Those Were Different Times: Cleveland 1972-1976
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Cleveland's role in the history of punk (and by extension, alternative rock) was well-documented in Clinton Heylin's book, From the Velvets to the Voidoids: A Pre-Punk History for A Post-Punk World. The city's most famous exports, of course, were Pere Ubu and the Dead Boys. Less well known but equally inspirational was a circle of friends from Columbus who played in a variety of very different but equally weird bands, including Mirrors, the Electric Eels, and the Styrenes. This compilation rounds up 29 tracks recorded by these groups from 1972 to 1976, most of which display a fascination with Velvet Underground-styled rock & roll and industrial noise making. Echoes can be heard in everyone from Jon Spencer to Sonic Youth; just check out "Annie" by Mirrors. And the liner notes are as good as the music. --Jim Derogatis
