Now OUT-OF-PRINT, How The West Was Won was released in LP, CASS and CD formats. Wounded World was released as a VIDEO directed by Michael Burlingame.

This page is mainly for ROGER MILLER's adventures at HEADROOM Studios recording NO MAN and XYLYL and various guest appearances with OBE and other Bill T Miller related bands.

Bill T Miller met Roger when OBE DRUMMER ANDY DECKARD started playing percussion with NO MAN on the previous Whamon Express CD.

Roger played (guitar, keyboards, percussion and voice) mainly on OBE songs, but also appears on DRUM ARMY, KINGS OF FEEDBACK, and ORGY OF NOISE releases.

ALL MUSIC GUIDE REVIEW: ...How the West Was Won is probably the strongest album of Roger Miller's No Man period. Retaining the song-oriented forthrightness of Win! Instantly! and Whamon Express, the album also adds a stronger dose of the edgy experimentalism of Miller's more avant-garde projects. Tape loops, sped-up voices, and other bits of sonic weirdness decorate nearly all the songs, but they're almost never the main focus. Instead, Miller works them into the arrangements in ways that enhance the songs, like the way the jagged, post-punk guitar solos clash interestingly with the futuristic gallop of the lengthy "Grabbed Star," or how the subtle electronics and tape loops add a chilly gloss to the passionately urgent chorus of "Boomerang." Mixing electronics and guitars in a way that was patently unfashionable at the dawn of grunge, How the West Was Won nonetheless holds up much better than most of the more commercially successful alternative albums of its era .

In addition to recording NO MAN (How The West Was Won) and XYLYL at Headroom with Bill T Miller (BTM) as engineer/co-producer, assorted TV and film projects for MTV, Cartoon Network, HBO, Sesame Street, UK-Gold, soundtrack music for a shadow puppet play and an unreleased electronic piece based on a Phillip K. Dick book were recorded.

Roger and Clint Conley (Mission Of Burma - Consonant) recorded two songs at their own personal studios and brought them into HEADROOM to be mixed with Bill T Miller. This reunion collaboration was released as a 7-inch on Remora Records in 1994 under the band name WRONG PIPE.
