Mr. Microcosm was the first CD put out by Milwaukee, WI band Compound Red in 1993 following four self released cassettes and one 7". One of only two full-length albums the band would ever release, Mr. Microcosm is much heavier then its predecessor, which would follow 5 years later after a change in vocalist. Between the two albums the band put out a handful of 7" splits and singles.
Personally, I prefer John Lyman's vocals (the singer on this CD) to those of Greg Steffke who would sing on the bands final split 7" and album. Not to discredit Steffke, I still sincerely enjoy the band's final effort, but nothing matches Lyman's wailing (timestamped to my favorite part) on the Peter Pan's Shadow B/W 20 Miles Up There Is No Air 7".
