Even with the machine parts and oil drums, the raw sound sources of Neubauten, the CD-ROM inside, and the hoarse, strained vocals, Babyland isn’t very good.
Eight bands on the Flipside label are recorded live at the company desert party. The bands who held my attention were Babyland, Kryptonite Nixon, Paper Tulips.
Most of the 24 groups featured would definitely qualify as “underground” with the exception of Black Train Jack and Wax, who blend in quite nicely nonetheless.
