RIDE - Waves [Radio 1 Sessions 1990-1994]

Saw RIDE recently and bought this disc at the merch table instead of a $30-40 T-Shirt. I had actually not heard these recordings until now, and they sound markedly different from the studio versions (not necessarily better or worse), so if you like RIDE, this is worth getting. They even do covers of Pale Saints and Dead Can Dance songs, which is pretty unexpected.

For vinyl freaks, there is a 2xLP edition of Nowhere coming soon with the tracks from the Fall and Today Forever EPs.

Checked out for awhile so I'm late on this. Big Ride fan here,. I would love to have this. Might have to make this happen soon.

Totalitar - Ni Maste Bort! CD

w2ISDmtl.jpg

Swedish hardcore punk from the 90s, though this band dates back to the mid-80s. I guess some people feel this is their best album, but it's tough for me to agree because I like pretty much everything by them and the band just kept getting better and better as time went on IMHO. Often thrown in with the whole d-beat thing, but this record doesn't have too many Discharge-y riffs.
Instead it sounds a lot like the more extreme end of early 80s North American hardcore, but beefed up considerably. A few tracks have a mid-tempo-ish feel reminiscent of older straightforward punk rock. Of course the vocals are unintelligible screaming/yelling.

Love this !! This is the type of punk that always appealed to me the most .
I'm also digging that NoMeansNo . Two great bands I've never heard .

Last night...


Tears for Fears - Sowing the Seeds of Love LP (Fontana) 1989



^One of my guilty pleasure late 80s records landed last night. I remember I had the tape in High School and I wore it out. After High School I basically put it into the back of my memory vaults where it remained until a few years ago when I passed it online. Nostalgia took over and I put it in my online cart, but someone else was quicker. I kept on having bad luck with finding it and buying it until I got the good old "Out of Stock - Restocked Notification" last week and acted immediately.



^The wait was rewarded with a NM copy of a gold promo stamped radio station copy which includes the label's original press release papers.

I know the music is a bit dated sounding, but really it's a sophisticated album from those guys, very deep and introspective, romantic without getting overly sappy. After all these years of not hearing it and then finally hearing it front to back again last night on vinyl, it was a very cool thing.

Excursion: I don't know if you have heard DJ-P and Z-trip's Uneasy Listening, but when they blended that D-Styles untitled beat off of Sqratch Fetishes Of The Third Kind with Tears For Fears "Woman in Chains" that took that song and from an 8 and turned it into a solid 9.

Oh nice! I found it! Good ol' Youtube...

@rchecka, very nice. That's one of the TFF albums I don't have (love their first two albums). I'll have to get it on some format eventually.

Adorable - Fake CD



Early 90s group on Creation Records, hardly known in the U.S. at all and underrated in general. Vaguely associated with the whole shoegazing thing, though these guys were more firmly rooted in anthemic/moody 80s UK guitar pop/rock than anything else.

This is their second and final album, and probably my favorite of the two. It's more stripped down and rocking, but kind of disjointed since the production and style of the first half and the second half don't really match up...I think the first five songs on the album are pretty much the best things the band ever wrote.

Both the CD and the vinyl of this are kind of a pain to find. The label and band were at odds when this came out IIRC and it wasn't that well distributed. Worth tracking down though.
