Another Collection

We're Late For Class - Another Collection

This band is very generous in allowing the public to download their music for free. They are currently in college who make trippy psychedelic improv music in their spare time (and probably during study time too). They've been at it for a couple of years posting releases on their blog and they've made it to release number 40 which is this one. It's a compilation of their work from previous releases. The band considers it a special occasion as they've nicely asked a lot of blogs in the musicsharitysphere (including this blog) if they could write a post about it. I do appreciate their stance and it will be interesting to see if more artists make use of Web 2.0 as this band has done.

Here's a promotional write-up that the band has provided about this release:

We're Late For Class is an improvisational psychedelic college collective who've been posting free albums on line for over 2 years. Another Collection is their 40th. 2-CDs, 142 minutes, of uncharted improvisation and drug fueled excess, including a seance with Jim Morrison, a musical romp with O.J. Simpson, a homage to producer Jimmy Miller, the theme song for a low budget cable comedy sketch show, one too many accidental nods to Hawkwind and stoned tributes to Ali, Guess Who guitarist Kurt Winter, Pink Floyd and whatever was on the box that given weekend. It's all culled from their previous 19 releases (#21-#39). Last year's #20 A Collection features highlights from #1-#19. WLFC is also prone to 20, 30 & 40 minute space jams, but didn't have the space to include any this time. The best part? It's all free for the taking. You can find We're Late For Class at any local hash bar or at their blog.
