Halloween Special!!!

Deadbolt - I Should Have Killed You (2000)

 Studio Recordings @ 192

{Out of Print}

Deadbolt's "I Should Have Killed You" seems to bring this band full circle in that it reminds me very much of their first cd "Shrunken Head". There is a pervasive gloom surrounding this whole cd (wonderfully Deadbolt!) and it seems to be tight and polished. Stand out songs are "Scary Voodoo Girl", "Telephone the Dead", and "Tell Me Where He Lies". See if you can catch the awesome "Tijuana Hit Squad" reference in "Spot Where They Gunned Him Down"! If you're already a fan it is a must have of course. If you're new to Deadbolt, I would highly recommend "Voodoo Trucker", "Tiki Man", and "Tijuana Hit Squad" which I think are better records. 

Track List:

1. I Should Have Killed You
2. Scary Voodoo Girl
3. Telephone the Dead
4. When the Lights Come On
5. Hell Dorado
6. Spot Where They Gunned Him Down
7. Every Minute of the Day
8. She Ran Away
9. El Segundo
10. Tell Me Where He Lies
11. Big John
12. Fright Wig

Peter Murphy - Holy Smoke (1992)

Studio Recordings @320

{Out of Print}

When Peter Murphy first joined Bauhaus in 1978, in Northampton, England, at the behest of guitarist Daniel Ash, he had never written a single song. It was impossible to tell that Bauhaus would be the gut-busting, genre-defying phenomenon it turned out to be - that is, for about six weeks, which is how long it took Bauhaus to get noticed and shoved into the studio at Beck Studios in Wellingborough. Within a couple of years they were hugely successful in the UK, and scored their second-biggest hit with a distorted, up-tempo cover of Ziggy Stardust. Bauhaus is largely considered to be the first gothic rock group, which makes Peter Murphy the first goth singer - in fact, he has been dubbed "The Godfather of Goth."

Five years and four albums later, the group split up, but Peter Murphy kept on making music, often with a penchant for metaphysical or religious lyricism, which went over the heads of many of his fans in the UK.

Track List:

1. Keep Me From Harm
2. Kill The Hate
3. You're So Close
4. The Sweetest Drop
5. Low Room
6. Let Me Love You
7. Our Secret Garden
8. Dream Gone By
9. Hit Song
10. Bonus Track 1

Wool - Lunar Momento 

The Lost Rancho Sessions

Rancho De La Luna studios

Studio Recordings @ 320

{Out of Print}

Wool formed in the early '90s when brothers Peter and Franz Stahl (vocals/guitar and guitar/vocals, respectively) were forced to terminate their popular band Scream when bassist Skeeter Thompson went AWOL and drummer Dave Grohl joined Seattle grunge band Nirvana mid-way through a U.S. tour. The brothers then teamed up with former Government Issue and future Burning Airlines drummer Peter Moffett and Seattle native and ex-Concrete Blonde bassist Al Bloch (brother of Seattle Sub-Pop legend Kurt Bloch from the Fastbacks).

The quartet's first single "Little Darlin'", is a widely regarded punk single. Then, the band released an EP, 1992's rollicking Budspawn, which was released independently on External Records. The material on Budspawn combined the four members' inherent punk aesthetics with a tendency toward more straight-ahead, anthemic hard rock and drug-induced psychedelia.

Following a line-up change in which Moffett was replaced by former Inside Out and Chain of Strength drummer, Chris Bratton, Wool was signed to London Records in the newly punk-friendly climate of 1993. The band recorded Box Set in early 1994 and released it in the Fall of that year. Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, Box Set expanded on the basic blueprint of Wool's already established sound.

After a less than enthusiastic commercial response to Box Set, the band was dropped by London Records, early on in 1996. Wool recorded new demos in late '94 and late '95, but split up by summer of 1996. Later on guitarist/vocalist Franz Stahl became the touring guitarist for Japanese musician J, and joined former Scream band mate Dave Grohl in the Foo Fighters, replacing departing guitarist Pat Smear. Franz's tenure in the band included the entire world tour for the 1997 album The Colour and the Shape. Peter Stahl went on to play with Earthlings? and Goatsnake and appeared on several of Josh Homme's (Queens of the Stone Age) The Desert Sessions albums. Later on he became a Tour Manager for many bands, including Foo Fighters, Cave In and Rammstein.

