According to the inlay card of this cassette, YOUR BRAIN ON DRUGS is Pete Solo. The cover of this cassette says it consists of six tracks, although there seem to be many, many more - opening with "March To The Beat (Of A Madman)" sharp spiky... See full review

Somewhere between the RE-CONSTRICTION school of what we tend to call Hardcore Industrial (although they prefer tags like Torture Tech) and the post-Thrash excesses of the likes of GODFLESH and SCORN lies the place where SPLEEN have chosen to stake... See full review

Remember the adage "Power Corrupts - Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely" - more than an element of truth? And from past experience - we know our politicians to be utterly corrupt, and yet we still vote for them still have faith in them, expect them to... See full review

This group were well-known in the Nuneaton area (which itself is relatively unknown) for a short duration. Japan were still making records and it was obvious that Side Effect were heavily influenced by them. From this I'd guess the year of this tape... See full review

For this album OG-O-GO manage to combine a more Trad Jazz background with Avant Garde-influences such as VARESE, STOCKHAUSEN and the Neo Classical tendency to portray a far less than pastoral world. A whole heap of other stylistic influences are... See full review

Those of you familiar with :ZOVIET FRANCE: will probably want to complete your collection with this assemblage of previously-released compilation tracks, while for those of you who are interested in the group, but don't really know where to start,... See full review

When I were a lad we were allowed to put our books down, file into whatever passed as a television room, and witness history in the making. Watching telly at school? Call that education? Maybe not. After all, I'm not so old as to have seen Armstrong... See full review

This review was for a "Sample tape from PVSS".

A while since I have heard anything from these & while the sound has grown no less intense and cacophonic, they now lean away from pure blasting noise into the area of audio montage peopled by such... See full review

At frst this seems to be a thin & skeletal album, but soon you begini to appreciate the sparse sound contains a depth and complexity cunningly disguised by the mix. It probably owes as much to Hip Hop than it doesto any other type of music, often... See full review

I'm not that familiar with CHRISTIAN DEATH but know that ROZZ & his words are regarded by most to be genius. This, his spoken word album uses images so intensely black & pointedly death- related that I can only assume he's also in possession of a... See full review

'Side Active' is credited with 5 tracks, but only seems to have four, so I'll have to guess which is missing. It opens think with "Sidewinder", a fast, tight piece of Punk-influenced music which could be described as sped-up Grunge. One of the most... See full review

This is a rather nicely packaged tape - the box it comes in also doubles as a cover for a small booklet. The whole thing was bound by what I assumed was wire, but now think must be solder! An unusual concept - not expensive glossy stuff, but showning... See full review

Another eleven track feast from the home of E.B.M. - WHAT'S are a four piece band comprising of MARTIN CHEVALIER, JACQUES FANTINO, HENRY MANINI & CHRISTOPHE VLOEBERGHS, the former two of whom have done a lot of work on soundtracks. H.M. has studied... See full review

I've listened to this tape many times now & still cannot pin them down to a common denominator, except perhaps an overall leaning towards basic simplistic rhythms, which are later complicated into a variety of very-different-sounding tracks. I'll try... See full review
