v.a. - NAIVE - (Earache-UK-1992)

 Just giving this a 20th anniversary listen, I'm blown away. It becomes so obvious that at that time Earache was THE leading label for category-defying heavy music. Some of the greatest heavy string players are featured on it (Justin Broadrick, James Plotkin, Bill Laswell, Al Cisneros, Matt Pike), all of whom had already written major chapters in heaviness or were starting to do so.
Still wondering why it sounds so fresh ...(review by Krawadde published on Discogs on 30 Nov. 2012)   click me

v.a-Recompilatorio Benefico Liberacion Animal "Angry Voices"-(Not On Label(?)-Spain(?)-199?)

This tape is a great international compilation featuring various bands playing Sludge, HC Punk and somehow heavy riffs with screamed angry vocals. It was a  benefit for an animal rights organisation as the name in Spanish states.

I am sure it came out with a booklet explaining the benefit and giving us info about those good bands, unfortunately   I`ve lost the booklet, therefore, I have very little clues about this production and those bands, any soul out there with more info about this great cassette???

I `d love to know more.
Enjoy it.
