专辑介绍：
早在签约4AD之前的Mountain Goats基本上是John Darnielle自弹自唱的个人乐队，音乐风格更倾向于Lo-Fi，情绪上和表达上也因为更加的直接坦白而更有力度，常常大段大段的直抒情怀（听这种音乐至少能将你的郁闷一扫而空），John Darnielle这种毫不做作的诚实的音乐风格为他赢得了非常众多的拥护者。2002年在3 Beads of Sweat厂牌下发行了3张系列精选专辑——《Protein Source of the Future》、《Bitter Melon Farm》、《Ghana》（可惜本人只有后面两张），几乎收录了他之前的所有的非录音室作品，包括出现在合辑、盒带中的曲目、单曲和一些稀有的Demo和现场版本。可以说是对4AD之前的Mountain Goats一次全面的总结，为乐迷们节省了很多收集的时间和精力。
The second in the compilation series of compilation, singles, and tape-only efforts by John Darnielle and associated others, Bitter Melon Farm is a dream of a release, like its predecessor, Protein Source of the Future, almost effortlessly showing Darnielle's talent and his songs' worth. As with the first, the liner notes are as entertaining and thoughtful as the tunes themselves (his Spandau Ballet fetish continues, said band being mentioned not once but twice, the second time being his thought that the Transmissions to Horace tape should have just been a dubbed copy of True). Darnielle and acoustic guitar once more dominate the proceedings, and his ear for finding many attractive variations on that approach remains clear; consider the near-whine over the brisk run of "Against Agamemnon" versus the reflective, soft melancholy and remembrance of "Snow Song" and the soaring chorus on "Pure Intentions." Transmissions to Horace itself takes up ten songs out of 27 on the collection, and while Darnielle is a bit embarrassed over the praise that tape has received, it is a fine listen, topped off with a warm, lovely cover of the Commodores' "Sail On." Another cover concludes Bitter Melon Farm, a revamp of Ace of Base's early-'90s confection "The Sign" that helps demonstrate once again that those who scoff at songs for succeeding commercially could easily miss out on some beautiful art. More winners from the liner notes: talking about his first single, "Songs for Petronius": "I am aware of a few
people who think this is as close to perfection as I've come. These are the same people who think that Suede was possibly the greatest band in the world when they were just playing in small clubs around London but became the worst band in the world as soon as they released their first single." ~ Ned Raggett, ----All Music Guide

洛基山山羊（Mountain Goats）：
血缘更接近亚洲羚羊， 全身长长年白毛配上一对光滑黑角，只有靠缠在母羊脚边的小羊，区分山羊性别。与糜鹿、大角羊相较，山羊比较孤僻。特殊构造的蹄，让山羊得以在高山悬崖行走自如，因而谷地少见，通常出没在山区的雪线与森林之间，只有春天雪融之际，山羊"下凡"舔食矿物质，才有机会仔细观察。山悬崖是山羊的天然护卫，偶而金鹰冲向悬崖夺走羔羊，雪崩、落石及饥荒反而是山羊天敌。杰士伯南边37公里的冰原大道边及冰原北边的山瓦普塔峡谷，库特尼国家公园附近黑克特峡谷的渥道貌岸然山是山羊较常出没的地区。
