The final classic album from the B.A.L.L. vaults: Fleming, Kramer and Rummager spend 10 days on tour in the UK, and here lie the results.

SFTRI 297-1 10" $7.25
If you took the Clash and put them in a room with the Beach Boys, kicked out head-Republican Mike Love, recruited Alex Chilton and Nick Drake and put J.

WOE 32-7 7" $3.80
The ex-keyboardist for Psychedelic Furs (and veteran of session work for the Ramones, Deborah Harry, etc.) turns out a piano & string section tune on side 1 that sounds like one of those mid-70's Carole King numbers gone wacky.

BALLGAGGER
"Ache"
T 59-1 LP $7.70
T 59-2 CD $9.70
These L.A. girls rock hard and noisy, but in a very stripped-down, clean cut, Beat Happening sort of way, although with a fury and gut-spilling outrage that the Olympia bong-huffers were never able to manage. The duelling vocalists are especially outstanding, along with the dynamic-but-minimalist instrumentals. (THEOLOGIAN)

BAMA & THE FAMILY
"Don't Think...Do"/"Get Up in Your Hot Pants"
SF 009-7 7" $4.80
Two groovin' instrumentals that fuse FELA KUTI-style Afro-beat with rough, heavy, JAMES BROWN-derived funk (yes, side 2 is a JB cover!). Tasty all the way through! (SOUL FIRE)

SFTRI 569-1 LP $8.25
SFTRI 569-2 CD $9.65
From Japan comes a mix of RAMONES and the female pop singers like ANNETTE and JACKIE DE SHANNON of the early '60s. The singer has a pretty dizzy musical sensibility with a unique high-pitched delivery that works in perfect contrast to her band's no-frills '77 style buzzsaw punk assault. There is nothing earth-shattering here. Instead, they boldly cover familiar territory, but they've added their own fascinating twist. (SYMPATHY FOR THE RECORD INDUSTRY)

SFTRI 571-7 7" $4.00
A fun, fast, and furious taste of the upcoming album from Japan's ultra cool girl group. PHIL SPECTOR-era RAMONES bop graciously infused with a dizzy/quirky female vocal that is pure bliss. Limited to 1000 colored vinyl copies. (SYMPATHY FOR THE RECORD INDUSTRY)

BANTAM ROOSTER
"Deal Me In"
CRYPT 077-1 LP $8.85
CRYPT 077-2 CD $10.20
Yet another minimalist crew with maximum outburst! Hooking up in 1994 after the split-up of Potter's Kill Devil Hill and the down-time of Cook's Gravitar in order to unleash a rather intense, hillbilly-blues-infused rock'n'roll squall. Results are a beefy stew comprised of the ribcage of Pussy Galore, the rump flank of Thee Mighty Caesars, the elbow of les freres Gibson and perhaps the pelvic bone of Jerry Lee. Recorded in Detroit at the mighty ace Ghetto Studios a former fried chicken processing plant: hence a natch for Bantam ROOSTER! Their debut 18-song LP. (CRYPT)

BANTAM ROOSTER

CRYPT 071-7 7" $3.80
This swank little 7" consists of two mighty fine tunes; "Miss Luxury" cops heavily from Michigan forefathers' "1969" as driven thru Mr. Childish's AC30. "Real Live Wire" is a slinky, sexy, struttin' plea of lust. (CRYPT)

BANTAM ROOSTER
"The Cross and the Switchblade"

DEPTH 2-2 CD $9.50
Oakland hardcore band whose popularity is on the rise due to constant performances, this trio brings the house down with their blinding speed and tightness, powerful metalchunk breaks, and unbelievable energy. Lyrics about pathetic self-hatred and beer are sung, ironically, with spot-on confidence, urgency, and wit. Crystal-clear, overwhelming sound. Not bad, really, for a bunch of drunks! (DILL)

DUM 001-2 CD $8.90
The debut CD from this LA band has the pop sensibilities of GREEN DAY's first record, crossed with the goofiness of F.Y.P. Fast punk where the hooks and harmonies abound, but they don't take themselves overly seriously, so as to sound whiny or arrogant. (DUMMYUP)

What's with the connection between punk rock and baseball? The Baseball Furies toss up "Coney Island" which sounds kinda like Circle Jerks/Supersuckers, "Fuckin' Jim" which moves them into a Dead Boys feel on the A side, and "Carshouter" and "Teenage Love Dolls" on the B side serving up more of the same. (BIG NECKS)

Starting off a bit like a brawl in an accordian factory, this highly expressive 1981 musique concrete then moves into very quiet, naturalistic bell-like sounds, and then back to the scuffle, with much very sonorous huffing, puffing, crashes and thunks, and ending with a brief return of the chimes.

BILL HORIST
"Soylent Radio"
TUC 045-2 CD $9.15
Says improvised guitar solos and duets, but heck you'd never guess from the way it sounds: Amazing, off-the-wall electronic sound contructions unlike anything you've ever heard. HORIST, who has done soundtrack work for PBS, has a great talent for creating beautiful, subtle, and startlingly fresh textures, and keeping things going along at a consistently engaging pace. None of the dreamy, delicate, carillon-like "prepared guitar" effects or apocalyptic dissonant noisescapes used seems remotely recognizable, not even to fans of FRED FRITH, HANS REICHEL, or KEITH ROWE, the three guitar players that bear any relationship to his original voice. Features guests RICH HINKLIN, EVELINE MULLER, and TROY SWANSON. (UNIT CIRCLE)

BILLY LEE RILEY
"Red Hot"
AVI 5007-2 CD $11.45

BILLY NAYER SHOW, THE
"The Villain That Love Built"
BNS 05-2 CD $10.10

It is no simple task to sum up THE BILLY NAYER SHOW, but words like frightening, commanding, theatrical and fascinating come to mind.
