Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name5.0 classicCromagnon Orgasm(Here's a proposed review I wrote, Sputnik couldn't handle how excellent it was) rThe '60s at it's most bleeding form.rTerror and madness running rampant. As one attempts to distance oneself in a wall of highly intense exploration of unearthing what better the universe could offer.rNot the least bit kind or inviting, no other way out.rAllowing you to drift in your most primitive state. Without caution or fear, all ready to take on the world.rBeautiful death and destruction within the realm of grasping it's best nature. rA raw isolation mangling a corpse.rShattering terror, each fragment a divine beauty cycling the senses.Jacula Tardo Pede In Magiam VersusLit candles, chilled night, Jacula's 'Tardo Pede In Magiam Versus' settling a grim sway by the touch of the little flames , enough to make a thousand lifetimes fulfilled.Misfits 12 Hits From HellSort of like 'Walk Among Us', only without the safe production, needless pandering to the "hardcore" crowd, and Bobby Steele is on one of the guitars. Os Mutantes Os MutantesOn another side in a far off dimension past a paisley breeze with what could be considered faint Brazilian touches. The Residents The Third Reich 'n RollWitness The Residents pretty much take a sledge hammer to all your beloved '60s classics.4.5 superbAvengers AvengersTrack 7 onward (going by the current track listing of the 1989 release) is pure bliss. The gloriously shoddy production quality as Penelope Houston's majestic yelp of freedom and youth is so charmingly coated in a layer of warmth. Greg Ingraham's guitar licks help add a personality, while maintaining raw energy. Barely at all restrained in following the usual "punk" pattern when it comes to delivering most songs, both the guitar work and just the music as a whole. What drags it down, for me, would be how some tracks can stray a little in a generic "punk" sound. Most of the first 6 tracks I can find a little cringe-inducing. Go to Penelope Houston's official website to get yourself a copy, they've been screwed over by various labels for far too long.Black Tambourine Black TambourineThe nightmare world of pop music. Drown in fire, with the distant call of a reserved female vocalist that sort of has a spark of '60s female flare bubbling underneath the terror.Francoise Hardy The Vogue YearsAn enriched bliss toiling sensitive touches at each layer of humanity.Misfits Static AgeRevenge of the '50s. With even more rot of the mind, body and soul all channeled through leading man's harrowing split-end nerves racketing distant loose bones on a heated soft evening chill. Pouncing, pulsating, ravaging remnants of humanity. Peeking behind peels of flesh grasping for a final breath. Carries you off a little.The Clash The ClashSuch comfort. Such sincere comfort. There is no nostalgia attachment, simply just the most purest joy and warmth when listening to a ragged voice backed by a bit of either shambling ellegance or soothing crashes. When done in a sincere way. I'm not the angry type. I don't bop around listening to this. This is like soft jazz to me. An act of expressive freedom falling around some edge under the light spell of a gentle evening. No stronger sanctuary. Ironically the very same stronghold can bring further bitterness and detachment for society. Not many people can be true to themselves, they can never simply be... Don't let the genre define the music, let the music define the genre.The Damned StrawberriesBaroque pop, britpop, Roman Jugg's swirling psychedelic "keyboard solos" all coming with that suave touch of underlying madness The Damned brings makes this my favorite album of theres. They may of gone full pop, but still far from being restrained. 4.0 excellentBroadcast Berberian Sound StudioDeteriorating isolation tearing deep into a journey of darkly multi-colored shadows pulling you down further and further into a richly versatile nightmarish dreamscape world.... check it out, man.Osees Floating CoffinSound of death rattling life. Guided through a tumbling forest shifting a frolicking graveyard call. Maintaining a loving glance throughout. 3.5 greatEtron Fou Leloublan BatelagesBuy it for the 18-minute opening beauty. A distraughtful warmth ready to fall to pieces at any second- LOVELY. Other 4 tracks are alright. The Damned Grave DisorderPleasant little goth pop psychedelia outing. At times they don't sound as fully into it as previous works, but any fan of post-'70s damned should not be disappointed. 3.0 goodThe Damned So, Who's Paranoid?Vibe of a laidback afternoon, drinking and jamming. With everyone seeming like they are a little more into it this time. Vanian's voice is possibly the best it's ever been. But then you've got such heavy half-hearted go-nowhere fillers.
