About album

A strange man, John Fahey, with an unusual set of guitar styles. This album, originally released on Riverboat Records and later reissued by Fahey's own Takoma label, has a lot of rough edges in terms of the recording but a tremendous amount of power when it comes to the music. Fahey was at the top of his game, alternately playful and dark, so there's never a dull moment. There is always something new to be heard on each playing.

Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden (1988)

ARTIST`````Talk Talk

ALBUM`````Spirit of Eden

GENRE`````Post Rock, Alternative, Long

YEAR````````1988

A true classic.

Review

Spirit of Eden is a 1988 album by the English band Talk Talk. It was written by Mark Hollis and Tim Friese-Greene, and performed by numerous musicians using a diverse combination of instruments. It is widely regarded as a masterpiece. In 2008, Alan McGee of the Guardian wrote: "Spirit of Eden has not dated; it's remarkable how contemporary it sounds, anticipating post-rock, The Verve and Radiohead. It's the sound of an artist being given the keys to the kingdom and returning with art."

Compare Spirit of Eden with any other previous release in the Talk Talk catalog, and it's almost impossible to believe it's the work of the same band -- exchanging electronics for live, organic sounds and rejecting structure in favor of mood and atmosphere, the album is an unprecedented breakthrough, a musical and emotional catharsis of immense power.

Here is a rather nice article on Wikipedia about the album.

The Mumps - Fatal Charm (1994)

ARTIST`````The Mumps

ALBUM`````Fatal Charm

GENRE`````Campy Glam New York Underground Punk / New Wave

YEAR````````1994

I ain't dead yet - I just had a little nap:)

Biography:

The Mumps were one of the most obscure, but distinctive, New York bands of the late '70s, performing an absurdly theatrical fusion of pop, punk, and glam rock. Led by vocalist Lance Loud, the group's music was an affectionate satire of '70s kitsch culture, predating the similar obsessions of the B-52's by a number of years. The Mumps rocked as hard as the New York Dolls, while writing clever pop hooks that updated trashy garage and bubblegum singles of the '70s. Although they never even earned a large underground following, the group was a favorite of many punk rockers of the era (including the Ramones, Blondie, the New York Dolls, X, Television, the Cramps, Devo, and the Go-Go's), as well as '80s alternative rockers like R.E.M., Game Theory, and Sparks.

Check their shitty website.

About the album/compilation:

Fatal Charm compiles essentially the complete recorded works of the quirky New York band, including the simply wonderful "Crocodile Tears," as well as some equally spirited outtakes and live rehearsals. Though very little of the Mumps' music was released during their five years together as a band, their live shows were legendary, influencing many of the next generation of new wave and alternative rockers; Fatal Charm helps explain why bands continue to namedrop them 20 years later.

A Bleeding Panda Compilation!

Why?

I've been meaning to finish this one ever since the HD Computer Music comp. This one is brimming with "stuck in 80's" funk-disco classics, a few mega icky childish pop tracks (Scritti Politti anyone?) and as always some lost or faded gems (Tarzan The Breakman, Ja Ready To Rock, Gettin' Loose). Also, the highlight here is most definitely one of the dopest disco-funk tracks of the 1980's: Tee's Happy (Tee Scott Club Mix), a gorgeous paradise of rhythm machinery and heart ripping guitar and synth work.

Amos And Sara - Invite To Endless Latino (1983 Cassette Rip on It's War Boys Label)

ARTIST`````Amos And Sara

ALBUM`````Invite To Endless Latino

GENRE`````Weird Lounge, Lo-Fi, Indie, Underground

YEAR````````1983

Words from texturemagazine

Wasted psychedelic-lounge by The Homosexuals’ bassist (Amos) and mysterious U.K. D.I.Y. phenomenon Sara (whose double-7” Sara Goes Pop is beyond amazing). This is seriously deranged material. Sara hollers out-of-tune drug-anthems above the repetitive drum machine as Amos (barely) slaps out some Latino jams in the haze of debauchery driven by the washed-out synth permeating their evening’s soundtrack. There is a lot of banging and a lot of phased vocals and even more weird “noise” occurring behind the scenes. No amount of purpose could yield such a bizarre concoction of popular noise. Invite To Endless Latino is the perfect cassette; homey, strange, beautiful, mysterious, quaint, soft, particular and simple. I dream of accidentally making music this singular. Easily one of my favorite possessions. Extremely rare and sought after.
