I just discovered World In Sound have reissued a remastered With Magnetic Fields Disrupted
http://tastyodds.com/worldinsound/start.swf
I've just been listening to the tracks that are up on youtube after neglecting my copy of the cd for years. Wondering if I've still got it in fact. It was reissued some time back by New alliance an SST affiliated label.
It captures the 3 Miller brothers in their mid to late teens exploring the influence of things like the Floyd, Beefheart etc.
Sounds pretty great from listening to what's on youtube.
Anybody else familiar with it?
Oh yeah, what caused me to discover this recent reissue was the review by Patrick Lundborg in the new Ugly Things which arrived yesterday. also has me intrigued by a band called $27 Snap On Face several of whose tracks are also on youtube.

Not too sure if you know of the following but it's worth checking out the interview with them on the It's Psychedelic Baby blog (and there's plenty of other great stuff on there too).

I bought the 7" that came out with the LP in the 90's, and have a dub of the album somewhere.
Aggressively hairy psychedelic tunes of 1970 vintage -- both too late (jammy) and too early (punky) for its time?
Teenagers in a basement trying to write Barrett/Floyd songs and play them like Cream -- and it comes out a bit like the grossest live recordings of Pink Fairies or Simply Saucer? Or at least Bent Wind or The Index.

Found this
http://psychedelicbaby.blogspot.com/2011/11/sproton-layer-mission-of-burma.html
after finding my cd copy, which is the old New alliance version from '91. Sounds pretty great as is and the WIS version's supposed to be a marked improvement.
There's supposed to be a 2nd cd being released of various unreleased stuff including space jams.
Interesting interview anyway.

This is great stuff I didn't really know about, though I'd always preferred his solo/side projects to MoB, great as they were for their time.

Just received a copy of the CD today. Excellent stuff - I'd never have guessed it was from 1970; it sounds as if it were recorded at least five years later. Deserves to be ranked alongside Rocket from the Tombs' "The Day the Earth Met The..." as a crucial missing link between prog-rock and punk.
