3D Electric Jesus - Anonymous (1995)
We KIND of remember 3D Electric Jesus. Or maybe it's just the band name we remember - things get pretty jumbled in our heads sometimes. This is heavier alt rock, probably one of the bazillion bands that Krisjan Leslie recorded at thee olde Sundae Sound in the mid-90's.

Various Artists - Original Music Association of Calgary Compilation CD (1995)
This compilation CD proudly proclaims itself as a product of the CorelDRAW era - you can FEEL the mid-90's dripping off this disc. We're not familiar with OMAC and there are a lot of artists on here who we can't recall. The genres skip around a fair amount - the electronica of Ohama and Mozart's Rage give this a bit of street cred, but you can count on a mix of alt rock, country, folk, and jazz in between.

Acid Mirage - A Darkened Sun (1994)
Here's another tape from Steph Adams, and from a band we have no info on. We know that Acid Mirage played the Black Lounge from show listings at the time... but beyond that, nada. But we DID listen to this tape (we listen to 'em all!) and can you this has pretty strong prog rock and metal influences and a lot of really great guitar work. We're kind of curious to know how this would have gone over at the Black Lounge - these aren't simple punk songs, they're much meatier.
Get yr Acid Mirage here!

Chapter 16 - Chapter 16 (1993)
HUGE thanks to Steph Adams for getting in touch with us and passing us a few tapes she collected from the Black Lounge back in the day. Including this one from all ages regulars Chapter 16. This tape pre-dates the several others of theirs that we've previously posted... and other than that, we really don't have anything new to contribute to the Chapter 16 story.
But that doesn't mean you can skip the download!

No More Moments - Quarter Life Crisis (2022)
Okay, here's a tape we're really excited to have. Mostly because it showed up unexpectedly when we ordered the 12" version of this EP (the B side of which is etched - which is something we always appreciate). This newest offering from Siksika's finest is excellent with a sound is HUGE and songs that are fast and full of heart - there's something in No More Moments' songs that reminds us of Suicidal Tendencies on here, minus the metal noodling. Which is a really good thing.
