The Grey Wolves - The Age Of Dissent (1995)
For me, The Grey Wolves are the best of the Power Electornics genre. While Whitehouse may have been the innovator, The Grey Wolves were the perfector. Not stuck with the repetitive theme of female domination The Grey Wolves approach every topic with pure anger and hatred. I browse around their web site is sure to encite the ire of even the most free thinking among us. and The Grey Wolves don't care.

"The Age Of Dissent" was originally released in 1995. I don't own it. I have a digital copy of it. Presented here with respect. Highly recommended.

*REPOST* Current 93 - Volxbühne, Berlin (2006)
Recorded live in Berlin, Germany at Volxbühne. I wouldn't say this is the best recording quailty in the world, but it's an interesting listen none the less. It is amazing how far Current 93 have come, even from the "Looney Rune" days. This live recording captures an evening of poetry and classical musings. This is the garden of eden, as angels smile from above, things are not what they use to be...

The following review is of the evening as Funprox.com:

Current 93, Baby Dee and Pantaleimon at the Volksbühne, Berlin.
“To attend at a concert of Current 93 may not be a good idea if you are not of a pure heart or if you are missing someone special. Nevertheless, I did.”
A highly personal account…

Sunday, the 28th of May 2006
There were two concerts, one on Sunday and one on Monday. Sunday’s concert started quite punctual at half past eight. Every one of the three acts started the show with an instrumental, even if those of the master himself was a constant loop of a well-known tune sounding like Jean Michel Jarre or something like that, very loud, and ought to be annoying. So it did. While Pantaleimon may be called interesting and very nice, indeed a great Baby Dee foretold the rest of this emotional night by shouting with a smile “I am not here to fucking make you happy.” You have to like her.

But then, when HE entered the stage, wearing a wrinkled-up jacket and a summer hat, the stage, the night, the hearts were his. At least mine was, but I may be called a maniac. Never mind. It went to be a long, long night before he ended after some encores with “This empire is nothing”. Although the pianist seemed to have forgotten the notes of a specific song Tibet wanted to play, it all was sounding great. Honestly, it would be hard to tell if there’s any difference in his voice compared to the already released versions of those songs.

For me, this concert was like finally, finally meeting someone who for years has played an important role in your life and who has been there so many times when things went great or turned out so damn sad. Cannot count the times I listened to “Soft Black Stars” and finally this all became real and it’s not only sounding like the voices in your head but also there is this man in front of the audience, kind of dancing, screaming, crying.

The first songs gave me constant shivers and I thought this might go on. Yet it was a good feeling, warm and emotional, deep inside me. But more and more I slipped into the very emotional scenery and began to feel nothing and then it came to the point when he who has a pure heart will feel like home. But he who is sad inside, he who knows that there’s someone missing on that damn place that still is empty right beside, he will feel like something in the middle of his stomach is growing, more and more.

In the beginning it feels like nothing, emptiness:emptiness:emptiness. And then it hits those who are vulnerable. With every song they played, he told anyone who was listening that there is something like love, that there has to be something to be called destination and that everything can be in the right place. We all knew there might be something like this … but he, this mighty, mighty wizard, showed us, told us, made us feel what it’s all about. I haven’t cried for years now. Nearly did, nearly did. Was wonderful. Was scaring. Was like knowing everything about the thing you ever wanted, and then losing it. Was like waking up from that perfect dream, constantly.

When after midnight the empty house released me into the still warmish streets of this ceaseless city, I felt the weight of this world on my shoulders and had to walk for an hour through the quiet and dark rows of houses. Slowly, I recover.
Don’t get me wrong: it was an overwhelming, fantastic, beautiful and fascinating event, in remembrance of which we will stand this constant struggle called “everyday life” one more day.

I just didn’t dare to attend the concert at the very next day once more.

Eternity!

*REPOST* Crucifix - Crucifix 12" (1981)
A repost for my friend in Brasil.

If you go back to the post I Was A Punk Before You Were A Punk I posted a question about a 12" single of my youth. Well, the single is the self titled first release by Crucifix. Which is when you examine the cover you will see why no one could figure it out. Although in my defense, there are three object on the cover and the band name is Crucifix.

Back in my troubled youth I use to play this single (which I believe ran at 45) at 33. Only in an altered state of mind though... If by chance if any of the living members stop by, let me say thanks for the memories, and thanks for music that sounds good at any speed.

