Infra Dig
(Rotary Totem) Used LP $30.00
Admired by All Music Guide for its “elements of contemporary classical music, Canterbury progressive rock chops, and a Rock-In-Opposition-like propensity for deconstruction and song pollution. Highlights include the strange and groovy ‘Aunt Iodine’ (with lyrics taken from Luigi Futi), the patchwork manifesto ‘The Totem Motorist,’ and a very personal interpretation of the ’60s pop hit ‘Get Angry,’ the band’s most advanced foray into pop territory.” From 1984.

(Rotary Totem) Used LP $25.00 (Out-of-stock)
A completely essential compendium of 1980s L.A. underground music. “The California Outside Music Association represents a somewhat more art-rock oriented orbit (often with distinct R.I.O. affiliations) than Los Angeles Free Music Society’s more anarchic and crude attitude / approach,” notes Mutant Sounds. “There’s … extraordinary work at hand here, from the The Motor Totemist Guild’s archly fey and lopsided gem ‘Farmer Without Strings’ to the plangent garage prog fury of The Underpeople’s ferocious ‘Zontar: The Thing From Venus’, the devastating R.I.O. angularity of 5uu’s contribution, and Dogma Probe’s late-Fibonnaccis-like ‘Thirteen’ to the single finest tracks that either Cartoon or Newcross would ever commit to tape.” From 1985.
