British guitar pop group the Windmills follow in the footsteps of such great guitar pop bands like the House of Love, the Weather Prophets, the Go-Betweens, and Lloyd Cole and the Rattlesnakes.

ALLMUSIC Pyramid Landing and Other Favorites collects Robert Schneider‘s pre-Apples (in stereo) four-track recordings, cut between 1992 and 1993.
