Avant-Rock and Dub rub up against each other in this gorgeous track from the bands 1993 EP ‘Go Round’. The track slowly rotates around drums and bass whilst guitars, vocals, and other ephemera, melts and drifts into the ether.
This 2020 piece is the soundtrack for the film ‘Entering The Forbidden Zone’ by Conor McGrady. We’re in deep 21st century-era NWW territory here, so the initiated will know what to expect.
The tune starts with creepy menace and samples from ‘Something For Susan’ by Henry Mancini, before building into noisy bile with Thirlwell’s vile alter-ego Clint Ruin in full hate-mode. This is from Jim’s 1988 album ‘THAW’, which is probably his most nihilistic outing. However, don’t let that description put you off, it’s a wild psychedelic ride and utterly hilarious to boot.
Brittle Electronica from the German Post-Rockers 1999 album ‘The Amateur View’.
Improv, squeals, squarks, skronks, and flickers of albums past from the Cambridge band.
Tugs on the heartstrings as well as the feet; this is the original mix/version of this tune from Angel’s 1994 EP ‘In Flight Entertainment’.
This Heat with Didgeridoo? Some have said that in the past. These two were on the wonderful ‘These Records’ label, who did also happen to have the aforementioned This Heat on their roster. The austere, minimal feel of Avant-Rock bands past were definitely underpinning the buzz of the didgeridoo, making for an album that easily slotted into the RIO category. This is the whole of ‘Somewhere’ from 1988.
The Basic Channel guys dive deep on this immersive Dub techno tune from 1994.
Sound piece from a band who usually do the brutal, Industrial Rock ‘n’ Roll one would associate with Foetus, Birthday Party, et al. From their 1990 debut ‘Consumer Revolt’.
