Description:

The kings of Sydney pop, Nic Dalton and Tom Morgan, have been working hard. This release is comprised of the now deleted double 7" Sneeze debut plus 21 bonus tracks. That makes 41 tracks in 47 minutes, with only one insrumental, the Sneeze Theme. Listening to this CD, I have come to the conclusion that Sneeze is the Seinfeld of pop. How else could you describe these short, catchy and lyrically packed songs about life, love and mixed lollies? All of the tracks were written & performed by Morgan and Dalton and also include guest musicians from their many band mates and indie pop friends such as members of Smudge, Swirl, the Hummingbirds, Simon Day from Ratcat, the late Stevie Plunder of the Plunderers and of course the Lemonheads with Jesse Peretz on bass. There are many moments of humor and brilliance here but my favorites would have to be Shaky Ground, a duet with Tom and Alannah Russack (later recorded by Evan Dando as a Lemonheads B-side), Ripped Jeans, a Ramones tribute, Autumnal Eyes, which has been performed live by Nic with Godstar, Dad's Trailer, which has traces of Steppenwolf, "R" in which one lyric goes a long way, the melodic bass runs of Cold, Cold Morning, and the very listenable Explain Deep December as sung by Tom. What more can I say? in 41 songs, Sneeze has said it all! - Form Guide, 1996.
