Lowlife - The Black Sessions And Demos LP (1988)
[Nightshift - Lolif demo 1] ltd edt of 250 copies

Do you like that amazing early Cocteaus sound? Part of the secret was Will Heggie's bass. After the release of Garlands he left the Cocteaus and teamed up with hometown psychobilly band Dead Neighbours who also released an album and lost the bass player. They still released another album under Dead Neighbours but another line-up change made them chose another name and a different style. Lowlife was born taking its name from a P.I.L. song.
This album is not a proper album but it's official. I remember I got it from their original site. They put some songs from their discography to download but you could check the entire index folder where the songs were allocated... and all the tracks from this album were there despite the site only giving the address to two of them...

POSTED BY REQUEST

just a few things that mean a lot about this band
The Fall Of Because got their name from a song on Killing Joke's second album (What's This For...! 1981)
The band disintegrated in 1987 when Justin left Napalm Death to play drums for Head Of David, but got back together soon after and changed their name to Godflesh.
Tracks 9 through to 11 are live recordings.

Creaming Jesus - Ditch Dweller V...The Story Continues EP (1991)
[Jungle Records JUNG 57CD]

This is also somewhat hard to find. For those of you who don't know Creaming Jesus, they were very popular amongst the goth crowd in the early nineties. Their style is something of a crossover goth/hardcore and it got them many fans with a string of EPs and the "too fat to run too stupid to hide" 1991 album and got (in)famous with their covers of The Cure's "A Forest" and Sisters' "Temple Of Love" [dubbed Temple Of Shite] which inspired quite a few laughs.

Tuxedomon - Vapour Trails (2007)
[Crammed CBOY 1616]

This has just come out [September 07th]. I haven't seen it yet on other blogs and almost nowhere else online, for that matter, so I'm delivering it.
Tuxedomoon are the most european of any american band hence their uniqueness. They're celebrating 30 years this year (if you still don't know them what have you been up to?) with the release of a triple CD+DVD box set called "77o7 tm".
The three CD are this new album ["Vapour Trails"], a compilation of demos and live tracks 1977-1997 ["Unearthed: Lost Cords"] and a concert recorded in Portalegre (Portugal) on 16feb07 ["162o7 (39°N 7°W)"].
The 160min long DVD is called "Unearthed: Found Films" and comprises archive and unreleased material (1977-1988) including Ghost Sonata.

Ikon - I Never Wanted You CDs (2004)
[Nile Records Australia NIL 014]

This is something I didn't know existed. So I thought: "I'll post it". This is in the vein of the later 'electro-trance-ghost in my head' Ikon era. It's worth comes from the yet another Death In June cover - Come Before Christ And Murder Love (after their earlier powerful rendition of Fall Apart).

Drown me with your sorrow
Taint me with your treason
To find your god is hollow
Brings death to all reason
Wolf grey adonis
A cruel life dawns
Curse me with obessiveness
Fultility and scorn
Moved to speak?
You made your choice
We had our chance
And lost our voice
Your alleyway, your terror
Glistens in dispair
Dead meat and error
The only crown I'll wear
From the ashes of liars
Grow the flowers of hope
From the steeples and spires
Hang each tear from a rope
Moved to speak?
You made your choice
We had our chance
And lost our voice

White No. 13 [100 ears]

Glenn Branca - Symphony No. 13 (Hallucination City: : Symphony for 100 Guitars)
Performed June 13, 2001 in New York City

I had to upload this to share with someone who asked me to because he couldn't find it anywhere else and my SoulSeek kept giving him errors. So I thought I should do a post about it.
I prefer not to write about Mr Branca because his work speaks for himself. For more than 30 years he's been trying to change the way to experience guitar listening. Many bands were sub-sub...subinfluenced by him. By this I mean that he influenced bands that in their turn influenced other bands which influenced many others. Thurston Moore and Lee Renaldo from Sonic Youth and Michael Gira (Swans) began their careers playing within his ensemble.
Just like Rhys Chatham he composes symphonies to be played by dozens (or hundred guitars).
On June 13th Glenn performed the world premiere of "Symphony #13 (Hallucination City)"for 100 guitars produced by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council as part of "EveningStars" at the former World Trade Center, originally commissioned by The Mission for the Year 2000, Paris. Glenn said "The piece was a resounding success and we got a standing ovation. At least that's what I'm told. I didn't notice."

