Have a Nice Life - The Unnatural World (2014)
Their long-awaited follow-up to Deathconsciousness. It doesn't quite grab me in the same way as their debut does but I'm slowly warming up to it. Expect the same sort of lo-fi production, droning guitars and emotionally-pained vocals as their debut.



Kreator - Extreme Aggression (1989)
I've heard the odd Kreator song here and there but I'd never given any of their albums a listen. Wasn't quite sure where to start with them so I took a chance on this. It was every bit as good as I expected; tight as fuck thrash with some nice pissed-off vocals.

Against Me! - Acoustic EP
For some reason I always thought this band sucked - possibly because of their lame band name and association with Fat Wreck Chords. But I heard a few songs here and there so went back and got this - it's amazing!

To satisfy my morbid curiosity...Dug these in the dollar bin!
John Lennon - Mind Games - 1973, Apple pressing - Obviously there for the poor cover condition, but it had the lyric sheet and a decent condition Apple pressing vinyl which I will play every once in a while. Not too much of a fan of post-Imagine Lennon despite the occasional mark of greatness (Walls and Bridges, especially), but this is a decent album and a major rebound from Sometime in New York City, especially for the classic title track alone.

Sniff n The Tears - Fickle Heart, 1978 -Two words, "Driver's Seat". Never topped it, but damn what a one-hit-wonder! For some reason, I feel that a deal with The Devil was made to have one ultra great song that will be featured for years to come (used to perfect effect in Boogie Nights!) with nobody but crazy used record buyers like myself actually wanting to hear the rest of the story which proved to be pretty good in spots. Still, this is a one song show with a showing of the lead singer's painting skill on the front!

Yes - Tormato - Cut-Out, 1978
Worthy for anyone's Music Masochist Cut Out collection! Despite looking cool on the back cover in shades and including "Release Release", one of the few Yes songs I can say is alright to my ears (call me heathen, but I think that Drama is more to my liking!), this to me is a reason why Punk had to happen (even if most of the US was not listening). The thrown tomato on the cover was a nice touch, and the pressing being a cut out makes it even better. Great musicianship, but that's about the nicest thing I can say about it.

The Four Seasons - Half and Half - 1970, Cut Out - The first end of the line for the name (pre-70's revival hits like "December 1963" and "Grease") with five Solo Frankie Valli cuts and five Four Seasons cuts before the occasional revival. Released after the flop of flops that was The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette (featuring a newspaper style cover), this was trying to find their place in the then new music scene which was the cheap bins with a horrid cover although with some interesting tracks that sees a group from the old guard attempting to do something with what little they had left. Of interest to career-end researchers, intense Four Seasons fans, and flop record collectors only (I'm no Four Seasons fan so for me, as Meatloaf sang, two out of three ain't bad.). Includes "And That Reminds Me" and "Patch of Blue"...in short, no hits but that whine was kept to a minimum.

Gary O - 1984 - Canadian New Waveish Singer/Songwriter on RCA in The US with a passable style (read: nothing too exciting, but listenable for a dollar). The cover is pretty bad, featuring a stupid "cover the face" photo of the singer on the front which makes Robbie Williams' introduction to the US (on The Ego Has Landed) look sharp by comparison and a crap photo of him wearing a boot and a shoe on the back, so in a way the album really had no chance to get around outside of Canada, but it had a song I remembered as a teen called "Shades of '45" which was the last song, so it was thrown into the collection.

Nick Heyward - North of a Miracle, 1983 - Here's a case where I can say that his 90's music was better than his 80's, but this had a couple of memories of my New Pop listening days (including actually owning the "On a Sunday" that's no longer in my collection...damn my moving!). Tuneful and Twee about sums it up.

Berlin - "Sex (I'm a)" single. The Ed Colver photo on the front is a pretty good way to package a single that's a decent gimmick-driven cult hit, although one I loved back in the day. To be fair, Terri Nunn had what it took to sing it.

If there's ever a renaissance of film noir, these guys should do the soundtrack. Very solid track record over their life span and this album is no exception. Some great piano jazz on this.
Hmm... I couldn't quite get into the few Bohren & der Club of Gore albums I heard a while back, but this is intriguing. Is this basically like a drums/bass/piano trio?

Alvarius B. - Fuck You And The Horse You Rode In On.

Silly my for thinking this was going to be more like "Baroque Primitiva". If anything this is like Alan's earlier s/t's, but it is a pretty pronounced "FUCK YOU" to anyone expecting the beautiful acoustic meanderings of "Baroque Primitiva". It's full of typical SCG abstract sound collages and bizarre comedy sketches. If you're versed with Sun City Girls, you'd know the inconsistencies in quality between releases, and that it comes with the band. From what I can gather, this release is more of a collection of recordings back before SCG formed and from what I remember Alan was involved with punk bands, so it has that sort of "punk" influence in it, which is a little interesting to hear.

Which albums have you heard? Basically their songs are largely based around piano, sax, and drums but with long sustained notes to give it a pretty drone-y/ ambient vibe.

Lumbar - The First and Last Days of Unwelcome

an unfortunate one time collaboration between Aaron Edge (Roareth, Rote Hexe, Hauler, etc.), Tad Doyle (TAD) and Mike Scheidt (YOB, Vhöl).....at first listen it really is a damn near perfect sludge/doom album.....slow building and crushing chords....desperate and misanthropic bellows....and even some Sunn0))) inspired ambiance....

but when you find out the story behind the collaboration it becomes even more doom riddled
INTERVIEW: Aaron Edge & Mike Scheidt of Lumbar (Plus Track Stream)
just read it there

a definite choice for any and all doom fans here....and it has Tad Fuckin Doyle on it!
