Here's a pick from my record label days, pretty early on.  If you want a CD contact db@candlesnuffer.org or me. If anyone from the band objects to this being here I'll take it off right away.  Dumb & the Ugly consisted of Dave Brown (bass guitar), Michael Sheridan (guitar) and John Murphy (drums). I'll put another track up soon.  Dr Jim's Records existed from 1990 -2006, had 36 releases.  Website is still up as a form of archive at www.drjimsrecords.com.au

Dumb & the Ugly - Lazy Eight from "Atmospheres of Metal" CD

Sci-Fi Lo-Fi reflected a lot of the sound that I grew up with thanks to my Dad's "good taste" in music. This compilation was also the first time I'd really heard electronica sit side by side with the raw sounds of rockabilly and garage, at least on CD. I enjoyed a lot of electronic music that took inspiration from those styles of the 60's and 70's, and other Lo-Fi sounds, but never in such an uncut way. He seamlessly glued it all together with the addition of his own productions and remixes.

This is my tribute, and thanks, to Andrew Weatherall for completely ignoring any sense of barrier.
