War Of The Worlds (Dubstep Version)

This download is a dubstep version of the classic War Of The Worlds story. The mix was put together by erwtenpeller and can be streamed from soundcloud. I'm not a massive fan of dubstep but this is such a classic I thought I may as well post it up here for those people who missed it when it did the internet rounds.

Beards & Denim: Heavy Rock 68 to 79

This download is a selection of heavy rock from between 1968 & 1979. It was put together by The Loftmonkey in one of his more ‘rock’ moments and he's even included some notes & comments on each of the songs. There's some real classics on here as well as some lesser known songs so time to grow yourself a beard, get the denim on, stick your thumbs in your belt loops and start to rock.

DOWNLOAD THE BEARDS & DENIM COLLECTION

Here's the tracklisting (320kbps)...
01) Everything I Need - Tiger B. Smith (Germany 1972)
Power trio from Frankfurt heavy on riffs & hair but light on subtlety. Taken from their seminal debut produced by the legendary Dieter Dierks.
02) T.N.U.C. - Grand Funk Railroad (USA 1975)
Live offering from Detroit's finest. Unashamed crotch-thrusting, foot-on-the-monitors rock. For more on Grand Funk, consult your school library.
03) Ain't Gonna Take No More - Highway Robbery (USA 1972)
Obscure trio from their sole album. Nice wailing vocals.
04) Searching For A New Dimension - Mariani (USA 1970)
Even-more-obscure Texas power trio. From their 1970 unreleased acetate.
05) Hard Rain Fallin' - Sir Lord Baltimore (USA 1970)
Legendary New York trio rocking out. Taken from their debut album "Kingdom Come" famous for the fact that a 1971 review contained the first documented use of the term "heavy metal" to refer to a style of music.
06) Shot Down In Flames - AC/DC (Australia 1979)
From "Highway To Hell"...
07) Persecution - Third Power (USA 1968)
It seems that Detroit skipped psychedelia & went straight from garage rock to heavy rock (Stooges, MC5, Grand Funk etc.). In 1968 when most bands were folking themselves silly & putting flowers in things, bands like Third Power were turning their Marshalls up to 11 & rocking (as they say) out.
08) I'm A Man - The Yellow Payges (USA 1972)
LA heavy garage rock outfit with some wild psychedelic guitar shenanigans.
09) One Eyed Jacks With Moustaches - Slade (UK 1977)
The Black Country's finest rock out in the year of Punk. Kipper tie, Noddy?
10) Do It - Pink Fairies (UK 1971)
Debut release by freakrock/festival legends formed from the ashes of Mick Farren's Deviants.
11) White Lace & Strange - Thunder & Roses (USA 1968)
Philadelphia power trio from their sole album issued in 1968. This track was covered by Nirvana for a radio session in the late 1980's.
12) Brighton Rock - Queen (UK 1974)
Before they became awful, Queen could occasionally rock with the best of 'em as evidenced on this opening track to "Sheer Heart Attack". [Ernest's Note: This album was the first ever record I really wanted. Shame, as you say, they became shit.]
13) Summertime Blues - Blue Cheer (USA 1968)
The god-like genius of Blue Cheer's debut album "Vincebus Eruptum" should never be underplayed. Named after a brand of acid, the San Francisco trio's take on Eddie Cochrane's standard captures their style perfectly. Guitarist Leigh Stephens claimed in a 1980's interview that he hadn't actually taken acid... he was lying (as evidenced during the middle part of the song... “Snap out of it Leigh, ya trippin' fool!!!”).
14) It Couldn't Be Me - Power Of Zeus (USA 1970)
Back to Detroit again for a slice of heavy pysch from their sole release.
15) Angeline - Genesis [USA] (USA 1969)
One-off single release by US rockers Genesis who had nothing to do with Phil Collins (mercifully).
16) Bad Woman - Speed, Glue & Shinki (Japan 1972)
Thoroughly unhinged power trio from Japan who named themselves after their favourite drugs (apart from guitarist Shinki Chen who named himself after, um... himself). Taken from their self-titled second & final album.
17) Sweet Leaf - Black Sabbath (UK 1971)
How else to finish? All hail Black Sabbath. From their third album "Master Of Reality".

