Description/Reviews:
This is basically The Muffins with friends. When The Muffins weren't rehearsing, they were jamming and recording with friends. Illegal Aliens became one of the offshoot groups that they used as a vehicle for stretching out in the music, having fun with it. These are live and studio recordings from 1974 - 1981 from both the original Buba Flirf Muffin house in Gaithersburg, Maryland where Chronometers was recorded and the Portree house in Rockville, Maryland where Manna/Mirage was recorded.
