Some of their first releases arecollected on this 2xCD set, which include 'Tilf,' a 10-song 7" single,recorded three weeks after their first gigs, and the very first releasefor Gramm Records (which later became what the world now knows as BadTaste). Disc one features their second full-length-ish release,'Googooplex' (a 2x12" set which followed their debut album, 'Ekki Enn'which is available separately). The second disc includes all of 'Tilf,'plus the LP, 'Maskína' which features live recordings from their firstgig through their last gig. The last four songs come from the brilliant'No Time to Think' studio EP recorded in London, released one monthafter their split in August of 1982. The band moved on, Einar formed agroup called Kukl, and later got back together with Purrkur Pillnikk'sbass guitarist, Braggi, and started Sugarcubes. In the tradition of anumber of my favorite clean-cut post-punks, Purrkur Pillnikk were moreconcerned with making lots of fun noise rather than focusing their timeon better chops. Unfortunately for me, however, all the liner notes arein Icelandic but the pictures sure are fun to look at. -
