v.a.-Nothing To Lose...But Our Chains...(ABC/Counter Information-UK-199?)

 

90 minutes cassette compilation with lots of bands from the political British underground scene of the last century. It was a benefit for the Counter Information paper. The various recordings are pretty good, and there is very little information on the folded cover sleeve.

 A compilation very much from that era mixing HC Punk, Dub, and generally anarcho-punk in its various forms. Big thanks to Mark Terminus for this little gem of the lost and found underground world.Enjoy It.

MANIC MIND CIRCUS-Machina Mortus Christi-(Self Released-UK-1994)

 Another great cassette by this British artist from Reading active on the early 90s.

4 tracks of joyful experiments touching the rap,the dub ,some electro/rock! Sometimes it reminds me The Leftfield. A good K7 from the cave of the 90s.

Enjoy it.

L. S. DIESEL / 2000 DIRTY SQUATTERS - Double Your Money Or Take The Mystery Prize-(Scrap Metal Records-UK-1995)

Amazing split 12" with 2 legendary projects coming from the very underground squatting scene of the 90s. 
I wrote, already, about L.S. Diesel when I posted their classic album "Suicidal Dub" released by Charged in 1996.

2000 Dirty Squatters was a kind of European collective/band born in London on the end of the 80s, a long and detailed biography is here.

Scrap Metal Records was a sub-label of  Scrap Recs, the label founded by 2000 DS, their official webpage offers to us history, pictures, discography and related projects.

In this rare 12" LS Diesel shoot a splendid example of their very idiosyncratic style of electronic music mixing some peculiar hybrid of dub and techno with vocals while on the other side we`ll find the 2000DS playing their distinct and aggressive HC punk.

This is a classic vinyl documenting the great diversity and originality of certain obscure yet astonishing underground culture.  
Enjoy it.

FRATTURA-Anche Senza La Metropolitana-(Malelingue Produzioni & Distribuzioni-Italy-1989)

An old band hailing from the interland of Lecce(Puglia-Southern Italy).On the Aside they offer us a lo-fi HC Punk while on the Bside they play 2 tracks of Dub/Reggae.Political lyrics reported on the A4 folded cover-sleeve,info and addresses included.

Malelingue Distribuzioni was  a small distro and label active in the late 80s in Apulia region and releasing mostly bands from their own area.
