This would be my pick for the unheralded FN geniuses after all the better heralded ones. This is mostly likely a sluggy rip but anyway I don’t have the cd.

your blog sez:

Introducing the collected works of the Exploding Budgies and Goblin Mix, the most well-known of David Mitchell’s (the 3D’s, Plagal Grind) early projects. The two Auckland outfits released EPs on Flying Nun in the mid-eighties; these were collected on an excellent but now out-of-print 1991 archival compilation. The Budgies pre-date Goblin Mix, first appearing on the 1983 Flying Nun compilation ‘The Last Rumba,’ which also featured early luminaries such as the Children’s Hour and the Stones. ‘The Grotesque Singers’ EP offers a nice bit of pleasant kiwi jangle, including the heady rush of “Kenneth Anger” and the quietly lilting”Sunflower,” but I’ve always preferred the Goblin Mix’s two releases. Their self-titled debut and 1986’s ‘The Birth and Death of Goblin Mix’ (released as Son of Goblin Mix) are at once more assured, confident recordings and less musically restrained than the Exploding Budgies. “The Water” and “Unusual Wish” from the debut EP are vintage slices of mid-eighties Flying Nun, while the subdued melancholy of “The Winter Song” and the raucous, tumbling “Fruit of the Womb” on ‘Birth and Death…’ point the way towards Mitchell’s work in the 3D’s. You can safely file away the Budgies and Goblin Mix next to the Stones in the unfairly underrated department.
