ORTOPEDIC QUARTET-Fratture-(Self Released-Italy-2013)

Great cd by this amazing band from Caserta (Southern Italy),  I have already posted their live tape recorded at Tien`A` Ment Squat in Naples on the 8th of June 1996.

They re-formed in 2013 just to re-record some of  their tracks in a proper studio recording.

Therefore in this totally DIY Cd-r,  you `ll find 4 tracks, from that tape, completely  re-recorded and 2 more tracks from the same tape re-elaborated in a studio!

Very good musicians playing a sort of crossover mixing Jazzcore with some personal rock and funky/swing passages.

As far as I know, they have not distributed this cd, there are only a few copies around given away as a gift to close friends.

For all the lovers of creative muzik.
Enjoy it.

BRANDELLI D`ODIO-Sopravvivo ?-(Double cd-r+Booklet-Self Released-2006-UK)

I passed this one to Radiomolov  and Misterioso Impossivel blogs few years back yet those links are dead now.

I  posted few original video performances by Brandelli D`Odio and therefore I spoke already about them here,here and here.

I haven`t  posted any music by them yet,so this time you`ll find here "2 cds+booklet discography "released in 2006,limited edition of 200 copies,it is sold out and I released as digital format  to let it circulate via the net.

To whom missed the other posts here a brief introduction to this punk collective:

" Brandelli D`Odio was a collective of squatters coming from different towns  and based in the squats in Foggia (Southern Italy),they were active  from 1993  until 1997, acting as a kind of open collective.Their line up changed various time according to how they were planning their shows and the different possibilities of the time-travel circumstances. They used to mix into their live shows music and experimental theatre. During their short life they released 2 tape productions  and 2 seven inches, one of those posthumous.In 2006 a double cd called  "Sopravvivo?" was released, it did include almost all the discography of this band.

A very big thanx to X.One for the digital graphix re-make as pdf file. 

To finish this post I am going to attach here  a slideshow from my Youtube channel,where you`ll see more pics of those old days.

Enjoy it.

ARKITESI-Demo Autoprodotto-(Self Released cd-r-Italy-2009)

Arkitesi is a project founded by 3 musicians from Foggia(Southern Italy),2 of them already involved in Follorum Ensemble,they offer us a very unique form of folk music flirting with a bit of jazz and swing, sort of reminding me some old classic movies soundtracks.

There are three instruments played with bows:a violin,a double bass and a nyckelharpa.

As far as I know they were active for few months back in 2009,they recorded this cd-r completely diy,played few gigs and then took different paths.

To complete this lousy introduction I am attaching here a slide-show from my Youtube channel.In this folder you will find also 3 extra tracks that my friend Gianni sent me as special gift with the pictures included in the video.

Enjoy this amazing and quite distinct music.
A great project beyond  the usual cliche` and labels.

EINSTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN-Oslo 1980-(bootleg/cdr-Norway-1980)

An old recording on tape transferred on cd by anonymous.This was very probably a bootleg captured with a walkman tape recorder at this gig in Oslo(Norway)during their 1980 tour.

The recording is therefore a bit messy but as overall not even that bad.

I guess Einsturzende Neubauten needs no introduction nowadays.

Enjoy it.

ADAPTORIES-Katas-(cd-1000+1 TiLt Recordings-Greece-2006)

Adaptories is an improvised band composed by 5 people.According to the notes on the backcover this cd was recorded in their practise room when it was just ready to be used.

Instruments used:drums,trumpets,microphones,pedal effects,guitars,laptops,synths,toys,metal tubes and amplifiers.

This is pure experimental music touching the avant-garde,the old school industrial and some weird yet genius art rock...well think about all this  music styles blended with a bit of noize...the final result is astonishing.
Another great relased by 1000+1 TiLt Recordings.

There are 3 song titles listed in Greek language,my friend La Maga provided english translations;Big Thanx.:)

This is for people into creative and  "unspeakable" music.

FOLLORUM ENSEMBLE-musiche dall`altro medioevo (cd-r -diy-1997-Italy-)

Follorum Ensemble is a band from Puglia (Southern Italy),they were born in Foggia but later expanded their line up collaborating  with other musicians from that area.They are still active nowdays but the line up changed quite a few times since  they started back in the 90s,This cd is old and  it`s not available any longer.
When they started they were using the little chapel in the Ex Cim Occupato  in Foggia as practise room(Ex Cim was a big squatted hospital  with a little chapel-church in it)
They often played benefit gigs in this squat and during the summer they were often taking part to festivals and street parties .
Their music is a classic example of medieval music played with  ancient instruments.And they are definitely masters of those instruments.
Enjoy it.
