DEATH - Reign Of Terror Demo, fan-club version (1984)...

1984 was a major year for metal. Venom had exploded onto the scene in 1981-82 and were the gold standard for brutality in metal, Hellhammer had their demos going in the underground and were quickly making Venom sound dated, thrash was all the rage, and Death’s competitors for the death metal throne, Possessed, were getting their shit together with a demo of their own. Chuck was quite the listener, it seems, for Reign of Terror, unleashed into the maelstrom of extreme metal that existed in 1984, took the best parts of the aforementioned entities and put them together into a vicious blend. Reign of Terror is more death/thrash than pure death metal, unless of course you’re one of those virgin death metal fans who think that the growls define the music. The riffs are the dead giveaway – brutal tremolo-picked monstrosities played at a speed not even Possessed dared to go.

Far East Family Band - Parallel World (Columbia/Mu Land, 1976)...

This righteous kosmische union of Japanese commune band and legendary Krautrock producer Klaus Schultze yielded two sides of extraordinary meditative space rock, setting it apart from almost all other Japrock. Only Speed, Glue and Shinki's long Moog suite and M. Satoh's Yamatai-Fu approach this unworldly beast... The l.p. sees the producer arrange the twin synthesisers of Akira Ito and Kitaro around Shizu Takahashi's drums, pushing guitars, bass and voices to the horizon. Like the so-called Celtic languages, Japanese often cloaks its meanings in ambiguity and none more so than in this work. Acting as a smokescreen for two seamless 30 minute sides of music, the many titles contain multiple meanings and intentional ambiguities to further mystify... By journey's end, so-called reality appears somewhat raw to the cushioned and cocooned listener. (Japrocksampler)

DEATH (Mantas) - Death By Metal demo (1984)...

The first official DEATH recording emerges in the underground: the rehearsal tape "Death By Metal", which is recorded in the garage of Chuck's mom on Rick's Panasonic tape recorder. Chuck is 17. Mantas splits up briefly. Chuck plans a new band, simply called DEATH. After a couple of weeks of searching, Chuck finds he must resort once again to working with Rick Rozz and Kam Lee. Death By Metal is given a new tape cover when the band name changes.

v/a Stonehenge Records Compilation (1993-2005)...

So... the other night i had a nerd-out and downloaded the all the media mp3s from the French D.I.Y. Screamo label Stonehenge (seeing as there was so much decent stuff on there), then laboriously edited them into this 31 track compilation. Not all of the mp3's available are here because some of them just plain bored me at the time and i just could'nt hack another super long playlist. If because of this you feel 'hard done by' then feel free to get in touch and we could arrange a meeting where you can suck down deep on my thin, pointy, cock until the back of your throat bleeds...

Ballast - Demo Cassette(2003)...

Rip-roarin' female fronted melodic Anarcho/Crust from Montreal, Québec. Formed in 2001, then quit playing in 2006 and now go under the name of Preying Hands. This demo features tracks from the Numb Again e.p.(2004), Ballast s/t(2004),"The Stand Off" 7"(2005) and the Sound Asleep l.p.(2005)

(2 female and 3 male, from various places around north america: british colombia, québec, ontario, and mississippi.) we are, as a band and as people, anti-racist, queer- friendly, and anti- sexist. we try to address issues that affect both us specifically and humanity in general, ranging from topics more overtly political (north american native struggles, resistance to bush's "war on terror" abroad and the state repression that has come along with it here in north america, the beauty industry and its destructive affect on the lives on women) to the more personal (frustration with having to live under the shadow of exploitative capitalism and dealing with bosses and landlords.(Ballast)

Pink Floyd - Meddle (MFSL UDCD, 1989/Harvest,1971)...

The album most Floyd fans think to be the first great album since Syd Barrett was kicked out for being an acid casualty and the band 'finding their sound' also the first recorded appearance of David Gilmour on vocals.
Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MFSL) was formed in 1977, they mastered recordings onto vinyl, cassettes, and compact discs from original master tapes to produce the highest quality releases. They specialized in half-speed master lacquer cutting, quality plating from overseas, imported pressings from Japan, special high-definition vinyl, and static-free inner sleeves. Although the company produced some of the finest audio releases in the world, cost considerations forced the company to cease operations on November 19, 1999.

Orhan Gencebay - Felek Gurbete Attin...

Shark Move - Chede Chokra's Shark Move (Shadoks, 1970)...

(Epicly melodramatic and morosely weird fuzzed out psych, morose like the track at the end of the 80's tv series 'Monkey')

Another heavy title from Shadoks that restores an obscure 1970 psych monster from Indonesia. Shark Move have that classic slow sunrise sound of countless South American titans mixed with the kind of sunburst vocal style that floats the best of the UK freakbeat sides (Jason Crest et al), crunching fuzz, heavy keyboards and kaleidoscopic song stylings. This is ambitious, florid psych that should please anyone who digs the more dramatic UK sugarcube moments as much as the more enjoyably complex Euro prog shit. And if that ain't you, who the fuck is it? - Volcanic Tongue

v/a Safe Travel With Phil Pratt & Friends 1966-1968 (Pressure Sounds, 2005)...