If you are unfamilar with the west coast punk scene, that was my youth. Sorry my industrial friends, sorry my Neo Folk friends, sorry my Power Electronic friends, sorry my Noise friends... it still runs in my blood, and listening to it makes me smile.

Here's a write up on Cruckifx I found at PunkOiSka boards by someone named burntherich.

Crucifix was a hardcore punk band in the 1980s from Berkeley, California. They were among the most popular acts in the prolific San Francisco Hardcore scene of the early 80's.

Crucifix was preceded by the short-lived band Subsidize Mess, featuring Sothira on bass, Matt Borusso on guitar, and Christopher Douglas on vocals.

Crucifix was founded in 1980 and fronted by Cambodian-born singer Sothira Pheng, whose family had fled the country when the brutal Khmer Rouge seized power. The band's self titled EP debuted on Universal Records of Berkeley in '81 and was followed by the "1984" single distributed on Freak Records in '82. The band's second full length "Dehumanization" on Corpus Christi Records (an offshoot of Crass Records) which showcased their extremely fast and overdriven sound, reminiscent of early Discharge, is widely considered to be their definitive work. Around this time guitarist Drew Bernstein (founder of Lip Service Clothing) formally of America's Hardcore joined the band. The band split up after a lengthy tour of US/Canada/Europe on July 13 1984. A posthumous compilation album of singles and live tracks entitled "Exhibit A" was released on Kustomized Records in 1997.

The Greedy Beat Syndicate - Captive But Save - Play At Your Own Risk (1993)
The outpouring of love (well outpouring might be a stretch) was much appreciated. Nothing bad was happening in my life... but I had some high hopes that apparently were "high" hopes.

Thanks to Paul for sending me this recording!

You remember The Greedy Beat Syndicate. It was Sean Maher, Hugo Longden, and Matthew Best. I believe Matthew could be the longest running member of PTV who did not have the last name of P-Orridge. Mathew best runs/ran a cool blog titled THE GREEDY BEAT SYNDICATE.

On the now defunct blog he (or someone) wrote the following;

Throughout the late 80s and early 90s The Greedy Beat Syndicate was one of the busiest funk/dance/acid rhythm sections around.

They locked down grooves for an astonishingly wide range of artists, never easily pigeon-holed. Take, for example, their mad acid work with Psychic TV guru Genesis P-Orridge at one end of the scale – with the smooth satin soul of PP Arnold and Pressure Point at the other. But more of all that later…

This particular release was sent to me by Paul. I am posting it with a tad bit of fear and trepidation... I LOVE YOU MATHEW!!!

Track Listing;

A1		Study The Funk (7:36)
A2		Ride The Rhythm (6:19)

*REPOST* 23 Skidoo - The Culling Is Coming (1983)

"23 Skidoo will not be liable for any injury, loss or damage, direct or consequential, arising out of the use of, or inability to use this product."

This release has always had a "where did they pull that out of?" quality for me. I was not a fan before this release, and I was not much of a fan after. But "The Culling Is Coming" is brilliant. I would put it pretty high on my favorites list. Featuring Alex Turnbull, Johnny Turnbull, Fritz Häaman, and David Tibet.

Tracks 1 to 5 recorded at Dartington Music College 23/10/1982. Tracks 6 to 10 recorded live at W.O.M.A.D. 11.23am 17/07/1982. Track 11 recorded live at Tielt, Belgium 08/10/82. Track 11 was not included on the original release.

From Wikipedia;

The first section of the album consists of studio recordings utilizing Gamelan instruments while the second section was an improvised set using metal percussions and tape loops from their appearance at the first WOMAD Festival in July 1982. The third, live section was later added to the Boutique Records version.

A Winter Ritual was recorded at Dartington Music College 23/10/1982. A Summer Rite was recorded live at the WOMAD Festival starting at 11.23am on 17/07/1982. David Tibet played Tibetan Trumpet on "Invocation" to "Stifling". Also appearing at the festival were Echo And The Bunnymen, Simple Minds, Peter Gabriel (for a one-time only reunion with Genesis) along with the Drummers Of Burundi and Musicians Of The Nile. An Autumn Journey was recorded live at Tielt, Belgium 08/10/82.

*REPOST* v/a - A Tribute To Scott Walker - Angel Of Ashes (2005)
As a Yankee, I missed the Scott Walker (and the Walker Brothers) phenomenon. You can read all about Scott HERE, but if you choose not to then just know he was a pop wonderkid at one point. Margot, over at The Wheel Of The Year, got me turned on to Scott with her posting of the 1995 haunting CD Tilt. Since then I have been buying Scott Walker stuff where ever I can find it.

