Thumper (EP)
''Thumper'' is the first EP by the Australian rock band Man in the Wood and the second and final release before the name change to Tlot Tlot a year later. It was released in 1990 on Manhole Productions. It was only released on vinyl. The songs on ''Thumper'' are darker than the band's future output as Tlot Tlot. They are even darker than Bolwell and Paulzen's future work with Merril Bainbridge. The EP jacket appears to depict three Hopi Kachina dolls. Even though all the songs are credited to Bolwell and Paulzen on the album cover, a search of the APRA, AMCOS database reveals that the songs "Compressor", "Down on His Luck", "I Wept" and "Circus" were actually co-written by all three Man in the Wood members. The "Samurai Glands" tracks are actually cut up and backmasked segments of the song "Glamour and the Sand" that appeared as a B-side to the "Rain" 7" in 1989. Part 1 is the final 16 seconds of the song, while part 2 is the intro and cut up versions of the first verse and cho ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

These communities produced independent record labels, visual art, multimedia performances and fanzines.
