Universal Congress of (funk, jazz, punk, albums, title)

cardboard adolescent · 11-20-2006, 03:22 PM

Okay, so I know hiu already knows these guys, but they're a pretty incredible jazz/funk/punk outfit that rose from the ashes of Saccharine Trust and got together in the late 80's to make some incredibly kick-ass tunes.

I'm uploading their 1990 album The Sad And Tragic Demise of Big Fine Salty Black Wind (with a title like that, it must be good, right?)

This is for anyone who would be curious in hearing what the Minutemen would sound like if they played with Ornette Coleman. White Lies, Urban, swim, you guys would probably enjoy this.

C.A...can you do me a favour please?

Would you PM me the exact link. For some reason when I change the 'x's to 't's, it still doesn't give me the site. It's a problem I've had for a while.

If anyone knows why this is...let me know...

I have more if anyone wants it. Probably one of the better SST bands.

I'm listening to the first song right now. Kind of reminds me of the Tar Babies (another cool SST band), except more chill. I can already tell I'm gonna love this, thanks for the upload.

I've been meaning to check out Saccharine Trust, and I'm downloading We Became Snakes just now. I'm guessing some of you guys have heard them, any good?

cardboard adolescent · 11-21-2006, 05:26 PM

I have one of their albums and like it a lot. If you could upload We Became Snakes once you have it, I would be eternally grateful.

OK i'm uploading We Became Snakes right now. I've given it the once over, and I like it a lot. I really love Universal Congress Of though, I've listened to that album 6 times already, i think.

hiu, if you could upload some more Universal Congress Of, I'd really appreciate that.
