Back in 1998, Not Lame released a 9 song album from Wanderlust, a band cast aside from their label. Wanderlust`s CD, "Prize" set many areas of the US afire and sold close to 40,000 copies. The single "I Walked" was all over the radio in `95 and the CD was called "one of the greatest rock records of all time" -London Time and "Power Pop at its best" -MOJO. And then they were promptly dropped by the label. The Pennsylvania band was the one of more accomplished, polished and talented of pop bands on the scene back then. On these two discs...for the first time..are the songs written and recorded at the very beginning of the band`s formation and at the very end of their 5-year span. This is material that will have knees weak and mouths agape.
"Wanderlust`s lack of recognition remains a vexing frustration, magnified all the more by Not Lame`s "Lust And Found" which boasts more than two dozen heretofore unreleased nuggets..it`s hard to understand why these weren`t deemed worthy of official release; these implied album rejects are far and away better than much of the other material other artists opt to offer up for the light of day. There`s an immediacy to the tracks that allows an instant connection, a durable, yet embracing, power pop physique that adroitly blends irresistible melodies and surefire choruses, jangly guitars and soaring vocal interplay..an indelible imprint that`s still stunning."-Amplifier.
"Rickenbackers a-go-go, laid back, mellow, hazy summer harmonies...from the soulful side of The Beatles refracted thru the West Coast sounds of The Beau Brummels and the heavy rock spectacular of early Deep Purple" -MOJO. That is their sound folks! They have a rare melodic drive in the classic rock sense but they draw little blood in the fury of their emotional, spine tingling guitar attack. The pop equivalent of a good, hard game of "Dodge Ball"! "Colossal slabs of supreme power pop...a great pop beast and the immediacy of this album`s best melodies are irresistible" -Big O.
