What their label says...

A double compact disc retrospective of the first four years of the EXCEPTER live experience, selected, sequenced and edited by band acolyte Robert Girardin from the first thirty-six issues of the STREAMS mp3 series "..this month has been one of astounding sonic overload; so much so that I could hardly decide which music to discuss on this Drudion. The most instant (and most psychically useful) classic of this month must surely be STREAMS, a massive double-CD by Excepter, who delight in post-Amon Duul 1 protest chanting in a 'Help Me, I'm A Rock' free rock-style as orchestrated by two mush-mouthed Kim Fowley and J. Morrison types performing through Adrian Sherwood's On-U-Sound filter. Accompanied throughout by two snotty girl singers who come across like Patty Paladin and Judy Nylon of Snatch, these garrulous drunken shamen of Excepter successfully wrestle mantles both from Destroy All Monsters and Death From Above 1979, while stoking up the forest fires so successfully ignited by Valley of Ashes and Zodiac Mountain. This hefty twin CD package comes replete with the freaked out musings of endless stoned remedial rock riffs (imagine the G. Clinton-fuelled beats of Sly Stone's 'Funk Gets Stronger' drumming as though supporting yo' typical 1970 De Twat Krautrock) as the twin in-bred sisters chant and coo such random things as 'egg party!' and 'MC333'. It's the Residents on THIRD REICH'N'ROLL, it's Chrome at their outset, it's the Nihilist Spasm band in the closing seconds of their 15-minute 'Destroy The Nations'. Grab this essential home-aid from the very excellent Fusetron Records (046), I really cannot recommend it highly enough." - Julian Cope, Head Heritage.
