Flop - whenever you’re ready LP/CD

  • frontier / sony. / 17 tracks / 1993
  • D: frontier / sony. 474579 / 1993
  • Limited picture disc LP version. Feat. Rusty Willoughby of the Fastbacks.
  • The Nirvana effect meant that every band that knew how to hold a guitar was offered a major label contract. So Flop from Seattle got theirs, too, but they - like almost all the others - sunk without a trace. At least we have a well-produced document of their great melodic & ultra-catchy pop punk. This CD sounds a LOT like Sub-Pop-Era Fastbacks, just a little slower, and The Great Valediction is a real hit. [8]
  • Nach dem Nirvana-Knaller bekamen auch Flop ihren Major-Vertrag… und gingen wie fast alle anderen unter. Wenigstens haben wir so ein paar gut produzierte Platten unserer Lieblingsbands, was soll’s. Flop klingen hier geradezu unanständig nach den Fastbacks; nur daß Flop etwas ruhiger sind als ihre Schwesterband. Viele schöne Songs, und mit The Great Valediction haben sie einen veritablen Hit.
  • Tracks: a. wylie / regrets / julie francavilla / pluto / en route to the unified field theory / a fixed point / a popular donkey / the great valediction / mendel’s white trash laboratory / z2 + c / sorry henry maartens / night of the hunter / port angeles / eat / woolworth / parts I & II / need retrograde orbit
