Robert Bloemkolk Used to buy records online (sometimes) at San Francisco's legendary recordstore Aquarius. Their website with reviews was absolutely awesome. Their yearly top ten review took a year to digest because customers and musicians also dropped their favorites. Oh, I loved them. Hope they will park their old website in some corner of the internet so we can nerd around it. Anyway, they championed Bitch Magnet so I didn't think twice. Name your price. Favorite track: Dragoon.

Eric Benac High-intensity math rock that moves the body as well as the soul. You may not be able to boogie to it, but you can twitch rather quickly. Favorite track: Sadie.

about

Temporary Residence Ltd. is proud to present the remastered and repackaged reissue of the legendary Bitch Magnet's seminal and critically acclaimed three albums - Star Booty, Umber, andBen Hur. The deluxe 3xLP or 3xCD package include all three albums, plus more than a half dozen rare and previously unreleased tracks, a total of 34 songs, remastered from the original, restored analog master tapes. Bitch Magnet was formed at Oberlin College in 1986. Immediately following the release of its debut Star Booty in 1988, the band garnered rapturous reviews and established itself among the top-tier of America's independent music underground. The band's reputation continued to grow with tours of the US and Europe, and the subsequent releases of Umber (prominently included by Mojo on its list of "Lost Albums You Must Own") in 1989 and Ben Hur in 1990. The latter two have been frequently cited as a key inspiration for what would become known as "post-rock," a term that baffled and amused the members of Bitch Magnet when it first surfaced, and still does today. Along with their contemporaries in Slint, in the years following their breakup, Bitch Magnet has been recognized as a significant influence on generations of aggressive and musically complex bands, including Don Caballero, Mogwai, Rodan, June of 44 and Battles.
