Delighted to see some of the Bloomington music scene history documented, complete with downloads, at the Indiana band site Musical Family Tree. My favorite addition is this band, one of the first groups I ever interviewed in person. The music holds up well, particularly the jazzy/surfy instrumentals, although the their hallmark sax solos are notably not the kind of thing in vogue today.

I wrote reviews of this band's late '80s cassettes and I think they even wrote up notes about each track and what it meant to them. Certainly more trouble than most bands take today. Listening to this music brings a number of thoughts to mind, but looking back I am struck by how musically clueless I was for a 20-year-old music writer. I'm sure I committed some howling errors in my time and I'm relieved I didn't commit even more. Whew!