Sepultura - Best Of

Here's a best of collection from Brazilian rock gods, Sepultura. I hadn't listened to them for ages and then stuck this on and man, it's fucking great. The band was formed in 1994 and while basically being a metal band they're not just a straight-up metal band like Slayer (not that there's anything wrong with Slayer ;). The name is Portuguese for grave apparently... and how metal is that. Anyway this is a really good selection of tracks from them, including some of their more industrial / groove / nu metal tunes so if you like to rock then give this a listen.

Here's the tracklisting (320kbps)...

Here & Now - Fantasy Shift/Been & Gone

Here & Now are an English space rock band formed in early 1974. They have close connections with the band Gong and in 1977/1978 worked with Gong's Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth under the name Planet Gong. The lineup changes at the end of the 70s caused a slight shift in the bands approach to their songs, moving from their more improvisational style to a more structured approach. This show was a farewell performance by the band recorded at Dingwalls in Camden on the 31st January 1986.

Even if this was a farewell show they're still going strong today and you can give them a listen at their myspace page.

Ernest's Adventures In Space

I had a dream about Hawkwind the other night (nothing sexual you'll be glad to hear) so I decided to put together a new collection/mix of space rock. Most of the tracks are fairly recent but there's some older stuff as well (Monkey 3, Porcupine Tree). Most of the songs aren't straight up space rock but they have more of a stoner'ish feel, think bands like 35007. It's all pretty cosmic though so I hope you enjoy it. I've mixed the tracks together and it should fit onto a blank CD.

There's no download link this week but I will be playing a live drum & bass set tonight on drumstepuk.com.

SST Records - Blasting Concept Vol.II

SST Records were an American independent record label formed in 1978 in Long Beach, California by musician Greg Ginn. The company was initially called Solid State Transmitters through which Ginn sold electronics equipment. Ginn repurposed the company as a record label to release material by his band Black Flag. SST released many key albums that were instrumental in the development of American alternative rock, including releases by the Minutemen, Hüsker Dü, the Meat Puppets, Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. This is volume two of the two part series. I don't think this album is as good as volume one but it still has some excellent tracks on.

Harry Nilsson - The Point

I absolutely love this album so I'm gonna re-up it for you. I remember liking it as a kid and then when I was about eighteen some friends and I were at a jumble sale and there it was. It even had the original comic book with it (scans included with the download). Obviously my mate's took the piss out of me for getting so excited but after we dropped some acid and then listened to it they were converted. In fact, if it wasn't for LSD then the whole thing would never have existed. This is what Nilsson had to say about it...

"I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, 'Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's a point to it.'" [Harry Nilsson]

Basically The Point is a tale by musician and songwriter Harry Nilsson about a boy named Oblio, the only round-headed person in the Pointed Village, and his dog called Arrow. The story is told through both song and narration and is great listening for children as well as adults.

DOWNLOAD HARRY NILSSON - THE POINT

Here's the tracklisting (320kbps)...
01) Everything's Got 'Em
02) The Town (Narration)
03) Me And My Arrow

There is also scans of the comic book included :)

THE MOVIE
There was also an animated film version of The Point!. The TV version was originally narrated by Dustin Hoffman but because of contract issues the film release used Ringo Starr as the narrator. The version embedded below is with Dustin Hoffman and is available on video.google.com.

Blyth Power - A Little Touch Of Harry

UPDATE: I've re-ripped it from a different tape so the quality of this download is better. It's still from a 25 year old tape though :)

LATEST UPDATE: The Old Punk has given me some good news about this. Someone by the name of Paco has released a vinyl pressing of this classic. It's only £6 plus a bit for postage. It comes with a poster and a copy of the original booklet too. Get it here - La Vida Es En Mus.

A Little Touch Of Harry In The Night was the first release from Blyth Power. It was originally released on cassette in 1984 so the actual quality of the files is not exactly perfect.

Blyth Power are a British 'folk punk' band formed in 1983 by singer/drummer Joseph Porter, formerly of Zounds and The Mob.

