Customer Reviews
SPACE ROCK!
If you are a fan of HUM or space rock in general you will friggin' love this. BUY NOW!
Well done!
Excellent tribute album to one of the best bands of the 90s.
some paths are best left uncovered
I think that only The Constants & Junius really nailed their performances on this comp. I have remained a huge Hum fan since accidentally being delivered "You'd Prefer an Astronaut" by a BMG CD distro sometime in the mid 90s, and their music has since rarely left my player. I don't want to insult the other band's efforts, (it's only one man's opinion) but everyone besides the two above mentioned seem to miss the point. I think that I always brushed off the musical influence that Nirvana truly had over Hum and Failure, because I was sick of the 'imitator' label that critics wanted to place on those groups at the time. Truly, I still think that they were/are quite different musical monsters, but now I understand that they were being provided a certain environment by Nirvana's commercial success. One where the over complex, slick produced vocal had no place (ahem), it seemed a pop/metal sort of Creation records-esque stab by way of Steve Albini-ish or Sonic Youthy sound at the time (or like, a heavier, American response to shoegaze), where the ambient & over-driven were at the forefront & the vocals just added as, basically, another drone instrument noise. I think that's where most of this compilation (& the Failure tribute) fail. To any one that truly remembers "space rock" in the 90's, I'd say preview them all before buying, some of these tracks are truly cringe-worthy. Really, what this tribute makes me think about is, that Hum needs to record another album & save rock music.
