Their songs are of lost beauty, regret and sorrow, inspiration and nobility, and of the everlasting human goal of attaining a meaningful existence.<br /><br />Over the course of their career, Dead Can Dance has featured a multitude of members, but two musicians have remained at the core of the band -- guitarist <span style="font-style:italic">Brendan Perry</span> and vocalist <span style="font-style:italic">Lisa Gerrard</span>. Perry had previously been the lead vocalist and bassist for the Australian-based punk band <span style="font-style:italic">the Scavengers</span>, a group who were never able to land a recording contract. In 1980, Perry left the group and began experimenting with electronic music, particularly tape loops and rhythms. In 1981, Perry formed Dead Can Dance with Lisa Gerrard, <span style="font-style:italic">Paul Erikson</span>, and <span style="font-style:italic">Simon Monroe</span>. By 1982, Perry and Gerrard decided to relocate to London; Erikson and Monroe decided to stay in Australia.

Drummer <span style="font-style:italic">Ashley Bates</span>, bassist <span style="font-style:italic">Jon Curtis</span>, guitarist <span style="font-style:italic">Simon Rowe</span>, and vocalists/guitarists <span style="font-style:italic">Stephen Patman</span> and <span style="font-style:italic">Andrew Sherriff</span> allegedly called themselves <span style="font-style:italic">Incest</span> early on but made a smart decision to change the name. Long before they laid down their first demos, they rehearsed and honed their live show. One 1988 gig, performed in their home base of Reading, won a supporter in <span style="font-style:italic">Sonic Boom</span>. <span style="font-style:italic">The Spacemen 3</span> member wanted to release the band's music on his <span style="font-style:italic">Bop-a-Sonic</span> label, but that never materialized. Instead, the band signed with <span style="font-style:italic">BMG's Dedicated</span> subsidiary -- home of <span style="font-style:italic">Cranes, Global Communication,</span> and (ding ding) Spacemen 3 (if only for 1991's <span style="font-style:italic">Recurring</span>). By the end of 1990, the band replaced the exited Curtis with <span style="font-style:italic">Russell Barrett</span> and had a pair of four-song singles -- <span style="font-style:italic">Freefall</span> and <span style="font-style:italic">Sunburst</span> -- released and reviewed with mostly favorable results. A third single, early 1991's Pearl, gained them even more attention, featuring an oft-used <span style="font-style:italic">John Bonham</span> sample and background vocals from <span style="font-style:italic">Slowdive's Rachel Goswell</span>. This set the stage for the full-length debut <span style="font-style:italic">Whirlpool</span>, also released in 1991. While it didn't capitalize on the band's building popularity quite as hoped (the rise of grunge made sure the group didn't have more than a small, if rabid, cult following stateside), they were able to stir up a couple low-charting singles and a sizeable fan base in England. After the <span style="font-style:italic">Mesmerise</span> single closed out 1991, the band went silent for over a year before reappearing with 1993's <span style="font-style:italic">Blood Music. "She's a Vision"</span> and <span style="font-style:italic">"We Are the Beautiful"</span> were successive, successful singles; the album from which they came otherwise sunk. It was accompanied by a slew of remixes, many of which came from Global Communication. (Initial copies of Blood Music -- meaning most of the copies that are floating around, since it wasn't a blockbuster -- came with a bonus disc of nothing but remixes.) The band was then laid to rest, anthologized in 1996 by the handy double-disc <span style="font-style:italic">Rownderbout</span> compilation. Sherriff continued to work with electronic music with the Bio.com and Bionic projects; Barrett later became part of Inner Sleeve; Rowe joined former Slowdive members in <span style="font-style:italic">Mojave 3</span>; Bates went trip-hop for 4AD's <span style="font-style:italic">Cuba</span> (aka <span style="font-style:italic">Air Cuba</span>). <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold">EP's INCLUDED:</span><br /><span style="font-style:italic"><ins>Falling Down</ins> - 1990 - Freefall [E.P.]