The Witching Hour - She's Alive EP
tape 1994

DOWNLOAD LINK REMOVED AFTER KIND REQUEST FROM THE BAND

Call me cheesy but I like this kind of sound... the early 90s english gothic rock sound.
I was looking for this on the bluebird p2p application for more than a year and couldn't find the fourth track. Everybody has a surrogate fourth track titled Resurrection 2 which is actually the other Resurrection but at an higher bitrate.
So this was the band that made me buy one track (€0,99) on iTunes...
And now I post it.
The Witching Hour have one more cassette EP and one album. All was remastered and reissued on CD last year although having 15 years.
They reformed about three years ago and played some new gigs in the London area.

Well. Many people complained about zShare and today it was the final straw. I received an email saying the Gary Marx / Eldritch 1995 collaboration was no longer available. I checked and it showed a page stating four possible reasons: 1) The file expired because it was not downloaded for 60 days (not this one as I had records that it was downloaded this month), 2) The file was deleted by its owner (I did not), 3) The file was deleted by ^zSHARE because it didn't comply with our Terms of Use (only this one?), 4) Our server turned evil and is now rebelling against us (not likely) ...
So I decided to upload this one to RapidShare

On the heels of posting concerts in Portugal (which I did not attend) I decided to post also this one, recently acquired.

It's my way of paying homage to Lux Interior.

This was the first time The Cramps played in Portugal (they've returned once since) and was held at a bullfight arena. At the end Lux disappeared into a hole on the stage done by himself with the mikestand.

Psychic TV (PTV3)
Porto, Teatro Sá da Bandeira
08oct04

I'm always looking for live recordings in Portugal from the most diverse bands that I may like. Today I found in the bluebird p2p software this recording of the third incarnation of the reverencial third incarnation of Psychic TV. As I'd never seen it before on any music blog I immediately decided to post it.
However I found it strange and googled it. One blog I happen to follow (the great Because God Told Me To Do It) had already posted it. However the link had been removed and therefore I decided I should go with the initial plan nonetheless.
Reports say that only few hundred people attended. If the tickets were cheaper I guess many other would come. I was working as a madman at the time and at some distance from Porto so my escuse wasn't just the price...
I decided not to put an image of the reGenesis as a woman... the above picture is from the tour shirt

The Birthday Party - Fast Forward #2 dec80
[cassette zine]

Fast Forward was an Australian audio magazine with booklet. It's number two, released in December 1980, includes an interview with Nick Cave & Rowland S. Howard of The Birthday Party and 2 tracks. "Figure Of Fun" is a demo and "Yard" was taken from their first Peel session. By this time The Birthday Party was returning down under after a few months based in London. Also by this time 4AD released their first records, back in London, after their releases as The Boys Next Door with Australian Missing Link, including the album "The Birthday Party".

Oktober Black - Black October (1999)
[Avatar666 / Reaping Host]

Solo project by Paulo Martins (Träume, Archétypo 120, as well as many others - some day a family tree will be made). October Black gave its first steps in 1996 and then perished in favour of other projects. In this recording Paulo Martins was helped by Johan Aernus (Wolfskin, Kar, Karnnos, etc) with samplers and effects.
Partly instrumental this project dwells within folk fog and pure guitars in short, coherent and poignant tracks.
This was originally a cassette, then transposed into CD, refurbishing the cover.

From Peel To Eternity

2009-03-02T22:31:00.009Z

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
John Peel Session 1984

Nick Cave only recorded two sessions for the John Peel BBC Radio1 show. One in March 1984 (25 years ago) and another in 2001. I found the former today (as well as the latter but who gives a fuck!?). It's amazing, or fantastic as everyone says nowadays. In this time of pseudo-crisis, rejoice.
This was recorded on March 28th and broadcasted on April 9th 1984. Only three tracks but long ones. And great too. Nick Cave's first album (From Her To Eternity) was yet to be released, in June. This was probably recorded as Nick Cave And The Cavemen, following a string of gigs played between December and January as "Nick Cave - Man Or Myth?"
Accompanying Nick Cave was Mick Harvey on drums, Blixa an Hugo Race on guitars and Barry Adamson on bass. As Mick announced a few weeks ago his leaving from the band, none of them are still with Nick...
On March 30th, the first four albums will be re-released with some few extra tracks (digitally remastered, and so and so) but he/they forgot to include these recordings...

Just two final notes.
I'm back...
I like the photo ;-)

Presence - Act Of Faith (1992)

[Reality Records LOLX 3]

Presence was the band Lol Tolhurst formed upon being kicked out of The Cure and prior to his current project with his wife in Levinhurst. Together with Michael Dempsey (The Cure's bass player until 1979) and Gary Biddles (one time - 1982 - The Cure tour follower and ex- Fools Dance) he put on a band with some Cure in it albeit more electronic and housey. Should Biddles sing on a different note and not so much in a Smithy way their songs could be much better.

