James Joyce carries with him a mysterious and terrible sway over my psyche, and his biddings are my only will. If he requests more Bastro, I have but no other recourse than to immediately post more Bastro. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven!
So here you are, the first Bastro release, an ep recorded as a duo, utilizing the teutonic services of a drum machine (oh, by the way, Big Black called...) and practicing the ebb and flow of early math rock. Like I said in the previous post, this band started out much more raw, aggresive, and clearly in awe of Big Black.
Back to James Joyce for a moment. If you have any interest in the history of contemporary music in Atlanta (i.e. late 80's and forward) check out his blog, chances are there are some bands on there that you either new from a house show in your old college town, or had no idea were from Atlanta.

take those blinders off!
i mean yes...it was funny at the grocery store...
but there's a time and a place!
that´s what i´m talking about!
thanks, guys

I have no idea about the grocery store reference.
the "look over to the right" comment was made in reference to the fact that i'd already added a link to said blog mentioned at the end of this post
as for the grocery store reference...you had to be there maaaaaan...and fortunately enough...that bag bag boy was
Any chance of a re-up of this? I only have a crappy cassette copy of this. Thanks!
C'est 1988 et non 1998, comme vous l'avez indiqué, pour cet excellent disque.
Bonne continuation !