<br /><ins>Need (Somebody)</ins> - 1990 - Freefall [E.P.]<br /><ins>Inside of Me</ins> - 1990 - Freefall [E.P.]<br /><ins>Sixteen Years</ins> - 1990 - Freefall [E.P.]<br /><br /><ins>Something More</ins> - 1990 - Sunburst [E.P.]<br /><ins>Satin Safe</ins> - 1990 - Sunburst [E.P.]<br /><ins>Rain</ins> - 1990 - Sunburst [E.P.]<br /><ins>Feel The Same</ins> - 1990 - Sunburst [E.P.]<br /><br /><ins>Mesmerise</ins> - 1991 - Mesmerise [E.P.]<br /><ins>Precious One</ins> - 1991 - Mesmerise [E.P.]<br /><ins>Summer Chill</ins> - 1991 - Mesmerise [E.P.]<br /><ins>Then We'll Rise</ins> - 1991 - Mesmerise [E.P.]<br /><br /><ins>Pearl</ins> - 1991 - Pearl [E.P.]<br /><ins>Come Heaven</ins> - 1991 - Pearl [E.P.]<br /><ins>In My Arms</ins> - 1991 - Pearl [E.P.]<br /><ins>Pearl (edit)</ins> - 1991 - Pearl [E.P.]</span><br /><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/124820443/CHAPTERHOUSE_-_An_EP_Collection_-_1990-1991.rar"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v694/unclespellbinder/Blog/Blogger/download_button.png"></a><br />192 .mp3 (cbr)<div><p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/EarfulOfNoize" rel="alternate"><img alt="" style="vertical-align:middle;border:0" src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/EarfulOfNoize" rel="alternate">Subscribe in a reader</a></p></div><div><br/><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?a=Tnoh7I"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?i=Tnoh7I" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?a=hcMCJI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?i=hcMCJI" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?a=5Mst9i"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?i=5Mst9i" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?a=eNKvcI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?i=eNKvcI" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?a=idIcAi"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?i=idIcAi" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?a=SuEWRI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?i=SuEWRI" border="0"></a><br/></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382368525952853777.post-22788857519159462832008-06-24T08:36:00.000-07:002011-05-18T15:48:00.136-07:00THE AUTEURS - EP Collection - 1992-1999<a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_EmJpZnR56-w/SGDqYFOtrbI/AAAAAAAABGs/6QnPeYlKX28/s1600-h/THE+AUTEURS.jpg"><img style="display:block;margin:0px auto 10px;text-align:center" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_EmJpZnR56-w/SGDqYFOtrbI/AAAAAAAABGs/6QnPeYlKX28/s320/THE+AUTEURS.jpg" border="0" alt=""></a>From AMG: When <span style="font-weight:bold">the Auteurs</span> released their debut album in 1993, the British press linked them with the massively popular <span style="font-style:italic">Suede</span> as part of a "glam revival." While the band can blast out guitar-drenched rockers like Suede, the Auteurs come to life when they draw from the quiet side of such distinctively English guitar pop bands like the <span style="font-style:italic">Kinks</span>, <span style="font-style:italic">the Smiths</span>, and <span style="font-style:italic">George Harrison. Luke Haines</span>, the group's guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter, writes highly melodic pop songs that combine the airy melodies of Harrison with the cutting social observations of <span style="font-style:italic">Davies</span>; they're sharp, intelligent songs, full of humor and gorgeous melancholy, even when they're loud rockers. With their two albums, <span style="font-style:italic">New Wave</span> and <span style="font-style:italic">Now I'm a Cowboy</span>, they've earned a devoted cult in the U.K. without gathering much support in the United States. By the time the group released the <span style="font-style:italic">Steve Albini</span>-produced <span style="font-style:italic">After Murder Park</span> in early 1996, they had even lost most of their cult audience in the U.K.; accordingly, the album was a stiff, even on the indie charts. Before its release, Haines had dropped hints in interviews that the record may be the Auteurs' last.