The CDsingle has one extra track (Soft). I'm still searching for it as well as of the other two singles.

Swans - I Am The Sun 7" (1997)
[Die Stadt DS12 / Überschall Records ÜS 97 1 / ??? FREE3]

Alex))) (whoever you are), this is for you...

Swans - One Of The Greatest... EVER...
1000 copies of this were issued nad the first 500 were numbered on red vinyl. It was released on occasion of the Swans concert in Bremen on 12mar97.

Cover art by Michael Gira. The back of the sleeve says that the recording was made on 12 March 1997 even though the title of the song says 1996.

The version of "My Buried Child" was taken directly from Jarboe's Sacrificial Cake - in fact, it even has a bit of the segue from the previous song.

Presence - In Wonder 12" (1991)
[Reality Records LOLX1]

Presence was a short lived project Lol Tolhurst formed after being kicked from The Cure in 1990. They released an album, "Inside". This 12" single was taken from that album as was "Act Of Faith". If anyone has that other single (7" or 12"), or "All I See", please help me ;-)

The vocals tried to mimic Robert Smith's and were courtesy of Gary Biddles. Gary Biddles used to follow The Cure around in 1982 and even sang on Forever sometimes, besides being part of Fools Dance, the band formed when Simon Gallup was away from The Cure between 1982 and 1985, along with Matthieu Hartley. Presence comprised other band members like Shelleyan Orphan's Roberto Soave on bass and Then Jericho's Chris Youdell on keyboards. Roberto Soave also played on The Associates alongside ex Cure bassist Michael Dempsey and when touring with Shelleyan Orphan supporting The Cure during The Prayer Tour in 1989 substituted Simon Gallup at least once (when the latter was ill).

[UNdesire records]

When I got this I doubted these were the same Götterdämmerung that had released the excellent A Body And A Birthmark album and Rearm EP. But unfortunately yes they were and I was fearing a promissing newcomer was lost.

As it turned out, this was a pathetic try to change the style of the band into more danceable and stupid rocking industrial and dance mixes.

I didn't like the sound but I kept the object because it was nicely presented in a white vynil with transparent blueprint paper cover. Oh, and the speed is 33 ⅓...

Fallen Apart - Resistance Dependence Defeat (1996)
[F.A. CD 2/96]

This was requested by Stephane about one year ago... Sorry Stephane. I posted requests #2,#3 and #4 and nothing else but I have written down what you need and hopefully it will be up in the near future. Stephane got me the second Womb album and their split release with Naevus... Hopefully I can find the nerve to post those here too...
Fallen Apart had a great sound but apparently they couldn't make it... Most probably because they had serious jobs and were serious people to be climbing on someone else's back... I saw them live in 1998 in London, at the Sacrosanct Festival, talked a bit with Dirk and then interviewed them to the fanzine.
I haven't heard from them in years. Before they were Fallen Apart they were called Funeral Address. And besides this self-release they've also put out the Misreality EP and a split 7" with The House Of Usher.
I do have a 13track folder I found on the web with 4 songs not found on their releases [besides 4 from Funeral Address, 2 from this release and 3 from the Misreality EP]. One of those tracks is a version of The Mission's Wake... Should you ask nicely I can even switch those 2 tracks by the split 7" and the complete Misreality EP and post everything here...

Gary Marx - Nineteen Ninety Five And Nowhere (2007)
[D-Monic d-m004]

I was looking for this since last fall when it was announced...
You should now Gary Marx... The Sisters Of Mercy founder together with Andrew Eldritch... (it was before Doktor Avalanche, mind you...). He left the Sisters after First And Last And Always and didn't even played at the Last Ever Gig (the one from Wake, R.A.H. 18jun85). He then went to form Ghost Dance with Anne Marie from Skeletal Family.
Apparently (and Gary explains it lengthy on his site), in 1995, Eldritch himself invited Gary to write some new stuff as a follow-up to FALAA... Gary then sent him some demos not hearing from him again...
A few time ago Gary dusted off the vaults and decided to finish the tracks with himself writing lyrics and providing vocals. Last year he remastered these songs and a french label released the album.
It would make (back in 1995) a nice way to get Eldritch back on record and would prevent us from suffering this big-thick-man-motorcycle-hard-rock-fm of the last 2/3 years...

Noise For Destruction

2008-06-04T11:38:00.011+01:00

NFD - Break The Silence EP (2003)
[Jungle Records JUNG 067T]

Fields Of The Nephilim were great until they split in 1991. Then there were several different outfits that emerged from them but that never did nothing that I found worthy of a following. McCoy continued as a metal band in Nefilim, the other members formed Rubicon with a new, weird, vocalist, and then Last Rites. With the Fields reunion in 2000 nothing really changed because McCoy still wanted to pursuit the metal direction...
So... in 2002 when the "Fallen" album sessions ended in 2002, Tony Pettitt (Nephilim founder-bassist) put together a new band with drummer Simon Rippin (formerly of Sensorium, The Nefilim and Fields Of The Nephilim touring band), and Simon's former bandmate in Sensorium vocalist/guitarist Peter 'Bob' White. [Sensorium was formed when The Nefilim line-up fell apart in 1996]
Thus NFD (Noise For Destruction) was formed, comprising two other members for live apeearances. They still carry some of that Nephilim sound as you can experience with their debut release, this 3 track EP. Original Nephilim guitarist, Peter Yates, plays in one of the tracks (No Love Lost).
Enjoy and look for their new album (out now) called "Deeper Visions", which I was unable to hear yet.

