an contribute to this thread.
this is a freakin brilliant album, and i searched and it seems that it has not yet been posted...
SONORHC-PURF, LP, 1972, FRANCE


 

 


This transcendent acid-induced genre-blurring masterwork is one of the greatest undiscovered treasures from the French underground, with plangent ethno-tinged Agitation Free cum Alain Markusfeld acid rock, watery improvisations, dreamy bits of Bo Hansson-like sympho prog wistfulness and freeform acid freakouts somewhat like passages of Love Live Life + 1 all not only sharing space but seeming like the most natural of bedfellows in Sonorhc's uncanny universe. A total mindbomb. Their second LP "Outrelande" will follow shortly.

Hungry Ghosts - Eponymous 4 track EP

http://rapidshare.com/files/48993350...hosts.rar.html

My version seems to have a different cover to the one shown elsewhere and is number 284 of an edition of 500.

Hungry Ghosts were 'discovered' by Steve Shelley on SY's 1998 tour of Australia, and he helped them release an album called 'Alone Alone'. This EP pre-dates their 'discovery' by about a year.

Review from terrascope.org:-

"Hungry Ghosts' eponymous EP starts off with 'Three Sisters.' A violin runs through some Morrocan sounding scales, squeeze box and xylophone adds to the sawing sound until it's like a Tom Waits funeral dirge. The band are Australian, and this is produced by ex-Birthday Party member Roland S. Howard. 'Africa' is a clanging metaphor for disturbing incidents which go unreported amongst the pipes at the backs of factories. 'Fly' adds acoustic guitar to the recipe, which perversely recommends that this hot spicy dish be served cold: Freezing tombstone elegies delivered by people with life and fire in their veins. 'Love Song' lifts the heavy atmosphere at the end with a lovely workout sounding like Simon Jeffes of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra forced to busk with Spanish street musicians for his air fare home."

Main - Hydra Calm

http://rapidshare.com/files/49004919/Main.rar.html

 


Hydra-Calm, collecting their two eps on cd, is the sound of rock losing its focus, the point where its physicality finally surrenders itself to corruption and gives way. It's a glorious decomposition, the dissolution of signal into noise, and the collapse of perception into the sourceless quiver of hallucination. Main are at on extremity, the blurred terrain at the very edge of your field of vision. They're a phenomenological anomaly, on untraceable report as if their deep-space probes have become infected via transmission, saturated with fluctuating static. Whatever uncharted location they're beaming from, they always bring their distance with them. There Is Only Light barely holds its centre, its core of rhythmic pulses effusing into whorls of superfluous noise, a parasitic brilliance fading in and out of range like irradiated particles swarming around their host. Remain is no less compelling, trembling across unmodulated frequencies as is withdraws into its own density. This isn't wasted rock, but the wastes of rock, its desolate aftershock.

An old friend of mine engineered that album and played on the wind tube track. It's got a few good songs on it, especially the first one.

You're a total star. I soooo love this kind of records, I have a couple of the early Dutch electronic music series ones, and quite a nice little collection of the Italian RAI tv stations' workshop recordings from about the same time of the one you've just posted or earlier. This is fascinating and superb stuff. Many thanks again.

Masato Minami-Kaikisen (The Tropics)

1971 Japan Folk Rock

another japanese Folk Rock Gem with some blues
somewhat related to Happy End and even to Les Rallizes Denudes
because Haruomi Hosono(Happy End) plays Bass Guitar
and Takashi Mizutani(Les Rallizes Denudes) plays some guitar on this album
best track is imho the 7 minute+ Hateshinai Nagare ni Saku Mune Ipai no Ai
wHich also was on the Anthology Of Japanese New Folk compilation

information on this
artist & album is sparse
and never saw this on slsk, so it seems to be quite rare in the western world
but here follows some more i could find:

 


Born in Tokyo in 1944. In 1964, while studying Spanish at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies he took off to Mexico. For two years he traveled throughout the United States and Europe. He started singing in the late 1960s, and made his debut with Jyan and Aoi Omokage in 1969. In 1971, he released the album, Kaikisen, which reached gold status but did not follow the folk music trend of the times, deciding to develop his own musical actvities. In 1988, he created the Inochi-no-Matsuri (Festival for Life). Thereafter, Inochi-no-Matsuri in Chang Mai, Thailand also took place in 1997 and 2002. Fall in 2003, he recorded his latest songs on themes like Love, Peace, life, Earth, Universe, and a Vision to Unfold the Future...and will continue to travel with his guitar strapped to his back.