Yeah, I'm biased, as I've loved this band for nearly 20 years. Now it's your turn... <br/><br/>From AMG: They had obvious influences (most notably the <span style="font-style:italic">Birthday Party</span> and <span style="font-style:italic">Fun House-era Stooges</span>), but the <span style="font-weight:bold">Laughing Hyenas</span> were a fierce, sulfuric blast of fresh noise that galvanized the Michigan punk scene with this 1987 debut. <span style="font-style:italic">Merry-Go-Round</span> is a brawling, bloodied lip of a record, delivering twice the cathartic buzz that vocalist <span style="font-style:italic">John Brannon's</span> former group, <span style="font-style:italic">Negative Approach</span> could muster, and even then at half the speed. The Laughing Hyenas perfected their attack over the course of the next two releases, reaching a climax with the brutal masterpiece <span style="font-style:italic">Life of Crime</span>, but Merry-Go-Round sets the template with deceptively simple voodoo blues and a rhythmic complexity that's rarely acknowledged. <span style="font-style:italic">Kevin Strickland's</span> sinister bass riffs are in lock-step with <span style="font-style:italic">Jim Kimball's</span> tribal thud, and together they form <ins>one of rock's great rhythm sections</ins>, laying the framework for <span style="font-style:italic">Larissa Strickland's</span> jagged, strangled guitar and Brannon's raging, throat-ripping bellow. The Laughing Hyenas dealt primarily with pain, both sonically and lyrically, examining the pain of love, lust, guilt, and death. Even if Brannon wasn't yet at his lyrical peak (much of the imagery seems drawn from gangster movies), he was already penning some striking lines, particularly the introductory confession that he's "been a sinner all my life/But that you already know," aiming to "stain the walls with love." Other numbers find him repeating stanzas from previous songs or just filling space, but the lyrics to <span style="font-style:italic">"Hell's Kitchen"</span> are priceless rock & roll-scat nonsense at its best ("Popeye the sailor man/He lives in my frying pan/I turn up the gas/Burn off his ass/Popeye the sailor man"). "<span style="font-style:italic">Gabriel"</span> is the centerpiece, a dark celestial vision distinguished by a funereal trumpet hook that most successfully conjures the spirits the Hyenas were after. The compact disc release of the original EP comes augmented with some nice extras, most notably <span style="font-style:italic">"Soul Kiss,"</span> previously available only on the cassette version of Merry-Go-Round. Also welcome is the frenzied, aggressive <span style="font-style:italic">"Candy,"</span> from the B-side of the <span style="font-style:italic">"Here We Go Again"</span> single. Recorded live in Germany, <span style="font-style:italic">"Dedications to the One I Love"</span> is proof of the hypnotic intensity the Hyenas were capable of in person, plus Brannon's confused, deadpan banter with the audience ("I can't even think") gives a taste of the damaged charisma they radiated on-stage. The remaining tracks date from the waning days of the original lineup, recorded with guitarist <span style="font-style:italic">P.W. Long</span> (who was soon to poach the rhythm section for <span style="font-style:italic">Mule</span>); <span style="font-style:italic">"Don't Bouge My High"</span> is funnier than probably intended, and the band's contribution to a 1992 <span style="font-style:italic">Alice Cooper</span> tribute single for <span style="font-style:italic">Sub Pop ("Public Animal #9")</span>, is a game try from genuine fans, but will only sound good to someone who can't compare it to the prototype.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight:bold">TRACK LIST:</span><br/><span style="font-style:italic">Stain<br/>Hell's Kitchen<br/>That Girl<br/>Gabriel<br/>Playground<br/>What Tomorrow Brings<br/>Soul Kiss<br/>Candy<br/>Dedications To The One I Love<br/>Don't Bouge My High<br/>Public Animal #9</span><br/><br/><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/123634511/LAUGHING_HYENAS_-_Merry-Go-Round_-_1987.rar"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v694/unclespellbinder/Blog/Blogger/download_button.png"></a><br/>320 .mp3 (vbr)<div><p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/EarfulOfNoize" rel="alternate"><img alt="" style="vertical-align:middle;border:0" src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/EarfulOfNoize" rel="alternate">Subscribe in a reader</a></p></div><div><br/><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?a=SNWZjI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?i=SNWZjI" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?a=4U3K3I"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?i=4U3K3I" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?a=LZl70i"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?i=LZl70i" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?a=SEXhpI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?i=SEXhpI" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?a=nGU4Bi"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?i=nGU4Bi" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?a=0berQI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/EarfulOfNoize?i=0berQI" border="0"></a><br/></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382368525952853777.post-57104762310700159432008-05-29T12:36:00.000-07:002011-05-18T15:48:00.136-07:008 Ball Salad 1 [Full CD, 2008 Remaster] - 1988<a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_EmJpZnR56-w/SD7cZVdOxgI/AAAAAAAABGM/p5eiW8jhrzg/s1600-h/8BallSalad1.png"><img style="display:block;margin:0px auto 10px;text-align:center" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_EmJpZnR56-w/SD7cZVdOxgI/AAAAAAAABGM/p5eiW8jhrzg/s320/8BallSalad1.png" border="0" alt=""></a>May, 2008 - Digitally transferred from the original 1988 Maxell XL-IIS chrome tape by <span style="font-style:italic">Feck</span>.
