Unnatural Axe - 1978 - They Saved Hitlers Brain 7'' (US)
Unnatural Axe - 1978 - They Saved Hitlers Brain 7'' (US)
.
It is 1977. A scruffy neighborhood of Boston sprouts a band of naive working-class kids who think they can shake up the world with their personal take on the punk rock experience. Not content, or possibly even competent enough, to be another Jam clone or a Clash clone, Unnatural Axe bash out their own brand of two-chord and three-chord rock, and crank it up extra high.
Throughout 1978 and 1979 the Axe were playing regularly in New York, and at Cantone's, the Rat, and the Space in Boston as the opening act for the "big" UK and US new wave acts of the time. Their strangest billing must have been opening for The Police at the Rat in Kenmore Square. It is truly unfortunate that Sting squandered this "turning point" opportunity to learn the essentials of punk rock from Boston's finest. Sting's only question of the Axe vocalist: "Did you poop?"
But such is the fate for the greatest moments of brilliance of our times: few people recognize it. The big club owners didn't see it and the major record labels didn't hear it. After two short years, the Axe packed it in.
As a result, the Unnatural Axe discography is small, but what recordings do exist provide the documented proof that the Axe were, and shall always remain, the most important punk band Boston will ever call its own.

Siglo XX - 1980 - The Naked And The Death 7'' (BE)
Siglo XX - 1980 - The Naked And The Death 7'' (BE)
.
SIGLO XX (Antonio PALERMO, Dirk CHAUVAUX, Erik DRIES and Klaas HOOGERWAARD) hail from Genk, a depressed industrial city in Belgium. After the closing of the coal pits, Genk has now a painful present of unemployment, poverty, drug abuse and violence.
In that context, there's nothing unusual in a "rock" group stamping their sound with a hard, dark, but also very personal and emotional philosophy. Their formative years were the years of Punk. And perhaps there you'll find a cause for their headstrong tenacity of doing it in their own way. SIGLO XX refuse to produce music that shys away from looking reality straight in the eye. They've succeeded in imbuing their art with a touch of impressionism that's sadly lacking in a world preferring to whistle only unaffected melodies.
SIGLO XX have remained passionate and fascinated, following their own chosen way without losing sleep over fashion or trends. Constantly evolving, the group attracts a growing number of commited fans all over Europe.

Q4U - 1996 - Qtvo 1980-1983 (ISK)
.
Fronted by the powerful female singer Elly, Q4U is a legendary Icelandic band out of the "Rokk i Reykjavik" period. They started out as a raw punk band in 1980 but evolved into a syntheziser-powered chic-rock that brings to mind Siouxsie & The Banshees and the Electro-clash movement of today. This great CD has everything Q4U ever did: Their only actual record, the 1983 6-track EP "Q1", a 18-track previously unreleased punk cassette, and a various other recordings, 34 tracks in all.

Autumn - 1982 - Synthesize 7'' (BE)
Autumn - 1982 - Synthesize 7'' (BE)
.
The story of Autumn covers a 5 year period, during which several milestones display the evolution. These major events are : Hard Breakfast (1981), Experiments With Environments (1982), Metropolis (1983-1984) and Silicon Valley (1984). All produced tapes are listed in the Micrart Catalog.
Up to Hard Breakfast
As young kids, Geert and Peter (Sen and Ense) we intrigued by the experimental and cosmic music scenes, and wanted to explore further in that direction. At first, they had to rely on family and friends to supply them with primitive keyboards, organ, and other synthesizer-like instruments. About 1980, they were able of putting a band together and doing some performances, which resulted in the first tape 'Seven Days Autumn'.
They were able to rent a 2 voice, 8 step analog sequencer by Yamaha (CS30) for a week, which they used to produce a pile of compositions at their rehearsal locations, which were subsequently baptised 'Atem' and 'Attne'. The best recordings of that era is to be found on the first tape and 'I Invite', released in the same year.
