KEIMVERBREITUNG-Metastasis-(Slaughter Productions-c34-Italy-1995)

Keimverbreitung was maybe the first industrial band of Sicily, conveyors of a disquieting and disturbing musical verb with over twenty years of history. Born from the union of GiovanniTorregrossa (filter, noise, electronic instruments) and Marco Failla (guitar, programming), Keimverbreitung recap the ideal encounter between psychedelia, post-industrial and dark ambient in a Thelemic trip. A borderline sound, a machine of hate, love, anguish and dream.(info from Discogs).Slaughter Productions is a label covered in this blog many times now.

Enjoy it.

Arcadia Party Flyers-(Graphic/Flyers-UK-1998/1999)

Here two flyers of the mighty Arcadia Parties held in 1998 and 1999. Arcadia was a very special fetish party supporting the Sexual Freedom Coalition.
I spoke about this organization already 2 times when I posted  Their annual Report 96/97 and Book Of Delights the booklet they were giving away at the people taking part in their Sex Maniac Ball in 2003.
Fot whoever missed these posts then:

The Sexual Freedom Coalition (SFC) is a pro-sex campaign organization and political pressure group based in the United Kingdom that challenges the laws which take away the sexual freedoms of consenting adults and also challenges the media and official bodies that show disrespect for sex.
The Sexual Freedom Coalition is a national UK voluntary organization whose aim is to campaign for sensible reform of Britain's antiquated and repressive laws concerning consensual sexual practice between consenting adults and ensure no new laws creep in to prevent consenting adults enjoying sexual freedom.
The Sexual Freedom Coalition was
formed in April 1996 by a group of people who decided that sex clubs such as Whiplash should not be raided and the 10th Sex Maniac's Charity Ball should not have been stopped by the police, putting its charity at financial risk.
A march was organized starting in Soho and ending at 10 Downing Street where a petition "Sex Please We're British" was presented to the Prime Minister.
Since then, there have been many triumphs and the phrase "the sexual freedom of consenting adults" has become commonly used. The SFC is consulted by the Home Office and the press and is unique in the world. They have joined together with Outsiders and the Erotic Awards to hold conferences and events to allow campaigners to network and work together.
They are a member of Backlash, which was formed in 2005 in order to oppose a new law criminalizing possession of "extreme pornography". (from Wikipedia)

OH` DEV-Don`t Push-(Eksakt Records-Holland-1986)

According to band members, the name comes from a populist 50ties Hollywood movie. The female ‘sexbomb’ drops the line “oh’ dev”.
Oh’Dev basic line up was Ruud – drums, Andre (Meer Staal) – guitar and Dirk – Bas. It could be that Dirk was not always in the band, but he played on the Limbabwe recordings. The vocalist could change. In the downloads below two different vocalists are mentioned: Harry (also guitar) and Hans.
The music is a kind of ‘noise-rock’ strongly influenced by Sonic Youth, Scratch Acid and such. Mostly I like bands in the style a-la Oh’Dev, but somehow I never seem to be able to listen through a full release of them. After two songs it starts to bore me and I lose interest. Andre’s guitar playing is based on no skills (he cannot play for real). Although creative in Meer Staal with percussion and vocals, on the guitar he seems to be limited and the noise becomes an assembled repeating structure that loses attention after 5 minutes. A funny anecdote to this is that Andre called himself after the guitar he played: ‘King Zolo’. A cheap piece of crap dumped by Sonic Youth.
Both vocalists didn’t manage to capture the listeners either.
Oh’Dev tried to ‘make’ it. They took every gig offered. Manage to do a few shows abroad and released more records on other, lesser underground than Limbabwe, indie labels. Despite what members try to make us believe nowadays, they never achieved a status in fame and creativity like some other Limbabwe bands (Meer Staal, Pandemonium,….). None of their releases sold for real. The band float(s) well on smooth bizznix talk from the drummer.
This introduction was taken from Limbabwe Official Webpage 
where you`ll find 2 other productions as a free download by this great band released on Limbabwe Records.
"Don`t Push" was instead released on the Dutch label Eksakt.  
Defunct label from Tilburg, The Netherlands that ceased to exist in 1990.
Enjoy it.

CITIES IN DESOLATION-Demo,Anavyssos Session Pt.1-04/02-(1000+1 TiLt Recordings-Greece-2002)

Another cd and another project by my friend Jason, owner of the label 1000+1 Tilt Recordings a label covered in this blog many times and also prolific musician involved in many acts.
This project started as a trio and after became a duo.
Experimental music made with synth, cello, bass guitar, filtered voices and various machines. It was recorded during spring 2002 in a basement, my copy has two extra tracks, one recorded live in Mostar (Bosnia) and another one from their gig in Ljubliana (Slovenia).
The music evolves in areas such as ambient, drone, ethereal dub experiments and quiet noise.
This label is still alive and kicking and you can check its webpage here while a Soundcloud page is here.
A very big thanx to Jason for sending me this little jewel more than 10 years ago, for the extra tracks on my copy and all the useful info about it. 
Enjoy it.

