KANGRENA - Estoc De Pus 1984

First, good news: the Domestic Bliss 7'' is complete... well well!! Now music extreme by Kangrena from Barcelona. The quartet was formed in 1981 and consisted of Quoque (vocals), Kike (guitars), Johnny (bass), Manolo (drums), after releasing the legendary Terrorismo Sonoro EP and two cassettes recorded between 1983 and 1985, their activity was diluted in the second half of the 1980s. They were characterized not only by their love of noise and disorder on the musical level - already expressed in the title of their only album - but for the nihilistic mentality and destroy, which, in the middle of the decade, placed them a little on the margin of the hardcore scene of Barcelona, which generally tended to the anarcopunk activist and positive ideology. This is the re-release on B-Core Disc with twenty-two raw & blunt hardcore attacks.

DIE CONDITORS - s/t LP 1982

The Conditors was founded 1980 in Dortmund and first they initially texted in English, but soon switched to German. Peter Freiberg had already sung and played the drums with the folk rock band Cochise, the other band members had released the LP "Another Sunday Morning" (1979) with the band "Messalla". In 1982 their first LP was released, which offered solid Rock/New Wave with humorous German lyrics (New Wave in the direction of The Police, so influenced by reggae and punk). The music express wrote: “The Conditors please because of their, let's call it anarcho-touches. Sure, the boys haven't come up with any topics that can be attested to as having never been roasted on records. Nevertheless: Singer and lyricist Peter Freiberg has quite convincingly managed to make his points of view clear and personal!”. In 1982 and 1983 they went on a concert tour through Germany and Switzerland. Peter Jureit switched to rough cutting and was replaced by Philipp Imdahl. With the single "Aba Sia Maria" they had their first radio success. The Conditors soon became one of the more well-known bands from the Ruhr area, along with vulture dive. In 1984 they released their second LP Dankeschön Bitteschön and the WDR showed a 30-minute film about the Conditors: how to play upwards and the single "Kalt Wie Eis" often played on the radio. A hit followed with the single raspberry ice cream in hot tea, with which they appeared twice in the ZDF charts. In 1985 the group changed its name to Freiberg & The Conditors, in 1986 the third and last album "Pass Auf"was released. 1989 followed the compilation "Am Andren Ende Der Stadt 80-88". Peter Freiberg and Peter Jureit have been playing in the band The Buh since 2010. In honor of guitarist Uli Steinert, who died in 2010, several former band members gave a concert with the bands "Messalla" and "The Buh" on September 10, 2011 in Dortmund and only songs were played written by Steinert.

CODIGO NEUROTICO - Humillación, Tortura Y Muerte 1991

Back to roots with finest catch mid-tempo punk by Codigo Neurotico from Terrassa with their second vinyl on Illa Records with fourteen loud short eruptions and a year earlier they made a cute little live tape on Estopi Records which was recorded summer 1988 in Bellvitge/Barcelona called Sin Pelos En La Lengua, within the file (uncut). Their first EP is also worth the download and you can find more information in the web. In 1998 the band broke up. And now into the weekend...

AXODRY - Save Me 12'' 1986

A relic of my short electronic time in the early 80s is the following slab by Axodry, one of the well known names when it comes to electropop Made In Germany and were one of the main forces in the German electropop scene based at the legendary Westside label located in Frankfurt, mostly produced by famous mastermind Axel Henninger (Camouflage, Moskwa TV, De/Vision and more). They published six beautiful Maxi's in their lifespan and were a popular band in the relevant clubs at the time and I like to pull out one of their records every now and then, depending on the mood. Surrender was a classic and is still a top song. Certainly not everyone's taste but I like it.

