PLAYLIST with COMMENTS/REVIEWS

[Ganesha23]

Been listening to a lot of nerdy 1970s stuff; Frank Zappa, Tangerine Dream, Pink Floyd.

(...)

Also can't get enough SSRI! Also very crazed and '70's.

All right!! All that nerdy, weirdo, spaced/drugged out 70s stuff has been a huge influence to SSRI and Sick Seed as well. Just add King Crimson, Queen and Jethro Tull to the list and you have all my early important musical experiences there.

Extremely glad to see someone make the connection!!!!!

As for recent playlist here:

-Söldnergeist:Terror CD
-Umpio: Blind Faith and Mono Dogma tapes
-loads of CMX (Finnish band that all true underground music fans hate)

Yellow Swans - Going Places (CD)
I haven't listened to this since it came out. 2 years ago I was driving on the highway listening to the CD in the early morning, watching the sun rise over fog on the east coast Maryland, it was perfect. Listening to it again it's even better than I remember! Specifically the song Opt-Out which sounds like skyscrapers being twisted and torn down by massive tornadoes.

Tape sleeve says two tracks in about 30 minutes but it sounds like more tracks for longer.

Apparently there's some alternative one off version of this tape somewhere out there, with track titles and different mastering? :) Let me know about the volume drop your referring to since that could be a dubbing mistake form our side

Now:

Electric Wizard "black masses"- I didn't like this much when I first d/l'd it but it's sounding better now so I may order the vinyl soon.

[Andrew McIntosh]

Michael Hoenig + Manuel Gottsching - Early Water 1976 - Ash Ra/Ash Ra Tempel - slightly modern sound - really easy listen - one track at 48+ minutes, and it could have been 2-3Xs as long as far as I'm concerned.

Fantastic album.

Only because they're not Nitzer Ebb brand of stupid. Much like everything else 99% of it is shit, or working well within the confines of genre definition and really contributing nothing. Vomito Negro was another that transcended the definition, albums full of songs that sounded nothing alike, using many different vocal styles. Imo the best of the Belgian crop.

Mauthausen Orchestra -- Anal Perversions LP
I compared this to the original Aquilifer Sodality tape release, and the LP sounds great! Why this was limited to 99 copies I can not understand though. Since it sold out in a few hours, any label would be insane not to do a second pressing... love the cover image, btw.

Merzbow -- Kibbutz LP
Uhhh... I hate these covers. White vinyl LP comes in a PVC sleeve with a small paper insert, no inner sleeve. The sides of these PVC sleeves always split open, mine had splits on two sides when I got it in the mail. Hell, I don't even care much for the sounds actually. One of the weaker Merz-recordings in my opinion.

+ the mono versions of Psychedelic Sounds + Easter Everywhere from the 13th Floor Elevators 10CD box.
