"The Estrus Cocktail Companion" 1996

This is a great little Estrus compilation with tunes by several of my personal favorite bands: The Apemen, Man or Astro-Man?, Satan's Pilgrims, and a really great tune from Southern Culture on the Skids, extolling the virtues of moonshine ("if you light up a smoke you're gonna blow off the roof"), girls in string bikinis, and cheese……What more does one need for a party? Some of this material is available on other Estrus releases but some bands I'm not familiar with so I can't really say. I would have liked to hear more from The Del Lagunas, who provide a great version of "Intoxica" on this, but apparently their output was limited to a few singles and then, gone. At any rate, this is an overall solid release with hardly a clinker to be found. - TheatreXtrax:
