Dreams Interrupted: The Bewilderbeat Years 1978-1980
Here’s a definitive compilation of their first period career, Glaxo Babies was one of the most exciting british post-punk band of the era. Raised in Bristol – altogether with such local influential acts like Maximum Joy, The Transmitters and obviously The Pop Group – Glaxo Babies formed in late 1977. The band signed to local label Heartbeat Records (marketed by Cherry Red), with their first release being the This Is Your Life EP in February 1979; in the same year they released the single Christi…
Schlagende Wetter
In 1982, when the entire industrial elite of today was still in primary school and could barely read and write, four experimental musicians under the name Kowalski released an album called "Schlagende Wetter", which the NDW-fixated German public completely ignored, as expected. With their bizarre steel machine rock, vaguely situated between Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream and Bap, Kowalski were a whole decade ahead of their time and ignited a crashing, pulsating sound inferno by means of artfully pol…
Spoki
**2020 repress** Spoki (Ghosts) is the sound of an artist putting their private world to tape. Of exploring and pushing the limits of themselves and technology to realise the music in their head. As Ingus Baušķenieks himself explains: “My own world differs a little from my friends tastes. And - as my father said - the collective art is not art at all.” Arranged and produced by Ingus Baušķenieks. Female vocals on A2, A3 & B3: Edīte Baušķeniece. All instruments and male vocals: Ingus Baušķenieks.
Stretcher
Medical Records presents it's 60th release with the much needed reissue of Australia's Severed Heads and their 1985 release - Stretcher. The Severed Heads story continues with the expanded and Stretched 2LP reissue. After personnel changes in 1985 (Garry Bradbury and Paul Deering left the band), Sev was now down to a 2 piece (Tom Ellard and Stephen Jones). Stretcher was originally released to be a compilation to introduce the band to an American audience, but it was ultimately sold in three vers…
Wooden Ball
"Sarah Smith and Zach Phillips, better known as Blanche Blanche Blanche, live by the element of risk. This becomes clear upon listening to their latest full-length record Wooden Ball, where the unpredictability reaches palpable levels. These prolific young masters of harmony from Brattleboro, Vermont have spent the last couple years recording and releasing nearly 10 full-length records worth of brilliant and confounding musical quicksand. Describing it in words can be difficult, but make no mist…
Pink Keys
Seemingly back from the brink, Olde English Spelling Bee makes a very welcome return with a shocking, amazing new album from Alice Cohen. Having only just copped her 'Wild Vines Tenement Shrines' album released in february, we're still digesting her brand new, synth-lush and colourful Pop sound, but the immediate response is all thumbs up. Like that last LP, she's assisted by the ever-wonderful Autre Ne Veut, this time contributing vocals to one track, alongside percussion from Swans/Smog…
