THE TRASH COMPANY, the band led by MAX E. MONROE, who reportedly holed up in a decaying, massive hotel in downtown Richmond while continuing to make music. Though FUNKADELIC is often cited as an influence, what he produced was low-fi and utterly one-of-a-kind, mysterious music. "MIND GAME" is an early-'90s demo recording released in 2014 by PPU, who continue to unearth his material. A one-sided release that looks to be promo-only. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
