Immortal - Blind Birds LP


Sole album of this wave band from Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Got this one already a year ago from someone who didn't want it anymore (thanks!). Doesn't show up for sale that often.
Maybe a little late for the trend but nice wave songs with the obvious influences.

NOTE: as you've already noticed, I didn't do some posts for a while. The reason is that my girlfriend and I bought a house recently and the last weeks we moved everything and made it somewhat suitable to live in. The house needs a lot of renovation. So expect my posts to be quite irregular. Also my record collection is stashed away so that makes it harder to search and find a record to rip and post. Hope you understand. Till later.

Blind Birds LP (Stichting Art Music-08-024510-20-1988)
1. Scouts
2. Two Sides
3. Leaders
4. The Acorn
5. The Night
6. Blind Birds

Word Verification

Sorry for my regular visitors, but I get too much spam comments lately so I installed word verification. Saves me the trouble to erase all the idiocy.

Cyan Revue - Arm LP


Last release for Tobias Gruben with Cyan Revue. Third album after 'The Gift' mini-album and 'Four Wounds' LP. See my previous post for more info as well as Fritz Die Spinne's blog.
The first song is a bit hard to digest but the other songs are in the same vein as their previous releases. Think this is the hardest-to-find record of the band. My copy is a testpressing. A pretty short album too.

Arm LP (Yellow Ltd.-EFA 15008-08-1987)
1. I Give The Gun
2. Burdend
3. The Impossible
4. Ships
5. Gravesand
6. Sundown
7. The Stranger
8. Frozen Fields

Holy Cow - Call It What You Will LP


Goth, tribal, industrial? Call it what you will as this is the 1st album of Holy Cow. Released on their own Head Chunk label in 1986.
'Noises' reminds me of Bauhaus. The last two tracks are more experimental sounds. Had to rip it as one track as it was impossible to seperate.
So if you liked their 2nd album posted here before, check this one out as well.

Call It What You Will LP (Head Chunk-LP30/60-01-1986)
1. Ichorous Pus
2. Noises
3. Field Of Things
4. Black & White
5. Work
6. Lady Cadava
7. MKC MWBD
8. This Always Happens (Segue-Pépéi)

Non Ext - The Night/The Trees 7"


Nice little record of this pretty unknown band. Non Ext were from Maastricht, a Dutch city near the Belgian border. It seems that they joined the Flanders Rock Concours as they are mentioned on the thank list.
Don't think Non Ext had a budget to make this 7" as it sounds a bit underproduced and the sleeve looks very cheap. Nonetheless an interesting band. The first song is the winner here.
No release date mentioned but I guess the early 80's.

Persian Flowers - s/t 7"


Second release on Fourth Dimension Records, a label that is still active these days.

Here's the description from their site:
The one and only release of this Wasted Youth/Only Ones-tainted psychedelic group from mid-1984.
So if you're into 80's guitar postpunk with a psychedelic edge then check it out.
I know that Michael of the Return To The East blog is interested in this one. Check out Michael and Miguel's blog as they post some very interesting and obscure stuff.
Fourth Dimension Records was intially set up by Third Mind owner Gary Levermore, together with people from the Grim Humour fanzine, but after this release he was no longer involved.

Persian Flowers 7" (Fourth Dimension-FDS02-1984)
1. Someone Else's Sin
2. Summer Of Love

Basta Roc - Monument 7"


Punky postpunk from Basta Roc. Don't know anything about this band. There's some confusion on the origins of Basta Roc. It seems that this 7" was released in Sweden (according to the discogs submission but my copy doesn't show any relevant info) but I guess the band came from the UK. They also appear on the 'Out Of The Unknown' comp. LP and 'The Wycombe Compilation' comp. album (with the track 'Billy Bones'). So I expect Basta Roc to be a Wycombe band.
Any extra info appreciated.
