THE PETRIFIEDS - Warning!Monsters -(P.A.I.N. Recs-Italy-1997)

Another band in which the Mail Artists Mario Aquilino was involved after the experience with the amazing The Neolithics.

This band plays a form of lo-fi instro horror surf trash`n`roll with the sound of the 50s. This 7ich was half recorded in the practise room of the Ex CIM Okkupato in Foggia with a 4-tracks recorded and half of with a cheapo walkman mono at "4th Beat Festival" 22/06/1996 Castel S. Giovanni (Piacenza). 300 copies back in 1997...hard to find nowadays. Enjoy it.

v.a.-Nothing To Lose...But Our Chains...(ABC/Counter Information-UK-199?)

 

90 minutes cassette compilation with lots of bands from the political British underground scene of the last century. It was a benefit for the Counter Information paper. The various recordings are pretty good, and there is very little information on the folded cover sleeve.

 A compilation very much from that era mixing HC Punk, Dub, and generally anarcho-punk in its various forms. Big thanks to Mark Terminus for this little gem of the lost and found underground world.Enjoy It.

Vento Rosso N1 - (Fanzine-Italy-1995)

 First issue of Vento Rosso fanzine edited and distributed by Eugenio Maggio back in the mid-90s.In this issue, lots of weird yet beautiful graphic works, some political articles, music reviews, and personal thoughts. All in all, a good zine showing Eugenio`s will to communicate and exchange ideas and actions.In the Italian language, only. 

Buona Lettura.

NAIAD - Hardcore Emotion - (Good Life Recordings-Belgium-2003)

 An excellent album of emotional melodic screamo/sludge metalcore with a pinch of interspersed ambient.  A great band hailing from Japan, this is their only production on CD.

After over 20 years of operation, Good Life Recordings is still the main professional Belgian hardcore record label. (from Discogs) Bandcamp--

TOM TYLER - Asleep At The Switch- (D.C. Recordings-UK-2000)

A complex and underrated album by Tom Tyler. Fusing a range of influences that touch electronic jazz, Hip-Hop, and downtempo, it will transport you to another desert of bliss and void. Tom Tyler`s Youtube Channel offers us more amazing music. His Bandcamp page is here, from there this introduction :

From 1998 to 2005 Tom Tyler released a series of EPs & 2 LPs on J Saul Kane's acclaimed DC Recordings imprint, and remixed artists such as The Cinematic Orchestra and Sofa Surfers. He was also a member of Stromba, who released the LP "Tales From The Sitting Room" on FatCat Records.  click me

 

 

v.a. - BUAV Benefit - (Buav-UK-199?)

 BUAV stands for "British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection"! This extensive compilation tape features numerous bands active during the 1980s, primarily in the hardcore punk scene. It came out with a booklet, each band has a page containing lyrics, graphics and/or messages against vivisection. No date of release is stated anywhere, yet it is my understanding that it was released during the 90s. The quality of the recordings changes from song to song, as overall it is pretty good. Expect lots of HC punk in its various forms, some post-punk and Terminus playing some political folk songs. A big thanks to Mark Terminus for donating this great sampler to this blog. Enjoy it.
