Space Negros Discography of CDs

Space Negros CD discography The third and final volume of the Space Negros' Dig Archaeology series of rare and unreleased tracks isn't the bottom of the barrel by any means, but it's more of an Erik Lindgren family tree release than it is a proper Space Negros collection. Besides Lindgren's primary outlet, this volume also includes tracks from his synth poppy side project, Family Fun (all five tracks from their sole release, 1981's generically-packaged Record), a previously unreleased work by Lindgren's comparatively serious chamber music outlet, Birdsongs of the Mesozoic, called "Booze Thang Meets the Wired Chain Gals" (we did say comparatively serious), and several ...
