II is a staggering work of genius, no folling.

Surviving You Always is MIA
That's because it was never digitised; it was never released on CD, either.
do they have the dicks' sst album up on there?
I've heard it's getting reissued on Alternative Tentacles in a few weeks - from a clean vinyl copy, since the master tapes are gone - so you might be in luck then.
That Stains album, too, will probably never see the light of day. From what I've read it was deleted months after its release in 1983. Anyone here read Razorcake? They had a feature on the Stains spread over two issues recently; I don't have them myself so I can't vouch for it.

ha me too, was about to write something snotty about how any label would be lucky to have that many great bands over the course of a decade.

lol, sorry, they're all great! but so are the leaving trains, meat pups, opal, etc. figure they're probably going in stages, according to demand.

which Saccharine Trust album should I listen to first?
― good luck in your pyramid (Neil S), Monday, 23 April 2012 10:16 (1 year ago) Permalink
They're a band of two halves - the first two (PaganIcons, Surviving You Always) are arty hardcore, the latter with a different and jazzier rhythm section. It's my favourite. The later ones (Worldbroken, We Became Snakes) are more jazz fusion style, the former being an improv live album. Still good (and a precursor to Universal Congress Of) but a different beast.

Am giving We Became Snakes a go, it's pretty unlike most other SST stuff I've heard, with the possible exception of the jazzier end of the Minutemen.

Not surprising, since Mike Watt produced that one!

A Human Certainty from Paganicons is the obvious 'hit', i reckon. great guitar sounds.

Saccharine Trust's "Surviving You Always" is the great lost SST record, lost becuz as noted above it never was issued on cd and the label let it go out of print. The smartest decision I ever made was when I bought the whole ST collection sight-unheard in one fell swoope from my local record store. If you can find it, listen to this one first.
They are probably my favorite SST band and that's saying something. I love all four (and the live reocrd) for different reasons. Still at too, the album from 2001, "The Great One is Dead" is awesome and equally the level of their other records.