Chris & Cosey - Pagan Tango (1991)
[ Play It Again Sam BIAS 179 LP]

I must confess that Throbbing Gristle never really did it for me. It must have been one of those cases in which you listen to something and you never want to hear anything else from that band ever again because you didn't like and think everything is like that. Even 20 years later you think the same and it can happen of hearing the same track and liking it.
Of course I recognized their importance, innovation and breaking through dareness in the history of music and especially their influence on bands I liked and praised and that even some of them dared into trails initially opened by TG.
I love some of its offsprings... Early Psychic TV, Coil and derived industrial bands and its incestuous dark-folk ramifications but I never really gave a chance to either TG nor to Chris & Cosey [formed by, if you don't know, half of TG's members, the couple comprised of Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti].
About 3 years ago I bought, for €0,20, a Chris & Cosey 12"EP (Take Five). I never listened to it because as I was always moving from place to place I never quite managed to organize my study/listening room as I wanted and didn't have a working turntable. I bought it because it was cheap and after all it was Chris & Cosey...
I finally listened to it about one month ago. In my new house I put a turntable to work and decided to listen to all the vinyl records I had not yet listened to (the music, not the vinyls...).
And the album blew my mind. I thought it was more than great or excellent.. I had to grab more of their stuff... And I downloaded perhaps all of their discography...
The next album I listened to was this 1991 release. "Pagan Tango" is the title and in itself reveals what's within.
After listening to the first few seconds I was bewitched again...
Take a peek and feel entranced too... now that Psychic TV and Throbbing Gristle are doing reunion tours... and Genesis P-Orridge is a full grown woman...

I'm back in business and as I'll be having some free time in the near future, therefore you can expect some goodies (or not...).
I'm just trying to get a new host for the files as MediaFire is giving me many troubles...
I'll make some experiments with Sharebee and zShare as many people is using them.

I'll also try to reupload the old posts with 'broken' links. So rest assure everyone that wrote complaining/asking/begging/entreating... and never got an answer...

I've created a new blog. It's called Forever or Forever Project.
Some 15 years ago when I was into tape trading I had this idea of compiling all the different versions of Forever (The Cure's live improv song) there were. Back then it was something difficult to do and to compile it analogically would deteriorate the sound already very bad. I don't remember if I ever did something about it...
Last monday something triggered my memories and I brought this project to life again.
At first it was just something I would compile. Then my friend Vimaranes said it would make a great post and two days later I realised it was too complicated to compile and choose from hundreds of versions. The best option was to create a blog and to post versions.
That's how The Forever Project Blog came to be...

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...

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.

[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

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

2007-08-25T05:06:00.001+01:00

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].

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...

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.

I got tired of the file deposit I used. It took me too much time to upload and I heard many people had trouble or it took too much time to download. I chose it because the files never expire there, but it's tiresome to use it.
So I'm experimenting with a new site which also leaves the files for a long time.

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.

Tracklisting:

1		Thirst Movement (1:23)
2		Dead Line (4:43)
3		A Nun Like You (4:22)
4		Pretty Face (Mental Case) (4:01)
5		Shut (5:31)
6		Cyan Circles Revolving (4:44)
7		La Mia Confessione (2:39)
8		What If And If Only (4:46)
9		Babies For Sale! (2:35)
10		Now That I've Paid For You (4:16)
11		Into My Mouth (4:42)
12		Scared (7:37)
13		Unclean (5:15)
14		The Cry (4:42)

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.

1. Heroes (slow industrial version)
2. On A Mission
3. Be My Friend (single version)

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.

Midnight Call

2007-03-11T19:09:00.001Z

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

2007-03-04T15:43:00.002Z

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

Audio side {45'40"}
01 intro [1'14"]
02 Spiral Staircase (instrumental) [5'09"]
03 Cimar [5'03"]
04 slow [3'22"]

06 Won't You Guide Me? [5'38"]
07 Red Wish Girl [4'29"]
08 Exp. #4 [5'46"]
09 fast [2'22"]
10 Xerry (instrumental) [5'07"]

Bideo sideo {46'10"}
11 techno [1'38"]
12 Downtown [1'47"]
13 Spacemen Sonic [9'07"]
14 Red Wish Girl [3'57"]
15 Strawberry Star [5'25"]
16 Revolution [8'29"]

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.

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

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.
