Ah, Highpoint's first release way back in the summer of 2001, good times! Basically a collection of San Francisco friends and friends of friends working on fine music, from the dream pop shoegaze of the Stratford 4 and The Jim Yoshi Pileup, through the gnarly rock of Replicator and Caesura, the soft electronic whisperings of Sappington and Brian And Chris, the off-kilter something of Boxleitner, side projects by all the members of Tarentel, a work from Wobbly under the pseudonym of Brindle Spork, the dub house sound of Broker/Dealer, and many other fine characters spread over a double disc compilation.

"Based in San Francisco, Highpoint Lowlife Records just released their flagship 2CD comp entitled Tired of Standing Still. I can.t tell you much about these guys but I can tell you that Tired totally rocks! 27 tracks culled mostly from local Frisco bands.anyone into the more organic/electronic Thrill Jockey or Kranky sound would do well to pick up this comp. Sounding like a mishmash of shoegazers vs. laptop jockeys, some highlights include the hypnotic but all-too-short .Near Death. by a group called The Evening and the lonely-as-fuck melancholy of .2021/sill. from newcomers Your Friend." Vice Magazine.

"Hipsters filled with unrequited love take note: if you're looking to make a new mixed CD-R to accompany your anguish, go out and get the 2-CD 'Tired of Standing Still' compilation instead. It showcases a slew of US slowcore and post-rock/electronica bands whose songs would make great backing music to your predicament." Sonomu.net
