Actually ROM have at least one release on vinyl (Rotondi) and everything is also available on CD, but they first came to my attention as a tape outfit, and this is where they fit best.  Their first two All-Ears Reviews are wonderful compilations of music from independent labels; what so-called college or non-formatted radio stations would sound like if they lived up to their promises, instead of selling their souls to Hollywood’s version of progress and prostituting themselves for the music director’s post-college career.  ROM’s other releases are an interesting collection of high quality musical gems that are too distinctive for major label homogenization processing.

                                                     — Jonathan E.
