From the Artist
Happy (and not so happy) days.
EPILEPTICS: System Rejects: Comprising 28 studio and live tracks recorded between November ‘78 and September ‘79, this is a great overview of the band’s activities prior to a change in line-up and a new name: Flux Of Pink Indians. Those familiar with Flux’s "Strive To Survive" album will recognise embryonic versions of better-known songs, and as the vocalist and the guitarist both appear in the two bands, a similarity in approach shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. It’s over twenty years since I was part of the Epileptics and Flux, and while my own musical direction and aspirations have changed, I can’t deny that my time with the bands is still an important part of my life. These recordings include our first single release which was a big moment for all of us, regardless of its insignificance sales-wise, and the 1979 demos which are particularly memorable as these were the result of our first visit to a recording studio. (Actually, it was more like a garden shed with a reel-to-reel tape recorder and ancient headphones, but it had its own proper engineer - wow.) By the end of ‘79, we had all felt as if we were pulling in different directions, so once the drummer had decided to leave, I turned it in too. Two years later I was back with the nucleus of the band in Flux Of Pink Indians, and made the afore-mentioned "Strive" album with them before putting my guitar back into its battered case and walking off into the sunset. Further adventures of Flux can be heard on "Not So Brave", another collection of live and studio recordings and also released by Overground, a label who do a really great job. Coming soon is a live Flux CD (again on Overground), recorded in November ‘82, which has a special significance for me as it was my last gig with the band.

Customer Reviews

SEMINAL F.O.P.I.
A very lenghty record-73' +,starts with the good sounding 3 tracker 7 inches only official record from the band,directly lifted from vinyl.Tracks 4 to 18 are 2 excellent live sets with nice,guitar driven sound.Tracks 19 to 28 are demos,rehearsals and some more live tracks,all of them so nasty sounding one would believe are mere fillers.All in all,47 minutes of pre crust,garagey and energetic punk rock.
