The 7th Synphonie Of The Seven Swevens
Andrew Lagowski writes: “The 7th Synphonie of the Seven Swevens a.k.a. 777 by Dr. Fleischbrittel was recorded direct to cassette on 29th and 30th May 1983 at IP1 3PG, Ipswich. The project was realised as a means of escape from the band mentality that I was part of at that time. It offered me the chance to free-form in more ways than one and express my more demonic leanings - those of a frustrated teenager recording in whichever bedroom had the space for the equipment. Unbeknownst to them, my par…
Before Before Surgery
Two gigs by a loose ensemble of nomads, hybrids, tech-heads and agitators gravitating around Porto, Portugal. ANTIFLUFFY is the pop cousin of Autodigest, both dedicated to a critique of the current culture of entertainment and the paradoxical labyrinths of late consumerism. While Autodigest takes the cerebral, strategic route, Antifluffy gets down and dirty, visceral in the face of fluff. Whether disemboweling magnetic tape or analogue photographs, delivering impassioned manifestos or crooning a…
On Tape
Zerocrop is the pseudonym of London based musician Parker, an independent artist who has been releasing albums through the website www.zerocrop.com since 2000.

Zerocrop has remixed, written songs for and performed with the incomparable Billie Ray Martin and regularly creates the show music for award winning milliner Justin Smith.…
Sex Dreams Of The I Ching
Millimetre writes… “Sex Dreams Of The I Ching started out as six love songs with strange fragmented structures that had titles inspired by readings from the I Ching. I didn't know what to do with them, but kept returning to them over and over, they had an uncanny quality whilst being totally dissonant and broken. One day I found some recordings I made on a 4-track years ago with a WEM Copycat – mostly my vocalisations looped endlessly – and out of curiosity played some whilst playing the love so…
Works For Magnetic Tape
Ken Hollings writes: “I have always been, first and foremost, a writer. The three tracks that make up this audiocassette release reflect my interest in how differently the written text operates from spoken word: what separates and makes them distinct from each other – and what happens when one is translated into the other? A longer version of the text for “There Must Be Something Wrong With This, Sally” appeared in volume 19 issue 4 of the Leonardo Electronic Almanac: “Without Sin: Freedom and T…

Inno A Satana / Lucifer
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 333 copies.* How to define the Italian devils music known as Teatro Satanico? Throughout their recording career they’ve crossed so many different genres that its almost impossible to label them down since every recording is so different from their last one. In "Inno a Satana (Hymn to Satan)" the music nullifies itself in becoming just a choir of voices reciting a real Satanic hymn composed in 1863 by Italian poet Giosué Carducci.A dark chilling ambient composition…
Total Sound
Originally recorded for a radio broadcast in Holland in 1983 in front of a very selected audience (ten in all), Total Sound represents a great snapshot of Sad Lovers and Giants live on stage. Here the band, caught just before the split, delivers an outstanding performance based on a fine selection of songs from their first two now classic albums.Sad Lovers & Giants fell apart at the end of the year, but they have now reformed and new recordings will be available early in 1987.
Feeding The Flame
Sad Lovers and Giants second album, a brilliant atmospheric post punk record with several elements akin to Joy Division and The Chameleons. We can definitely apply the term’ ethereal’ to these composition, certainly the sound is very oceanic and otherwordly melancholic, typical trademarks of the new wave renaissance. Recorded in 1983 – and released on their own label Midnight Music - Feeding the Flame showcases the original line up at its very best.
The Mirror Test
One of the most respected British bands in the mid-80s post punk era. Sad Lovers and Giants played highly atmospheric music made of melancholic melodies and epic guitar riffs. An overtly romantic attitude that slowly developed towards an even more open (pop) sound approach. Originally released on Midnight Records, The Mirror Test, the band's third studio effort, arrived as the fruit of an updated line-up and a clear step in such direction. A very harmonious collection of songs, some of which are…
