The average music enthusiasts tends to regard Scaterd Few as a big fish in a small pond of relevant faith-based bands. However, when Scaterd Few went on hiatus the first time, Aguirre gravitated towards dark wave, playing alongside bands like Jane’s Addiction, who were then vying for recognition in a sea of hair metal bands. Years later, Cygnet ended up evolving into the moniker Spy Glass Blüe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI first became aware of Spy Glass Blüe when Flying Tart (also known as Flying Fart, but I digress…) released Spy Glass Blüe's debut EP on a 7” and a cassette. The songs on this 7” and tape later made it onto Shadows, their first full length. When I hear this album, I think steam punk, though it is also referred to as dark wave. I also hear Eastern European post-punk in these fine crafted songs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the elements I adore about Spy Glass Blüe is the more stripped-down approach to song structure. Layers are ever-present and the vocals are front and center. Thin and Leaner launches it with reckless abandon, reminding the listener that post-punk is no respite from the punk family. Lodging embodies the wonder of being in love, perhaps the most intimate lyrics to date. In Sultry Places is my favorite from Shadows, though I confess I am hard pressed to decipher its meaning: “With a Crimson Face disgraced, By secret names and childhood games, Tales of Croatian sacrifices, Opal Eyes don’t fantasize aloud but, alone in sultry places…” Hey, does anyone have an Allan key to help unlock this lyrical mystery?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan You Feel? is a song of lament as well as an apprise: “His eyes kaleidoscope in pain to see, the mass creation, Continue in their degradable shame, But still the broken heart keeps bleeding for the population, Shouldn’t we be doing the same in His name?” \u003cbr\u003eOn Me Mine there is passionate interplay between the guitar and bass with goth influences bleeding out. Next up, Stygian is colorful post-punk that it may transport your mind to another ethereal location. While it appears to be sing-song-y and jovial, the subject matter is anything but … “For the lips of an adulteress drip like honey, Her feet go down to the depths of She’ol, Like a Syriac or oxen to the slaughter, Little Stygian follows to her chamber of death.” If you happen to wonder where Spy Glass Blüe stands on the fate of defiled spiritual leaders, this might give you pause. Iron Grey is a masterpiece, Bowie-esque and bewildering. In all sincerity, if Aguirre had a solid shot at general market music, this would have been the song. Should Have is the antithesis of a sappy love song, written from the persuasion of one who realizes beauty is not what makes a relationship. Ending with Tell, this is a tribal-esque praise piece, quoting from a portion of a Hebrew Psalm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShadows not only sketches personal shadows but also those of religious leaders on public display. It is often dark, mostly exquisite, and essentially truth-telling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cygnet tracks following are from the Cygnet tape that preceded Spy Glass Blüe. These earlier renditions never had the best fidelity but they represent the evolution of the songs as they were originally heard early on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe last track on this album is from a Heaven’s Metal (HM Magazine) compilation of bands covering other bands’ songs from a mostly faith music context. As I have heard, Aguirre was exposed to music like Daniel Amos, Phil Keaggy and Keith Green while living in Central America as a young believer. This Keith Green song fits Allan’s juxtaposition like a glove while also breathing new life into it.\u003cbr\u003e                           \u003cstrong\u003e(Doug Peterson \/ Music Critic)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Thin And Leaner \u003cbr\u003e2 Lodging \u003cbr\u003e3 In Sultry Places \u003cbr\u003e4 Can You Feel \u003cbr\u003e5 Me Mine \u003cbr\u003e6 On And On \u003cbr\u003e7 Stygian \u003cbr\u003e8 Iron Grey \u003cbr\u003e9 Ignorant Side \u003cbr\u003e10 Come Patmos \u003cbr\u003e11 Should Have \u003cbr\u003e12 Tell \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSHADOWS BONUS TRACKS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eCygnet (Allan’s band circa 1986-1989) Recorded 1988\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e13.