You will recognize favorites of mine on this release (Rose McDowall, The Sword Volcano Complex, Naevus, Aranos, Spiritual Front), but the best track here belongs to Marc Blackie's Sleeping Sickness. Marc is also the incredible photographer behind the website Disappointed Virginity.

So download the the CD and go straight to track 17. Then listen to the rest. I love you, in a messy, sticky sort of way.

1	We Came Through - Plaza
2	Angel Of Ashes - Backworld
3	If You Go Away - Sally Doherty

Nazi UFO Commander - Strange Monasteries (2006)


NOT A REPOST! YEA YEA!!!!

A 150 of these were released on Old Europa Cafe. "Professionally printed CDR Limited and on CD label numbered". According to the band this is the fist of two transmissions (the second being Radiant Entropie). To paraphrase their/his MySpace page;

The Commander has embarked upon a mission of millenial significance. We grieve over His departure, but take solace in the truth that His absence heralds the birth of a new and better world. Es lebe Deutschland! Es lebe Neuschwabenland! Es lebe Neualdebaran!

And, according to the Old Europa Cafe web site

Strange Monasteries is the initial communication to the fractured hive mind extant on this planet.
This is Stage 1: Putrefaction.
Only a small percentage of the population is capable of being hardlinked into the Greater Vision and Voice, because only they have had the Eruption of the Unconscious into the Sphere of Consciousness. Transmitting from Neuschwabenland South, Nazi UFO Commander is conjuring out of the chaos of space, radio waves and electronics a catalyst that will reunify the dissociated conscious by re-encoding imprints through sustained and attentive listening.
In order to affect this reunification, the CD must be listened to in its entirety.
To hear it is to know it !
A very strange mix of space-industrial, UFO-radio-comunication, beating & noisy alien soundtracks ....
Includes guest synthesizer by David E. Williams on one track.

I did read a interview with the Commander where he referred to Nazi UFO Commander as "Ambient Martial" musick... now you have a bin to put the record.

Track Listing;

1		The Coming Race (Vril Chant)
2		Sacrificial War
3		Fuhrer
4		Morfee
5		Mercer Is My Name

*REPOST* Mother Tongue - Open In Obscurity (1988)

Geelgalayah is a manifestation of the associations and effects related and drawn from one set of metals, matched to the worlds and their correspondences to the planetary aspects of the signs of the zodiac.

The first track I heard by Mother Tongue was "Chapter And Verse" from the legendary release "A Bead To A Small Mouth". I was very excited at the time about all things Hafler Trio (i.e. all things Andrew McKenzie), and when I heard he was collaborating with Z'ev I was quite happy. The ambiance of The Hafler Trio and the tribal beatings of Z'ev was certain to be an interesting combo.

I wasn't disappointed. Finding their one and only LP (posted here with much love and quite a lot of hangover) proved difficult.

the following is from the H3O web site;

Mother Tongue was a collaboration between McKenzie of The Hafler Trio, percussionist Z'EV and linguist Doro Franck all of whom were expatriates living in Amsterdam. For the cover we decided that every element had to come from different objects and images in the immediate vicinity of he Tottenham Court Road studio, each being put through a different process. The still-life painting by 17-century Spanish artist Juan de Zurbarán was found in a local book shop and polacolor - processed by Jürgen Teller. On the reverse was a close-up of the alarm bell outside the delivery door at the back of the local Virgin megastore, printed as a contact sheet and then massively enlarged on a Cannon colour xerox. Hand-drawn type was contrasted with a hot metal antique italic. On the inside cover, the PMT of a brick, lateral to a lino print that Brody had done years before of an angel, moving across what could be a blackened cloth. The print process heightened the cover's strange ambience. The photographs were scanned as four-colour separations, then two of the films were jettisoned and the remaining two assigned special Pantone colours. The reversed-out type was printed as a third colour white on a rough textured, straw-coloured board.

"Open In Obscurity" was released in 1988 by Touch. It is a wonderful LP that is both entertaining and challenging to the listener. Geelgalayah is an instrumental carried out by Andrew McKenzie "with cabalistic and attributory information scored and choreographed by Z'ev. All utilisation of the instruments with this information was focused on both mental and physical planes." The rest of the LP features the voice of Doro Franck. Ms. Franck used to be researcher at the VU Amsterdam in Lingustics. She now writes on the poetics of architecture. Z'ev had actually collaborated with Doro in the past. I believe as far back as 1983, None the less, your gonna love this.

