Reception

[edit]

Snippets of the review from "The Offense Newsletter": [4]

  • The Buckthrusters: "lots of synths plus accordian, guitar, bass and drums, and these guys really had a good thing going (gone now)"
  • The New Wave Brothers: "a rap, a nap and a pile of crap"
  • Color Entertainment: "as dull for me as it was for the live audience assembled"
  • Monte Montclaire: "an overweight conceptualist who taped his voice and added echo"
  • C. Lucas Experience: "an underweight conceptualist obsessed with going either deaf or blind"

Lawrence, Kansas, has been a hotbed of alternative music for several years, thanks principally to the indefatigable Bill Rich, who runs the hardy, little Fresh Sounds label there. As far back as 1981, Rich was issuing the first pressings by the Lawrence bands Get Smart! and the Embarrassment, both of whom went on to underground-cult fame. More recently, Rich, the University of Kansas radio station KJHK and Redline Productions (a local concert promoter) issued a sampler album entitled Fresh Sounds from Middle America #3 (#1 and #2 were cassette only releases put out by Rich in 1981). Of the sixteen bands featured on the LP, twelve are from Lawrence or nearby Topeka. {{cite news}}: Check date values in: |date= (help)
