The second volume of Tiny Idols looks to the very deep underground of indie pop from 1995 (where Tiny Idols left off) to the end of the millennium. This one seems deeper under the radar. As the first set of gems taught us, just because no one's ever heard of it -- with the possible exception of the musicians and their families -- doesn't mean it's not worthwhile. The Nuggets compilations offered that point of wisdom a long, long time ago. There is a beautiful Van Dyke Parks meets Anglo-futurism on Suede Chain's "Departure and Arrival," the garagey and sexy "Three Times a Day," by Chantigs, Mazarin's amazingly sophisticated and charming "Wheats," the angular "Neptune Drive," with a singer who sounds eerily like Gary Numan, and Madison Electric's faux psychedelic"Heavy Petal."
