, Whirly thing
RAILWAY SHOES/Bruce Haemmerle
In 1988, while listening to Element Of Light with a
friend, during the song "The President", my friend said "You could do
that!" I learned the song and something really clicked. I decided to
start a band since I had some originals lying around with a similar
sound, probably because Robyn and I both listen too much Syd Barrett.
HELIOTROPE/Ben Parke
I USED TO SAY I LOVE YOU/Nismo S. Rebrot
"Bayard persuaded me to cover 'I Used To Say I Love You,'"
Nismo says. "Thanks." His partner in this song, Rawdoh T. Whirg,
adds, "Has this got sugar in it?" Getting serious for the moment,
Nismo says, "I tired to make 'I Used To Say I Love You' as good as
the original. [It] demanded vocals, but to avoid the foamy muzzled pack,
they were sung by Rawdoh T. Whirg. Thanks Rawdoh." "Don't mention
it," Rawdo says. "Shit," Nismo says, "too
late."
