CRAZY ALICE - "BENDER" - 1993 Grunge CD

Today I'm sharing an album from the early 1990's Grunge/Alternative band Crazy Alice, their sophomore effort, 1993's "Bender".

For some reason, other albums released by Crazy Alice are currently on Spotify, but not this one. This album's been lost to time, with only 30-second clips existing on the Internet Archive. After coming across this disc at a flea market last month and having a good laugh at the cover, I felt I had to pick it up and give it a shot.

It's a pretty solid album; exactly what you'd expect from the post-Nirvana boom. Catchy hooks, grungy tones, feedback, and scratchy, off-kilter singing. Highlights include "Only Friend", "Fast", "Bleed", and "Trash Heap".

WE'RE ON WHATNOT!

Hey there, Folks! In case anyone missed it in our previous blog post, The Random Sanctum is now a seller on WHATNOT!

I'm trying to do at least one Live Auction every weekend, and I'll always announce the auction well in advance directly on my Whatnot profile... so make sure to Follow and Bookmark upcoming auctions! Once an item sells, it's GONE!

As of right now I'm focusing on comic books and video games, but many more goodies will be made available as time goes on. Don't miss out!

THE ORIGINAL CYNDI - "THE POWER WITHOUT THE PRICE" - 2009 CD

Well Hello, Sanctum Dwellers! I know it's been a while. AGAIN.

This has been one hectic summer for me; between getting ready for my first-ever comic convention in November, and doing weekly auctions on the Sanctum's new Whatnot store, I've had a hard time being able to gather together OOP oddities.

But today I have a real doozy for you; an album by a group known as "The Original Cyndi". I honestly can't even describe it. A little Jazz Fusion, a little Electronica, a little Experimental, even Comedy... it's a hodgepodge of bizarreness that has to be heard to be believed.

I can't seem to find much information about the group beyond this release's Discogs page, and the site devoted to the recording studio used (of which one of the band members runs). If anyone has any other info I can share here, please let me know!

Stay tuned for more obscure audio shared here in the coming weeks!
