The Corvairs never made much of an impact nationwide, but the band was among Colorado’s hottest new-wave acts in the late ’70s and early ’80s, and Denver Sessions ’79 perfectly captures the era. The music can be goofy at times — “T.V.” interpolates the theme to The Munsters — and the recording quality is rather primitive (for information, visit www.newwave.50megs.com). Still, songs like “Hands of Time” and “Surf Noir” perfectly capture the spirit of the times.