There are no need for emergency exits on this train of true true Rocksteady gems, because, frankly, who the hell would want to get of this train! Absolutely essential, it doesn't matter if you've never heard Rocksteady, or are a devotee of Lady Saw, there is absolutely no way, no excuse, no reason on earth why this cd shouldn't be in your collection. It's not just that there are tunes here the 'Cognacenti' will have searched high and low for... for ever, it's not just the good quality mastering of the tunes, nor the packaging & sleeve notes, or the general excellent job we can always expect from PS, but that songs of this quality would shine if they were covered in 50 tonnes of shite...! Top tune for me on the set is... Alva 'Reggie' Lewis's 'Suicide ( Hang My Head And Cry)' - but they're all killer... all the way - Mike Murphy

HERE

Ildjarn - Ildjarn Is Dead (Northern Heritage, 2005)...

Order From Chaos - Dawn Bringer (Shivadarshana, 1994)...

Order From Chaos was Pete Helmkamp's band prior to the mighty Angelcorpse, and their style was raw death metal with lots of tempo changes and Helmkamp's token snarl. Some of the longer tracks like "War and Pain" and "Tenebrae" bring in a few subtly melodic/dissonant chords and lots of chugging midpaced breaks that can get really heavy, but there's plenty of speed as well as a lot of experimental sort of elements (large portions of noise textures and vocal effects in "Labyrinthine Whispers", strange piano and some spoken vocals in "Webs of Perdition", etc.). The recording is of course dated and certainly rugged, but the thick texture of the guitar tone is fucking awesome for what they're were doing.

HERE

Deathchurch - Unsilent Hate Anthem (Klaxon/NWNProd, 2007)...

Last EP of rawest Japanese Black Metal band who were active from 2002 to 2006, which was recorded in early 2004. Lo-fi production, no tight playing, just blasts of noise, screams of anguish, destructive distortion!

3 Vomit Upon the Burning Heaven / Black Cum Suffocation [5:20]

XEXYZ - Primeval Mountain (Dipsomaniac/Illinoisan Thunder, 2006)...

Joy Division - Les Bains Douches 18 December 1979 (NMC, 2001)...

(way better than the studio recorded material)

HERE

Crazy Arabs...

Dust - Hard Attack (Kama Sutra, 1971)...

Not as hard as it looks, still a proto-metal classic albeit with acoustic and cheese thrown in. Great album cover too by Frank Frazetta (click to enlarge?)

Rigor Mortis s/t (Capitol, 1988)...

Probably the band that first produced the sense of wrist energy that later propelled bands such as Mayhem to the forefront with their emergent attack of rhythmic genesis and recursion, these musicians utilize the high-speed shred of fast strummed chords to produce a fluid motion against which the counterpoint of drum rhythm and phrase transition creates a jarring but lucid transferral of energy to a different degree of power. Sawing melodic patterns create ambient classical music from their accumulation of tension from interjection of black metal-style chaotic patterns within dominant patterns reflected in an overall stream of tonal relationships that builds the foundation for each context in the meta-context of the overall contrast of dominant riff to song structure as an entirety. Brilliantly lucid, overflowing energetic lead guitar spills through harmonic space in a silvery powerburst of articulations in chaotic modulation that approaches a post-scalar method of understanding note relationships and presages the atonal developments in death metal shared by Morbid Angel and Suffocation. No praise is too high for this band - they were relentless innovators who pioneered the future of black metal rhythm and death metal structure while emphasizing the underlying compositional differences between metal music and the more rock-based aesthetic alternatives in its history. Shouted vocals approximate a more enunciative version of the speed metal style and keep a link to the cruising bass and blasting percussion of the rhythm section - A.N.U.S.

Van Wastell 1984 - 2008...

Rhys Chatham - An Angel Moves Too Fast To See : Selected Works 1971 - 1989 (Table Of The Elements, 2002)...

At first glance, New York-born composer Rhys Chatham might have seemed unlikely to alter the DNA of rock. A classically trained musician, Chatham was piano tuner to Glenn Gould and La Monte Young, student of Young and Morton Subotnick, protégée of Tony Conrad, and in 1971, while still in his teens, founder of the highly influential experimental music program at the Kitchen in lower Manhattan. Nevertheless, it was Rhys Chatham who first applied multiple electric guitars to the extended-duration, overtone-drenched minimalism of the 1960s. This amalgamation -- of the intellectual experimentalism and textural sophistication of the avant-garde with the rhythmic brashness and visceral punch of punk rock -- produced a raucous, ecstatic new type of urban music that energized the downtown New York scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s, a music whose influence can be heard in the subsequent work of the many luminaries who participated in Chatham's ensembles, including Glenn Branca and members of Sonic Youth, Mars, Band of Susans and Swans.
A comprehensive 3-disc retrospective, An Angel Moves Too Fast to See includes all of Chatham's major "minimal" pieces, ranging from the thunderous "Two Gongs" (1971) and the No-Wave tumult of "Guitar Trio" (1977) to the brass-based "Massacre on MacDougal Street" (1982) and the epic, previously unreleased "An Angel Moves Too Fast to See" (1989), scored for an orchestra of 100 electric guitars.