DEATH SS- Evil Metal 7"EP (Metal Eye, Italy, 1984)


As promised (check the Paul Chain Violet Theatre post), here’s the mysterious and collectible DEATH SS 7″ from 1984.
I’m sure, everybody familiar with the work of italian band GOBLIN and movies such as “Suspiria” or “Profondo Rosso” from Dario Argento or slashers like “Anthropophagus” and the many italian Zombie movies of the late 70s and early 80s will get the vibe from this 7″. Totally morbid and sickly-sweet, walking on the edge between kitsch and glory. Just outstanding and very, very timeless.
The little I know of this 7″: Due to the bad pressing (or rather mastering), it got withdrawn immediately or more likely, never was on sale. Rumor has it, there are only a few dozen around. I used to have a friend (the same guy with coke and jellybear diet and the “Charles Manosn is innocent” writing on his leather jacket, btw), who was so fanaticly into this band that he spent a lot of money in buying off all remaining copies of “Evil Metal” cause he wanted to be the only person in the world who has this, haha. Don’t remember clearly how many he collected, but he had a few of them.
You might ask yourself now, what the hell does the band name mean? Well, I have no idea, but I remember reading Paul Chain in an interview, saying that it didn’t have anything to do with the historical SS (nationalsocialist paramilitary group) and that Chain said of himself to be coming from a left radical background, actually.
Now you know that writing funny things with silver ink on black leather jackets was very hip in the Switzerland underground scene of the early 80s. I used to have the DEATH SS logo on the back of my leather jacket, followed by a huge VENOM “Welcome to Hell” pentagram and DRI, COC, ANTIDOTE, SLAYER etc. (good bad music for life). One day, a nazi skin crossed my way and tapped me on my shoulder. I was scared cause I used to get beat up quite often for my looks back then and had lost 2 denim jackets with stickers already: We called that “getting stripped”, when normally Teds or Rockers would grab your jacket and tear it apart, cause they felt kids shouldn’t walk around like that. So I thought, fuck, now I’m getting my shit from a nazi (he was a huge mofo). To my surprise, he grinned at me like a school girl, asking me if I wanted to go for a beer. No, I said, I’m not homosexual (I was 15 or 16). He stopped grinning and walked off. Just like that. So i walked my way too, questioning myself what the hell just happened here - until I told about it to an older Punk friend of mine, who I met at the local record shop. He just laughed, tears in his eyes and pointed on the DEATH SS-logo on the back of my leather jacket. That’s how I became antifascist.
On Soulseek, you’ll find a rip of this in which somebody has tried to fix the pressing mistake. Unfortunately, the drop outs are still there, though a little less penetrating than on the vinyl. I’m sure that somebody with the necessary experience and software could make this sound much better. Drop me a line if you need wav-files!


And finally - as a bonus I also ripped DEATH SS’ best song, the incredible and never topped “Black and Violet” from the ultra rare “Heavy Metal Eruption” comp LP. That leaves only one more comp song to be digitized and that is the song “Terror” from a promo-only comp LP.
Check the band photo (left) from this comp - crazy bastards.
Chains of Death.mp3
Inquisitor.mp3
Schizophrenic.mp3
From “Heavy Metal Eruption - The italian Way of Heavy Metal” (1984):
Black and Violet.mp3
PS: On a side note, one must add that this is the ultimate “hearing things out” record. For instance, in the beginning of “inqusitor”, Chain probably sings:
“It’s rusty tea, and it’s sanctus seven, full torn bloath and really hard, humble toes and holy hosses, guess it’s time for roll away (…)”

Kendra Smith 'The Guild Of Temporal Adventurers' 10" (1992)
I often like to worship at the alter of Kendra Smith, this EP being one of my favorite stops. Himilayan bells, colliope, magic mushrooms and Kendra's relaxed delivery. Just stare at the cover for a psychedelic trip. After the sublime Dream Syndicate she moved on to Opal and solo works. She hasn't released a record since 1995. Apparently living in a small cabin with no electricity.