In the mean time, they kept on performing with the band which became quite known in a wide area. It ignited the idea of setting up a special event, 'Hard Breakfast'. Hard Breakfast was built around the electronic music of Autumn, but assisted by live jazz-dance and live computer graphics art : and all that dated 1981 ! Hard Breakfast required a team of 11 people of which 5 on stage, and the guys were only 17. From that period on, graphics will be playing an incresing role.
On stage, Autumn used the brand new Roland CSQ600 sequencer with the SH-2 2-voice monophone synth as melodic rhythm unit. The sequencer had 4 memories (which was a revolution at that time : computer memory instead of analog knobs), and had to be reprogrammed during the 2-3 hour show. It was synced manually with a Godwin Organ rhythm section (check out 'Paraselcus' on the Hard Breakfast tape !), which provided also a bright range of keyboard sounds such as lovely smooth strings and a clavichord sound. Next to that, they used a Yamaha C40M as huge effect generator, manipulated live, the Roland Vocoder, and a 12 channel mixing desk - completed by some mikes, acoustic and electric guitar, flute. O yeah, there was also 1 delay machine which was able to produce a single echo effect ! And most of the equipment was rented : they never even used it before !!! Keeping all this in mind, Hard Breakfast was an even more amazing achievement. Some old graphical Hard Breakfast material has survived and you can look at it here.
In that same period, Autumn wrote some original tracks for the soundtrack of the first 8mm movie by Jan Verheyen, a classmate of Peter and Geert. For this occasion, Autumn records in a professional studio, using the world famous roland System 7 modular system, in combination with the ARP 2600 synthesizer and sequencer. Some of these tracks are included on the tape 'I Invite' Jan would later found his film distribution and production firm, and started directing movies.
A major heritage from this period, is the band's capability of producing great improvised music. When you listen to the tracks, one can hardly believe that most of them are created on the spot and they were lucky the recording tape was running. Many nice things were therefore lost. But improvisation was also a need, as they hadn't access to the instruments all the time. Nevertheless, they were capable of producing music that was interesting, well made, good melodies, and with content.
Exploration
Shortly after Hard Breakfast, Geert and Peter were able to buy some synthesizers for themselves, allowing them to drastically increase their musical creativity and productivity. It soon resulted in many tracks, which were released on several tapes, and performed live in many concerts. They bought (as one of the first) the revolutionary Roland TR 808 rhythm machine to synchronise with the CSQ 600 sequencer and SH-2 bassline synth. The Roland Jupiter-4 was used as basic polyphonic keyboard (4 voices, 8 memories), and a Teisco synth was chosen for lead synth sounds. Additionally, they used 2 syndrums (electronic percussion), 2x6 channel boss mixing desk and hired an echo machine.
In those days, Autumn was a loose initiative rooted by Peter and Geert, but most often joined by Peter Koutstaal. It also allowed them to get into different styles again, which resulted in the formation of two other bands, Linear Movement and Twilight Ritual. The even released a single 'Synthesize' which became a modest summer hit in 1982, which was recorded in a professional 24 track studio in only 7 hours (for both sides !).
Experiments With Environments
As Autumn, Geert and Peter used the artistname 'Sen' and 'Ense', which became identified with the band. Being Autumn, they continued to produce many great tracks, of which the tapes 'Experiments With Environments' became a landmark in their history. This tape is of very high standards, and shows how much the band evolved in only a year. Having all material at hand, it allowed the band to explore in depth the limits of the equipment.
During the months before EWE, Autumn built up a communication channel with many other musicians in the independent and alternative music scene. From that moment on, Autumn appeared on many compilation projects. EWE is not really a project as such, rather a gathering of experiments with environments, which is an expression chosen afterwards to become the title of the tape.
After EWE, Autumns activities are reduced to give time to the other projects, Twilight Ritual and Linear Movement.

White Boy - 1977 - Spastic 7'' (US)
.
"For some reason I can't help but think that if this were a crummy homemade cassette I'd be going apeshit over it. This doesn't sound like it should be a record--it's got that two guys in a basement with a drum machine and tape recorder vibe to it. What this really brings to mind is industrial music circa 1982: disregard for rock structures, big mean noise, shitty fake drums, overwrought delivery, and not much in the way of audio fidelity. Miles better than the first White Boy record, but still nowhere near what they were capable of at their peak."