The veiled lyrics and steam punk found on the debut have been supplanted by more personable lyrics and post-punk\/goth leanings. The songs are tight and masterfully played.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeginning with \u003cem\u003eLight Machine\u003c\/em\u003e, this mid-paced rocker sets a solid musical trajectory for this new band variant. \u003cem\u003eBecause Of You\u003c\/em\u003e sounds like Big Star and is reminiscent of the style of lyrics Keith Green would have penned. Moving along, I hear the ambiance of Bowie in \u003cem\u003eThe Dreaming\u003c\/em\u003e, a beautiful song that extrapolates on of purpose and calling.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMorning Star \u003c\/em\u003ehas Britpop sensibility and showcases mature songwriting: “Adulation – Comes in so many sizes, And in the end we’ll bow on bended knee to, the Giver of Life.” The next track \u003cem\u003eEverything\u003c\/em\u003e could have been recorded in a space capsule if you use your imagination and is equal parts brooding and enlightening. \u003cem\u003eOphelia \u003c\/em\u003esounds like something Peter Murphy might have done, majestic and joyous. \u003cem\u003eSong For My Children\u003c\/em\u003e is a heart-on-sleeve song about empathy felt for children growing up. Closing song \u003cem\u003eAnd I Go\u003c\/em\u003e is melancholic goth, a gorgeous romping song about searching and finding.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn this CD reissue is a song from the Daniel Amos tribute compilation, the song by the same name as the tribute album title, \u003cem\u003eWhen World’s Collide\u003c\/em\u003e. This is a brilliant DA song. While Allan’s version does not add anything strikingly unique, it does captures the song’s beauty well with his own keyboard and vocal delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso, the \u003cem\u003eLoud As Feathers\u003c\/em\u003e boxset album contains \u003cem\u003eThe Blue EP\u003c\/em\u003e that was released a year later. It is essentially an indie rock album. \u003cem\u003eMercy \u003c\/em\u003elaunches it with fresh energy and a reference to a \u003cem\u003ePsalms\u003c\/em\u003e passage: “In skin you’ve clothed me, With bones You’ve knit me, Fearfully wonderfully made.” The third cut \u003cem\u003eStymie \u003c\/em\u003eboldly stands out, incorporating moody rock tones and competent vocals. \u003cem\u003eCome Away \u003c\/em\u003eis a dreamy love song, not unlike the prose one might find in the \u003cem\u003eSong of Solomon: \u003c\/em\u003e“The flowers are blooming, They dance with the dew, And the voice of the dove has been heard, Come away with me.” \u003cem\u003eVacant Places \u003c\/em\u003ecloses the EP with the drive of a steam locomotive while repeating the line, “I will fill your vacant places.” It sounds more like a song fragment rather than a finished composition. Having said that, Aguirre was never fearful of trying new ideas, and this was a first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall atmosphere on \u003cem\u003eThe Blue EP\u003c\/em\u003e is more carefree than on any other project. As I repeatedly listen, I wonder if this Ep was recorded in a time of rest or reset for Aguirre, as even the more energetic numbers have a calm to them.  A rapturous musical experience through and through.  \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e(Doug Peterson \/ Music Critic)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Light Machine\u003cbr\u003e2 Turn And Remember\u003cbr\u003e3 Because Of You\u003cbr\u003e4 The Dreaming\u003cbr\u003e5 Morning Star\u003cbr\u003e6 Everything\u003cbr\u003e7 Ophelia\u003cbr\u003e8 (Looks Like) We Made It\u003cbr\u003e9 Song For My Children\u003cbr\u003e10 And I Go\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLOUD AS FEATHERS BONUS TRACKS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e11 When Worlds Collide \u003cstrong\u003e(Daniel Amos cover) \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e**Spy Glass Blüe EP (2003) BONUS TRACKS \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e12 Mercy\u003cbr\u003e13 One And Only\u003cbr\u003e14 Stymie\u003cbr\u003e15 Come Away\u003cbr\u003e16 I Will Love You\u003cbr\u003e17 Vacant Places\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnreleased Bonus Track\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e18.