HOSTILITER-Age Of Decay-(Suoni Oscuri-Italy-2012)

Hostility was a crust punk band born in 2010 in the Italian city of Viterbo,(Lazio Region). The line up was: Frederico guitar and vocals, Agostino on bass and Coli on drums.
In March 2011, five tracks for Intoxication were recorded.
The lyrics deal with such topics as a criticism of the system, war and religion.

This tape comes with a folded cover sleeve reporting lyrics in Italian and English, the recording is very good.
Unfortunately, they are no longer active yet you can check their bandcamp page here, where you find other great productions
while on their FB page you`ll see old flyers and videos.
Their music has a gloomy crust punk edge filled with heavy metallic sounds, think Amebix meets Neurosis deep in the ocean.
A big  Thanx to Ghiko for giving the ok to share this great cassette here.
Enjoy it.

ARTE POSTAL Hacia El Nuevo Milenio-(Museo De Filatelia De Oaxaca-Mail Art Documentation-Mexico+Global Networking-1999)

Amazing documentation printed in off-set on glossy paper about this mail art project called Arte Postal Hacia El Nuevo Milenio, It was organized by The Philatelic Museum of Oaxaca that made an exhibition which lasted 3 months with a 3 days opening(16-18 December 1999) when there was also a performance by Clemente Padin Vs Gerardo Yepiz on the first day, a debate with various mail artists on the second day and an electroacoustic concert on the third day. 
The documentation has a good introduction about this project, an article about the mail art and one about the electroacoustic gig + a selection of art-works by international mail artists.
Very well done and with interesting articles and critics, this mail art document will make happy all the art postal aficionados.
All the texts are in the Spanish language, only.
Disfrutalo.

v.a.-Endorse It In Dorset Festival 2011-Vol 8-(Double Cd-Hogbitch-UK-2011)

Amazing double cd + small booklet with cool pics presenting the acts/bands playing at this cheerful festival in 2011.
I have posted the Vol 4 documenting the 2007 edition of the same festival.
This time the cd is double yet the recipe is almost the same, a lot of great musicians playing cow-punk, acid dub, crazy ska, punk rock, weird electronics, country&folk and more funny music to dance your body and soul.
Hogbitch seems to be the personal label by Pronghorn: an UK band that promote themselves as The Kings of Cow-punk since 1992. 
To complete this post I am attaching a video of Pronghorn live at this festival edition.
Enjoy it.

Lieselotte-Live/Pakita-M.S.1.-(Split Tape-Self Released-Switzerland-1998)

Split tape with two very different acts, on one side Lieselotte from Switzerland and on the other side Pakita from Spain.
There is not much info on the cover sleeve although from the few info I can guess a few things.

Lieselotte plays a fast and angry HC punk with political lyrics sung in French language, just 2 lyrics reported on the cover sleeve, it is a live recording of their gig held on 24/02/1998 in an antifascist festival in Neuchatel(Switzerland).
 Although recorded live the overall quality is pretty good, I imagine their live shows must be really powerful.

Pakita seems to be a one-woman project from Spain. She plays a rather violent form of noise industrial made with machines, echos, effects, feedbacks and filtered vocals,
this session was recorded in her "cave" in August 1998 and the recording is awesome.

Other than this info I am not sure if this tape was self-released and where it was released, I guess in Switzerland.

This is definitely a tape both for people into HC punk and Industrial Noise.
Enjoy it.

Grit n1-(Fanzine-UK-2016)

A short fanzine made by a Brazilian punk based in London. Quite funny and interesting.

I am including here the editorial to this first number, it is, in fact, a very good presentation/explanation of what this zine is and what for, and I have found it somehow funny and enjoyable too. 

Enjoy it.

DAWSON-Cheese Market-(Gruff Wit Records/ The Making Of Americans-UK/USA-1994)

This is an enormous cd including the first 2 albums: "Barf Market : You're Ontae Plums" and  " How To Follow So That Others Will Willingly Lead (Oh My Godley And Creme Cheese)" by this amazing Glasgow based band active in the early 90s.
Compared to names such as Butthole Surfers and Minutemen, Dawson throws in their songs sheer violence and electric energy mixing some avant-guard fast chaotic guitars riffs, math rhythms, weird vocals and experimental jingles that make their music original and difficult to categorize.
Coming out from the very lively Noize Post Hardcore punk scene from the end of last century, they shared common interests and sweats with Stretchheads, Whirling Pig Dervish and  Archbishop Kebab, all very original bands hailing from Scotland. 
An FB page about them is here, where you can see old flyers and pics, a new band formed by the 3rd era Dawson musicians is called Sumshapes and their Bandcamp page is here  , you can listen/buy their album Cabin Biscuits released June 30, 2017.
This is another great gift as FLAC files coming from my friend Dante, my gratitude to him for his help and support.
Enjoy it.
