An exclusive from eat junk towers............. Original Aspect Ratio was released by Elastic Fiction records in 2000 & contains an eclectic mix of bands from the uk d-i-y underground. Specifically based around the city of Portsmouth the scene at the time was healthy and vibrant, mainly thanks to local promoters working at venues such as the horseshoe, docs, the wedgewood rooms and the pyramids. Everything from twisted folk, hook laden summer pop, ska-punk, avant garage,dark techno to psych-pop freak outs can be found here... & includes exclusive tracks from the likes of Thirst, Isla’s Milk, Mac and the awesome 16 Bronson's.
Murmurs of Irma and the opening track by Reinhardt remain my favourite but don't discount any of the other
tracks especially sulphervane and bonemachine.
