Sleepytime Trio's sound brings to mind a vision of a world verging on chaos only to be held together by the slimmest measure of order. A tour de force, Memory Minus shows a group bent on distilling their volatility into calculated fury and bravado. This album is a collection of Sleepytime Trio's total work, including their 12" EP on Lovitt, various 7"s, and compilation appearances, as well as several live shows from their European tour in 1997. First released in 1998, Lovitt released a remixed and remastered version in 2004 for better audio quality.
