Dark Globe - Life is Research (1990, Scheming Intelligentsia)

You might be compelled to download this disk for the very same reason I bought it - the rather trippy and bodacious album jacket.  If it's mercurial, Barrett-esque psych-pop that you're licking your chops over you may not want to bother.  Dark Globe had their sights set on sludgy punk, resembling a ramshackle hybrid of Green River and the Lime Spiders, lacking a good half of the substance one could usually rely on those bands for.  In fact, much of Life is Research rings a little frivolous, but some of the group's mellower pieces, namely "Dragons" and "Love is Strange" help salvage things.  A rushed, but cranking tread through "Lucifer Sam" isn't a highlight so much as a curiosity.  You have been warned.
