$12.00 U.S. mailorder
YOU FANTASTIC!'s first
"album". Recorded all over - over the last 4 years. If post-rock's your
bag, we've got the inhalants. YF! is post-band. Thymme Jones, Darin Gray
and Tim Garrigan (of renowned bands such as Dazzling Killmen, Brise-Glace
and Cheer Accident) pal up to create an album that simultaneously soars
and plummets. The assemblage takes the college radio kids back to Brise-Glace's
"When In Vanitas", but Thymme and Darin keep saying "Speechless"-era Fred
Frith and Herb Alpert. No matter what, You'll say Fantastic. 22 tracks
over 70 minutes.

FUN FACT(S): As SKiN GRAFT's exclusive distribution contract with Touch And Go Records was nearing an end, Thymme Jones raced against the clock to finish compiling and mixing the album. Thymme brought the master over only to find that the SKiN GRAFT stereo system was on the blink, and in an inspired moment of improvisation, the cassette player was lined into the SG stereo television for a midnight listening session.