Destroy All Monsters - 1999 - Bored (US)
Destroy All Monsters - 1999 - Bored (US)
.
Their music touched on elements of punk rock, psychedelic, heavy metal music and noise rock with a heavy dose of performance art. Their name has sometimes thought to have came from a Godzilla movie, but it could also have come from a comic book with the same title. They described their music as "anti-rock."
Destroy All Monsters never found mainstream success, but earned some notoriety due to members of notable rock groups The Stooges and MC5 who joined the group.
Although Destroy All Monsters never recorded a proper album, Sonic Youth singer/guitarist Thurston Moore released a three compact disc compilation of the group's music in 1994.
.
Early years
Formed in 1973, the first edition of Destroy All Monsters was formed by University of Michigan art students Mike Kelley, Jim Shaw, Niagara and filmmaker Cary Loren. They performed in the Ann Arbor area from 1973-1976, and their only release was a one-hour cassette of their recordings available only through Lightworks magazine. Their early music was Influenced by Sun Ra, Velvet Underground, ESP-Disk, monster movies, beat culture and futurism' their sound was experimental, psychedelic, darkly humorous and droning.
On New Year's Eve of 1973, the first Destroy All Monsters concert was held at a comic book convention in Ann Arbor, Michigan. At the time the instruments were a violin, a sax, a vacuum cleaner and a coffee can. They performed a demented version of Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" and were asked to leave after ten minutes. The group performed "Guerilla Style" setting up for free at parties, playing for food along Ann Arbor's frat row. They used modified instruments, a drum box, tape loops, hot-wired toys, cheap keyboards and broken electronic devices. The only formal gig they had (beside the comic convention) was at the Halloween Ball at the University of Michigan art school in 1976.
Kelley and Shaw left the band during the summer of 1976 to attend graduate school at CalArts in Los Angeles, California. Both have gone on to lead successful solo careers in the art world. Their work is held in major collections around the world.
.
New Personnel
In 1977, Niagara and Loren recruited guitarist Laurence B. (Larry) Miller and saxophonist Benjamin (Ben) Miller; both had been in the short-lived Sproton Layer with their brother Roger Miller (who later went on to found Mission of Burma). They invited Mike (Jett) Powers on bass but he soon left for Harvard University. Not long after, members of two important Detroit-based groups signed on: guitarist Ron Asheton, earlier of The Stooges, and bass guitarist Michael Davis of the MC5. Their presence garnered the group more attention than ever before. Shortly thereafter, Ron asked drummer Rob King to join the band.
In 1978, Destroy All Monsters were preparing to release "Bored", their first official recording, when the group began to fall apart. Niagara ended her romance with Loren in favor of a new relationship with Asheton; Loren quit the group, with the Miller brothers leaving after the band's Halloween gig at EMU, in 1978. The "Bored"/"You’re Gonna Die" single earned some attention in the UK music press[1], but the band was able to capitalize on the notoriety, and spent many years riding the punk/new wave era. They formed an alliance with the Ramones, The Dead Boys, and Pere Ubu, all seminal punk bands. They would tour together and open for each other in their respective home towns. This punk version of DAM disbanded in 1985.
.
Later developments and reunion
In late 1978, Loren issued a live DAM EP known as "Days of Diamonds" on his Black Hole label. Another EP followed in 1979, "Blackout in the City" under the name XANADU with the Miller Brothers, Loren and Rob King. Niagara and Ron Asheton carried on with various personnel releasing a total of three 7" singles on the IDBI label before ending the group in 1985. The Asheton singles were released by Cherry Red Records on CD.
In 1994, Mike Kelley, Cary Loren, Byron Coley and Thurston Moore compiled a three-CD boxed set of music, artwork and extensive liner notes as Destroy All Monsters: 1974-1976 on Moore's Ecstatic Peace! label.
