Drowning Pool Aphonia (1989)
Taken from LA's / Orange County's original Drowning Pool's 1989 instrumental album Aphonia. Drowning Pool played numerous venues in the Southern California area opening up for the likes of bands like the Cocteau Twins, The Fall, and even Skinny Puppy. They played along side other bands like Savage Republic, The Abecedarians, Psi-Com, Homeland, Red Temple Spirits. More info on this band can be found on Facebook and Myspace under Drowning Pool 1984 (the year they formed).
Outtakes from Aphonia would later appear on the 1990 Drowning Pool project release Mumbles - Two Clouds CD on Italy's Viva Records. According to Adam Elesh: "Din is the Celtic god of war and I was making commentary on this aspect of human behaviour".
Adam Elesh and Brett Smith have a new CD out under the new project called KinderCrowdControl and also features Brett Smith (Drowning Pool) on bass. The CD is now out and limited to 1,000 numbered copies

DAVID SYLVIAN - Krishna Blue
David Sylvian’s late solo career
(Every Colour You Are, Krishna Blue, The Good Son, The Banality of Evil, Snow White In Appalachia)
In 1991, a decade after their breakup, David Sylvian found a more complete closure with his ex-Japan bandmates when they decided to convene in the studio under a new guise, Rain Tree Crow. The group’s sole album suggests the direction Japan could have gone had they continued on together, with earthy instrumentals and gauzy balladry like “Every Colour You Are.” Sylvian and his brother Jansen also continue to play together in Nine Horses, their trio with German producer Burnt Friedman who helped bring a neo-soul energy to “The Banality of Evil” and their sole full-length, 2005’s Snow Borne Sorrow.
Sylvian has released a lot of material over the past two decades, but it has arrived sporadically and with a seeming intent to move away from traditional songwriting. This impulse began simply enough with Dead Bees on a Cake, an album reflective of the push and pull between his spiritual and earthly desires. “Krishna Blue,” for example, expresses this musically with Indian percussion and acoustic guitar representing Sylvian’s dual interests. The breathy spoken-word interlude from his then-wife singer Ingrid Chavez further complicates matters.
On 2003’s Blemish, one of the first releases on his own Samadhisound label, Sylvian sets himself completely free. That album, a musical excoriation of his mental state following the end of his marriage, includes tracks like “The Good Son” that put his own dark croon against the improvised guitar of Derek Bailey. Six years later, on Manafon, Sylvian’s lyrics and music would become even more abstract. After his collaborators (including British jazz titans Evan Parker and John Tilbury, as well as turntablist Otomo Yoshihide) improvised, he took their recordings and quickly wrote and recorded lyrics to them, winding up with abstract wonders like “Snow White In Appalachia,” a song about a woman breaking free from a bad domestic situation set to a creaking, droning tune.
Manafon would be one of the last times Sylvian would commit his voice to a piece of music. The work he has done since has explored buzzing blasts of ambient sound, minimalist compositions utilizing shortwave radio samples and crinkling electronic noise, and various flavors of dissonance and resonance. Even as his work has taken on a more idiosyncratic, mystical tone, his creative mind remains agile and curious and brilliant as ever.
DAVID SYLVIAN - Red Guitar
David Sylvian’s early solo career
(Forbidden Colours, Red Guitar, River Man, Orpheus, Brightness Falls)
David Sylvian’s solo career got off to an auspicious start with the help of former Yellow Magic Orchestra member Ryuichi Sakamoto. Sakamoto had written the musical theme for Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, a World War II film in which he starred opposite David Bowie, and he needed vocals and lyrics for it. What Sakamoto and Sylvian created together was an instant classic, with Sylvian playing beautifully off of Sakamoto’s Satie-inspired melody with lyrics of spiritual and romantic yearning.
The track solidified Sylvian’s position in the world of British pop music. From that same MOJO interview, he said, “It opened a door. I thought, ‘OK, I’m ready,’ and I started writing Brilliant Trees.” As he began composing that solo album, he hewed closer to a pop aesthetic, beginning with “Red Guitar,” an upbeat tune featuring Sakamoto on piano.
ut as the first chapter of his solo career continued, he balanced out his more easily accessible work with experimental compositions. Sometimes that dichotomy was as blatant as with his second full-length Gone To Earth, a double LP that put slow-moving, rapturous pop songs like “River Man” on one disc and a set of ambient instrumentals on the second. Sylvian combined the two elements on follow-up Secrets of the Beehive where even the sea shanty-like “Orpheus” is cut through with droning strings and graceful synth tones.
Throughout the ’80s Sylvian cultivated creative relationships with a flock of other forward-thinking artists, including former Can bassist Holger Czukay, Be-Bop Deluxe leader Bill Nelson, and jazz musicians Kenny Wheeler and David Torn. King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp even asked Sylvian to join his band. When that offer was rejected, they instead collaborated on The First Day, an album of loud, funk-infused rock that includes the Hendrix-inspired “Brightness Falls.”
JAPAN - Adolescent Sex
Japan formed in the early ’70s when David Sylvian, his brother Steve Jansen, and three friends, all besotted by pop and glam, gathered whatever instruments they could afford and learned to write songs by copying their favorite T. Rex, Lou Reed, and Motown tunes.
The sound that the band developed feels startling compared to where it began. Japan’s first two albums, Adolescent Sex and Obscure Alternatives (both released in 1978), were, by and large, outliers within the group’s discography. The quintet were still attempting to reach the creative – and hopefully commercial – heights of Be-Bop Deluxe and Roxy Music. The title track to Adolescent Sex is deliciously snotty disco rock leavened by keyboardist Richard Barbieri’s glassy synth tones, and the group slashes through, of all things, a cover of “Don’t Rain On My Parade,” a song written for the musical Funny Girl, with sharpened claws.

