Album Notes

There are likely few indie bands that would defy the logic of releasing a full-length CD of their own material, and instead invite their favorite bands to contribute covers of their songs.

That's exactly what sparkle*jets u.k. did on the 20-song "I Love Sparkle*Jets U.K. (Another Tribute Record)," a bold and zany move in tune with the joyful mood of the Orange-based band.

The results of the collection are mostly good, with performances by The Masticators ("Real Nice Time"), The Dons ("She's My Fave") and Wonderboy ("Surfin' Monkeys") likely to draw the most attention from fans of power pop.

But equally strong highlights include the lush darkness of Ultraviolet Eye ("Listen to Me") and ballad magic of Jeremy ("Thirteen") and the Piper Downs ("Oh Poor Me").

The multimedia-enhanced CD-ROM includes all kinds of surprises for computer users that make this an even greater find.
