Extreme Noise Terror - A Holocaust In Your Head
Finally, I have some time off work and have been participating in volume induced acitvation therapy to repair my fractured synapses. This is a good way to get on with posting. Sometime in the mid '80s, I was listening to The Saintly Peel and he said something like [apologies, can't do the accent] "my lad advised me to go and see this band so I went over to Ipswich to see them. Very energetic it was too! They are currently unsigned but not for long I bet. Here's Extreme Noise Terror." He proceeded to play a recording of the entire gig. It was a short gig, but it's still playing in my head nearly 40 years later. I can't even picture the room that I was in, just an overwhelming feeling of what the fuck. Some smartarse journo went on to call things like this grindcore but that term didn't exist then. I still think of it as hardcore anarcho-punk. So what.
Initially released on vinyl on Head Eruption Records in 1989. This is a lossless rip of the CD released on Japan's Toy's Factory in 1991. I think that this is the only digital version that includes the opening track "Statement".

Fushitsusha - A Little Longer Thus
The Sunken - Untitled
Various - Dry Lungs IV
Plenty of Controlled Bleeding and related, some Minus Delta T (or -Δt if you prefer), Un Drame Musical Instantané and Robert Rich amongst others. Then you get a couple of tracks that must have opened Occidental eyes nice and wide: a rabid industrial track from Ichiro Tsuji (aka Dissecting Table) and some great non-wanking loping and looped noise crunk courtesy of The Gerogerigegege (aka Juntaro Yamanouchi but not always on a solo basis ... sometimes others gave him a helping hand).
This is a lossless rip of the CD on Subterranean Records from 1989.

Fushitsusha - The Time Is Nigh
It sure is! Haino and Ozawa with drummer Jun Kosugi (of Shizuka), four songs of black-hole psychedelia. Another album from Fushisusha's inexplicable run of major-label CDs from the late 1990s.

Swans - Public Castration Is A Good Idea
Let's face it, celebrating New Year is as trite and futile as complaining when it doesn't satisfy your vain attempts to prop up your ego. But, three and a half days for it to turn to shit? Now that's taking the piss! I'm so glad that I don't believe in fate or destiny because I might have to go out and inflict my pain on some poor bastards who have nothing to do with it. Then six days in? The anniversary of the animated pond scum's attempt to have a nice day out in the name of totalitarianism (it's like the redneck's version of democracy ... if in doubt, just carry on playing with your own faeces ... look, poo poo mountain, well done you!). Then fron nowhere, on the same day, comes the blazing light of redemption ... Mister Gira has just offered up his homework for the next Swans release ... it's a fundraiser to get everyone together to record it, and people buy it which supports the next Swans tour. Multiple services to humanity all rolled into one.
Suddenly, it made sense for me to go back to this recording because it put me straight back in touch with my current feelings and the silent rage would lead to dancing and shit-eating-grinning face. On a particular day in 1986, I performed my Saturday morning ritual of visiting Piccadilly Records (when it was in the "Plaza", lost it's soul when it moved). I walked in and this was on the shelf behind the counter. No contest. I emptied my pockets and walked home. I put it on and I pretty much shat myself. This wasn't music. I knew I should have spent my dole money on something cool to impress some other fuckers that I didn't even care much about then. In those times, my disposable income involved food vs vinyl. Happy days. I had not seen Swans live and really did not have a clue what the mission was. A year later I saw Swans on the Children Of God tour and pretty much everything changed for me from that night on.
Apparently, the vinyl is worth a fair bit these days. I couldn't give a shit because I will never sell mine. It's priceless.
However, how about a 24/192 rip? It's in two parts and comes in at nearly 3GB. If that is an issue for you then tough shit.
As it says on the back cover: Play At Maximum Volume.

va - Dry Lungs V
We have loads of things that sit as draft posts that appear to be good ideas at the time and then are "temporarily" forgotten. I currently have shit be gwan as da yoot have resolutely refused to say. So Mrs Inside has dragged this back into existence as a holding position. Just checked the upload and there are tracks missing (thanks to masaya for pointing that out). So ... here's cue and log of the discs.

MvvMvv Vets - O Seasons, O Châteaus!
The only "full" recording from the combination of Jennifer Sindon and John Wiese that manages to describe my current state of mind extraordinarily well.
Single-sided 7" released on NuForms in 2001.

John Coltrane - Ascension
A magnificent set of improvisations. The first session was released on vinyl in 1966 but John preferred the second session. So without much fanfare, the release was just switched around so there are "Edition I"'s and "Edition II"'s. The line-up is legendary but it is worth a nod towards Archie Shepp and Pharoah Sanders who also join Coltrane on tenor sax.
This is the Japanese Impulse! CD reissue from 2001 that has both editions in the order that was artistically intended.

Various - Come Organisation
My eventual development involved stopping being obsessed by the flowing skirts of half of The Manhattan Transfer (ra da da da da) and Debbie Harry's nipples and into even deeper levels of transgression. At the time that these were individually released I was too young and knew nobody that had a clue that this stuff even existed. Eventually, I was able to go backwards to move forward. Nazi themes, the serial killer as hero and particularly the Sotos contributions to this part of the subunderground leave me very cold indeed.
The influence of Steven Stapleton, Maurizio Bianchi and Jim Thirwell on here sings out, but the quality of the actual music when they get down to it is pretty inspirational considering when it was recorded. This is an astonishingly great re-representation that lets me hear things in this work that I had not grasped before. It's a ten LP and one ten inch single and it could only be courtesy of Vinyl-on demand. This particular release is a verifiable work of art. I try not to think about never being in a position to buy it ... it makes me sad.
Anyway. I've had a good day at work. The cats have all had their christmas day tuna. I'm listening to Pharoah Sanders, drinking fine Belgian beer and cooking what promises to be a very impressive curry. Even though it turns to shit around us, life is still very excellent and so much better than the alternative.

Various - De Nagalm Op De Kopf!
"Released at the occasion of the Ultra Eczema Galmbal event on 18th October 2008 at the Oude Stadsfeestzaal, Mechelen, Belgium. Each paying visitor received a copy with a specially printed magazine featuring artwork by Dennis Tyfus."
It's Ultra Eczema.
As you would expect, it's littered with genius ... but do yourself a favour, go straight to track 19: Bloated Ego & The Compliments covering Bad Brains with Cartman as guest vocalist.
Yeah, that's what it felt like when we were happy on a fairly regular basis!
