42 bands from all over the world appear on this double tribute CD to the kings of fuzz themselves, The FUZZTONES. Formed in 1980 in New York, the band has become over the years a reference in the world of 60s influenced psyche garage rock. While bands like the FUZZ FACES, The STAGGERS, The PREACHERS, MARSHMALLOW OVERCOAT, PLASTICLAND or The MORLOCKS are directly in the FUZZTONES lineage, it is interesting to see that other rock bands who usually don?t play this style (NIKKI SUDDEN, MAD JUANA, JAYNE COUNTY, SPARKLING BOMBS or the DEADBILLYS) also appear on this tribute album. I can?t say that I know each and every original version of these songs but there?s no bad track on here, every band do their job quite well and that?s not always the case as far as tribute albums are concerned. 42 songs!.. and more could have been included so there?s probably going to be a volume 2. Fuzz on! /Laurent.
