About the album

Greg Sage formed Wipers in Portland, Oregon in the late 70s and ran the band entirely on his own terms, recording at home, avoiding the music business and quietly influencing half of the grunge generation along the way. Land Of The Lost, from 1986, was made at his 421 Sound studio and has all the hallmarks: driving rhythms, layered, chiming guitars and Sage's restless, searching voice.

"Just A Dream Away", "Let Me Know" and "Different Ways" are as catchy as punk gets, and the title track and "Nothing Left To Lose" add a darker, more expansive edge. Nirvana covered Wipers more than once, which tells you a lot. Sage never cared much for fame; the people who heard him cared very much indeed.
