Rocket From The Crypt - (1995) The State Of Art Is On Fire 10''

The State of Art is on Fire is an EP by the punk rock band Rocket from the Crypt. It was released in 1995 on Sympathy for the Record Industry. The album was the band's first release to include trumpet player JC 2000.

The EP was first released in 10" vinyl format in April 1995. The vinyl release is unusual in that side A is played at 33rpm and side B at 45rpm. The CD version, released in November 1996, contains 2 bonus tracks originally released on the vinyl single Rocket from the Crypt Plays the Music Machine. The EP is one of the few Rocket from the Crypt recordings to include a lyrics sheet.

The State of Art is on Fire was the first of three releases by Rocket from the Crypt in 1995. The LP Hot Charity and album Scream, Dracula, Scream! were both also recorded and released that year, and singer/guitarist John Reis would later refer to these three records as a "trilogy".

Slint - (1994) Untitled 10''

Released after the band had already broken up, it includes two songs that were recorded in 1989. It was first intended to be released as a 12" single on Jennifer Hartman Records, as original copies of the Tweez LP included a flyer advertisement for the 12" as an insert. However, Slint signed to Touch & Go Records before it was sent to press and the master tapes were shelved. In 1994, Touch & Go released the EP in 10" and CD formats.[1] It contained a previously unreleased track, "Glenn", and a reinterpretation of "Rhoda" from Tweez.
On the 10" vinyl edition, the sides of the record are labelled with illustrations of a triangle and an octopus, rather than A/B, one/two or track titles.

In the documentary "Breadcrumb Trail", it is stated the songs were recorded before Spiderland by Steve Albini when he had some open studio time and was asking bands around to record, with Slint ultimately taking the studio time.

Fields Of Shit - (1998) ST 10''

13 song debut / last will and testament of this short-lived Bay Area band. Melodic, angry, punked out grooves with political lyrics from dual gendered vocalists. Occasional off-meter beats and quarky riffage. This disk was originally pressed in 1998 and never got repressed due to my limited budget at the time. Now it's back in print! Musically crossed between all the aforementioned bands with little hints of DAMAD or ANTISCHISM."Hate, Love, Fear and Lust mixed between hypnotic rhythms and thick flows, slow beats and near thrash speeds" - the band. Made up of 2 parts FILTH, 1 part TALK IS POISON, 1 part QUEEN MAB, and 1 part Shoshanna. Recorded by Noah Landis (Christ on Parade / Neurosis). Comes complete with 16 page lyric booklet.
