Westfield, New Jersey's
Animation had the good fortune of having their ep,
Loud Day, produced by Pat DiNizio of Smithereens renown. Not bad for a band just getting on it's feet, although that key production credit apparently didn't jettison Animation to household name status. The quintet's amiable, ringing guitar rock wasn't overly derivative of any of their contemporaries, but the neuvo-psychedelic flourishes of organ that crop up occasionally make a case that Animation may have partaken in the work of some of their West Coast Paisley Underground contemporaries. "Where it Rains All Days" is my sure-fire pick for instant gratification here, but a run through the Velvets "What Goes On" is nearly as satisfactory. Check out the band's Myspace page, conveniently linked above, for more tuneage.

Ah, thanks for this! "Where It Rains All Days" is one of my favourite unheard tracks of the 1980s.
How's about some rare stuff by The Call, in honor of the late, great Michael Been?
I wasn't aware that he died. Nothing to share by the Call, sorry.
Thanks for this one. Had it on vinyl until a party got out of control.
Awwww. I have yet to try digitizing vinyl, but this sounds like vinyl recorded on cassette tape too "hot". Is there any chance you could try again? A lot to ask, I know. But I don't have the vinyl anymore. I really loved this EP.
Thanks.
