Reviews: This compilation from Tucson is an admirable effort. The tape features good production and wide variety of bands. There are punk bands like Conflict, who have a strong thrash attack, and the Urban Guerrillas, who have a garage tinge like the Church Police--grinding, profound, and original. The defunct Seldoms do a Jad Fair imitation, Green on Red have a live track that's not as good as the stuff on their 12", and the Phantom Limbs have a track that sounds like Jello Biafra playing with the Panther Burns. There's other pop, electronic, and psychedelic cuts that have a certain spark. Something for everybody, and a chronicle of Arizona's musical history in one package. Let's have some more, Lee. -Ruth Schwartz (from Maximum Rock'n'Roll #4, January/February 1983)
