Comments:
This sampler compilization was put together by producer Chris
Matthews (me) in 1996 to herald some of the wide-world-of-Sheep’s
various new projects at the time, both solo and collective,
including reissues and a few obscure side projects.
A few of the mixes heard here are different than their
“final” counterparts released later.
And some of the promised “upcoming” releases have STILL never
seen the light of day!
(NOTE: Albums & singles
listed in the liner notes below that are currently available on this
