Sedition/ Pink Turds in Space - Split LP
This is THE best split punk record ever put to wax. PERIOD.
Timothy Leary & Ash Ra Tempel - Seven Up
I’m no cave dweller, but I can say I’ve listened to a fair share of psychedelic obscurities throughout the past near-decade. I think out of everything I’ve ever listened to, this album may be the absolute most psychedelic document I’ve heard so far.
Let’s just say, and you will appreciate this if you know me personally, that the two tracks on this album are titled “Space” and “Time”..
Furthermore, if you are a fan of Ash Ra Tempel, I challenge you by saying this might be some of their best stuff. I mean, come on, guest appearance by Timothy Leary..
Avskum - Re-Crucified by the System
Wow, I forgot how good this band was. My favorite Avskum material is their earlier stuff, and this one compiles some of their early EPs and demos (if I’m not mistaken). What you will hear is just some really fast, heavy, catchy, and filthy sounding hardcore/punk played by some Swedish anarchists.
The Telescopes - Taste
Imagine if Born Against and Spacemen 3 decided to start a band together? That’s what I like to think of when describing this group. Of course, these guys were before both bands if I’m not mistaken. Spacemen 3 was most likely around the same time period though, blah blah blah blah…
Grimple - Up Your Ass
Snotty, raw, and grimey pop punk. My favorite kind. From back when punk was still good..
Ofege - Try and Love
Fuzzy and soulful Afrobeat. Great album to vibe out to..
D&V - Inspiration Gave Them The Motivation To Move On Out of Their Isolation.
D&V (Drums & Vocals) were an experimental anarcho punk group from the 80’s. Their sound is very unique in that they layer spooky atmospheres over somewhat danceable drum beats and CRASS-style singing/spoken word. Eve Libertine and Joy de Virve provide additional vocals on a couple tracks. This album was way ahead of its time and puts shame to any generic hipster “vibes” bullshit put out within the past several years..
This is the soundtrack to our industrialized, technology-driven reality.
Sin is ex-Nausea (NY crust band) and Spinewrench is ex-Deviated Instinct (UK 80’s crust punk). Together, they present their own versions of gloomy industrial/metal. This recording of Spinewrench precedes their switch to a drum machine.
Labradford - Mi Media Naranja
Such a mysterious and haunting, yet beautiful album. Instrumental, psychedelic, atmospheric, and sleepy. Listen to this album late at night when there is a full moon and you are surrounded by nothing except for nature.
Bo Hansson - Music Inspired by Lord of the Rings
The music sounds equally as awesome as the cover art looks. Slow, atmospheric, psychedelic, instrumental compositions that are super mellow and perfect with a spliff or a glass of wine. Many thanks to my friend Adrian for playing this record several years ago, since then I have spun this countless times, and will probably wear this record out in the future. I highly recommend tracking down a vinyl copy of this album, the vibe is a million times better..
