VA Matter Dominates Spirit

Matter Dominates Spirit (A Tribute To Jim Shepard)

CD 1 - Valis

CD 2 - Modesto

CD 3 - V-3 Live

CD 4 - Pure Ether

CD 5 - Additional Wreckage

CD 6 - Perimeter

"This is the extended version of the Jim Shepard tribute LP that was released in 2001 on Meta Records. It contains a lot of covers of Shepard's work... but more importantly, CD 6 (Perimeter) contains the recordings that was supposed to be the material for his next album (the one after the motorcycle movie)."

Huge thanks to the original uploader. 

Tommy Jay & Mike Rep


The Grim-O Comix Sequence (1974-75)

"The Grim-O Comix Sequence was a cycle of songs recorded over the course of the summer/fall after Tommy Jay and Mike Rep graduated from high school. It is intended to be some sort of never meant to be released folk rock opera, touching on all the concerns of the day - frustration of minimum wage work, unrequited love, insignificance, and hopelessness - which incredibly remained wholly unreleased and under tight lock and key for all of these years. Listening to these recordings, you can hear them experimenting with recording and songwriting techniques that would end up being staples of their respective musical identities...  Like everything everybody does in high school, this recording isn't without its cringe-worthy moments, but it's great to hear the beginnings of two burgeoning songwriter/ producers with talents beyond their years."  - Columbus Discount
