The Chrome Cranks! Their first two are next level great. They had a solid following here in Australia in the 90s. The scientists were obviously a big influence on them I think
I LOVE The Scientists and Kim Salmon in general. Hit Me with the Surreal Feel is another great lo-fi record. Saw Scientists on their tour a few years ago in San Francisco, fan-fucking-tastic. My only complaint is they did not do "Solid Gold Hell."

Yo La Tengo should be mentioned in this thread.
Drake Tungsten
Peek-a-Boo records entire roster.
Shit - sorry that you missed out on Solid Gold Hell. That is definitely not one to leave out of the set! Was Tony Thewlis playing with them for the 2018 tour? To my mind he was the real sound of The Scientists for their second-wave art-goth period. Okay I might be overplaying things a bit, but he really is terrifically underrated. I went to all three of their reunion shows in 2000, and they slayed. Thewlis was on fire
Yes, Thewlis was there. One of my favorite shows ever, and I don't usually do the "reunion" thing. I'm so glad I made an exception that time.

Not crap. Anyone who knew me in the 90s probably had to tolerate my affinity for Xpressway Records, especially for Alastair Galbraith and Peter Jefferies.