Before that, an eleven-song tape was made available at shows, or bootlegged. Flying Tart Records picked it up for a CD release in 1994. With its inclusion in the boxset, Out Of The Attic finally receives the sound tweaking it has been begging for.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI remember hearing a bootleg of these songs back in 1984, along with Circle One’s Patterns of Force album. There was nothing more authentically punk than these songs from the viewpoint of outreach. As Terry Scott Taylor of Daniel Amos fame penned in the Flying Tart liner notes, the LA club scene had these songs long before the Christian bookstores did.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the first band incarnation of Scaterd Few consisted of Allan Aguirre (then known as Ramald Domkus) on guitar, another “Allen” on vocals, brother Omar on bass, and Brian Andrews on drums. Tracks four through eleven off Out Of The Attic were on The Terry Tapes, named accordingly since Terry Taylor sat in the producer’s seat. Attic is unapologetic LA punk, no special effects, no over-dubs. The audacity of believers doing punk in the early ‘80s is unequivocally ballsy. These were short yet authentic punk songs informing a decade and a half of starch-in-the-collar industry types what they could expect, particularly in the Pacific Northwest, for another musical revolution. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen listening to these early songs like Death or Anti-Ape, it revisits an earlier time when some of us wanted nothing more than to experience unabashed freedom in both Jesus and music that spoke in a raw vernacular. Apart from the first Barnabas album, Circle One, a young U2, and some fringe UK bands, nothing came close to the fire Scaterd Few was igniting. And nothing came within a country mile of the punk vibe of these primal songs.  \u003cstrong\u003e (Doug Peterson \/ Music Critic)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1983 Side\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGave Us Life ('83 Studio) \u003cbr\u003eUntitled \u003cbr\u003eDeath \u003cbr\u003eEcho \u003cbr\u003eSin Face \u003cbr\u003eP.T.T.C.P \u003cbr\u003eThe End \u003cbr\u003eAnti - I'm Right \u003cbr\u003eAnti Ape \u003cbr\u003etid bit \u003cbr\u003eDeath\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1984 Side\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003etid bit\u003cbr\u003eP.T.T.C.P.\u003cbr\u003eGave Us Life\u003cbr\u003eAnti Ape\u003cbr\u003eAnti - I’m Right\u003cbr\u003etid bit\u003cbr\u003eRatzak at the Beach \u003cbr\u003e(the beach continued)\u003cbr\u003eSolo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBONUS TRACKS (The Aspects - Allan’s band in Guatemala City circa 1981)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith Him\u003cbr\u003eKnock, Knock\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0dF2H5i9qJI\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScaterd Few – Jawboneofanass (1994)\u003cbr\u003eRRCD1645 Scaterd Few - JawboneofAnAss CD 732131700770\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE ALBUM\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eNext in the Scaterd Blüe box (refer to the Sin Disease Gold Disc or Vinyl reissue for chronological order) is a chapter of epic proportions. Jawboneofanass may not be the eclectic cacophony that Sin Disease was. But as we all know, Scaterd Few never put out the same album twice. It is in this stoical persistence to keep evolving that birthed an album like this one. Jawboneofanass took three separate recording stints before a finished product emerged, explaining four years elapsed for the album to materialize. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis album has a quintessential line-up of Allan Aguirre, Paul Figueroa, Drew Domkus, Omar Domkus and Samuel West. Omar rips it up masterfully on bass, Figueroa throws down guitar with precision and fluidity, and Sam West owns drum finesse as only Sam can. There is also nearly an all-star cast participating: Jyro of Mortal, Eric Clayton of Saviour Machine, Edie Goodwin of Headnoise, all on background vocals, as well as Mark Rodriguez (Mortal, The Blamed, Aunt Betties, Lost Dogs, etc.) recording and Dave Hackbarth (The Choir, Prayer Chain, etc.) editing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForty-five seconds into the first cut Witchcraft, one can experience transcendence from a band that understands their alchemy. That transcendence does not let up, dancing between the rhapsodic Sinking In Sorrow to the sinuous balladry of Dame, and ending with Pinnacle, a fast wielding number rebuking corrupted spiritual leaders. There within the album are twelve indispensable cuts of dark and weighty content played with reggae-infused punk likened to Bad Brains, with whom Scaterd Few played backing band for their singer . The funk and rhythm of Oom Pah Pah serves as kudos to their comradery. Another point of intrigue is the ballad Once Upon…, narrating a veiled tale of biographical nature with references to Godsent Humans and Native Son (Mark Solomon’s hip-hop project).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf by chance you did not receive Jawboneofanass with the ecstatic welcome as Sin Disease, give it another listen.

