TWELVE YEARS OF UNWANTED OPINION
The Bug has collaborated with Warrior Queen many times now, but this EP is one of the earlier efforts. Backed with the tune “World War 3”, “Aktion Pak” itself is a fair ol’ banger. The rest of the release contains extensive dubs/remixes of the title track by The Bug himself, as well as a completely unrelated track at the end. A strange one.
2015 – The Fall Of Newport is the “lost” Sanguelia album that was originally meant to come out years ago. Unlike the project’s first record, a recording of real-life drumming was never placed over the synth work, so years laterx sole-remaining member Linus programmed the drums himself, and this finally saw the light of day in 2022. Personally, I prefer this over the first record (although I might be biased), I love the bubbling bass and the sounds of the analogue synths just really appeal to me. It really does sound like a soundtrack for an old giallo (one with a lot of car chases and running up or down fire escapes) or an action/horror movie of the 1980s. Great stuff.
Absolute nonsense of the highest order. Anal Blasphemy don’t go anywhere near as hard as their logo and cover art history promises. Some of the other stuff looks proper wild though so I’ll have to start there. Necroslut sound like something you’d have heard on a demo cassette in 1990. The sound is a little better on their side, allowing that bestial stomp to hit home. Silly, but good fun.
Incredibly chilled record from the legendary John Coltrane and his band. Most immediate thing I notice with the mix of this is that the brass is panned hard left, blasting and rattling out of that speaker, whereas the right just bums with the double bass and ticking percussion. Seven tracks in length, I’ve been enjoying this as a soundtrack to my commute. Listening to the sublime tones as the rain dances with the tarmac and the traffic lights had made me feel like I’m in some sort of fancy movie, but alas I arrive at the office before I know it. I look forward to letting this one unfurl further and to become more familiar with the individual tracks.
