Krautrock Collection

This download is a selection of krautrock and 'trancerock'... but to be honest I'm not entirely sure what genre this should be. Basically most of these tracks are long and repetitive, hopefully causing a euphoric trance-like state rather than inducing a stroke or coma ;) It goes on for just under 80 minutes so it will fit onto a CD.

Krautrock is a generic name for the experimental music scene that appeared in Germany in the late 1960s and gained popularity throughout the 1970s, especially in Britain. BBC DJ John Peel in particular is largely credited with spreading the reputation of krautrock outside of the German-speaking world. The book Krautrocksampler by Julian Cope describes the underground music scene in Germany from 1968 through the 1970s and is well worth a read if you like this stuff.

Get Your Lie Straight: A Galaxy Of Funk

This compilation anthologises some of the best grooves that Fantasy Record’s subsidiary Galaxy issued in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Galaxy naturally focused on the bluesy, earthier style of soul popular in that region, a sound exemplified by the local smash ‘Foxy Girls In Oakland’ by Rodger Collins. Other local acts on Galaxy were vocalist Lenny Williams, later to find fame with Tower Of Power, and blues singers JJ Malone and Tiny Powell, both of whose funky waxings for the label are represented here. Instrumental grooves from Merl Saunders and The Right Kind, and obscure nuggets from further notables like The Debonaires and Loleatta Holloway complete this compilation.

Gorilla Biscuits - 1987 Demo

Here is a download of a demo from 1987 by the hardcore punk band, Gorilla Biscuits. The band consist of Anthony "Civ" Civarelli, Walter Schreifels, Arthur Smilios, Alex Brown and Luke Abbey. Gorilla Biscuits is currently signed to Revelation Records. Apparently their name comes from the drug quaaludes, which people called "ape shit" or "gorilla biscuits" due to the pill's large size. Though the name was only meant to be temporary they have continued to use it.

NOTE:
This could well be my last upload for a little while. Certain things have happened recently which will take priority over the blog (My Mum isn't well and the company I work for are laying off 50% of the staff). Hopefully everything will turn out alright and I'll be back in the near future. Thanks for listening :)

Minor Threat - Demo's, Rehearsals & More

Here's a selection of demo's, rehearsals and alternate versions of tracks by Minor Threat. Included in the download is a rehearsal from 1981 done in the living room at their home, Dischord House. Apparently the original source was recorded on a Maxwell normal bias UR 90 cassette. There is also a copy of their first demo tape which was recorded in 1981 and then released in 2003. There is also an 'alternate mix' version of the Out Of Step album and finally I've also included another collection of demos that was released in 2001 as a split album with Youth Brigade (I've included the Youth Brigade tracks as well). Obviously some of the quality isn't great but you've already got the discography CD so I thought I'd post up some more obscure stuff.

Minor Threat were an American hardcore punk band, formed in 1980 in Washington, D.C.. The band split in 1983 & even though they were fairly short-lived they had a massive influence on the hardcore punk scene, both stylistically & in establishing a "do it yourself" ethic for music distribution & concert promotion. Their song "Straight Edge" became the eventual basis of the straight edge movement, while the band often professed their own "straight edge" ideals.

DJ Embryo - King Dub Mix

Here's a new jungle mix I did recently. It's got a couple of exclusive tracks on it so shout outs to Silicon Drum for the superb King Dub track and to my young protege DJ Blits for letting me remix his Come Into My Room track. I did this mix using vinyl and Audacity, a free audio editor. There's a few recent tunes included on the mix but mostly it's some old favourites. Mainly because I can't get hold of the vinyl so I had to download them. Unfortunately that does mean that some of the tracks aren't perfect quality (there's even a couple of youtube downloads) but nothing major. Anyway download it and enjoy.

Slayer - Undisputed Attitude

Undisputed Attitude is the seventh studio album by American thrash metal band Slayer. The album is mainly a collection of punk covers of bands like Minor Threat, T.S.O.L. & D.R.I.. Guitarist Jeff Hanneman used two of the four punk songs he had written in 1984 and 1985 as part of a side project called Pap Smear, while King and vocalist Tom Araya wrote an original song titled "Gemini". I've also included a few other cover songs that Slayer have done... and some of those are definitely worth hearing. In fact this is basically Slayer playing 'us-style' hardcore punk & it's fucking great ;)