MARGINAL MAN - Double Image 1985

Second vinyl from Marginal Man on Enigma/Gasatanka Records and they continue where Identity ends. Eleven powerful mid-tempo blasts with brilliant lyrics in thirty minutes (that is almost too short). A successful review for you: "Blazing, roaring, and not sparing women and children. A tremendous, exhausting punk/post-punk record for anyone who thinks they can stand it. Blessed with considerable finesse to match their monstrous chops, these guys were pure songwriters and heirs to the amazing D.C. scene. More importantly, Double Image remains a prime example of the fantastic second-phase D.C. punk scene, actually greatly superior to the more famous but too fast early-'80s Capital hardcore days." Source: All Music Guide (Jack Rabid) - Gladly on numerous compilations invited. A great record with fury energy!

V/A - Happy Birthday Hans-Joachim! 2013

Today a further special compilation which I made for my Pa on his seventieth birthday seven years ago. Thirty-five rare Rock'n'Roller are gathered here and I can tell you, it was not easy to meet his taste because he had an extensive collection of first class stuff with recordings that were not published anywhere, that he recorded from the radio or from other sources and I also wanted to find songs like that. I think, I come very close to this with this compilation and he was thrilled and we had a good time with the CD. So enjoy the sound of the early wild days and may you dance wherever you are!

SEPTIC DEATH - Gore Story 1992

An unofficial release by Lost and Found Records in 1992, 1000 copies pressed on four different colors (blue, red, yellow & green), with great recordings by my favourite Hardcore combo from Boise/Idaho Septic Death. Twenty-nine rare extreme killer for your deaf ears wait for you I advise you to screw loose things tight. Especially the first nine tracks from their last concert @ the Farm, San Francisco in June 1986 blow everything away, plus the rare rehearsals recordings as well. What more can I say?, I'm absolutely excited by this fantastic music. My recommendation: get the double LP Crossed Out Twice and burn your house down! And if someone has the EP from the Wanted List, please send it to me immediately - A fuckin' must!

IHMESPATZEN - Haste Musi, Haste Töne 1982

Last record for today with rare material from Lower Saxony with the Ihmespatzen from Hanover and they played a healthy mix of New Wave/Punk and were never an NDW band. Their first sign of life was this mini album on Spargel Schallplatten (500 copies) with eight catchy numbers. In the same year they released a live tape, which was recorded on 4th August 1982 in the Raschplace Pavillion/Hanover, as Die Ihmespatzen Verspilen Sich in a limited edition. In 1982 followed the second album "Zu Gast Bei" on No Fun Records, of which 2000 copies were pressed. The Ihmespatzen were: Enno (vocals), Ralph (guitars), Detlef (bass), Wolfgang (keyboards), Immo (drums) and found on two tapes and a vinyl, Zu Gast Bei No Fun, compilation.

MAGIC DE SPELL - Kiss The Mirror 1984

Second album by Athens Magic De Spell on Music-Box and they transitioning from their early new wave/post punk influences to more synth-oriented sound. Let me quote some info from the re-release on Geheimnis Records in 2016: the album was released by the same label that had released their first album A Body In A Snare. Their association with a stable record company gave them the confidence to develop and aim for higher standards in music composition. From the end of 1982 until the time "Kiss The Mirror" was released in early 1984, they were performing on a regular basis. Their busy live schedule, in addition to the hours that they had spent the previous year (1982) in the studio recording their debut album, had boosted their self-confidence and molded them into a tight and efficient musical unit. To crown it all, at the end of 1983 they entered Mastersound Studios and with the help of Chris Manolitsis as their sound-engineer, they recorded their second and, for many music journalists, most complete, mature and intimate album of their career. Elias Aslanoglou sounded more confident than ever before. George Scarlatos displayed his skill at playing some very innovative bass lines. Theodore Vlahakis held down the rhythm-section with some impressive percussion, while Thanassis Scarlatos and Yannis Rodites (who joined the band by mid 1983) created some simple but impeccable melodies on synthesizers, piano and keyboards. I added three songs from their third LP so that fourteen unusual synths will delight your eavesdroppers.
