Ultimate Alternative Wavers (1993) There's Nothing Wrong with Love (1994)

Ultimate Alternative Wavers was the first full-length album released by indie rock band Built to Spill. The line-up consisted of Doug Martsch on guitar and vocals, Brett Netson on guitar and bass, and Ralf Youtz on drums, although there was some variation in instrumentation on a few tracks. The album was recorded at Audio Lab in Boise, Idaho in the fall of 1992, and released in 1993 on the C/Z Records label. It eventually went out-of-print, but was re-released in late 2006. The song title 'Nowhere Nothin' Fuckup' is the title of a song by the main character, James Tarverner, in Philip K. Dick's Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said.