*REPOST* Death In June - Live At The Electric Ballroom (1984)
Another one supplied by Vince DOME!

Live at the Electric Ballroom, London (with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and Psycho Circus, NON canceled) on November 7, 1984. The story behind Non canceling and the night of the gig is quite interesting in and of itself. Douglas P. in an interview on the The Vanishing Point radio program recalled it like this;

"...we were due to perform together on the same bill at the Electric Ballroom in the early '80s with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, it was Death In June, NON, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Boyd didn't show, he had problems and was... deported from the country, we later found out! He was sent onto Frankfurt, where he was about to start a European tour with Fad Gagdet, and that was an odd night, because we really sort of cracked the apocalyptic folk thin big time I think, because we were desperately trying to do these guitar melodies but the feedback was so odd it was actually panning around the place, and even through the monitors, and Marc Almond came up to us later and said "Ah, that was fantastic! I'd never heard a group play acoustic guitars with feedback and control it like that, like you did!" We were really pissed off, we were so disappointed with our performance, we didn't realise everyone thought this was marvellous! That night invented a new form of music by chance! In fact, we did get paid extras money by the promoter, because he thought it was so great too! I remember several years before, I'd almost had a fight with this guy when I was in a punk group, because he was truly a very difficult person. I'm extremely pleasant, I'm almost so pleasant I walk on water, but this guy was really nasty! It's not the way a lot of people would describe me either, but that's one of those things - I'm greatly misunderstood..."

Although this is not the greatest recording in the world, Vince has done a nice job of cleaning it up. Given the history of the night, and the special guests in attendance it make for a wonderful listen.

About the gig Vince says;

NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS, NON and PSYCHO CIRCUS also played, but no recording surfaced so far (NICK CAVE perfomance was probably taped but i was unable to find more info about it).

*REPOST* Throbbing Gristle - At The Rat Club The Valentino Rooms (1977)
"All I want you to do is to go out and kill. ASSUME POWER FOCUS!"

Recorded at At The Rat Club The Valentino Rooms, in London on December 17th, 1977. An outstanding live performance. Well recorded and preserved for your listening enjoyment. I have collected some information about the gig below -

According to the TG24 Listener Guide;

Second appearance as guests of the 'Rat Club', now relocated at the Valentino Rooms, Bedford Corner Hotel, Bayley Street. Audience of 270. PA system set up on tables covered in red cloth and lit by spotlights, like electrical hardware in a high street shop. Over-sized Tesco's shopping bag next to PA and four foot wooden TG flash sign behind, recently constructed by Monte Cazazza. 'Urge to Kill', about the American necrophiliac mass murderer Edmund Emil Kemper, was only ever performed once.

From the Brainwashed archive;

"At Rat Club we arranged PA on lots of tables at all different levels, all tables covered in red cloth. So looked like electrical luxury goods on display in shop window. Jules Baker, a friend, made us a huge TESCO paper shopping bag, which we had standing near thee amps so it looked all out of proportion, like goods for sale, not like a rock PA. We always put all amps and equipment in centre of stage spotlighted. Thee heart of TG. We are placed, Cosey on one side of stage, she always sits down when playing guitar. Me on other side of stage. And Chris and Sleazy in centre stood with backs to audience manipulating machines. At Rat Club we had huge black polythene curtain behind red table sculpture to set it off. Then we always hang a 4 feet diameter wooden TG sign made by Monte Cazazza behind us. Like a big version of our "TG Flash" badges & stickers."

Genesis P-Orridge letter in Anarki & Kaos 3, February 1978

Also from the Brainwashed archive;

THE RETURN of Tesco disco - another noise (industrial) in a different supermarket…
Throbbing Gristle began with a mutated 'White Christmas' (Bing Crosby of course); technically doctored/dissolving - the familiar into the unknown. The sonic assault begins. It's hard to describe precisely the elements of the sound, easier the effect… How about the story of the black kids that hung over the railings outside the Hackney Studio, digging the fact that Throbbing Gristle sounded just like the factories all around? (Factoid). No? How about a comparison: the electronic distortion of 'Sister Ray' (where the Velvets cranked everything up and off the board) matched with the throbbing crescendos/all over wash of the most intense acid music?
Sometimes they can be very friendly: tonight was one of their worst nights as they reflected the mood of the audience. Areas of doubt: no visuals - for sure uncompromisingly concentrating you on the music, but hard to attend to without. Little movement from the group. Also their intellectual/artistic rationale is clear and has been explained already, and to be respected: are serious, dedicated and talented. What remains unclear in their assumption of the power focus is the moral base: orientation hard to discover. Could say that doesn't (so strong) a reflection act as a reinforcement/endorsement? Contributing to the horror-show instead of combating it?
I don't know - go and see for yourself.

