The Spill Label, Greg Wadley's indie label, spent much of the 1990s compiling tracks by Australian indie bands (that's real indie bands, ones without marketing budgets or commercial sponsorship) and releasing them on a set of cassette and CD compilations. They've now
made these compilations available for download in MP3 format. This includes Spill 1, 2 and 3, as well as
the Box compilation of bands covering TV theme songs (which has some quality material) and the Kraftworks compilation (no prizes for guessing what this is), and includes material by artists such as
Clag,
Clowns Smiling Backwards,
Small World Experience,
Minimum Chips, various projects involving the likes of Laura Macfarlane and Guy Blackman and, of course,
New Waver.