Swell Maps 'Collision Time Revisited' (1989)
A "swell" compilation of 27 tracks culled from the Swell Maps entire recorded output 1977-1984. From punk to post-punk to experimental noise-fests, these Maps deliver!
The first Swell Maps single I bought (Let's Buid A Car) still to this day gives me a soul scorched buzz'n'rush. As soon as Nikki Sudden's gr comes slicing slabbing and all out fuzzifying off that crackling vinyl groove you know yr gonna rock. The Swell Maps had a lot to do with my upbringing... I wish I saw them. - Thurston Moore... Sonic Youth - 1987

Angel Dust: Music For Movie Bikers (1988)
A bad-ass compilation put together by UK artist Savage Pencil featuring superfuzzed "biker" tracks from Davie Allan and The Arrows and others recorded between 1966-70. The music is tied together with banter from bikers films (thus making it a gapless album in spots). The packaging is a real beauty, nice gatefold sleeve and picture disc vinyl. Angels die hard!

Thanks, Florya. I always meant to get that album and I have always been curious about it.

I also highly recommend that Kendra Smith 10" porky posted. An alltime favorite. I have covered one of the songs on that record both solo and band-style. Love it.

Thanks SC. I'll give it a listen.

Savage Clone 08.17.2007 03:29 PM

I wish I had a USB turntable or a CD recorder unit so I could pass along some stuff from the stacks here. Soon I will get some gear for this purpose, I think.

Edit:
Porky, is this weird phasing on the Death SS the way it actually sounds?
I like the songs a lot, but it sounds kinda weird.

La Muerte - And The Mystery Goes On..... (1985)

http://rapidshare.com/files/49720496...es_On.rar.html

I thought I'd drag this little gem kicking and screaming from the recesses of my record collection into the baleful stare of the SY forum.
La Muerte were from Belgium, and they sound like a cross between The Birthday Party and The Stooges.
Heroes or Villains? You decide.

Sorry for any clicks or pops, but it's vinyl and it's old.

Edward Gorey Rocks Out!


http://invisiblerecordarchive.blogspot.com/


 


Michael Mantler - The Hapless Child

Now that I've got this new software figured out, let me drop that bomb I've been waiting to get up here. This is a tough one to find, released in a small run on a custom label in 1976.

Sure, it's under Mantler's name, but this is an Edward Gorey record, too. He wrote the words and drew the pictures. And it's a Robert Wyatt record, because he sings the words. In a way, it's a Terje Rypdal album, because his guitar playing dominates the arrangements. Of course, this is to take nothing away from Carla Bley, Steve Swallow, and Jack DeJohnette, because they're here, too. A who's who of high brow jazz rock elite, huh?

My biggest gripe about this record is that the songs are written as stories, and sometimes the words don't match the music so well. But then you key in to what those words are really saying, and it all makes sense. Because those words are dark dark dark.

Yet another one of those Nurse With Wound list favorites. Speaking of which, any of you got Headmaschine? Eroc? Lily? How's about helping out, then?

The 39 Clocks - Pain It Dark

http://dorfdiscobraunsfeld.blogspot.com




 



What you hold in your hand is a most outstanding piece of German New Wave Music. Do you know about STYLE? - "THE 39 CLOCKS" do! If you saw the "CLOCKS" walking down a lonely sidewalk in a rainy night, you wouldn't think they are human of starvation (they refuse to eat). You wouldn't dare to speak to them, cause you wouldn't know, if they are out of this world. - OK, they are, but... Anyway, people who know them more closer say that they are nice intelligent guys. "THE 39 CLOCKS" reflect the now-age and have a heavy dislike against people who hurt their aesthetic feelings. But make up your own mind by listening to the music and looking at the pictures....
(liner notes 'Pain It Dark' [1981])

The Dark Tracklist:
01. Shake The Hippie
You're a loser hippie, worth less than my ass!
02. DNS
I saw Nixon in a bomber plane, drinking Cuba Libre...
03. 78 Soldier Dead
Hallucinations cross the radio waves, bombs give your face a close shave...
04. Out Of Sight
Don't see the sun's still bright, you can sense it in the night...
05.Stupid Art
You get your kicks form Warhol and Kandinsky. That's nice, but pretty worthless.
06. Test The Beat Lightbolts running down the cosa nostra, when they test the clock box age...
07. Psycho Beat
The tearing of the sax blew up the walls of innocense.
08. Twisted & Shouts
Live performance with screams & smashed glasses.
09. Radical Student Mob In Satin Boots
You know everything but the truth, just enough to clean my shoes!
10. 39 Explosion Heats
Sand is flowing out the kitchen sink, what's that?? My god!
11. A Look Into You
Grey rubber walls clock inside from the outside in...

