Product Description
From Amazon.com
The Camper's first album appeared between R.E.M.'s birth and a time when there were no more rules to break in American rock, with an attitude split between the Dead's looped, arcane optimism and an upbeat cynicism that later became known as indie rock. Instant classics such as "Oh No!" are interspersed with instrumentals such as the joyous blue-beat of "Border Ska" (which never predicted the Mighty Mighty skacore mire). It's collegiate psychedelia, '80s style, endeavoring to utilize a different style of music for every song, with rich ethnic referents subbing for "intense" jamming. They stood apart from 10,000 jangling R.E.M. imitators, and their "kitchen-sink-too" style has been absorbed by Dead-inheritors such as Phish (albeit sans punk roots; see CVB's folky take on Black Flag's "Wasted"). The humongous titles, the album and band names, even the sheer volume of tiny catchy tunes (17!) point to a willingness to flout convention by doing everything at once. --Gene Booth