Obsession Whispers Into The Dark Progress

Siglo XX - Live Sides LP (1984)
[Antler ANT 031-2]

This is another forgotten band. Their sound is exquisitely unique. Someone pins them to the french cold-wave but to me they sounded like Siglo XX... (as Clan Of Xymox sounded like Clan Of Xymox back in 1985, and like other bands did sound like themselves). Besides that they were Belgian.
Belgian people, in general, and artists in particular, tend to be very true to themselves thus achieving really singular works. That's why they were ripped off by the spanish in the past and masochistically use spanish words today.
Well, I don't know who ripped these Belgians but He did good...
This is a live LP recorded early in their career. We could say that, as it was recorded and released way before their major three albums: Flowers For The Rebels (1987); Fear And Desire (1988) and Under A Purple Sky (1989)
Together with "Siglo XX" (mLP) [Antler ANT 031-1], Live Sides makes up the 1984 'Double Album' (2xLP) [Antler ANT 031] - The 5 tracks from "Siglo XX" can be found on the 1987 "Antler Tracks I" compilation CD [Antler ANT 087].

Volk Ju(n)gend

Archétypo 120 - Obsession
[promo CD]

I'm posting this at the request of my friend Vimaranes. It's a promo CD of his band. It's an advance of their album recorded by David Reis (In tempus / ex-Phantom Vision), last year in his studios on Quinta do Conde and produced by Pedro Morcego (Phantom Vision) at Batcave Studios, Amadora.
The band is three years old and comprises two members: Tó (programming, electric and portuguese guitars, bass) and Paulo Martins (lyrics, vocals, portuguese and electric guitars, percussion, some programming, backing vocals; bass). In this record they've had the help of David Reis (percussion) and Pedro Morcego (backing vocals, bass). Tó and Paulo's first band (Anomeos) played in the mythic portuguese venue Rock Rendez Vous in 1989.
They say their style is cold/darkwave even though their major influences could point various directions: The Cure, Fields Of The Nephilim, 4AD, The Chameleons, The Cure, early Ban, Sétima Legião, Joy Division, 4AD, The Cure, New Order, Clan Of Xymox, Death In June, The Cure, french cold wave, 4AD and Trás-os-Montes...
If this wasn't made by someone of my acquaintances I would post it even sooner (should I grab a recording) and would certainly say it was amazing...

new file host - MediaFire

After complaints about Crocodile and myself verifying it was very confuse besides it took an eternity to upload 26MB, I decided to look for another file share host. I tried Badongo but it took an eternity as well and the Badongo Buddy crashed!
Now I discovered MediaFire. I was surprisingly pleased with the upload part. Please give me some feedback about the download side of it...
I will re-edit the Dream Disciples post to include the MediaFire share url.

Burn These Apples

Dream Disciples - Veil Of Tears (1991)
[Darkcell Music]

Another record I was seeking for a long time. Of course that now that I heard it again it doesn't sound as good as it did 15 years ago (I don't listen to tapes anymore - they're all scattered beneath my bed at my parent's place). Back then this was the new goth. People were reinventing the genre and coming up with many different and interesting things. Now it's all metal...
Nevertheless it still sounds fresh as this trail (of fears, pun intended) was abruptely stopped and no-one nowadays knows this kind of sound.

Songs From The Unclean Womb

Womb - Unclean CD (1999)
[self GFCD/001]

On my return to the posts I thought of something new back from 1999. It's eight-year old new stuff. It's so new it's called Womb, Greg Ferrari's single-minded goth project.
Greg Ferrari was a The Smiths' loving open-minded London goth who made music in his basement with his own electronic devices.
I heard the band (he, his friend Joanne Owen from Leisure Hive, and drum machine/sequancer/tapes) once in the 1998 edition of the Sacrosanct Festival. Despite annoyed with the abusive use of taped guitars (he played one but many other layers were there), I enjoyed their sound and posture in music.
This album came to my hand one year later and proved to be even better.
Greg released another album, "Spiteful Extractions", in 2001, which I'm still looking for [anyone?]
Greg and Joanne are now in Naevus, a well-known dark-folk band with their fifth full length album released last month.

Like Dolphins Can Swim

Clan Of Xymox - Heroes EP (18/05/2007)
[Pandaimonium Records Pan-64]

A little something from a once (with comebacks) great band, I picked up a few days ago from www.mp3db.ru

Here's the press release:

Ronny Moorings has reappeared after years out of the spotlight on a cover version that, as expected, showcases his talents. With "Heroes" he takes one of the classics in music history and gives it back to the fans, new and improved. The industrial version of the song is slow, almost melancholic - in other words, typical CLAN OF XYMOX - while the pop version of the original song is more of an homage to his time without the Clan. The first time Ronny performed the song was as a guest singer for PINK TURNS BLUE at Wave Gotik Treffen 2006. "On A Mission" is a brand new track, done in the best tradition of club hits such as “There’s No Tomorrow” or “Weak In My Knees”. This isn't the first time we've said it, and it won't be the last, but no other artist outside of Ronny can get modern Electro sounds out of a guitar for the Dancefloor scene and remain trend free. This is the reason for his longevity and his loyal fanbase. With “Be My Friend”, one of the most successful songs from the “Breaking Point” album comes in a single edit.

