Виолетов Генерал ‎– Д'Емо-(Riva Sound Records-Bulgaria-1993)

"The band Violetov General (Виолетов Генерал) was a Bulgarian post-punk
band formed in 1989 by Emil Valev and was active until 1994. The band
went through new wave , dark wave and punk, influenced by swiss
avante-garde players like Jorg Lenzlinger and Pedro Kobler. They later
incorporated industrial and more experimental sounds into their music.
After their second concert the only member that remained in the band
was the bass player - Evgenii Genchev.
The band has many unofficial releases and bootlegs, but official albums are:
"Dvoinik"/Doppelganger,
"D'Emo"
"Razkazi Za Sofia" (with Rivasound)"info taken from LastFm.
A discogs page dedicated to them is here.

Big thanx to Al-Maytatu L-Habithu for providing the english translations of the songtitles and passing me info and webpages about this amazing band.

A great demo for the lovers of darkwave and goth rock. 
Enjoy it.

v.a.-POLERIROCK I-Collection(Poks Tapes-Finland-c60-199?)

Another compilation by Jupe Luoma,who was into mail art,zines making and running the label Joukkormurha Tapes and  the sublabel JM Tapes.
Here an introduction about Joukkormurha Tapes taken from Discogs:"From the west coast of Finland - the city of Vaasa, to be more precise - rose a small but relentless and heavily networking cassette-only label originally known as Joukkomurha [Engl. Mass Murder or Massacre] Products or Tapes. The title of the label was later watered down to a more neutral-sounding (maybe even a wee bit more) JM-Tapes. The label was originally started just for fun, as a continuation to the creative stream of small press activity. The label was active producing the plethora of cassette-only albums (or alblums, as John Bartles would put it!) and compilations of folk / punk / electronic / aggressive / art music(k) and odd bits of sound all the way from Ohio to Okinawa. The label was in action between 1989 and 1998. In total, there were more than 70 releases during that time of angst, madness and creativity. The label was run by J Luoma, who was acknowledged on the "thanks" list of Reverend Bizarre's debut LP as the "witch of the west"!"
This compilation offers us a bunch of bands playing lo-fi experimental rock,punk and similar genres. 
Enjoy it.
