Very much in the shadow of the Rough Trade indiepop comp. This one's got a few tracks the Rough Trade should have had, like Velocity Girl and E102. But it also repeats six tracks from that comp, including the worst one in PWEI's Blackcountry etc.
They missed a trick not putting the JAMC's version of Vegetable Man on there.
