This past spring, I shared a
couple of vintage, albeit rather inspired releases from The
I-Rails, a band who's only remote claim to fame was their involvement with future
Primitive Radio Gods figurehead
Chris O'Conner. I wouldn't let that scare you off, as the I-Rails were
about 180 degrees from the aforementioned one hit wonders. When posting their 1990 cassette album,
Panharmonium, I mentioned there were three cassettes that preceded it which I
didn't have in my possession. That's still very much the case, however as of last week I have the missing three reels at the base of my sleeve, conveniently converted to ones and zeroes. I'm sharing the Rails third tape,
Nine Songs From Nowhere, featuring among other fine selections the staggeringly infectious "Sticks and Stones." Like me, a lot of you were instantly endeared to
Panharmonium and were clamoring for more, so here you are, with the other two albums to hopefully follow in the near future. For a (slightly) more thorough backgrounder on the I-Rails, point your cursor to the hyperlinks in this article. A very hearty thanks to the gentlemen who digitized these tracks and sent them in my direction!
