Bunnydrums
PKD/Simulacra
Flux
Metropolis occasionally puts out something interesting, but it usually gets overshadowed by the five-hundred million other things they put out in their attempt to be everything goth and industrial this side of the Atlantic. They should be commended for reissuing these long OOP Bunnydrums' records on PKD/Simulacra, especially since this has a whole lot of nothing to do with the goth and/or industrial scenes. Bunnydrums were an early eighties Philly post-punk band with a Philip K. Dick obsession. A little bit of ACR funk, a little bit of GO4 dissonance, a little bit of spaced out improv jamming, a little bit of Devo on 'ludes... a more mellow and dancier version of PIL, or a more rockin' and less hostile/depressing version of Minimal Man. After bouncing around their website a bit, it seems like this was originally released some time ago (1998?) by the band themselves on a CD-R entitled Simulacra... similar to the Stickmen With Ray Guns CD reissue. One complaint: I wish they would've made it a double disc and included everything. Now I'm going to have to do it myself for the Septa label.
