... which is Spanish for "The Guapo"

Apparently, the El Guapo Comp was a real pain in the ass to assemble and release, and well, it was only slightly easier to rip it! Regardless of these ripping complications (read more below), I felt that this comp was such a classic (for me at least) that I simply must post it. Being an early 625 "Productions" release, the conclusion seems foregone that several, if not all the post-Plutocracy bands will be represented (Spazz, No Less...). The line-up in general is...
intimidating! Many of the who's who of mid-nineties "powerviolence" are in attendance, at varying levels of quality. I've spun this thing so many times since its release, a note on the sound quality may be in order.

Disclaimers: First of all, according to Hirax Max, pressing number one had shitty mastering (my copy-- pressing number one). Second, I was not always as near-retentive as I am now regarding my records. This one has been a casualty of neglect and it shows in the fuzz and crackle; not to mention the giant scratch which makes the first three tracks a little hard to listen to, and which led me to delete one between-song audio sample (many apologies). For the most part, though, this is one hell of a noisy comp, and sound quality isn't a huge factor. The final issue is the track tagging. The band SBC supposedly has five tracks, but it wasn't clear how they are divided. I decided just to combine them into one giant track. With regard to No Less's track, I had to guess at the title. And finally, for the track that appears between Pisspoor's and Ansojuan's, I just assumed (perhaps wrongly) that it was an unlisted Pisspoor track and tagged it as such. There's always a glimmer of hope that someone out there is more astute than me at this (comments are more than welcome).

So here it is... around 40 headache-inducers conveniently assembled for your listening joy/agony/hilarity.

GOB Is My Co-pilot

The cover of the "Autopsy Mayhem: Hard Sound Part One" comp. is so butt-ugly (and damaged in addition) that I decided just to post a photo of GOB from the insert. This is a mainly grind/sludge comp with several household names and a few one-hit wonders. The CD is billed as a "Trainwreck Complication" because the tracks were recorded at Trainwreck Studios, and I guess we can assume that's the label's name as well. There are eleven bands and ten tracks (wait, how is that possible?), and they all come from the brutal side of the tracks. Heavy stuff!

Bands:

1. GOB
2. Noothgrush
3. Bros. Jibb
4. Jenny Piccolo
5. Billy Clyde
6. Shedwellaz
7. Agents of Satan
8. Benumb
9. deadbodieseverywhere
10. Utter Bastard
11. Makara
