The death of Steve Albini had an awful lot of folks in the mainstream revisiting the period around his recording of "In Utero". I appreciate it, because it digs up his old quotes about Urge Overkill, and brings attntion to the Jesus Lizard. That ain't a terrible thing.
This is definitely one of my favorite Mojo comps; the sort that makes me wonder why I haven't resubscribed. Sure, I already own everything here worth owning, But the curation, which I assume was conducted by Mojo editor Phil Alexander, is top notch and covers a wider-than-average swath of the American pre-grunge underground. Alice Donut, Pavement, the Gits, and Jawbox? All together on the same CD? Pretty nice work, gang.
