V/A - Cinco Anos

Label: Trance Syndicate
Year: 1995

One can only assume that this Trance Syndicate compilation was the celebration of five years in the "music business" for the label, but it was also a benefit for a nonprofit in Austin, Texas. But more importantly, it's a benefit for you, the listener who get a survey of mid-period (no menstruation jokes please) Trance Syndicate in all their glory. From pretty post rock to catchy grunge to shoegazer to devastating noise rock to sun baked Texas oddity. Twas a great label at a great time in music, so this be a grand ole collection of sounds.
