I was pretty fortunate with this full length show in that everything that I wanted to share from it was available, with the exception of two things:
1) © - Dream One [K. Moon.E & Flipper mix] K.Moon.E is Kevin Mooney, former bassist with Adam & the Ants.
2) 13 year old, Tom Ravenscroft’s apparently pitch perfect impression of PJ Harvey. His father was so impressed by it that he wanted to record it and play it on this programme, only for Tom to make himself scarce every time he tried to get it down on tape.
There were two tracks that fell from favour on my original list of selections:
Trumans Water - Limbs - The Spasm Smashers etc are always an acquired taste, though up to now I’ve generally given them the benefit of the doubt. Limbs has elements in it which led me to think about including it, but it’s one of those tracks where, for too much of it, the dissonant elements conspire to drive the listener away, and the dynamics of the final minute couldn’t quite claw the deficit back.
Spine Wrench - Fleshstorm - I can only conclude that I felt that as there are very few tracks out of the 900+ on this blog that showcase the demonic growling vocals of say, Raw Noise or Disemboweled Corpse, that there was clearly an opening available for the Norwich industrial rockers, Spine Wrench, especially given that Fleshstorm told a bit of a story. But when I listened to it again, as part of a split LP they shared with Sin called No Rest For the Wicked, I was almost rendered unconscious by the sheer tedium of the whole enterprise.
