KLEG-Zing-(Barooni-Holland-1992)

Kleg (1984-1995) was an art-rock ensemble from Groningen, the Netherlands. Influenced by Glenn Branca, Rhys Chatham.
Kleg recorded two albums: #15 'Eating and Sleeping' and Zing.
#15 was a 50-minute suite.
Zing had a more conventional rock-feel and was produced by Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth. Both albums are out of print.
4 unreleased tracks from 1995 were made public in 2014 via their Bandcamp page.

 Recorded at Studio 20 (Tienen, Belgium) at August 19th & 20th and September 2nd till 4th 1991. Issued in a 4-panel Digipak with white tray, manufactured by Van de Steeg, Holland under license from AGI, USA.
Some copies with a sticker on front: "Produced by Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth) / mixed by Luc Van Acker (Revolting Cocks)"

All the info is taken from Discogs.

To complete this post I am here attaching a great video with a track from this album, here the info from that Youtube Channel:

  "A video for the song Diamanda by KLEG. (Yes, this is the stereo version) Diamanda was a track from KLEG's second album ZING, which was recorded in aug./sept. 1992 in Studio 20 in Tienen (Belgium) by Luc van Acker (engineering) and Lee Ranaldo (production). The video was made in the winter of 1993 by VPRO TV for their show TV Nomaden, a weekly experimental show that was on Dutch national TV between 1992 and 1995. The video was filmed in KLEG's hometown Groningen, but I can not recall where that nomad`s land was. In fact, I only remember it was a fuckin' cold afternoon! Diamanda was named after Diamanda LaBerge Dramm who was born in the month we wrote that track. This Diamanda LaBerge Dramm: http://youtu.be/NcF7VwpKhEA More vintage music by KLEG at https://kleg.bandcamp.com/ https://soundcloud.com/kleg"

Enjoy this great album.

v.a.-NECROPHOBIA-(Interrupt Product-Holland-c90-1989)

Old compilation released on a c90 cassette including many obscure yet great artists playing industrial in its many forms and shapes...noise, deranged electronics, broken ambient, weird cranking metal junks, voice loops and more difficult music to absorb.

Interrupt Product was a small Dutch tape label active in the late 80s releasing industrial and noise music.

Enjoy it.

TIRADE-London Hardcore Demo 2011-(Self Released-UK-2011)

In late 2010 four long-term friends and London hardcore veterans came together to form TIRADE, united by a desire to continue the legacy of quality that their scene has produced, and also to enjoy playing some back to basics heavy hardcore.

Despite elements of what could loosely be described as an NYHC sound, TIRADE is far from clones looking to copy one particular style. Their furious mix of old school speed and mid-tempo crunch, the odd moment of melody and frequent journeys into much heavier territory combine to provide a glimpse into the future of London Hardcore.

Featuring members of NINE BAR and INJURY TIME.
TIRADE is:

Tom - vocals
Si - guitar
Paulie - bass
Ammo - drums

HEX MINORA-Under A Pornographic Sun-(Pylon Recordings-UK-1997)

Another excellent tape by this female noise artist who also ran BV Tapes.   Already covered in this blog. This tape came out in a VHS box and include also a short interview although it is not specified where and when it was published.Recorded 1994/1995. Remixed 1995. Limited to 100 copies.

The music here is a cacophonous magma of dark sounds touching the quite noise, the dark ambient, some crystalline esoteric electronics and more obscure sexual hypnotic messages.

Pylon Recordings was a UK based noise label active in the mid-90s, now defunct.
An astonishing tape-work.
Enjoy it.

v.a-THRASHOLD-(Thrashold-Holland-1988)

Incredible and stunning compilation on vinyl including various bands from Northern Europe, mainly from Holland but also from Germany, Belgium, and the USA.

It came out with an A4 size booklet reporting addresses, lyrics and graphics(pics )by the bands, unfortunately, it is not included here.

On the B side label of the album, we find this message :

 " This record is a cooperation between all the bands, we made it the way we wanted, paid it ourselves and we`ll sell it to our friends."

  A statement that reminds me the DIY ethos attitude of the 80s, in fact, with a good recording and a dozen of cool bands this piece of plastic will make happy all the followers of certain obscure yet wonderful old school hardcore punk from that fabulous decade. 

Enjoy it.

SHURIKEN/TIMOTHY C. HOLEHOUSE-Split 2009-(Self Released-UK-2009)

Shuriken is a Dutch band playing a kind of indie rock with some noisy influences and obsessive structures,.They seem to be still active and their FB page is here.

 Timothy C Holehouse is a British musician from Dorset, in this tape he offers to us 2 pieces of drone noise industrial.

 TCH (AKA Timothy C Holehouse)
is the alter ego of Tim Holehouse the folk/ blues musician; this is his more leftfield material ranging from noise collages to ambient guitar soundtracks. In mid-2007 Tim Holehouse decided that his two styles of writing were falling into two very separate camps of music and decided to split himself up…Thus Timothy C Holehouse was born!  (although the first album was recorded new years eve to New years day 2006/2007) The name was later shortened to TCH.
This Project will CEASE TO EXIST on 31st December 2014. Records will still be available, but no further live performances or recordings will be made by TCH (timothy c Holehouse).

Info is taken from his official webpage while his Bandcamp page is here.
