Another prime band from the rising age of recycling, Jessamine issued a seductive experimental blend of noise, drone, and electronica with occasional buried psychedelic space-pop hooks. Secret is a double-album compilation of nine tracks recorded by Jessamine in 1994; tracks A1-C2 are from their first album Jessamine, while the extended psych-trip D1 was released on the space-rock triple-album compilation Harmony Of The Spheres (Drunken Fish Records DFR-25, 1996).
