God's Chosen People

Finally got a replacement copy of this slab o' vinyl after many years. Now re-upped & ready to rock ya. 11/25/2023 

Nathan Nothin' here! I know it's been a while but springtime is upon us.

This is my busiest time of year, time to get the crops planted.

A farmer can't sit in front of a computer & expect the fields to till themselves.

Working with growing plants in the earth's rich soil makes a man think about a higher power, so here's one for Old Glory...

Old Glory Records was responsible for a lot of great music by all your heroes: Assfactor 4, In/Humanity, Avail, Policy Of Three, Iconoclast or even Funeral Diner (ex-Portraits Of Past) later.

Old Glory has since gone under.

This is a really great comp. with all 12 tracks strong & rewarding. There is good variety in the styles but also contextual consistency to all the tracks that make the whole cohesive.

Here we have some of the early 90s legends (Born Against, Merel, Native Nod, Avail & Rorschach) together with some bands who never got much attention (Groove, Shadowman or Greyhouse).

Various - God' s Chosen People compilation, Old Glory Records NGR - 4, 1993.

Side 1:
Avail - Sidewalk
Merel - Newfound Snide Remark
Elizabeth Herz - Easter Island
Askance - The Living
Puzzlehead - Degenerated
Native Nod - Back to Mimsy

Side 2:
Rorschach - 21st Century Schizoid Man
Groove - Extension
Shadowman - Written Undefined
Iconoclast - Eleventh Hour
Greyhouse - Ever-Nearing Joy
Born Against - Lillian

Rorschach delivers a great version of the King Crimson classic. Native Nod (pre-Van Pelt, The Lapse, Ted Leo...) reveal their inherent potential. & Born Against whip up another of their classics. But my favorite track is Elizabeth Herz "Easter Island". Include now are all the band inserts.

Listen & decide for yourself, but I'm sure you'll all...

Enjoy,
