A innovative compilation that's rooted from an innovated fanzine. Tape Op's journalistic intentions was to cover music outside of the mainstream circle. And what better way to further these intentions by releasing a compilation of bands that Tape Op has featured? The result is a handful resourceful indie rock that stretches from Beatles-inspired Brit-pop (Papas Fritas, Bill Fox, Apples in Stereo, Luxurious You) to disco-flavored catchiness (Witch Hazel Sound) to surf (Man or Astroman?) and even bluegrass (The Moonlighters). A Compact Disc of Creative Music Recordings is a handy collection of lo-fi pop that could give anyone street credibility by knowing obscure bands. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide
