Under The Flag n9-(Magazine-Belgium-Feb. 1997)

Number 9 of this small yet very good free magazine from Belgium in English language.

I have already posted the number 10 released later in the same year.

Created in Liege by Didier Delhez this free magazine was a great tool for people into industrial/goth/electro and cyberpunk music-culture.

In this issue interviews to Ivan Iusco (Nightmare Lodge, Minus Habens), Diatribe from USA, Testify from Germany, Malaise from Sweden + an American scene report and a good selection of music reviews and general info.
Enjoy it.

SOLANACEAE TAU-Voices From The Ground Behind-(Self Released-Germany-2002)

Solanaceae Tau was founded in the early 80ties and  made a lot of  releases in the tape industrial and gothic scene in Germany, Holland, France, Italy, UK and after the departure of their female vocalist they etablished (after a break) in a  new personal structure with the same project`s name in 1998. The musical base is inspirated to the dark wave music from the eighties:psychedelic and EBM  with some of the neo folk / gothic music of today mixed with collages and tapeworks.

The project members are Jason Fretz (guitar) Nicci Harrington (vocals ) and Axaxaxs ( synkussion, keyboards, tapes ).They compose and produce their music in their own small studio with reel tape machines, computers  and virtual and real instruments.(info taken from Soundclick).

I have already posted quite few of their previous tape-works.

This cd-r is mainly darkwave yet it has his own structure and style.A bit different from the tapes already on this blog yet very good.

Enjoy it.

v.a.-THE DREAM THAT COULD AWAKE-(Exprel-France-c60-1993)

Very good compilation tape  released on Exprel label managed by Cyril Adam in France  during the 90s.
This compilation came out in a VHS box with a info-sheet , a lollipop  for the first 50 copies and an A5 sized booklet including info and graphix  for each band included.
I am sorry I cannot find the booklet and I will add it here as soon as it will come out from my messy archives of fanzines.

Here I am adding the track list.

Various Artists-BLATANT PROPAGANDA,vol 1[cd-r+zine] (Blatant Propaganda Zine - Australia-1998)

Australian electro-industrial label which after many years of activity went into hibernation and offline in 2004 and resurrected in 2009 as a scaled down format as a compliment to the original and main project, Eye (3). 
(from Discogs) 

This cd is not listed on Discogs and I think it is their first compilation. It came out with their zine(included here). The zine covers issues such as pharmaceutical frauds, against Mcdonalds, East Timor, cancer research, vaccination`s frauds and more.
The compilation is very good covering electronica, industrial and darkwave packed with very underground artists: Eye, Testube Sterile, Zeitgeist, Keystone, Novakill,T roll, Centrifuge, Aya and many more.

Professional recordings and good songs. Here 2 small reviews taken from one of their flyers:
 
"Blatant Propaganda vol. 1 has been keeping itself busy in my cd player for many moons.I have been really surprised by the high standard both of the bands and quality of the sound on the cd.I was able to appreciate all the bands involved in the project"(Terry Goldfain, editor of Revelations magazine - Adelaide ,Australia).

"that cd sampler is GREAT" Lord Litter, Germany-dj on Europe-wide  Radio Marabou.

It was released in a strictly limited edition and it was sold for only $5 or 4 IRC.
They are still active, here their webpage.On the same page you`ll find the list of all their old productions that are not available any longer, this compilation is one of them.
A very good one for people into ebm, darkwave,i ndustrial and the like.
Enjoy it!
