Three Mile Pilot- The Chief Assassin to the Sinster

Label: Headhunter

Released 1994

After San Diego's Three Mile Pilot picked up some serious steam with the bass-and-drums-only punk splendor of Na Vucca Do Lupu, they returned to the studio determined to make music that sustained the same sort of artistic experimentalism, lyrical atmospherics, and raw energy. The result -- Chief Assassin to the Sinister, released on the Headhunter/Cargo label -- was enough of a musical triumph to garner the attention of the bigwigs at Geffen, who re-released it with their blessing and additional tracks before abruptly dropping the fiercely independent group as quickly as it had embraced them.
