v.a.-Your Invitation To SUICIDE-A Tribute To The Songs Of Martin Rev & Alan Vega-(Munster Records-Spain-1998)

A compilation of cover songs tribute to Suicide is kind of a difficult task yet this is amazing...It was released in 1994 by Munster Records as double lp and then re-printed by the same label as cd in 1998.
I  think this is an amazing compilation and I kind of like the review by Lindsay Hutton included in the booklet.
Enjoy it.

13 songs of raw  OI punk rock mixed sung in Catalan language and written in the same language on the folded cover sleeve.The lyrics tell us stories about everyday life, rage against the system in form of anti-clerical and anti-capitalist messages.

Very good recording and color cover sleeve.

X-CHRIS-Alpine Star/CREOSOTE-Ulung-[Split tape](Racing Room Tapes-UK-1996)

Very interesting split tape by two English projects:X-Cris from Kent and Creasote from Surrey.
Both playing a weird form of lo-fi noise yet X-Cris touches the drones sounds with extreme bass and pulsating fragments while Creosote clatter around with guitars,feedbacks,microphones,radio,found sounds and voices.

A good tape released on the English Racing Room Tapes,label that seems to be active from mid 90s until 2000.

Enjoy it.

THE NEOLITHICS-Eclipse-(Demo+Live-Self Released-Italy-c90-1994)

The Neolithics was a  band hailing from Foggia(Southern Italy) and playing a raw and "primitive" garage rock 60s style,they were in love with this music genre and  they had  great skills in song-writings.
They formed in 1989 and played until 1993,after that they took different paths: Mario formed the mighty Petrifieds,Massimo and Jack went to join the medieval band Follorum Ensamble and Pennello got involved  with the HC punk band Oltraggio e Resistenza.

This cd called Eclipse was a c90,the last cassette they released and it contains all their recordings:the first demo "From the cave"recorded in the first squat of their own town with a cheap sound system and a 4 tracks recorder,"Live 92" is a live recording of their gig  in Montesilvano supporting  the Fuzztones and few extra tracks recorded in the practise room of Diskarika Occupata(the squat in which they were involved).
 A big thanx to PuppyBArf for the digital conversion of this great tape.
The Neolithics  are considered one of the best band of this music style coming from the Italian Boot during the wonderful  90s.
Enjoy it.

WHIRLING PIG DERVISH-Out Of Tune,Out Of Time...-(Yummy Orgasm Recs-UK-1991)

Amazing cassette by this band hailing from Glasgow(Scotland).
They were part of the avant-hardcore scene of this Scottish town back in the 90s.

Probably friends with bands like:Dawson,Archbishop Kebab, Stretchheads and Keatons.

They play a crazy form of HC punk touching the  highs of Minutmen and The Pop Group with some post punk sounds.

Everything mashed up with screams,acid guitars,some unknown noise, fast drums and powerful bass guitar.

Here  a discogs page dedicated to them where you can read about their other productions.

Enjoy it.

MAEROR TRI-Venenum-(audiofile Tapes-Usa-c60-1992)

Maeror Tri was an ambient, noise and drone music band from Germany founded in the 1980s which consisted of Stefan "Baraka H" Knappe, Martin "GLIT[s]CH" Gitschel and Helge Siehl.

They used only live instruments to produce music with enormous amount of effects applied. They disbanded in the late 1990s after releasing a number of limited-edition records. They released music on labels such as Old Europa Cafe, Ant-Zen, Staalplaat, and Soleilmoon.

Stefan and Martin continued under the name of Troum, while Helge is recording as Tausendschoen. Stefan Knappe is also the founder and owner of Drone Records.(from wikipedia)

The legendary New York industrial/experimental/electronic label audifile Tapes was run by Carl Howard and active since the mid-1980s.

I  wrote about him quite few time now.Here an interview  to him on Autoreverse Indipendent Music Magazine and another one on Media Hyperrel.org.

