Smith-curated 'Disparate Cognescenti' compilation. The band expanded to include nine members and released two studio albums before disbanding in 1996.

Reception Dave Cromwell of ''The Deli'' wrote that, throughout the a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