Answer Me - New Order Rarities






 


new order. one of the most influential bands across rock and electronic based music. you can have your depeche mode, i'll take the four from manchester, england. the band came about from the remains of joy division when lead singer, ian curtis hung himself the night before they were to embark on their first ever american tour. so, three of the members were in two of the most influential bands of all time. what made new order different was how they melded electronics with their traditional rock instruments to form these perfect melodic pop songs. peter hook played his bass like a guitar player and helped to define that thumpy driving new order sound.

one of the first cassette tapes i got was 'brotherhood' which was more of a soulful effort, and then i bought 'low life' which is probably their best album. i got to see them for the 'substance' tour and then the 'technique' tour, which was their last great album. besides the popular songs that everyone seems to know from all of the 80's compilations, their catalog is full of songs that stand the test of time especially now, when you hear some of those 80's bands and think, how the hell did i like that. after reuniting and supposedly disbanding now, for good, new order like kraftwerk leaves a legacy of music that continues to push forward in the form of the artists that were influenced by their music.

here are some rare treats from my collection :

Run 2 (Extended Version)
- from 1989, this track is from the limited edition rare 12" of run2 (pictured above) which has regular and extended versions of the title track as well as mto (much too young). it's value is similar to a vintage eames LCW. the original version, 'run' is from the masterpiece 'technique'.

MTO (Much Too Young) - also, from the run2 12". i guess this is the counterpoint to 'finetime' which was once titled 'much too old'. an instrumental track that is for the collectors.

Evil Dust - a remix of 'angel dust' from the 'brotherhood' album. it's a song that was only available on some industrial compilations and possible a promo. another one for the completists.

Let's Go (Original Version) - this is a different version than the one features on the 'the best of" and does not have the vocals. it's not as poppy as the vocal version and it's taken from the salvation soundtrack from 1988.

Best & Marsh (7inch) - this is taken from the 'round&round' single and it was a theme song for a tv show hosted by factory records head, tony wilson.

Crystal (Pornoclub Mix) - this pre-original version was given to corvin dalek by bernard sumner for his 'hotkunst' mix and supposedly bernard sumner liked the track so much that he used it for the 'get ready' comeback album. it's a driving progressive techno track that has some vocal snippets from sumner. i got this entire mix cd from overseas and it cost way too much, but it was worth it to get my hands on, what was at the time, an early taste of the comeback from new order.

It Just Is..

In Memoriam:Jhonn Balance

From http://musikalia-unkle.blogspot.com/

Tribute records can often be dicey affairs. Honorable intentions aside, many of these records suffer from uneven performances, whether fawning imitations or slapdash efforts. What makes this memorial compilation to the late COIL composer/vocalist/percussionist Jhonn Balance - from the Russian experimental electronic label/magazine Fulldozer and the Ukrainian label Nocharizma - so impeccable is that it reveals the hidden popularity (at least to Westerners) of COIL in Russia and former satellite states like the Ukraine and Belarus and how good many of these many electronic acts are that likely be unfamiliar to North American and European audiences. Groups like THEODOR BASTARD, BIBLIOTEKA PROSPERO, SPIES BOYS, and VOLGA and artists like KOTRA, A(lex). Vorodeyev, hhtp, Serge Tereshkine, and KRYPTOGEN RUNDFUNK. More well-known names like SCANNER, COH, Chris Connelly, Alec Empire, K.K.Null, and ALVA NOTO do grace the compilation, but so do many little-known contributors from Japan, Turkey, the U.S., the U.K., Austria, and Sweden. All of which makes this double-CD intriguing not only in terms of opening the doors to these new (at least to these ears) acts, but also in exploring how they tackle COIL's enigmatic polyglot sound. With COIL, Balance and Peter Christopherson constructed their own hermetic parallel universe that we were invited to explore, but was ultimately shrouded in mystery, magick, and mysticism. It was a world of dreams, arcane British history, hallucinogens, chaos theory, sexuality, spirituality, madness, and darkness. For these relentless experimenters, the conscious, the unconscious and the primal forces of nature were intertwined into a form of pagan alchemy. COIL likewise infused these transformative, alchemical forces into its music, drawing from industrial, noise, glitch, neo-folk, spoken word, church music, dark ambient, drones, modern classical, minimalism, and electro-dance. COIL could be spare or orchestral, savage and macabre or ecstatic and uplifting, grandiose or intimate, haunting or serene. Most of all, it was daring and beautiful. Despite COIL's lofty aesthetic, these 27 groups and artists more than rise to the challenge of paying homage to the unpredictable, self-destructive Balance. The bar is set high immediately by Christopherson under the guise of the THRESHOLD HOUSEBOY'S CHOIR on "Mahil Athal Nadrach" and by Balance himself, who adds his vocals to sometime COIL member, THIGHPAULSANDRA's "Christ Teeth," recorded seven months before Balance's death. "Mahil" is an affecting hybrid of post-rock and IDM based around marimba and accordion figures and a heavily manipulated Asian voice. "Christ Teeth" is a malevolent piece of paranoiac and bruising industrial dance reminiscent of COIL's "Scatology" and "Horse Rotorvator" and featuring Balance, in a wicked and tortured sneer, spitting out the chorus: "Your friends are trying to kill you." For the most part, the other tributes lean more towards the darker, noisier, and more industrial side of the spectrum. The album's one weakness is that some of the pieces veer too close to the cartoon goth of NINE INCH NAILS, yet are often saved by virtue of the sheer depth and substance of the COIL songs the artists have chosen to interpret. Highlights are too plenty to mention and there isn't a completely bum track here, with each artist capturing the essence of COIL's visionary music without sacrificing its own distinctive identity. That said, Chris Connelly's acoustic-guitar-driven pop song, "What Lefts But Solid Gold," is a peculiarity amid all the noisy electronics. According to COIL's website, Threshold House, the last song Balance sang was "Going Up," a reworking of the theme from 1970s U.K. TV show "Are You Being Served?" at a show in Dublin in October 2004. In a clearly prophetic moment, Balance sang the line, "Are you ready to go now?" over and over again, with his last words being "It just is." Three weeks later, he was dead.