Jon Savage, Sounds, 7 January 1978

EMOFAG.NET another TheeBradMiller Post
I am back up spinning tunes over at EMOFAG.NET. I have a little set over there I affectionately call "Butterscotch Logic". I owe a special thanks to the wonderful blog "Sickness Abounds" for two of the tracks on there... "See Woman See Human" and "The Key Of Pride". I will admit it, I always wanted to be a DJ....

By the way, keep on letting me know about the dead/looping links. All comments go to my mail box and I keep them till I repost them. It may take awhile to get your request up, but I will get it up. You wanna know why... because I love you.

*REPOST* Psychic TV - Those Who Do Not (1984)
This is one of my all time favorite releases. Capturing brilliantly Psychic TV in their prime, "Those Who Do Not" was recorded live in Reyjavik in November of 1983. Released in 1984 by GRAMM Records as a double LP, and then released again as a single LP ("Live In Reyjavik") in 1987 on TEMPLE Records (Catalog #TOPY026), and finally on COLD SPRING records in 1997.

For thee realisation of this Project
Psychic TV were:
Alex Fergusson
High Priestess (Genesis P. Orridge)
Grey Wolf
Hoh (Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson)
John Gosling
Godkrist
Thee Temple Method

From the double LP "Those Who Do Not";

This project is the result of not-doing. No-doing is means whereby things are made to happen and desires are made flesh without conscious striving towards this or any other end. It involves maximal psychic force and minimal physicl excertion, for the latter would inevitably blunt the spontaneity and this make the (apperently synchronistic) manifestation impossible. Part of our programming consists of implanted value judge,emt which tell us what is possible and what is not. These programs serve the function of limiting our behaviour and thus limit the ammount of possiblites we have at our disposal.

We have inherited and accumulated countless little blockages which restrict our flow in the world and which constantly send out their messages of "you can not", "you do not desereve", "it is not right" etc... thses blocks will in the end thwart every healthy desire and end up by crippling the individual by divorcing him or her from the inner reality which should be "practice" will effectively pave the way for the unconscious or psychic teality which is at the core of every individual. Its practice should not be forced for that would merelyt create a link with the middle layer of the psyche, which is the stuff that nighmares are made from, the site of Repress-not-doing in its true fromlessness in a path that mirrors every step of attainment: The reflection may be cruel or beautiful but that is only.

We were brought together, we have worked together: Together we made desire flesh. together we did not.

The music is the result of a ritual collaboration which in asense transcends space & time. To this end various means were used. The chief of these is the P.Orridgemeter, an invention specially made by Godkrist for this project. The P.Orridgemeter is the device which can be locked unto any given pulse of vibration & then uses these as triggers or steering modules for the sounds which are desired. By these means digital samples & electric instuments were played by those who do not in the present space/time location, thuse overcoming all geographical displacements.

The Astru-Marriage was celebrated by Sveinbjorn Beinteinsson Allsherjargooi & is reproduced with his kind permission.

From "Live in Reyjavik";

This music was thee result of a ritual collaboration. Consequences that spanned space and time. Thee target being timelessness, fusion, interaction in afixed balance. To this end new techniques / technology were used.
Chief of these was P-Meter. An invention specially built for this project by Godkrist. This P-Meter was a device that could be locked onto any given pulse or frequency and be triggered by these steering modules to produce an identical framework and pattern to other sampled sound. By this means digital samples or sounds were "played" by Individuals who were not present in thee accepted sense os space / time or location. For example, a lead vocal could trigger thee sound of bells. These would be recorded in an identical pattern, then thee voice erased. Thus this music was, in a very real sense, recorded in two places at at thee same time bu individuals who had never, and never did, play "together". They did not, in fact.

Also, according to Discogs, "Attraction Romantique" and "Jesus Please Us" are early versions of "Roman P." and "Unclean" respectively
