VACUM - Rädd För Tystnaden 1980

I'm today in a fine mood so I must post this really AWESOME!!!! Killer album by a band from Sundsvall. After two great '77 style EP's they recorded their first record which was released on Massproduktionen. This album contains sixteen songs, a few tracks are a little bit wave influenced but the most are brilliant KBD tunes and this is what makes this band/album so fuckin' special. They create a terrific deal with these small burr and I can only recommend this album. A little short bio (stolen from their MySpace page): "The first rehearsal with Cathrine Fandén was on the 14th of January 1979 and it worked at once. Then they convinced Stephans neighbour Lars Holma to join on bass and on the 23rd of March they had their first concert under the name of Smudge. On the next gig all the covers were gone and the band changed name to Vacum. On the 12th of August the band went to Gävle and during a few hours recorded and mixed six songs for their own EP and also the track Svartvitt for The Sundsvall Punk EP. Soon after that Cathrine moved to London to be au pair but Stephan and Mats did not give up and instead convinced another childhood friend Anders Olsson to join in on bass and also found drummer Sank Sankqvist who just got kicked out of Pizzoar. The first album was recorded in spring 1980 and during the recording they discovered that Cathrine also could play the piano, and had real talent for it, so soon after the release of the first album a synth was bought and Vacum had found its form. Most of the material was based on ideas of Cathrine that all the others contributed too. The first album opened a lot of doors and the band started touring a lot and the second album was recorded in MNWs studio in Vaxholm." Vacum became the most long-lived early punk bands - So enough words - the band calls for your Attention!

GOGOL 1ER ET LA HORDE - Vite Avant La Saisie 12'' 1983

Gogol Premier Et La Horde, scandal combo from France with their debut 12'' and here seven songs of pure energy. A bit info about the band: "Popularized by an artist's performance in the defunct show Les Enfants du Rock, where they appeared wearing cassock and whip, the Vite Avant La Saisie (Hurry Before Entering) was the first great success of the French punk scene. Wild and explosive, this first installment in a long series pogoter made a part of the youth in the 80's, on titles such as "Adolf, My Love", "It's Really Crazy Disco". Despite their advanced age, the album retains all the freshness of its beginnings and has become a "Masterpiece" of French punk. The six tracks on this 12'' (a standard for underground albums of the time) have not aged a day and always prove pleasurable to listen, especially for all the nostalgic who remember fondly have scratched their first guitar chords trying to reproduce the songs on the album." (Benjamin D'Alguerre) - So if you like their punk sound grap their Ce Que Je Veux Faire Quand Je Serai Grand 7'' with two more tunes.

V/A - People Of The Pit 1987

One more treasure of Mr.Sweden's collection and this compilation was released by a small Italian label called Goddam Church Records and its their first output and we move to excellent hardore music, ten bands with rare and exclusive partially goodies to date and from rare 7Inches and this aggressive mix is a perfect picking of songs/bands which I not known, for example Corruptend Morals or Stige, the rest I have somewhere on my hard drive. I must confess hardcore is not always my thing, but I love this kind of music and this record is outstanding - Genau mein Fall, Antesten!

V/A - Underground Hits 1 1982

Und da wir schon bei Samplern sind ist das Teil hier absolute Pflicht!! Die dritte compilation auf AGR Records ist eine zweigeteilte Scheibe, Side A mit deutschen Bands und ich kann wohl behaupten vier der besten hierzulande mit vielen exklusiven Stücken, Arseholes und Chaos Z sind der Hammer, während Side 2 ausschließlich Ami-Bands serviert. Leider liegt meiner Kopie kein Insert bei, GRRR... obwohl ich die in den 80zigern gekauft habe. Scheiß Spiel. Egal, die Scheibe gehört für mich zu den Klassikern und man kann über den Macher von AGR denken was man will, die Platten die er rausgehauen hat sind alle durchweg fantastisch. - First part of Underground Hits on AGR, brilliant song selection, first-class record, if you see this, a must buy! Volume 2 is a bit weaker in my opinion but has exclusive tracks from Spux and Canal Terror, get it!

KJØTT - s/t 12'' 1980

Weekend, YEAH! Soon soccer comes but it's a litte time until then so let's visit the north of Europe: Oslo! The bands music style is punk rock and the lyrics where in norwegian and that's Kjøtt, a short lived band which existed from 1979-1981 and the absolute innovation, which meant that time to sing snotty texts in Norwegian, make the five during the short time of their existence to one of the top punk bands from Norway. Singer Helge Gaarde sounds hysterical, the music is rough, melodic and pretty cool. Kjøtt change with screeching tires the tempo and a small infatuation with two-tone shades. I added one from the 'Hue Uten Sanser EP' and three cuts from the 'Op. LP'. So enjoy this classic pearl from the vikings and say hurray!!!!

DER SCHWARZE KANAL - Der Endgültige Abschluß Des Erdgasröhrengeschäfts! 1988

Der Schwarze Kanal was a nice combo from Hamburg, active in the 80's and was named after the East German "Propaganda" television program with Karl-Eduard von Schnitzler. The band released only one album (one of the first releases of L'Age d'Or), which is now almost impossible to get and was dissolved under dubious circumstances. Recorded & mixed March to September 1988. I bought the record in Hamburg when I did my community service that time. The label L'Age d'Or writes: "The band, who always had bad luck and only after resolution of the renown that would have actually earned during their lifetime, but this is it, US-brachialguitar meets European songwriter tradition." Nine pretty cool songs for everybody and a rougher version of 'In The Park' can be found on the rare Vorwärts tape compilation from 1987.
