The reviews are in!
"Industrial noise from NYC embellished by sweet little asides – a Shangri-La’s sample here, an aircraft taking off there – that recalls the heavier excesses of Killdozer (say) or one of that Amphetamine Reptile crew. Drum-led, as you’d expect from underground rock magazine BB Gun publisher Bob Bert – Bewitched’s mainstay and former drummer with Sonic Youth, Boss Hog and Pussy Galore – and darkly psychedelic, as well; it occupies the fertile, festering middle-ground between Bert’s former groups and something far more worrying, a drugs-free Royal Trux perhaps? Stand out ‘Hey White Homey’ is as malignant as even Action Swingers, and man – that’s some nasty." - Everett True, Plan B, April 2007
"Scoodled in between Sonic Youth, Pussy Galore, Chrome Cranks, Boss Hog, Knoxville Girls, Int'l Shades and all his other projects, Bob Bert led the exquisite Bewitched for seven years. A variety of players and concepts passed through the combo's doors. At times it was pretty experimental sounding - especially in its original format, with Susanne Sasic - at others it bled pure dunder-rock. This set rescues a varied selection of their best work from scarce LPs and 45s, creating a mock "greatest hits" package for a band that never really got the respect it deserved." - Byron Coley, Harp Magazine May 2007
"WHY YOU SHOULD CARE: Bewitched is the art-damaged, garage-storming vehicle of Bob Bert, whose participation in Sonic Youth and Pussy Galore practically defined underground rock in the late '80s.
WHAT'S NEW: This 12-cut comp collects rare singles and selected tracks from the band's two full-lengths, ranging from garage-rock-rave-ups to inspired synth-and-noise laden buzzbombs.
IS IT WORTH IT: Say no to drugs, 'cause listening to this thing is the best trip you've never taken." - Jason Pettigrew, Alternative Press, April 2007