This album dabbles in the otherness and identity of those following God through the imagery of “alienation in an alien nation.” In my ears Grandmother’s Spaceship does not wield the same intensity as the first two Scaterd Few albums, though it is a colorful and energized soundscape in its own ranks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the manic indie rock Space Junk, Aguirre screams out in triplicate “How can you believe in a God that…” with three different barely audible indictments aligned to cyber-age intelligentsia argumentation. The song ends with: “Is it harder to see the pure simplicity of you and me are waves and micros redefining the free when cyber-space defines your reality?” Strong imagery to open the album. Win The Fisher is reminiscent of the Primus bass-guitar interplay. Lyrically, it is subpar, which is rare form for Aguirre.\u003cbr\u003eLike Space Junk, Arbitrator is thematically apologetic. Quoting from Psalm 119 and the book of Amos, amongst other biblical references, this track extracts the detail humanity is made in as well as the humility that humanity would be better off to embrace. Species declares that “God was broken from death, was woken, became the Token for human kind species, filled with anti-matter.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncorruptible is credited to all three members playing on the album. Musically it has the force and delivery of bands in the Soundgarden vein, as identified in its wall of thick guitar. Next up, Vanishing is a roaming track with some beefy riffage and gang vocals, and then it outros into three minutes of a reggae jam with vocals of praise echoing into the atmosphere. It is in these eclectic ventures that good songs become timeless in leaving lasting impressions that can be revisited decades later. Brilliant stuff. \u003cbr\u003eSuspension My Love kicks out the jams with some funkified rock not far removed from the Red Hot Chillie Peppers. It features a cool and eerie vocal delivery that brings it back to the alien theme.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pinnacle of the album finds itself in the rampaging Bobby’s Song about a boy whose grandma had an extra-terrestrial visit. Scaterd Few does not dismiss these mysteries but are more centered on “the Light of Truth Eternal upon the mysteries found in this song.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWorm Hole is a crazy fast number written by the guitarist on this album, Russell Archer. Man, can that guy play! Splendor, also written by Archer, again explores other-worldliness through the imagery of the Sons of God being revealed: “But we ourselves are yearning, Creatures who hope for what we have not patiently, … Body redemption … By our adoption … Future splendor.” Maybe no one told you to bring a theological dictionary to the Scaterd Few listening party but it would not hurt at this juncture. \u003cbr\u003eOn the prior Sin Disease the epic ballad As The Story Grows always felt unfinished in its brevity. That snippet of a ballad now finds its continuation with the Bowie-esque As The Story Grows V.2, this album’s closer. It completes the song well, also bringing summation to the alien\/alienation theme.       \u003cstrong\u003e(Doug Peterson \/ Music Critic)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpace Junk \u003cbr\u003eLullaby \u003cbr\u003eWin The Fisher \u003cbr\u003eArbitrator \u003cbr\u003eFuture Love \u003cbr\u003eSpecies \u003cbr\u003eIncorruptible \u003cbr\u003eVanishing \u003cbr\u003eSuspension My Love... \u003cbr\u003eBobby's Song \u003cbr\u003eTwinkling Of An Eye \u003cbr\u003eWorm Hole \u003cbr\u003eSplendor \u003cbr\u003eAs The Story Grows V.2 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScaterd Few – Omega No. 5 (2002)\u003cbr\u003eRRCD1653 Scaterd Few - Omega No. 5 CD 732131700695\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE ALBUM\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAfter going on hiatus from bands and albums for four years, Allan came back in 2002 with his own label Accidental Sirens