BIOFILO PANCLASTA/SIN APOYO -Split Tape- (diy-c30-2002-Chile?)

Biofilo Panclasta was a band from Buenos Aires(Argentina),they play a furious HC punk singed in Spanish with political lyrics and the right stops and gos,ramming speed male/female fronted crust, a dozen songs fly by in less than eight minutes and the intensity level starts at maximum and only increases.The name comes from a Colombian anarchist who lived in the beginning of the last century-Biofilo panclasta.
Sin Apoyo come from Chile and play a form of aggressive and fast HC punk with few guitar solos sometimes.They also sing in their mother- language.
This tape came out a co-production between Illegal Recs,Sin Apoyo and Feira de Cultura Libertaria Valparaiso.
I  am pretty sure that is out of print now!
If you are into HC punk this is a jewel that you should not miss!

ANOMIE -Anomie- (Ape recs- France-1994)

Anomie was a band from France active from 1994 to 1997.This tape came out on Ape Recs label.
They have out 1 lp and a split lp with Peace of Mind+  one 7 inch.
On 2001 all the discography was  released on cd as co-production  by Spurt  Recs and Boisleve Recs.
They play an HC punk  that reminds the crust and the emo at the same time.
The cover sleeve on discogs is different  from this one.
A very good demo for the Hc punk lovers worldwide.

MUTACCION GENETICA - carnifuria cosmica-(Dinamita Crisis Ruido-Spain-c60-1993)

Mutaccion genetica is another mystery project-yes I  was not able to find  any info about this band or project,the only 2 things  that I know: 1-they are Spanish 2-They were active in the 90s.

This cassette has 60 songs(wowwoowow)...well the most of them are very very short,and if there are some weird experiments  recalling  the minimal industrial music on the other hand you`ll listen here also  to some strange electro and some stuff more similar to grind core!!!!
Definitely the most structured songs are kind of electro with guitar,bass and drum machine+vocals,but maybe electro is a bit too far from this,well I must say that  I am a bit in trouble trying to explain their music,so you  might just get it and judge yourself.It is a weird yet creative and chaotic attempt to create music!!Imagine Butthole Surfers playing toy instruments under water...or maybe not!!!!
For the lovers of the impossible strange mystery...

AUDIO SCULPTURE-Her heart has been stolen by the golden flame of desire (C40-UK-DIY-199x)

Audio Sculpture was the project of Darren Bentley from England. This was a good name too because his style of sound collage was very thoughtful and organized. Perhaps it was improvised but it hardly sounded like it and it wasn’t always jammed pack with every sound you could imagine. He left a lot of room to breathe on many of his pieces. I believe I may have received at least one other tape from him in the mid-late 1990s. (from The Living Archive of Underground Music by Don Campau)

Very good tape of  industrial  sound-collage experiments here!!
There are not many info on the net about this artist.I believe he`s not active now but ...
Anybody out there with more info??
I really like this tape!!For the lovers of industrial rhythms and dreams!

Rudy & Crudy were born in the summer of 2003 thanks to Bandiera dell’Odio’s former lead vocals (and also 2-tone Neapolitan band Lucky for Fun’s singer) with the complicity of a very young bass player from Caserta.
We started our activity in the milieu of Neapolitan antagonist circles such as Officina 99 and Ska Okkupato, where we contributed to animating their self-managed rehearsal room.
We were interested in practices such as self-production and self-management of spaces and we were also part of the No Copyright collective as we refused to have our songs registered with SIAE. We proposed ourselves as a (completely free) resource for the realities of the movements closer to us, and according to a solidarity perspective we used to go around all over Italy especially in occupied and self-managed spaces without following the rules dictated by the market.  
In spite of this Rudy & Crudy were not a militant band.In the first years the band was made by people having different stories, paths and lives but they all shared passion for music and a strong interest in social issues as well as a sincere antifascist attitude. 
In March 2006 Adriano, Riccardo, Alessandro, Andrea and Antonio recorded and self-produced the one and only CD of the band, which later started frantically changing its members.
As musicians continued to come and go in our band, we were being deprived of the simplicity and candour which had characterized us and we were slowly turning into one of the many bands haunted by the need to have success and make money, a need that badly affected solidarity feelings, enthusiasm and sensibility.  
Inevitably we ceased to exist as a band in February 2012, asphyxiated by selfish ambitions and aspirations to gain.
