Notes

very rare and extremely obscure Detroit compilation called Strange Babies Who Cry Rock. This was released in 1987 on Pull Light Records. Most of the tracks on his record feature Howard Glazer, who was a member of the synthpop band What If Thinking (who have a track on this LP). There are also two songs that are essentially solo songs by him (a song under his name and a song with another vocalist, where they call themselves "Syntax Error"), featuring manual and programmed drum machines, synthesizers, and guitars. And what Detroit comp would be complete without a hard rock/metal song to close out the record? The final song (by a band with the perplexing-but-kinda-cool name Vibratory Synod) is a great midtempo rocker with squealing guitars. Elsewhere there are some great new wave, indie, and post punk songs.
