In Media Res N8 -(Fanzine-Croatia-1996)

 Number 8 of this Croatian Zine, I have, already, posted the Number 9!! It was created by Mark Strpic in Zagreb on the end of the 90s. Although quite short,it has very good contents.In this issue a detailed and funny editorial,long and interesting interviews to Urte (a small DIY label from Germany),Gecko aka Pille Weibel from Switzerland who was running Gultertiertapes, the American @punk band Aus Rotten, a report about Foggia`s Squats + columns, fanzine`s reviews and comics!! All in all a great example of pure underground press at its best. To complete this post,I am adding the editorial for this issue. Enjoy it!

L.C.B. - Dopo Ore Di Silenzio - (Alampo Records-italy-2010)

 

L.C.B. was born in the first months of 2009 in Arezzo, after some free Live-Electronics sessions. Son and successor to a long history in the arena of ambient-industrial music, L.C.B. has a unique individual as father: Giņ.His strong passion for experimentation, audio manipulation, extreme sound,  and above all his attachment to the forerunners of the genre (from Russolo and Bianchi to the present) bring him to explore musical avenues which are free from any rational or stylized order.

L.C.B. is The Man, with his languages, his shifts and cracks, his discomfort.
With his curved behaviour and the whacked hopes.
With his life, too.
With his end, above all.

Dopo Ore Di Silenzio: A collection of 14 tracks recorded in early 2009 from this italian "solitary" project.An eclectic trip from noise to harsh, from cool electronica to old industrial school influence.Many references but truth is that NO ONE sounds like L.C.B. Info taken from Alampo Records webpage where this cd appears to be sold out.The folded cover sleeve reports info and graphix. 

L.C.B. stands for Le Cose Bianche,it means The White Things.Enjoy it. click me