and two albums. The first of the albums was \u003cem\u003eOmega No. 5\u003c\/em\u003e, slated as Scaterd Few’s parting shot. Allan imported members from the Dallas band Greyskull to record and tour the album. Bringing in an accomplished guitarist and bassist allowed for a virtuoso return to the uninhibited spirit that made Scaterd Few’s music legendary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking flight from the starting gate, \u003cem\u003eRun If You Can\u003c\/em\u003e echoes the energy and vibe found on \u003cem\u003eKill The Sarx \u003c\/em\u003eoff of \u003cem\u003eSin Disease\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cem\u003eResistance\u003c\/em\u003e, a no-nonsense admonishment to resist the games played by corporate bloodsuckers, keeps the musical trajectory at full throttle. Next, \u003cem\u003eFair Is He\u003c\/em\u003e, another one hovering at warp speed, is a play on the word “pharisee:” “Coursing veins of contradiction, Seeking whom to heap affliction, Fruitful is your dereliction, Let’s go have a crucifixion.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust after four songs of fast relentless punk, the apocalyptic \u003cem\u003eRise Up!\u003c\/em\u003e  switches gears to tasty hope-filled reggae. Then four more fast and furious cuts sung and slung rapid fire, addressing topics of family, carnality and worldly wealth. Then another reggae number, \u003cem\u003eTomorrow,\u003c\/em\u003e chimes in, this time a more traditional variant. This jovial number describes in lush detail the imagery of the afterlife experience of a faithful believer. Such an under-rated song.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOnly\u003c\/em\u003e hearkens the listener back to the \u003cem\u003eSin Disease\u003c\/em\u003e familial \u003cem\u003eU\u003c\/em\u003e. It’s a spirited song with a reminder that Jesus is “the only friend you need that will see you all the way.” \u003cem\u003eSheol\u003c\/em\u003e, a dark and lurid soundscape, precedes the punk closer of \u003cem\u003eSecret – Secret\u003c\/em\u003e, a UK-flavored rampage on the travesty of sleeping with the corruption that will bring about destruction. The Outro on the end is a short segment from \u003cem\u003eKill The Sarx II (Apocalypse), a\u003c\/em\u003en appropriate way to sign off on the Scaterd Few legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI am reluctant to declare \u003cem\u003eOmega No. 5\u003c\/em\u003e as \u003cem\u003eSin Disease Part II\u003c\/em\u003e, though the references and similarities are intact. Some of the compositions on \u003cem\u003eOmega No. 5\u003c\/em\u003e could have benefitted from an outside ear, as the album sounds a tad analogous. Though with these songs remastered and repackaged, it is an amazing album to revisit. The song writing is more accessible than previous SF albums, and the in-your-face punk fare still bears freshness and vitality over twenty years later.   \u003cstrong\u003e(Doug Peterson \/ Music Critic)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Run If You Can\u003cbr\u003e2 Resistance\u003cbr\u003e3 Fair Is He\u003cbr\u003e4 This Is...\u003cbr\u003e5 Rise Up!\u003cbr\u003e6 Parental Advisory\u003cbr\u003e7 Anybody - Everybody\u003cbr\u003e8 Shark Attack\u003cbr\u003e9 Camel Crawl\u003cbr\u003e10 Tomorrow\u003cbr\u003e11 Only\u003cbr\u003e12 Sleeper\u003cbr\u003e13 Life Bleeds Out\u003cbr\u003e14 Sheol\u003cbr\u003e15 Secret - Secret\u003cbr\u003e16 Outro\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GXsQJle3CsA\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boone's Overstock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51705188385014,"sku":"mdo1789819116572","price":33.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/4907\/6470\/files\/scaterd-blue-box-set---6-remastered-cds6-ltd-collector-cardsautographed-lithogra_1.jpg?v=1789819144","url":"https:\/\/intentionalcladfit.shop\/products\/scaterd-blue-box-set-6-remastered-cds6-ltd-collector-cardsautographed-lithograph-print-16-bonus-tr","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
