by Lining Time
(Shadow World Editorial Records, LP, DL)
The only album recorded by a group of five women students going by the name of Lining Time in 1982, is simplicity itself: mostly voices, percussion in the form of woodblocks, a bit of acoustic guitar, all that perhaps its closest landmark is not all the postpunk feminist rock around in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but the 1976-77 recordings from the Langley Schools Music Project, in which Canadian children sang songs by David Bowie, Klaatu, The Carpenters and Barry Manilow.
