Representing 17 of California's finest underground pop outfits from the highly acclaimed to the still obscure, Zip Records' West of Eden compilation is largely delightful, despite its surprisingly tacky T&A cover art. Launched with the intoxicatingly loopy, provocative "Sex" by Persephone's Bees, the disc touches on power pop (the Shambles' stellar "All Sorts"), indie rock (Fields of Gaffney's lo-fi "Play Me"), and glam revival (the Paranoids' T. Rex homage "The Party's Over") with positive results

At the center of each family is a dreamer who finds fortune and strife in Southern California: Edward Doheny, the Wisconsin-born oil tycoon whose corruption destroyed the reputation of a . president and led to his own son’s violent death; Jack Warner, the son of Polish-Jewish immigrants, who together with his brothers founded one of the world’s most.
Gardens of Eden is a multidimensional tool of anthology guaranteed to whisk even the most hardcore urbanites into the folds of Shangri-la. This collection of music from around the world is built around the theme of paradise on earth; the highly detailed liner notes include an overview of environmental organizations pledged to preserve vanishing resources. The subdued, lighthearted music is constructed around the soft caress of acoustic guitar, ukulele, African kora, Polynesian drums, Indian tabla, and sitar. This was NOT the case with Gardens of Eden, though. The whole album is enjoyable and lulls you into a sense of well-being and peace.
