No reviews. Here’s what I posted on my blog:

I haven’t listed to The Yummy Fur in about a decade and I forgot how good they were. They’ve remained, in my mind, the band that helped cheerlead Ben Wallers into a substantial musical existence, but they were pretty respectable in their own right. One record of theirs I never came across was a split cassette with Dick Johnson called “Babies In The Cockpit”. The tape was looooooong OOP before I ever found out about it. I’d see it listed on Web 1.0 discog sites from time to time, but I’m guessing they dubbed about…50 copies? Less? Fortunately for us all, the 19-track album has just-been rescued and reissued by Fuzzkill Records in Scotland. The rougher production and looser approach suits YF, although the sound is still close enough to what their modus operandi consisted of before they started dragging people like Alex Kapranos out of alleyways and into studios. Basically their side of the tape is especially raw. Dick Johnson, however, make a show of it and give them a run for their money. Both groups were fronted by siblings John and Jane McKeown, with the latter at the helm of Dick Johnson, along with other 90s Glaswegian acts like Lung Leg. All in all, I think I might be more impressed with Jane & company, at least as far as “Babies In The Cockpit” is concerned. Tracks like “The Make Up” are MAD. But both of these bands are exemplary of the more chaotic, less overly ambitious side of 90s DIY indie rock.
