Science Diet - Thru the Igloo
Behemoth Sound Recordings (1996, BS006)
Guitar/Vocals - Chris
Drums - Jerry
Bass - Steve O.
Recorded with Geoff Turner (Archers of Loaf, Superchunk, Hellbender). I wasn't really involved in the mixing. We played a lot of shows on Long Island. I think maybe with 7 Seconds. Eric from Farckus Affair played bass after I left.
The music always reminded me of Fireburn and Into Another. Heavy, complicated parts with multiple changes. Not too crazy about the sound effects throughout the record but overall a good record.
To quote the review from Under the Volcano #35:
"Science Diet sound like a Dischord band that drank some Evian spiked with LSD. Spidery guitar, dreamy vocals, and more part changes than you can shake a stick at. I always really liked these guys, though many of you might find they try your attention span a little too much. Also included on this disc is a cover of The Cure's "The Forest" which had become a Science Diet favorite live. Nice package with illustrations that will convince you the walls are melting."