I Just Dropped In (...)

Hello Planet Earth!
I'm still without internet connection. There's too much burocracy here in Portugal...
I'm hijacking someone else's wireless connection ;-) ...
I'll try to post something this way and if the connection holds up I'll keep this running like this until they install my new connection.
Keep dropping by.

Hit The North!

I'm moving so I'll be without internet for at least one month.
But don't despair because when everything is up and running all will be downhill from there...
Cheers and thanks for dropping by...

Rosetta Stone Undead

Rumour has it that Rosetta Stone reunited!!!
Several russian sites are spreading the word and starting demands on eventful for them to play near them.
Their myspace also mentions the petitions made on eventful.
So I started two demands also, for them to play in Portugal.
Se algum Português estiver a ler isto que não perca tempo e vá já pedir para os Rosetta Stone virem tocar a Lisboa e Porto:

Midnight Call

As promised, here's the post with Midnight Call.I became aware of this band's existence when I was a rookie in the net back in 1994. The internet itself was new to the general public and still confined within college grounds. In those days we used orange (or green) and black monocromatic monitors in an unix environment and a few programs. One was 'elm' which was an email client. The other was 'tin', to read newsgroups. In the newsgroups we learnt many musical updates and we could post whatever we wanted. I used to browse through alt.gothic or alt.music.alternative but there were other things like alt.music.lyrics or alt.zines and there were alt.binaries.something to get images and you could also go to ftp sites (through the unix command-line) and get stuff.People used to post lists for trading and at that time I still was into tape trading in which I was iniciated in 1990 and left when the mp3 came along (or shortly after). I once replied to a post of Sisters Of Mercy bootleg videos and at that time I was preparing the first issue of Mehr Licht! so I had a mention to it in my signature. That post was done by one Shawn Keve. He then told me he was the singer in this band, Midnight Call, and if he could send me the one single they had released so far.When he eventually send me the single they already had another one. Both were reviewed in the zine and I praised the band altogether but the b-side to the first one was the one track that captured all my senses. I thought they were going a long way. I kept playing the singles over and over and "Sunshine" always (and still does to this day) made me want to jump, dance, sing, mime the guitar parts, whatever... Here was a band that I had discovered from scratch and that made me feel the same as the ones I worshipped.
They've also contributed with a song (Follow) to the Castle von Buhler 1996 'Soon' Aids Benefit CD, in which each band invited an artist to illustrate their page on the booklet.
The last time I talked to them was when I was planning the release of the compilation CD to go along with issue #9 and asked them for permission to include two tracks. I wanted to put Sunshine and a new one and if they could send me something. They sent a demo CD-R with four tracks that they were working on to be released in their first album. This was in 1999.
The album was never released and I heard nothing else from them ever since. Their website didn't change either. I guess they called it quits as they were desillusioned with the music medium and all the scenes and what happened in Boston, their hometown. They were so unique that they didn't fit in any scene and didn't want to belong to any lobby (which is what scenes are) either.
Download this and see if you feel the same as I do. And if you like Midnight Call you can't buy their records but you can listen to this over and over. I think they would appreciate it.
Enjoy / Hear The Call

Another Ripped

Clockwork - Idolized By The Proles tape (1997)
[Chrome Yellow kCY701]

At Vimaranes request I'm posting this tape I compiled once of rare tracks from a band of some friends of mine. Their influences were mainly Sonic Youth and Spacemen 3 and they released 2 full length albums, one 7" and a split7" (as well as contributing tracks to compilations).
Following is the text I wrote when I first ripped the tape to mp3, back in 18jan2001.

This whole story began shortly after the released of their eponymous first album om March '97.
Susanói said they had so many good songs and others in very good versions never released for one reason or another...
We came to the conclusion it could be done and that it was a good and efficient birthday gift to Pastel.
Then I took it upon myself to undertake the task of compiling those songs...
Taborda (Chefe's brother and official repository of their work) had about half a dozen of tapes of theirs comprising live gigs as well as rehearsals and demos. I had three of their concerts on videotape. So it began from there...
My aim was to depict a different side to Clockwork, not available on what was released hitherto.
I managed to put together tracks that never left the rehearsal room, other only played live once, instrumental versions, one cover as well as brilliant live versions of well known but mis-achieved studio tracks.
The A(udio)-side was compiled with Taborda's tapes whereas the B(ideo)-side was taken from my videotapes.
Some songs had a lousy sound quality but what really mattered was the novelty, the freshness, the discovery, the magnificence of it and not so much the quality of the recordings.
The tapes were then recorded, as requests were made, on *Pixie's deck. Side A(udio) from my original compiled side and side B(ideo) from a compiled videotape. Tapes should not be SONY and MAXELL were the supported ones, for its length.
Then I needed to make a cover for the tape. I knew Tipo had some great photos taken at Aveiro the year before. He lent me the photos as well as another one taken by Lights at the launch of Clockwork's album.
I had to scan the photos at Esgar's, their label owner... He closed his eyes and said it was a good idea.
The cover was done using PageMaker, a desktop publishing tool I was already accostumed to.
The tape was 'released' under Chrome Yellow records, my own label, and given the catalogue number kCY 701.
I don't know how many copies were made. Maybe five, maybe six... Only 13 covers were made but I still have a few...
The title of this compilation was inspired on the fact that what we really liked about Clockwork was not depicted on their official releases...