The original lineup (Kelley, Loren, Niagara and Shaw) reformed for reunion shows in 1995. Loren republished the six issues of the Destroy All Monsters Magazine (1976-1979) with added DAM student artwork, flexi disc and history in the book DESTROY ALL MONSTERS:GEISHA THIS -- four VHS tapes of DAM films were also issued. An exhibition of their artwork followed at the Book Beat Gallery as well as live performances in Detroit, Los Angeles and San Diego. A live "CD, Silver Wedding Anniversary" resulted from these concerts and was released in 1996 on the Sympathy for the Record Industry label.
In 1996, the group (sans Niagara) performed in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan. A display of DAM artwork was held at the Deep Gallery in Tokyo. At the invitation of Ben Schot and Ronald Cornelissen for the "I Rip You, You Rip Me" festival and seminar at the Boijman's Museum in Rotterdam, DAM began work on the installation and film known as Strange Früt: Rock Apochrypha an investigation of Detroit culture. This exhibition was shown and completed in 2000 at COCA (Center on Contemporary Art) in Seattle, WA., and in 2001 at the DAM Collective: Artists Take On Detroit at the Detroit Institute of Arts. This work was also selected for inclusion in the 2002 Whitney Biennial of Art in NYC.
In 2006, the "Strange Früt" exhibition and the bands archives traveled to the Magasin Center for Contemporary Art in Grenoble, France. DAM performed at the "All Tomorrow's Parties" festivals in Los Angeles as guest artists of Sonic Youth, and in London, UK as guest artists selected by Dino and Jake Chapman. A selection of the band's archives is on exhibition as part of the "Theater Without Theater" show at MACBA in Barcelona, Spain opening May 25 2007. The exhibit will travel to Lisbon, Spain in the fall.
Since 1995, the band has released five full length CDs on their own label(s) [The End is Here]: Radio Teardrop 1996, Backyard Monster Tube and Pig 1998, Swamp Gas 2001, and on [Compound Annex]: Detroit Oratorio 2003, DAM: Live in Tokyo 2003.
A reprint of first six issues of DAM Magazine with added band artwork, history, and a flexi disc was published by Book Beat in 1995 as Destroy All Monsters: Geisha This, and was reprinted in three different editions. A DVD of selected DAM films was released in 2007 by MVD video as: "Grow Live Monsters" featuring early 8mm & 16mm films taken in 1971-1976.
In 2009 the Printed Matter bookstore in NYC mounted an exhibit Hungry for Death featuring the group's collected work. The exhibition toured to White Flag Projects in St Louis, 0047 in Oslo and in 2010 will culminate at SPACE, London. To coincide Printed Matter released a 1975 recording Double Sextet as a vinyl album. They also re-released the Destroy All Monsters: 1974 - 1976 compilation, without booklet, in a limited edition of 1000

23 Skidoo - 1981 - Ethics 7'' (UK)
23 Skidoo - 1981 - Ethics 7'' (UK)
.
23 Skidoo are a British band playing a fusion of industrial, post-punk, alternative dance, rock, and world music. The group was named after a mysterious Illuminati phrase that appeared in the work of Aleister Crowley, William S. Burroughs, and filmmaker Julian Biggs.
Formed in 1979 by Fritz Catlin, Johnny Turnbull and Sam Mills, and later augmented by Alex Turnbull and Tom Heslop, 23 Skidoo had interests in martial arts, Burundi and Kodo drumming, Fela Kuti, The Last Poets, William Burroughs, as well as the emerging confluence of industrial, post-punk and funk, heard in artists such as A Certain Ratio, Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, The Pop Group and This Heat.
Their first 7", "Ethics" was released in 1980, followed by the "Last Words" 7", produced by Stephen Mallinder and Richard H. Kirk from Cabaret Voltaire. A Peel Session was recorded on September 16, 1981 that included Richard. Their debut album, Seven Songs, was released in 1982 and is said to evoke the claustrophobic humidity of an African forest. The Tearing Up The Plans EP followed, with the absence on the Turnbull brothers, who were traveling through Indonesia. Guitarist Sam Mills and vocalist Tom Heslop left the band soon after, and with the arrival of slap-bassist David "Sketch" Martin following the break-up of Linx, the lineup remained the same until their disintegration in 2003.
