under midnight - "cybernetic remixes" (1992 wonderland)
















this should have been called "cybernetic remix" instead of "cybernetic remixes" because all you get is one remix.
that's right, ONE.  the album version of babylon usa as well as its remix appear on the A side, and both are good tracks, but again, only one is new here.

side B should come with a WARNING.
it seems to have been constructed solely for fans of reading the last page of a book first, or those who frequent moviepooper.com as it adds a mix of snippets from the rest of the tracks from the album.

still. hard to find and the one remix is cool, so here it is.

rebro - "no one gets out of this trip "alive"" (1997)




review from Blatant Propaganda:

Rebro"No One Gets Out of this Trip Alive"
Lots of transient ambient sounds flicker in and out, occasional trip-hop and other beats, acoustic 'world music' percussion, acoustic and bass guitars. Mostly, these are sound-track kind of pieces. Soundtracks to anything you like I s'pose - your daily adventures? A professionally composed and produced album, by far the most polished set of music I've received on cassette for this issue.

The album (which is available on CD) is dedicated to Frank Zappa, Jello Biafra & Jim Morrison, though the music is all instrumental & unlike any that they have produced - to my knowledge. You can download sound samples from the below web-address.

Po box 160746 Miami FL 33116-0746 USA.

Slava Compilation (voice of the people) 1992 blonde vinyl records)









by request, again...originally upped several years ago (6 or7) this groundbreaking comp...well, i noticed an extra copy sitting around and having seen a recent request to re-up...again i ripped and am posting.
okay, so most of this sounds incredibly dated today...but that's a bad thing ...why?...   groundbreaking it was at the time and it's still quite enjoyable.  a rare treat (yet somehow i ended up with a few copies, go figure) whatever, a treat...provided you're in the right frame of mind...like all genres and all music ever, i suppose.

a hymn for her - "beautiful death" (2003 alOne productions)


01. weeping for what is not
02. the passing of the spirit
03. suffer in silence
04. my heart belongs to the dead
05. of the last ever seen
06. passage from life
07. black flames from hope do arise
08. miles of vermin beyond the skin
09. the healing properties of death
10. reunited in death
11. the lesson learned too late
12. the passing ever
13. and all god's angels are writhing

Monastery - "Plena Sunt Celestia" (1999 self)

kind of in the same musical territory as fata morgana/mortiis(era1).
its that keys & synths sort of neo-medieval ambient stuff.
i've been enjoying alot of this stuff lately...
maybe its time to finally get back to a hymn for her.

situation taboo - "digitalis" (1997 flying tart records)



[click to enlarge]

old review from ballistic test zine (which i don't necessarily agree with, but here you go):
"Things start off really well with this CD - nice artwork, 12 songs listed. Unfortunately, a closer look at the titles reveals that I've heard three of these songs on previous releases. I pop it into the CD player where more bad news awaits me - it's only 33 minutes long. Let's not judge a book by its cover, though. The opener, "Fear" is a couple minutes of very cool, very dark, ambient material. From track 2 to 11, things fall into a more typical-sounding SitTab vibe. A great writer once described them as "like the Beastie Boys in outer space". Their songs range from laid-back electro-funk to hardcore industrial-rap. The final song, "Step", adds a nice twist with some interesting piano work. Unfortunately, there are only six real songs on this CD; the other six pieces being instrumental fillers. With the exception of "Fear", each consist mostly of looped percussion and/or synths accompanied by a load of samples. And while these are cool enough, I really would've preferred more new songs. If you're a Situation Taboo fan, get this. If you've never heard them before, but want to, this is a good overview. Otherwise, the low quantity of real material here is quite a strong knock against this.
