Spec Records

I don't know if this record is a proper release or some kind of obituary. It contains 3 tracks from pragVEC, 7 by Spec Records and 3 by other groups but the personal is nearly always the same. I guess the idea was that because the tracks are so different they sound like they were recorded by different groups. On their website there is an interview with Jim Thirlwell of Foetus fame who was a member of pragVEC at that time where he says that being a member of pragVEC was such a bad experience that he decided to go solo. Probably to much democracy and discussion during practice sessions?
