Compiled for Australian release, What Remains Inside a Black Hole pulls together a slew of tracks that originally appeared on singles to give a great portrait of the fearsome foursome from its early-'90s surf rock-in-space heyday. It's as good a starting place for the neophyte as any; while not a greatest-hits per se, it's got enough energy to burn along with plenty of requisite humour. That naturally comes from the song titles first and foremost, thus, "The Universe's Only Intergalactic Radioactive Breakfast Bar," "War of the Satellites," and "Within a Martian Heart." Then there are such things as "Squad Car," arguably the world's only surf salute to policemen, the poignant celebration of a glam rock myth -- sort of -- with "Adios Johnny Bravo," and "Caffeine Trip" -- who needs the terror of Reefer Madness when the dangers of too much coffee are so graphically illustrated?

Anyone wanting a sense of where tremolo mania relocated to in the '90s just needs to give an ear to such wonderful, screaming, release songs as "Eric Estrotica (Live in Space)" (complete with some monster stomp drum breaks) to know that Jimi Hendrix got one thing wrong: the world would hear surf music again. It's just that this time around, there'd be more science fiction B-movie references and samples in the mix to satisfy Ed Wood's fans as much as Dick Dale's (the unaccompanied exchange of dialogue about mutated fish that starts "Surf Terror" in particular is a highlight).

Many tracks -- but not all -- were reissued in America on the Beyond the Black Hole album, but this album is still a worthy purchase: goofy liner notes about "free floating sonic satellites" and "aiming gratitude beams" at worthy folks certainly don't hurt the sense of fun.

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SIX (6) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

---------------------------------------------------

COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion:

While I am happy to combine (for example) one or two 7” singles into one package with 12” records, sometimes it simply isn’t practical (like if you want me to combine one 12” record with three or more 7” records). I simply do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely. Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE, please contact me before bidding!

---------------------------------------------------

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