With the Turnbull brothers back from Indonesia where they were exposed to Gamelan, the band recruited Aswad's horn section for the "Coup" 12", which featured samples from Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now. It has been alleged that The Chemical Brothers stole the bass line for their "Block Rockin' Beats" track. The Culling Is Coming (1983 - noted for featuring the band live at the first WOMAD Festival) and Urban Gamelan (1984) followed, criticized at the time for their shift towards more abstract sounds. After having been evicted from their rehearsal space at Genesis P-Orridge's 'Death Factory' the band shifted their focus towards hip hop and released a few singles and a compilation album Just Like Everybody in 1987.
In 1989 the Turnbull brothers formed the Ronin label, and released material by Deckwrecka, Roots Manuva, and Rodney P amongst others. They signed to Virgin Records in 1991 and were able to build a new studio with their advance. In 2000 they released a self-titled LP, which featured contributions from Pharoah Sanders and Roots Manuva. This was followed by a compilation of singles, The Gospel Comes To New Guinea in 2002, and for the first time on CD, reissues of Seven Songs and Urban Gamelan. In 2003 the Turnbull brothers liquidated the company. Fritz Catlin has a new project called Skintologists which you can preview at www.myspace.com/hashashan

Robert Rental - 1978 - Paralysis 7'' (UK)
.
Robert Rental was the stage name of Robert Donnachie (1952-2000), a pioneer of the post punk DIY industrial electronic music scene in the United Kingdom.
Originally from Port Glasgow, Scotland, he moved to the south of England with Thomas Leer in the late 1970s, and became involved with the local music scene.
Robert Rental however released very little of his solo music, preferring to collaborate with Thomas Leer, as well as with Daniel Miller (as The Normal). The only solo recording from The 1970s is the 7" single "Paralysis" first released on the homemade Regular Records, then re-released on Company Records in 1978.
"Paralysis" was recorded at home on a 4 track Tascam tape recorder which he hired in collaboration with Leer. The single features the distorted sound of a Stylophone. Another distinctive sound that Rental used was that of the EDP Wasp Synthesizer, which he introduced to Chris Carter of Throbbing Gristle and William Bennett of Whitehouse.
He also made an acclaimed album with Thomas Leer called The Bridge which was released on Throbbing Gristle's Industrial Records. The album reached number 9 on the Independent Chart in 1980.
His other two official releases were the 1980 single "Double Heart/On Location", released on Daniel Miller's Mute Records, and Live At The West Runton Pavilion, recorded with Miller in 1979, and released via Rough Trade in 1980.
Robert Rental died of lung cancer in 2000.

Boots For Dancing - 1980 - The Rain Song 7'' (UK)
.
Boots for Dancing were a post-punk band from Edinburgh, Scotland, active between 1979 and 1982, and featuring several musicians from other notable bands.
The band was formed in late 1979 by Dave Carson (vocals), Graham High (guitar), Dougie Barrie (bass), and Stuart Wright (drums). Showing influences from the likes of Gang of Four and The Pop Group, they signed to the Pop Aural label for their eponymous debut single, receiving airplay from John Peel. In the next two years, the band had more line-up changes than releases, first with ex-Shake and Rezillos drummer Angel Paterson replacing Wright, to be replaced himself by Jamo Stewart and Dickie Fusco. Former Thursdays guitarist Mike Barclay then replaced High, who joined Delta 5. The band also added ex-Shake/Rezillos guitarist Jo Callis for second single "Rain Song", issued in March 1981. Callis then left to join The Human League, with no further line-up changes before third single "Ooh Bop Sh'Bam" was released in early 1982. Barrie then departed, his replacement being ex-Flowers/Shake/Rezillos bassist Simon Templar (b. Bloomfield), and ex-Josef K drummer Ronnie Torrance replaced the departing Fusco and Stewart (the latter forming The Syndicate). The band split up later in 1982.
Between line-up changes, the band recorded two sessions for John Peel's BBC radio show, in 1980 and 1981.
