Been listening to some great stuff lately, very inspiring:
Tribal Drift demo Nice trance/dub/ethno, underground & lo fi of course, found it on excellent
Woodman's Axe blog. Check out more stuff there.

Burmese - Men These guys stole all my ideas :D. All that i wanted to do with
Flowersore is here. Low rumbling bass attack, fucking murderous raging distorted vocals, early
Swans dirge + primitive doom drones + some faster uncontrolled noisy explosions... anyways - beautiful, sludgey, deep, violent, with an etherial touch of
Whitehouse. Yes, they even did their interpretations of
Whitehouse stuff on "
White". Also recommendable. I listened some other stuff by
Burmese but this one is just perfect. Great new band. Hope they don't become
Converge, because their haircuts are coming awfully close to that stage. Just kidding. I love fucking around with
Converge, because they suck. This is pure violence, and i LOVE IT.
Zygote - A Wind Of Knives Y'all know it, post
Amebix.
Blind Idiot God - s/tInstrumentals raging from hard stormy onslaughts to dub, nice
SST obscurity. Blasting off from Stravinsky, raging through he Shifting Sand and Wide Open Spaces and ending in DUB, hell of a ride. Don't let the Lovecraftian name fool you, this is just some guys jammin and rockin, doin' what they like, pure way.
Doom Snake Cult - Love Sorrow DoomGoatlord singer here, LSD obssessed old school freaky death/doom, fun as hell. From the first moments of '
Carnival Freak Show', you know you're in for a real trashy (not THRASHY) old school treat! I love
Goatlord's "
Reflections Of Solstice", some crazy drugged kids with primitive riffs, dumb electric drum kit which makes things even more surreal, and soooooo evil vocals spewing out some deadly psychadelic ideas (listen to
'Acid Orgy', god, it makes me so happy; it's so stupid and malignant, the way old school death should be!). Anyway, this is in the same vein, minus electric drums. I realized that '
Frozen Doll Land' is what i always wanted to hear in death metal, sooo psychadelic daddy-o!
The Denver Gentlemen - Introducing... Some demented purple violet dream tango from these Denver freaks, some members would later bloom into such christian martyrs as
16 HP,
Slim Cessna's Auto Club and all that jazz. This is some strange and, in my opinion, very dark listen. Still can't realize what's really going on here. Maybe i have a problem.
Dino Valente - s/tHippie freak poet, ex singer of
Quicksilver Messenger Service. This is his solo album, pathetic, acoustic, psychedelic, so naive and so pure, and somehow irritating, but i love that subtle pretentiousness in his confessions... and his singing - hahahahahahahahhaah! Total circus, chimes, floating chords, somewhat dissonant at moments, pure magic, i tell you. Guaranted for some great twisted summer fun, light up that joint and call the girls for some laid back retro orgy and put this record on! Then fall asleep under the Nuit's grasp and let the morning come... easy.
Dino says his wisdom directly to your face baby:
".. you can't stay there girl
those cats are square babe
they don't even know you're something brand new.."
:)
Ruth White - Flowers Of EvilCreepy satanic 1969. revelation, spoken word with some primitive electro creepy shit background. It's Baudelaire's poems as you might guess. It sounds threatening. Bleak. '
The Litanies of Satan' in 3 am is so rewarding. Warbling flanging chorusy voice effects there are sooo groovy! Again it's pure and naive in it's essence, at least that's the way i see it. So, light up that joint and call the girls for some satanic retro orgy and put this in your winamp. Remember to channel the unholy energies of '69 summer of hate, get in touch with your Beast, and everything will be fine in the morning.