This tape was re-printed as cd by the french UNE (R)ecords in 1999.

If I do not fail the original copies distributed by audiofile tapes had a different front colour cover each one.

This is a masterpiece of drone industrial ambient music.

Flashpoint-Issue One-August 1995(Fanzine-Usa)

This is the first issue of Flashpoint,I posted already the second issue that was entirely dedicated to the genders relationships and problems,this instead is totally dedicated to the religion.

As Shannon used to do,this is a in  depth re-search about all the issues coming out from
religion:sexism,patriarchy,mind control,inquisition,moralism,ethnic cleansing,closed-mind people in control of our society,taboos,religious wars and other interesting articles make this  is a 58 pages(A4 size) long fanzine for people interested in politics throu religion.
Shannon was very active in the fanzine network in fact she was also behind the legendary ""The Whizzbanger Guide To Zine Distributors!" an excellent guide to the world of the underground publications.
To complete this post I  am attaching here the introduction that Shannon wrote for this issue.
Enjoy it,this is an excellent fanzine.

M.NOMIZED & Mr MOTO-At Dusk-(c60-Bawler Tape Prods-Germany-1995)

Another little gem on cassette dated 1995. I wrote already about M.Nomized and also about Mr Moto; Here additionally are a few quick hints about them: M . Nomized aka Michael Madrange - owner of the Fraction Studios which were very active in the 90s. As a musician (M. NOMIZED, THE GOLOZOS, DHISMA), music producer, zine editor, sound composer for art exhibitions, and mail artist. 
Mr Moto is Matthias Lang- zine editor(IRRE ZINE) and tape label boss(IRRE TAPES). So what to expect from two such names???... Beautiful and creative electronic experimentations which were quite new for that time. Some stuff kind of reminds me in ways of the early experiments in rhythmic noise, other material is definetly more hypnotic, the sound texture collage of effects, distorted electronics, frazzled noises, and weird goings make this tape a little jewel for the lovers of spazzed out electronics. The tape came with a Spartan cover, a carton box in which the tape is kind of stuck.
It was released by Bawler Prods,a noise / experimental label from Germany run by Thomas Gith .
Excellent stuff for elastic ears.

MISSING FOUNDATION-Go Into Exile-(Restless Records-USA-1992)

Missing Foundation is Industrial Noise outfit from NYC. Their logo shows a martini-cocktail glass turned upside down meaning "the party's over!". Missing Foundation made a point of fighting gentrification in New York's Lower East Side and other metropolitan areas. They left their logo painted on walls where ever they travelled. Walking around in major European cities in the late '80s/early 90's you would find this all over the place. (from their discogs page) and here a webpage where you`ll find more info and biography.

 Restless was founded in early 1986 as a sublabel of Enigma Records (3) by Joe Regis and William Hein. Intended for the alternative market, it is home to a diverse catalogue of titles by such leading independent artists as The Flaming Lips, They Might Be Giants, The Dead Milkmen, TSOL, Devo, Agent Orange, Death Angel, The Golden Palominos, Lori Carson, Spain, Giant Sand, Warren G. and much more.

A violent cd for smashed brains...a cult:>

v.a.-CADENCED CONTAMINATIONS-(c60-Contaminated Prods+Cadenced Noise-Italy-1991)

I passed this amazing compilation tape to Vita Ignes Corpus Lignum more than five years ago,I feel to re-post it here adding the same description:
 "Cadenced Contamination compilation tape(c60) was released in 1991 as a co-production between Cadenced Noise tape label in Caserta and Contaminated Prods in Benevento. The founders of both labels were then & are still now long time friends, and they decided to work on a common project trying to assemble an international compilation tape with international artists in the field of electronic/experimental music. It features some unknown artists and some other more famous from the tape labels network at that time.It came out with a small(A5 size) booklet with graphics and info about the bands and the labels(included here). Contaminated Prods printed about 150 copies of it. Not sure how many copies Cadenced Noise printed. It was distributed mainly via mail."
