Box Sets were once the preserve of canonical Mojo magazine cover stars. Now everyone’s liquidizing their assets before all recorded music becomes worthless. Here’s four CDs of Australia’s finest Eighties pre-grunge unknowns, feedtime.
With two founder members that liked Seventies cock rock and pre-war blues respectively, feedtime flayed Duracel bunny roots rhythms with hardcore noise, slung over Wire’s minimalist post-punk clothes horse, and anchored with high-gravity bass suction power. The sticker on the box calls feedtime ‘avant-garde pub rock’, which wil do fine.
The last disc’s occasional concessions aside, feedtime’s time-travelling conceptual blues-noise suddenly and belatedly makes piquant sense.