Michael Mantler - The Hapless Child

Now that I've got this new software figured out, let me drop that bomb I've been waiting to get up here. This is a tough one to find, released in a small run on a custom label in 1976.

Sure, it's under Mantler's name, but this is an Edward Gorey record, too. He wrote the words and drew the pictures. And it's a Robert Wyatt record, because he sings the words. In a way, it's a Terje Rypdal album, because his guitar playing dominates the arrangements. Of course, this is to take nothing away from Carla Bley, Steve Swallow, and Jack DeJohnette, because they're here, too. A who's who of high brow jazz rock elite, huh?

My biggest gripe about this record is that the songs are written as stories, and sometimes the words don't match the music so well. But then you key in to what those words are really saying, and it all makes sense. Because those words are dark dark dark.

Yet another one of those Nurse With Wound list favorites. Speaking of which, any of you got Headmaschine? Eroc? Lily? How's about helping out, then?





I have this record and I have to say it is mostly cheeseball fusionprog and pretty disappointing overall.

I am currently importing this into my computer and had intended to upload it when I decided to look for some blog action to see if anyone already had.
Lo and behold, I found yet another good blog with great stuff called The Thing On The Doorstep, who have done the good deed already. This is a pretty great and extremely creepy early industrial/occult recording originally released on cassette in 1982 and re-released on CD in the early 1990s by Nekrophile Records, which is when I picked it up.


http://thethingonthedoorstep.blogspot.com/
Here's what the blog has to say about it:
Korpses Katatonik ( pre-Zero Kama) was created by Michael DeWitt the founder of Nekrophile Rekords. Sensitive Liberated Autistiks is compared in sound to an early and electronic SPK , very dark and unsettling. Subklinikal Leukotomy Aphrenia Spasmophilik Lyssophobo Asphyxia Sinister Lethal Anorex the actual title of the tape was released on Nekrophile Rekords (NRC 01) in 1982 and re-released on cd by Nekrophile Rekords/Staalplaat in 19? limited to 500 copies.


Tracks :

1. Shatok
2. Schmertzlabor
3. Enzephallik Mortuor
4. Nekom
5. Kcok Transzplant
6. Kaltfleisch Corporor
7. Skarzisko
8. Okzipital Slash

The Thing On The Doorstep brings us another good one by the underrated Psyclones, who I have been a fan of since I was a teenager.
This one is with Schlafengarten, and is called "Impromptu," featuring two sidelong tracks. Psyclones are a husband and wife duo with an audible TG influence, but a sound all their own.

From blog:
Excellent joint release by Psyclones and Schlafengarten aka Michael Karo.An interesting mix of experimental ambient and spacey post-punk / rock. Impromptu was released on vinyl by RRRecords (RRR 010) in 1987. The title is incorrectly printed on the cover as "Imprompto".



Tracks :


1. Part One
2. Part Two
