Well it's missing a lot of good stuff but I don't like to make these comps too long. 14 or 15 songs is pretty good lenght usually.

One side is really really good while the flip is so so (as with many French singles!). Although I've come to love these obscure bands who only released a single and disappeared, my personal faves remain Blaspheme, early H-Bomb, early Sortilege and Warning. IMHO, 2nd Warning is unbeatable 8)

I luw'd the CAPHARNUM single as well. On the full-lenght format they proved to be somewhat disappointing though...

Well, the main reason is I love French rock a hell lot (be it metal, psychedelic, seventies, prog, punk, experimental...). Bands like Capharneum who dont fall into the typical hard rock/metal category and have occasionaly some more 'rocking' overtones are great to my ears :wink:

I think Hustler's LP is awful, one of the worst LP ever came out in France. Anyway, you'll probably find someone who love it, it's all matter of taste :lol:

Hi LaGouille, for those who don't know he's the guy who released that fabulous Soggy LP last year.
