track 026


ceramic hello - sampling the blast furnace

everyone needs to write the vinyl-on-demand label, and thank them for their excellent re-issue treatment. without V-O-D, i'd be having to shell out way too much $$$ to track down the originals...

track 025

last time i asked around, it is still up in the air whether or not this is FINALLY going to be given proper treatment and re-issued on vinyl. as of current, this is still one of my favorite cassette-only releases.

from the 11 track tape, 'space museum' :


solid space - a darkness in my soul

track 012


usted del fuego - usted


usted del fuego = fuego, the same folks that do 'misa criolia (we are the children.'

unfortunately, this must be a radio edit version of 'usted' because it clocks in at only 3:45. there is a version that is 6:21 !! here: http://www.discogs.com/release/575070

track 007

from discogs.com -> 'Shock! is Robert Perena, L.A. Richards, Carole, Barbie, Tik & Tok.
Dance troup from the early 80's that recorded a couple of records then notably had two members Tik and Tok split off and form their own robotic/unique performance art duo. . .'

there is a mysterious re-edit of this track that will be floating around very, very soon in a limited edition pressing. no one knows the partners involved. . .


shock! - angel face



oh, how i would like to get my grubby collector paws on this!

track 004

this is the original version of 'black skin blue eyed boys' done in 1969 by a group called the equals. eddy grant was in this group. map of africa would later cover it in 2005, thus bringing (probably) the biggest craze since the 'italo revival'. . . .


the equals - black skin blue eyed boys

track 003

from a comment on discogs.com---
"a classic representative of what's known in Spain as Sonido de Valencia. As its name states, it was music produced and played mostly in the Valencia zone (where at the time existed one of the biggest and wildest party scenes the world has ever known) and taking influences from EBM, new beat, synthpop, rave hardcore and all the electronic music being produced then, but adding their own flavor which usually meant epic and fast synth string melodies, altough some of them sound dated and somewhat cheesy now. These EPs, most of them released through Megabeat Records and Invisible Records, are highly sought after and regarded as true classics and collector items by many people in Spain."