Blyth Power's music shows strong influences from punk rock and folk music, and the band members have described their sound as a cross between The Clash, Steeleye Span and The Rubettes.

Hit Parade - Bad News / Plastic Culture EPs (Crass Records)

Here is a re-post of the Bad News and Plastic Culture EPs by Hit Parade. The downloads are in FLAC or 320kbps mp3 format so just grab whichever one you want.

Hit Parade was Dave Hyndman from Belfast, with occassional assistance by members of Crass on backing vocals but mostly it was Dave. The Bad News EP was released in 1983 on Crass Records and rather than guitars, bass and drums it uses drum boxes and samplers. There is also a second EP, Plastic Culture which was released in 1984 that contains extended versions of a couple of tracks. In fact Media Song is basically an extended version/remix of Bad News from the first EP.

[FLAC FORMAT] DOWNLOAD THE HIT PARADE COLLECTION
[MP3 FORMAT] DOWNLOAD THE HIT PARADE COLLECTION

(text from Southern Records)
This record exposes the tyranny of the British Government's attacks on Northern Ireland. Borrowing from Outta Control: Paper of the Belfast Anarchists, the record sleeve/poster details the atrocities of prisons in which "political criminals" are locked up for speaking out against the unjust, violent sectarian state which has long ignored outcries from its inhabitants. The sleeve/poster pictures those who died in peaceful demonstrations and hunger strikes, specifically, the "H Block" hunger strike. "Britains role in Northern Ireland, both on the streets and in legislative methods is clearly repressive and designed to keep in check a rebellious section of the population...which seeks to take control of and responsibility for its own future.

AS LONG AS POPULATIONS ARE UNABLE TO TAKE A UNITED STAND AGAINST ALL FORMS OF OPPRESSION, THEY WILL REMAIN SUBSERVIENT TO IT.

D&V - Inspiration LP & Nearest Door EP (Crass Records)

Here's a rip of both releases by D&V on Crass Records. D&V only consisted of Andy Leach on drums and Jef Antcliffe on vocals, hence the name D&V (Drums & Vocals). This download consists of The Nearest Door EP which was released in 1983 and the hugely titled album Inspiration Gave Them The Motivation To Move On Out Of Their Isolation which was released in 1985. I hadn't heard the album in about 20 years and I was pretty surprised at how much I enjoyed it when I ripped it. The backing tracks were arranged and played by Penny Rimbaud using samples built up from vocal and percussive sources and the vocals of Eve Libertine & Joy de Vivre. Frankly it's pretty experimental in places but considering it's basically drums & vocals they've done a really good job.

A special mention goes to The Saucer People for reminding me about D&V and to The Loftmonkey for sending me the vinyl (check out his ebay shop over to the right or just click here).

The downloads are in FLAC or 320kbps mp3 format so just grab whichever one you want.

DJ Embryo - A Political Message Mix

This is an anarcho punk mix I did recently. It only goes on for 45 minutes & as well as lots of the old classics there is some not really anarcho stuff as well. I decided to do this 'cos of a photo that made me laugh I saw over at the oldpunksneverdie.com site. I've also added 3 ebooks to the download (mobi & html/txt formats). The Conquest Of Bread by Petr Kropotkin, The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins & The Last Of The Hippies by Penny Rimbaud

Special mention should go to Cassetteboy for some of the speeches... and for inspiring me to do some of my own.

... and as an added bonus see if you can find the hidden message :)

DJ Embryo - Top 5 Mix Collection

Here's a selection of what I think are my best 5 jungle mixes. I didn't include the Planet Defender Mix, which is my most recent one, as it's still available in this blog so basically it's a best of my old stuff. All the files are split into tracks & are in 320kbps MP3 format. There's also the CD covers for each mix if you want to burn a copy. Anyway enough talk so download them, give 'em a listen & I hope you like them.



KING DUB MIX (APRIL 2012)
I actually did most of this mix using Audacity for the PC rather than the usual vinyl. Shout outs to DJ Blits for letting me remix his Come Into My Room tune and to Silicon Drum for the superb King Dub tune.