Mindfunk - Dropped (1993) {Out of Print}

Mindfunk - Dropped

Studio recordings @224

{Out of Print}

On their second album, the sneeringly-titled "Dropped", Mindfunk vent a little label-related bitterness, and attempt to separate themselves meaningfully from the funk-metal pack. World-class producer Terry Date delivers the slowed-down grooves in an airtight, vacuum sealed muscular-as-hell package that would presage the work he did for Soundgarden on "Badmotorfinger." Its worth comparing the two albums as _Dropped_ does contain more than one obvious nod in the direction of Seattle ( and not just because they induct alt.rock's version of Pete Best - Jason Everman - to play second fiddle to Louis J. Svitek's lead guitar). Opener "Goddess", with its excellent riffing and understated solo work, and the insistent, almost middle-eastern drone metal of "In The Way Eye" are to me the most interesting of this rather lengthy, mostly mid-tempo sophomore set. Having lost drummer extraordinaire Reed St. Mark to Celtic Frost, much of the rhytmic energy and flashy musicianship of their self-titled debut is gone. Stripped down thusly, the songs reveal themselves to be brooding,intensely focused groove monsters that can occasionally end up just slightly on this side of meandering. The album's biggest sin is its sameness, and towards the latter fourth of the album it starts to get a little long in the tooth. "Mama, Moses and Me" is probably the only track that recalls the manic energy of the debut, more often than not replaced with more moody, solemn work like "Drowning." Solid, almost classy in some ways, but it could have really used one or two more uptempo tunes and a few of the psychedelic excesses shaved from the third album.

Helium - The Dirt of Luck - 1995 {Out of Print}

Helium - The Dirt Of Luck (1995)

Studio recordings @320

{Out of Print}

What a backwards rock record The Dirt of Luck is.  Seriously, think about it. Nevermind the double-edge of the title -- there's a mention of good fortune, but really this is just about the grit it coats itself in -- and just sit and listen to this record.

It's a tricky bit of music. At first, it seems perfectly on the up-and-up, of its time and place, because there's something geographic about Mary Timony's sound. When she was in the all-girl band Autoclave in D.C. -- and their short Discography, released on Dischord, is essential indie rock -- their sound tightened up in the tangled coil of that city's streets, in the camraderie of a tight-knit scene. She was in Boston when Helium made The Dirt of Luck, though, and this sounds like the dingy sludge and icy winds of a Northeastern winter. It's chilly and timeless, brittle with the energy of punk rock but delivered in subtler layers, evoking classic rock and other genres.

From there, even if its feels at home, the record is awfully damn confusing. There's the obvious -- that a band called Helium sounds so goddamn low. This is craggy, subterranean shit. Part of this comes from Timony herself (she often plays in a D-tuning), and part comes from Ash Bowie's thundering bass.

The BellRays - Grand Fury (2001)

Studio recordings @ 320

{Out of Print}

Vocalist Lisa Kekaula guitarist Bob Venuum formed the BellRays around 1990 in Riverside, CA. Originally, the duo leaned heavily on a vintage R&B sound flecked with smoky jazz overtones. But with the addition of guitarist Tony Fate and Venumm moving to bass, the sound soon began to mix Kekaula's alley cat soul vocals with a biting punk rock bottom end. The In the Light of the Sun cassette release appeared in 1993, followed by the "Wall of Soul" 7" two years later. the BellRays issued their debut full-length, Let It Blast, in 1998 and supported it with an extensive tour that included a particularly fiery appearance at Austin's South by Southwest conference. By now, drummer Ray Chin had joined the fold, and the 'Rays were making waves with their furiously passionate sound. The Grand Fury LP dropped in 2001 from Los Angeles indie Upper Cut and was followed by a European release combining it with Let It Blast. Tours with notables like Rocket From the Crypt and Nashville Pussy continued to spread the word, and In Music We Trust reissued In the Light of the Sun. 2003 saw the Upper Cut release of Raw Collection, an odds 'n' sods compilation featuring B-sides, rarities, and vinyl-only material from 1995 through 2002. Red White and Black also arrived in 2003, and the band continued to crank out soulful garage-punk on 2006's Have a Little Faith and 2008's Hard, Sweet and Sticky.

Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats - Vol 1. {2010}

Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats - Vol 1.

Studio Recordings @320

{Limited Release}

Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats formed in London in 2009 and burst into the underground rock/metal scene after their second full-length album 'Blood Lust'. But, before that, the band released 'Volume 1' in 2010; an album sounding like something directly from the late 60s / early 70s. The music isn't as much metal as it is sleazy, stoned psychedelic rock a la early Pentagram (before their proper doom metal sound), and the production gives the music an overall dirty, raw feel to it.

