Ever since forming in the mid-'90s, All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors have been constantly compared to such spacy alt-rockers as My Bloody Valentine, Radiohead, and Stereolab. But unlike the aforementioned outfits, A.N.L. & L.F. hail from New Jersey of all places, and not England. The group issued their self-titled debut release in 1996, resulting in a recording contract with Gern Blandsten Records shortly thereafter, and followed by such further releases as 1998's Turning into Small and 2000's Straight Blue Line. The same year as their third release, a re-release of their debut hit the racks, with several added previously unreleased tracks. ~ Greg Prato
