Grave - Grave I (1975)

"Another one of those sacred "heavy progressive" legends! Grave were a band of teenagers that formed in a Brinkum (near Bremen) basement in 1975. With a primitive tape recorder, six tracks were recorded live in the studio (Summer 1975) and released as Grave I in a limited edition of 100 copies. This was plain, straight forward and simple garage rock, like the fast competent rehearsals from your neighbourhood teenage combo. I cannot understand why this has become such a hunted collector's item, and that people are prepared to pay 1,000 DEM for it! But of course, other people have different opinions."

Anarchism in America (1983)

"Decentralism and self management are at the heart of the anarchist philosophy. Anarchists pose the question - why should the decisions that affect our lives be made in a remote centralist seat of government, it doesn't make sense? People should administer their own lives not relegate responsibility to somebody else."

Anarchism in America is a 1983 documentary, directed by Steven Fischler and Joel Sucher, and produced by Pacific Street Films. The film begins by explaining the filmmakers' interest in anarchism based on their involvement in the group Transcendental Students while in film school at NYU. The film includes interviews with influential anarchists Murray Bookchin, Paul Avrich, Jello Biafra, Mollie Steimer and Karl Hess, and with poet Kenneth Rexroth. It also discusses the Spanish Civil War, the 1917 Revolution, the influence of Emma Goldman and the case of executed anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti.

The film labels anarchism as the only ideology that is staunchly anti-authoritarian, and discusses how anarchist ideals align with the revolutionary, independent spirit of America from rural communities to urban zones.

When Throbbing Gristle was terminated in 1981 Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti signed to Rough Trade Records and began recording and performing as CHRIS & COSEY. From the very start they indulgently utilised electronics, sampling, rhythms and Cosey's distinctive vocals, cornet and guitar style. In 1982 they formed their own offshoot record label Conspiracy International for their more experimental recordings and collaborative projects. CTI continues to run alongside CARTER and TUTTI's more accessible work.

Metal Messiah (1978)

Billed as the “ultimate space rock spectacle of the 1970’s” The original production first appeared on the Canadian stage in 1975, but was cancelled because of its controversial and shocking subject matter. Producer and author Stephen Zoller, and director Tibor Takacs have since turned the property into an 80-minute feature film.

Throughout the movie, the character of the title haunts the streets of Anywhere City in a trenchcoat and Borsalino hat, as ethereal as his mission — like the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse, the rider of the white horse whose purpose is shrouded in mystery. He embodies innocence and Christ-like victimized purity, yet his presence signals an onslaught of frenzied destruction and mindless depravity.

Time, space and mankind itself are manipulated for their ultimate shock values in Metal Messiah. Indeed, it is a film that consumes itself with a self-directed study of power abuse. Rock and roll and fascism coexist in a lifestyle of sex, violence and dark prophesies. Read more

OK I know nothing of this fella, never heard of him, that is until I stumbled across a video whilst perusing a YouTube channel I visit fairly regularly called The Hills of Granada which hosts the amazing John Trubee videos, the D.U.I. VHS clips and other mad shit. So, after gorping at the net for an hour or so I found absolutely nothing on this strange character Mr Smack, well apart this post on Dangerous Minds ...which enlightened me to the man a little, so if you can be arsed go read it.

And the point of all this being? Well, I've shamelessly ripped the tracks from the said YouTuber ...if you FLAC snobs don't mind getting dirty?

Folk Music of the Sahara: Among the Tuareg of Libya

Folk music of the Sahara is an intoxicating experience of sight and sound captured among the Tuareg and Libyan people of North Central Africa. Filmed from the perspective of actually being one of the performers, this mind-blowing IN YOUR FACE document captures the spirit of Libyan folklore and the essence of emotion armed with pounding rhythms and wailing vocal choruses. Both men and women are featured here equally as overseers of the hybrid forms of expression where central African traditions collide with the tones and colors of the Arab world creating one of the most unique overviews of Saharan folk music ensemble and dance the outside world has ever witnessed. The diversity of faces is extraordinary, every costume is stunning, and the women are among the most beautiful on earth. If you ever wondered where some of western music’s more exotic ideas originated from ( Sun Ra’s Arkestra/call and response choruses/ trance drumming/ and even some forms of modern hip-hop) this is a great place to start!

Dirty Pictures

Alexander "Sasha" Shulgin is the scientist behind more than 200 psychedelic compounds including MDMA, more commonly known as Ecstasy. Considered to be one of the greatest chemists of the twentieth century, Sasha's vast array of discoveries have had a profound impact in the field of psychedelic research. By employing unorthodox methods including, working from a makeshift lab in his home and testing his creations on himself, Shulgin has gained the reputation of a modern day alchemist within the scientific community.

At one point, Dirty Pictures transports us to Burning Man, where we watch a pack of free spirits cruising around the desert in flame-spewing tentacle-mobiles. Which is exactly the kind of blissy neon bacchanalia that springs to mind when we think of recreational Ecstasy use. But what started it all? Here, filmmaker Étienne Sauret gives us an endearing portrait of Alexander “Sasha” Shulgin, the man who first popularized MDMA. A former Dow Chemical drug developer who went off the reservation long ago, Shulgin continues his homebrew experiments to this day. Quiet, thoughtful, and meandering, Dirty Pictures shows him puttering in his woodshed lab (a wild alchemist’s tangle), getting raided by the DEA, and hanging out with his fellow subversive chemists. A celebration of invention rather than a pro-drug screed — the “dirty pictures” are actually the molecular diagrams Shulgin lovingly draws on the outside of his chemical vials.

Rare documentary about magical healing in the Himalayas. Directed by Michael Oppitz and narrated in part by William S. Burroughs.
The film explores in fascinating detail the Great Inner Asian Tradition of shamanism, as preserved in the secluded society of the Northern Magar in Central West Nepal. Part One focuses on the sumptuous rituals performed by the Magar shamans during their night-long seances. Their methods of diagnosis and treatment, their techniques of possession and their ritual journeys, undertaken to recover the fugitive souls of their patients, are all encoded in a rich, symbolic language of signs and gestures. Part Two concentrates on the transmission of the shaman's profession; following successive tests of aptitude and initiation rites, a shaman (male or female) is born on a conifer tree, the tree of life, during a lavish three-day ceremony. West German filmmaker Michael Oppitz (who dedicates his film to Maya Deren) attempts to recreate the ethnographer's experience visually: what are at first seemingly incomprehensible images and sequences gradually take on meaning as the takes become longer and the film approaches real time. Mythical songs, in which all present-day activities of Magar healers are codified, are at the core of Magar religious life and determine its ethos, which in essence is epic.
