Best Shots By Hepnova This album collects the most accessible, the most listenable, and the overall best cuts recorded by Hepnova AKA The Ronald Raygun from 1998 to 2003. All killer, no filler, the styles range from the tabla-peppered dancefloor banger "Bionic Boyband in Bollywood" (from 1998) to the tough funk-rock anthem "Internal Ratchet Action" (from 2001). Includes tracks from the groundbreaking 1999 album "Tourist You Are The Terrorist" and the unreleased but brilliant followup, 2000's flinty "Dojo of Hardcore," as well as remix and non-album sessions.

How Long (Live Version) Tourist You Are The Terrorist By Hepnova This is the full, unexpurgated version of the only official release from the classic era, 1999's "Tourist You Are THe Terrorist." Recorded in 1998 and 1998 in full digital DIY mode, this record was engineered by Leesean and released on the Hepnova imprint in a limited run. Ahead of its time, this album presaged the current electro-rock movement. Full of unexpected and wild moments. The highlight is the first Raygun track ever recorded, Lee-Sean's uncategorizable "Telephone Tag." 1. Intro 2. Anthem 3. Bionic Boyband In Bollywood 4. Metropolitain 5. Physical Tourette's 6. Underground 7. Cubizt Night 8. Dark And True 9. Deep-Sea Fish 10. Scandinavian Lover (I Forgot To Be Your) 11. Ennui 12. Digiridoo 13. Understated/Overrated 14. Midnight Chat 15. Noir 16. Yellow Fever 17. Sweet Tomatoes 18. Post-Modern Poster Child 19. Red Hot Ice Queen 20. Wild Strawberries 21. Telephone Tag Oblivion By Hepnova This collection shows what happens when Hepnova, Voltron-like, forms into a towering, straight-ahead rock band. The emphasis here is on live instruments and analog sounds. This collection includes the perfect Britpop ballad "Understated / Overrated" and the loose Latin feel of "Deep Sea Fish," along with the undeniable punk classic "Physical Tourette's." Most of this material is from the "classic" 1998-2000 era, but the title track is from the 2001 Hepnova sessions. 1. Physical Tourette's 2. Oblivion 3. Understated/Overrated 4. Deep-Sea Fish 5. Red Hot Ice Queen 6. Ennui 7. Drug Abuse Wonton Lust By Hepnova These tunes have an Asian theme and are part of Leesean's pop supergroup concept Wonton Lust. From the perfect jangle-pop of "Karaoke" to the synthy poison of "Tokyo Methamphetamine Suicide," these tracks pack a kung fu wallop. Lyrics co-written by reclusive rocker Brad Studio add humor to the adolescent "Bumchow University." 1. Karaoke 2. New Asian Buffet 3. Yellow Fever 4. Tokyo Methamphetamine Suicide 5. Bumchow University Sex Cells By Hepnova This collection of tracks reveals the raw animal nature of the Hepnova crew. Recorded during the debased 1999-2000 era, these songs are sex obsession. Particularly featured here are the superb contributions of bassist John Chase and vocalist / percussionist Susan Webb, who lend freaky fun to the tracks and wrote the classic statement-of-purpose "Sexy Friends." The patently obscene "Sex Class" includes lyrical input from punk rock legend Brad Studio. 1. Sex Power 2. Flavor of the Month 3. Sexy Friends 4. Inside 5. Sex Class 6. Valley Reduce, Reuse, Remix By Hepnova A set of strange remixes from the original album sessions. Pepetrated by Leesean and Nicholas in late 1999 and early 2000. Representing th' abuse of digital technology at its most criminal. For hardcore fans only, with the exception of the masterful electro remix of "Struggling," wherein Leesean reimagines the bleak ditty as an 80s dancefloor lament. Recommended. 1. Anthem (Sugarbuzz Crunch Overdose Mix) 2. Dark and True (Cuban Jinks Mix) 3. Post-Modern Poster Child (90s Hangover Tweeze Mix) 4. Scandinavian Lover (P-Flunk Aimless Mix) 5. Struggling (After Hours Remix) 6. Netmaster 2 (Safety is Dangerous Glitch Mix) 7. Underground (Woozy No Tempo Mix) 8. Wild Strawberries (Morning After Dorm Room Mix) Reduced Coverage By Hepnova This is a collection of pop covers and oddities that were recorded by Leesean and Nicholas in 2001. These tunes were subjected to the remorseless Hepnova reinvention process, and emerged delightfully improved. The irreverent DIY ethic of Hepnova comes across clearly here. 1. When Doves Cry 3. Losing My Religion 3. Hit Me Britney 4. Justify my Secret Struggling By Hepnova A group of tracks showcasing the darker side of the Hepnova crepe, fried up in the 1998-2000 era. Despair, doubt, and self-negation are the themes, and the sounds are hazy and forboding. 1. Struggling (Original Mix) 2. I'm So Goth (I Can't Believe It) 3. Underground 4. Midnight Chat 5. Noir 6. Train Tracks 7. N-Polite Sounds Copyright (P) © Hepnova 1998 - 2008
