Sure, he has put out some great releases and anyone with two opposing thumbs and still breathing knows his taste is exceptional. However, it\u2019s releases like the reissue of Sacramento band The Twinkeyz\u2019s record\u00a0<em>Alpha Jerk<\/em>\u00a0that prove Sacramento had a fertile music scene dating well back to the \u201970s.\u00a0<em>Alpha Jerk<\/em>\u00a0suffered greatly from a shitty mastering job when it was released in 1979. Thankfully, ex-KDVS alumni and audiophile Karl Ikola worked alongside Twinkeyz member Donnie Jupiter on this remixed and remastered version. The end result is a delicious, psyche-warping platter way ahead of its time. If tracks like \u201cAliens In Our Midst\u201d or the equally awkward \u201cCartoonland\u201d don\u2019t make you reach for the volume knob (to turn up, of course), perhaps a couple of Valiums and some red wine would help you settle into their state of mind. The pairing of Soriano and Ikola alone is worth the price of this limited edition vinyl. Tell \u2018em Submerge sent you and don\u2019t ask for a discount. This shit is golden.
