I have no idea if any of their music is on CD, but I should point out that "Orbit," which is their only power pop song (and one of my favorite songs of all time) is actually superior in its single edit (which is also on the US LP, which is a compilation of two of their Canadian LPs.)

i remember, whilst a teenager in the late 70's, devouring that Power Pop issue of Bomp magazine, and have spent pretty much since then trying to track down the discs Greg Shaw and Ken Barnes recomended or cited, of which, Thundermug's "Orbit" was one of them....
Of course, in suburban Philadelphia where I grew up, it wasn't like this stuff was hanging around, but when i FINALLY found a promo 45 on Epic, I beleive, of that song, I remember thinking, well, it's kinda catchy, tho not earth shattering........still, it ain't too bad, and I do pull it out from time to time for kicks!!!
Anyone out there been listening to Sam Robert's new release "Chemical City"? The song "The Gate" is AWESOME!!! I heard on Little Steven's Sirius broadcast of Underground Garage a few months ago, and it's a GREAT GREAT tune!!!!
And Pay*Ola from Ireland is pretty cool too!
