CHAOS C.H./ADDICTION-Hard Core Punk Split Tape-(Not On Label-Japan-1994)

Split tape with two japanese bands playing HC punk.

Chaos C.H. (C.H. stands for Channel) and Addiction.

The recordings are a bit chaotic/noisy + diy style and the lyrics are pretty much political messages.

Punk as Fuck.

PANG N2-(Fanzine-Italy-1995)

Second number of this very good fanzine curated by Claudio Pomo in Firenze during the mid 90s,Claudio was also running a distro.

In this issue lots of personal thoughts,reviews of zines and music cassettes,vynils and cds.

A nice fanzine,in Italian language only.

Buona Lettura.

KIA KARMA-Untitled-(Self Released-Poland/Thailand-2007)

This is an excellent cd of esoteric electronickx!
A kind of very limited production released in 2007 and distributed only among close friends.The nickname of this artist is Caramadeha (or Brat Salo- old nick name).The cd evolves in sonic areas such as ambient-noise,ritual,magick and tantra music.

A bandcamp page about this project offer us other amazing productions,all as free download yet this cd is not there.

There is also a myspace page where you can find more info about this obscure yet brilliant program. Caramadeha is also involved in the musical project Sigill,they released an astonishing split cd with Different State,you`ll find it here.

A very big thanx to Caramadeha for giving me permission to post this pure gem and to Marek for introducing me to such great artist.

Enjoy it.

RECUSANT/PORC BLEU-Last Squeal-(Self Released-France-199?)

Amazing split tape with two french bands  active in the 90s.Both bands play a strange and difficult music to describe.

Deviated,psychotic,broken rhythms, different vocals,weird lyrics,crazy passages,hilarious changes of  song`s structures and more  deranged alternated jingles make those bands standing aside lots of other punk bands,the spirit is there but the music goes beyond the usual punk clichés reaching very personal and somehow abnormal dimensions of song writing.

For many things both bands reminds me the music of Headache,infact,they are all friends,and Recusant released a split tape and a split 7inch with the french band based in Leeds:Headache, in 1994.

This tape comes in a very special cardboard
package including an info sheet.(all the relevant scans included in this folder).
The release date is not stated anywhere,I guess this came out in the mid 90s.

I love this tape.It is a small masterpiece of deranged fantasy and extreme "off the this planet" creativity.
Enjoy it.

Under The Flag Issue 10-(Magazine-Belgium-1997)

Small yet very interesting and well done free magazine exploring the electro-industrial and grey area music scene.

Good articles,interviews and lots of reviews of cds,cassettes and fanzines.

A great tool to research the lively european industrial network of the late 90s. 

Enjoy it.

v.a-Recompilatorio Benefico Liberacion Animal "Angry Voices"-(Not On Label(?)-Spain(?)-199?)

This tape is a great international compilation featuring various bands playing Sludge, HC Punk and somehow heavy riffs with screamed angry vocals. It was a  benefit for an animal rights organisation as the name in Spanish states.

I am sure it came out with a booklet explaining the benefit and giving us info about those good bands, unfortunately   I`ve lost the booklet, therefore, I have very little clues about this production and those bands, any soul out there with more info about this great cassette???

I `d love to know more.
Enjoy it.

v.a.-REALLY FAST Vol.4-(Really Fast Records-Sweden-1988)

This is a classic from the wonderful 80s.It was released by the legendary Really Fast Records.

DIY label from Mjölby, Sweden. Founded by Patrik Jonsson, Staffan Fagerberg and Peter Pinaitis in late 1981, it seems to be still active.A very interesting interview with Patrik Jonsson is here.

14 bands playing furious and very fast (indeed)old school  HC Punk.
In this folder, you`ll find the pics of the folded cover sleeve reporting lyrics, band addresses and graphics/pictures.
Great sampler for old and new generations of fast and raw punk music lovers.
Enjoy it.
