San Francisco's Pancake Circus was formed in 1997, concocting its music from junk sounds found, created, cut, chopped, and reconstructed. Members Shaggy Manatee, Thumbtack Smoothie and ¢ellout toss electronica and hip-hop into a blender with anything and everything aural. They create a haphazard, unclassifiable form of music that features rhyme over beats while defying the usual conventions of rap. Featured contributors/members include Creamy Goodness, Tendrizer, Osvaldo Castillo, DJ Markie Mark and members of For Stars.

  Nacho Twain - OUT OF PRINT
 


Self-released in 1998, this hip-slop rap-pop collection of catchy, weird, and sometimes beautiful songs is out of print. Absolutely unique and recorded without much studio knowledge or hang-ups.
