This was the third and final release I did on Ragamuffin Soldier Records. This release came out in a CD and a double LP format. The vinyl contained 17 additional songs. This release was a collection of the band's first three releases which were originally released in cassette format. Mexican Power Authority are a band from Victoria that feature Kev Smith of the legendary Neos and Jason Flowers who is the person behind Surpeme Echo that has been doing all these great re-issues. I have heard the band described as a cross between Napalm Death and John Coltraine. They can be genre expending to say the least, but these early three releases contain a lot of the Neos flavour.
