TOM TYLER - Asleep At The Switch- (D.C. Recordings-UK-2000)


A complex and underrated album by Tom Tyler. Fusing a range of influences that touch electronic jazz, Hip-Hop, and downtempo, it will transport you to another desert of bliss and void. Tom Tyler`s Youtube Channel offers us more amazing music. His Bandcamp page is here, from there this introduction :

From 1998 to 2005 Tom Tyler released a series of EPs & 2 LPs on J Saul Kane's acclaimed DC Recordings imprint, and remixed artists such as The Cinematic Orchestra and Sofa Surfers. He was also a member of Stromba, who released the LP "Tales From The Sitting Room" on FatCat Records.  click me

v.a. - BUAV Benefit - (Buav-UK-199?)


 BUAV stands for "British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection"! This extensive compilation tape features numerous bands active during the 1980s, primarily in the hardcore punk scene. It came out with a booklet, each band has a page containing lyrics, graphics and/or messages against vivisection. No date of release is stated anywhere, yet it is my understanding that it was released during the 90s. The quality of the recordings changes from song to song, as overall it is pretty good. Expect lots of HC punk in its various forms, some post-punk and Terminus playing some political folk songs. A big thanks to Mark Terminus for donating this great sampler to this blog. Enjoy it.

SL&C n10 - (Fanzine-South Africa-200?)


 Fantastic fanzine from South Africa with lots of very good articles, flyers, pictures, interviews, reports, and music reviews! It came out with a great CD compilation that I, sadly, lost...! Sorry, it is not included with it. About a real introduction I attach their "Welcome Note" from the 1st page. And, by way SL&C stands for Peace, Love & Chaos. Enjoy it.