Whilst not an extremely gimmicky band, in comparison to Ghost (B.C.) and the likes of Slipknot (eh...), Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats' vocals are interesting, in the sense they sound a lot like the Beatles' Lennon and McCartney on a song like 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds'. Both the vocal style and the production have a hand in the outcome of that.

The Battered Ornaments - Mantle-Piece

Studio recordings @ 256

{Out of Print}

Another Chris Spedding effort...

Battered Ornaments were an ambitious rock band put together by lyricist Pete Brown, known for writing many of Cream's songs with Jack Bruce, after that group broke up. Organized in 1969, Battered Ornaments featured Brown on vocals and trumpet, Graham Layden (vocals), Chris Spedding (guitar), Charlie Hart (organ, violin), George Khan (sax), Butch Potter (bass), Rob Tait (drums), and Pete Bailey (percussion).

Layden was an early casualty. The group released an initial LP, A Meal You Can Shake Hands With in the Dark, credited to Pete Brown and His Battered Ornaments, and completed a second, Mantelpiece, before Brown left in a dispute with Spedding. Brown's vocals were then wiped off Mantelpiece and replaced by Spedding. The group continued until Spedding's departure for a 
solo career.

Chris Spedding - Hurt (1977)

Chris Spedding recharged his career when the '77 era punk explosion emerged. Spedding, a veteran musician who already had three albums of his own and many critical appearances on many other artist's albums, came out with "Pogo Dancing" with The Vibrators. Then, released his eponymous album, Chris Spedding, the best album of his career. His follow-up, Hurt, is a harder rocking LP. Side 2 (on the vinyl) just completely roars with "Wild Wild Women", "Road Runner", the premiere "Stay Dumb", "Get Outa My Pagoda" and winding up with "Hurt By Love". While not as essential as it's predecessor, Hurt is a must have album by a very important artist.

Man or Astro-Man? - Experiment Zero - 1996

Studio Recordings @320

{Out of Print}

Experiment Zero is almost a movie in itself as the story unfolds with a speaker test in the lab. Channels, frequencies, volume, etc... are all tested in true 50's form. Once the controls have been adjusted, the music begins in full force as the lab coats have their fun just getting warmed up. As Experiment Zero moves into it's meaty section, the theme focuses on the scientist's efforts to contact outer space with Television Fission, DNI, and Planet Collision. Guitars are raw, fast, high powered, yet retain just enough twang to keep it cool. Like a true Hollywood film with parallel action, attention quickly changes to outer space where evil robots have taken over planets and claimed machinery for their evil efforts along the way.

Golem - Orion Awakes (1973) {Out Of Print}

Golem - Orion Awakes (1973*)
Studio Recordings @320

{Out of Print}

Between the early and mid 1970s, at Dieter Dierk's studios, a renowned German producer and sound engineer, a series of sessions took place led by Toby Robinson (also known as Mad Twiddler), one of Dierk's engineers, and made by some musicians of very known bands on the krautrock scene, but who used pseudonyms to avoid contractual problems with their record labels. These recordings were released by the mysterious Pyramid label and each album featured invented names of bands and musicians, even if most were practically the same. The albums were pressed in a very rustic and handcrafted way, besides each one - according to some sources - had approximately 25 copies, which were sold at art galleries or given away as gifts to the musicians' friends and relatives.

Orion Awake by fictitious band Golem was one of the last releases by Pyramid, but its date of release is still a little uncertain, however according to The Crack In The Cosmic Egg, by the brothers Alan and Steven Freeman, it was released in 1976(*). This album sound has strong alliances with space rock and recreates the atmosphere from krautrock earliest days. Much of this album might remind you bands like Hawkwind, Gila, Ash Ra Tempel, Neu!, plus some Hendrix-influenced guitar solos. An album that sadly and intentionally remained hidden for a long time, which when was discovered, made even the self-proclaimed krautrock 'experts' freak out!

Track List:
01. Orion Awakes (7:19)
02. Stellar Launch (7:37)
03. Godhead Dance (6:33)
04. Jupiter & Beyond (14:21)
a) Signal
b) Noise
c) Rebirth
05. The Returning (7:44)

NOTE:

*Exact release year unknown*

Willi Berghoff - guitars
Rolf Föller - guitars
Manfred Hof - organ, Mellotron, synthesizers
Mungo - bass
Joachim Bohne - drums

Originally on Pyramid Records LP (Pyramid 015)

Ecclectic, psychedelic epic rock with lot of Hammond organs, heavy drums and jamming guitars. Their album Orion Awakes (1973) belongs to Pyramid Records archives. Amazing, catchy improvised free spacey rockin' trip that can reminds the best efforts delivered by early Pink Floyd, Gila, Dies Irae, Jane.
