Respected U.S. indie Slumberland releases this 18-song overview of Summershine, which could be loosly described as Australia's answer to Sarah or K, only better than either, with a host of tasty 7"s. These nine bands tend to the winsome, fresh-faced side, but with a competence and confidence rarely shown by their U.S./U.K. counterparts. Tender Engines and Earthmen are enormously entertaining. Will the world listen? Also here: Sugargliders, Autohaze, Blindside, Rainyard, Jupiter, Ripe, and Afterglow. ~ Jack Rabid, All Music Guide
V**E
For once, a consistently great comp!
This ia great compilation of jangly guitar pop from the 1990's. It is very consistent throughout 18 tunes. It sent me off in search of other albums by these largely unheard of artists. For me the best are the Sugargliders and Tender Engines, both of which cannot be found in print anywhere else, as far as I can tell. After picking up a few of the artists' individual cds, none of them are as good as this compilation, so rest assured this is the cream of the crop!
