1000 Posts-End of the broadcast?(Words-2017)

This post is the number 1000,when I started this blog I had gut feelings that I wouldn`t have reached  this number.I was wrong!Now I think that this is a turning point.I will probably spend less time working on this blog.It is been a long ride with some mistakes,some good feedbacks and lots of fun,some friends did help me and to them goes all my gratitude.

I guess I should write more but I leave this to you after all some people will read this and have a word to say,maybe?

Until next time.

CCC CNC NCN-Suicidio Modo D`Uso-(Nautilus-Italy-1989)

This album was inspired by the book by Yves Le Bonniec and Claude Guillon called Suicide Method of Use released in 1982 in France and translated + published by Nautilus in 1989 in Italy with the name Suicidio Modo D`uso.It was at some point confiscated by the police from all the bookshops.It was somehow too radical for some closed-mind people.

In this vinyl-masterpiece anarchist/dadaist collective CCC CNC NCN presents some amazing old school industrial music with radical lyrics about :prisons,death,life and freedom.It came out with a cool 12 page b/w booklet reporting lyrics and ideas about the subject,unfortunately only in italian language.For who is not familiar with this project here a note from a discogs page:Anonymous noise/performance collective from Torino, Italy. Spawning from the anarchic/antagonist underground scene, CCC CNC NCN combine an extreme old school industrial sound with conceptual records and live shows about unpopular topics, such as suicide as extreme choice of freedom, mass control and oppression.Their myspace page is here.

I already wrote about this antagonist label from Torino.They promote a do-it-yourself attitude and release books, pamphlets, documents and records. There's no copyright on any of their productions.Their actual webpage is here. 
Enjoy it.

v.a.-As The Animals Die-(Gurteltiertapes-Switzerland-c90-199?)

Fourth release by this small Swizz tape label called Gurteliertapes managed by Pille Weibel in Luzern,who was also a noise musician.

I already posted a couple of other tapes by this label. 

In this c90 sampler we find different bands offering us various music styles:some doom rock,some HC Punk,a bit of noise and a pinch of experimental electronics.Very good recordings all the tape around...

A nice and extravagant compilation.
Enjoy it.

Zips & Chains n7-(Fanzine-Italy/Yugoslavia-1991)

Excellent fanzine managed by Dario Adamic, made in Italy but all in the English language.This is the number 7 and it has lots of interesting interviews, music reviews, letters...

This is a classic from the very underground press scene of the early 90s, well done with love and passion it remains a great source to research the lively DIY Punk scene of that era.

To complete this post I am attaching here the introduction that Dario wrote for this issue.

Enjoy it.

HUMAN BEINGS-They Live-(Deviate-Holland-1995)

Human Beings were Allert Aalders and  Bert Van De Grift a very prominent name in the early electro/ambient techno dutch scene.

This album is a great example of hypno/ambient techno, it was released by Deviate one of the most popular techno labels from Utrecht, (The Netherlands) operating as a daughter of Jupiton BV until they closed down.

All their old releases(including this amazing album)are now on their bandcamp page as free downloads.

v.a.-Does DIS System Work?-(Punk Bootleg Tapes-UK-c60-199?)

60minutes cassette compilation featuring the Disharge and lots of Dis-Clone bands.This is a full tape of D-Beat: a sub genre of early 1980s Hardcore Punk named after the UK band Discharge. The term is used to describe a number of bands playing in the same Metal-influenced punk style as Discharge with a firm attachment to the recognizable d-beat drum pattern and its derivatives. D-Beat generally has shouted lyrics and is stylistically and thematically similar to Anarcho-Punk.(from rateyourmusic)

In fact Discharge ,formed in 1977 in  Stock-on-Trent (Staffordshire-UK)influenced a generation(or two) of punk bands and this sampler

is here to prove it.

If you are into Crust D-beat HC Punk  then you`ll love this one.

All recordings are very good and there are few lyrics in the folded cover sleeve.Sorry no info about this distro.

Allied Recordings was a hardcore punk label from San Francisco, California run by John Yates, a graphic designer whose work can be seen on many covers of punk and hardcore records, also known for Punchline, a graphic magazine with sociopolitical contents.

The graphics works on this cd are indeed by him!Amazing stuff.

FETT/CULVER-Split Tape-(Matching Head-UK-199?)

Another release by the english label  Matching Head managed by Lee Stokoe.I wrote about this artist many times now posting some split tapes,comics and solo works.

On this tape Lee share the space with another english artist Fett who,also, plays experimental noise mixed with different influences.

v.a-Destroy The System-(Not On Label-Italy-c90-199?)

This is a very well crafted long compilation with a selection of great Italian bands active during the 90s.The choice of the songs is pretty good and so are all the recordings.

I do not know who compiled it as the cover sleeve doesn`t report any address and I am not sure if it was coming with a booklet if so I don`t have it.

All I know is that whoever compiled this astonishing sampler was following very near the lively Italian underground HC punk scene of the 90s.

If you like furious, powerful, fast and angry HC Punk then you `ll not be disappointed with this c90 cassette.

Enjoy it.