Pastel got his gift more than a month in retard. But he liked and they all got surprised by the whole package and content ans well as the remembrance of some forgotten tracks.


This mp3 version has the same quality as the tape. I only passed the set through a Hum And Hiss removal parametric equalizer and three video tracks (Downtown, Revolution and She's So Cool) were a bit further equalized.


The tracklisting on the tape 'cover' has some incorrections. Here's the correct listing

Altered Posts

Dronning Maud Land - Alteration MCD (1994) [Glasnost Records]

Ok, just something to keep the momentum until I find something more interesting to post.
This is also a record that I was looking for some time. It's worth for what it means and for what it meant. And I listened a lot to it when it was released.
I hear the band is still going on these days.

more light!

various artists - Mehr Licht! compilation I
unreleased CD-R with magazine (1999)
[Chrome Yellow cCY902]

As I'm going through all the stuff I did with Mehr Licht! fanzine and as I'm moving and my house is a mess so it's difficult to process things to upload, I decided to share this compilation.
It was thought of to be distributed with issue #9 of Mehr Licht! - the first one written in english and the first one with CD-R (also including enhanced session with site and pdfs). The layout of the fanzine was completed, the permissions to use the songs on the CD-R were obtained but none hit the streets. It all became too big and complicated to continue with.
This can be a taster to many bands. Midnight Call are completely unknown but extremely brilliant - they've only released two 7" singles and one track on a compilation - they are perhaps a good choice for future postings. Mão Morta are a 23 year old Portuguese distinctively cult band. Womb released two albums and then nothing. It's mentor and almost single member is now in Naevus. Fallen Apart explore the good old 80's gothic rock, they're perhaps more known but also with few releases. Passion Noire and The Shroud are perhaps more well-known and The Garden Of Delight need no introduction.



Tracklisting:
01 Womb - Cyan Circles Revolving
02 Womb - The Cry
03 Fallen Apart - Hey Friend
04 Fallen Apart - Out On The Streets
05 The Shroud - Day And Night
06 The Shroud - Pixy-led
07 Passion Noire - Don't Close Your Heart
08 Passion Noire - Warm You Up
09 The Garden Of Delight - Spiral Dance
10 The Garden Of Delight - Empire Of The Sun
11 Midnight Call - Sunshine
12 Midnight Call - Simple Silence
13 Mão Morta - E Se Depois
14 Mão Morta - Floresta Em Sonho

Nothing (Important)

Rosetta Stone - Nothing maxiCD (1994)
[Minority/One Records CD MIN 101]

Rosetta Stone was one of the last great bands (Suspiria being the last one). They kept the real goth spirit but always reinventing and up to date. I was close to see them live once at the Infest Festival in Bedford (August 1998). I was in London and when I went to purchase a ticket I was informed they had cancelled their appearance. So I didn't attend neither. Two months later, at the Withby gothic weekend they announced the break-up. This last gig is also available on the net.
This first download post is of a 3"maxiCD that I was looking after for a long time. Eventually I did find it on eMule one month ago as a bin/cue file.
I think this is a brilliant way to start my posts. The title track is from their (at the time) postponed Hiding In Waiting album. They had problems with their label and there was a remixed reissue called Hiding In Waiting revised editon 1.1 shortly after.
Although the extra tracks are nothing important this release contains an otherwise unavailable cover of The Beatles' (Charles Manson) Helter Skelter and introduces us to what was to be the future of the band - Porl King doing remixes and covers for tribute albums. It comes coupled with yet another remix of Adrenaline and another of Nothing.

Here I hope to post more than once a week some music to download.

No specific genres, no pigeonholing. My taste dictates the picking. You may find gothic rock, darkwave, dark-folk, martial, industrial, electronic, synth-pop, coldwave, deathrock, ebm, shoegazing, punk, post-punk, new wave, positive punk, minimal, noise, and so on.

The first post will follow shortly.