Frank Zappa album Zappa In New York -The Black Page Drum Solo/Black Page #1 (Deluxe Bonus Version/Live)
Esta composição surgiu registada no álbum Zappa in New York, gravado ao vivo em 1976, mas veio a transformar-se depois numa nova versão. Nesta, o ritmo permanecia o mesmo mas sobre ele nascia uma nova melodia, com uso extensivo de cromatismos que lhe imprimiam uma complexidade de um nível comparável àquela que se encontrava nos padrões rítmicos. O próprio Zappa acabou por criar depois uma outra versão da obra em que suavizava algumas arestas rítmicas e colocava a melodia sobre uma batida rock, procurando assim chegar a um público mais alargado e deixando para sempre em aberto a questão sobre o género em que a obra se enquadra (questão essa que se coloca, aliás, em grande parte da obra do compositor norte-americano). É esta versão que dá origem ao arranjo para sopros de Jean-Michel Bossini, onde fagote e trompa assumem o papel de sustentação rítmica e harmónica e a melodia é entregue à flauta, oboé e clarinete, quase sempre em uníssono ou à oitava.

Missing Persons / Spring Session M CD (2021 Remastered & Expanded Edition)
Voltar ao catálogo
Detalhes do produto
Formed in 1980 by the core trio of Dale and Terry Bozzio along with Warren Cuccurullo, Missing Persons perfectly fit into the New Wave movement. With her quirky singing style and colorful homemade attire put together from various forms of plastic, along with anything else that captured her interest, Dale Bozzio created a unique image that was both ear and eye candy. Husband Terry brought powerhouse drumming to their sound that was impressive and astounding, and added immediate credibility. Warren brought a rocking guitar sound that could either provide a melodic accompaniment or blistering solo, all with a distinctive sound that was very much his own.
Missing Persons’ first release was a 7” 4-track EP that quickly became a west coast hit with the immediate high energy of Mental Hopscotch, a song which the band mimed to in the 1981 movie Lunch Wagon. This was enough to catch the attention of Capitol Records who signed Missing Persons and re-released a slightly modified 12” version of the EP in 1982. Replacing the quirky cover of The Doors’ track Hello, I Love You with a new composition called Words, Dale Bozzio could regularly be seen reciting the lyrics “Do you hear me? Do you care…” in the music video on MTV, which was put into heavy rotation.
Released in late 1982, the full length debut album Spring Session M (an anagram for the band’s name) became an instant hit, eventually achieving Gold status. Now including additional members Patrick O’Hearn and Chuck Wild on bass and keyboards, the music video for the hit single Destination Unknown was put into heavy rotation on MTV and video shows around the country. Two additional chart singles, Windows and Walking In L.A., were also released.
Rubellan Remasters is proud to reissue the full catalog of the original Missing Persons, starting with Spring Session M. Dynamically remastered from original master tapes from the Universal Music tape archive, Spring Session M not only includes the original 12 album tracks, but has been expanded to include the additional songs from the debut EP. As an added bonus, a previously unreleased 1983 mix of the 1980 archive song Action Reaction has been included to round out the 16 tracks.

SPK – One World
Moving away from the industrial noise they were originally associated with, SPK became a highly melodic electronic duo for their album ‘Machine Age Voodoo’. Still retaining subtle elements of the industrial sound, SPK music was danceable yet delicate, melodic and at times ethereal. With a backing track provided by future film composer Graeme Revell and vocals provided by Sinan, ‘Machine Age Voodoo’ became a classic at a time when New Wave was transitioning into a more danceable Alternative Rock. Officially licensed from Warner Music Group and dynamically mastered from original master tapes, the album has never sounded better. This brand new edition also contains 6 bonus tracks never previously released on CD, including the original 1983 recording of ‘Metal Dance’, the track ‘Thin Ice’, which was previously unavailable in the U.S., and several rare remixes and extended versions.
Visage - Night Train
Visage / The Anvil
CD available 1/17/2020
After their initial success with the hit single Fade To Grey and the self-titled debut album, Visage returned in 1982 with another groundbreaking and innovative album, The Anvil. Including the UK top 20 singles The Damned Don't Cry and Night Train, The Anvil soared into the UK top 10 album chart, firmly establishing the New Romantic super group as bonafide hit makers. With sophisticated dance beats and haunting melodies, masterminded primarily by Ultravox front man Midge Ure and delivered by the inimitable Steve Strange, Visage had their legacy guaranteed. This brand new 2020 edition CD reissue of The Anvil has been newly remastered from original master tapes and boasts 7 bonus tracks including B sides, rare dance mixes, and a previously unreleased remix, along with an 8-page booklet including extensive sleeve notes.
Danielle Dax - Whistling For His Love (Dance Edit) Track 19 from 'Dark A...
CD available 2/22/19
Mixing a Gothic vibe with experimental sounds and a remarkably versatile voice, Danielle Dax left a lasting mark on Classic Alternative music. Her expression was highly visual as well, as depicted on her record sleeves, music videos and in photographs. Musically, there were no boundaries. Her voice could waver up to beautiful highs or down to menacing lows as she strummed a guitar over a dark dance tune or plucked a banjo over a quirky country-tinged number. Her lyrics could tackle the hypocrisy of religion with the catchy dance beat of Big Hollow Man or address a cheating partner with the bouncy toe-tapper Touch Piggy’s Eyes. She could conjure a Glam rocker on the single Cat-House or show an Eastern influence on the experimental Sleep Has No Property. Originally released in 1988, this 30th anniversary edition of the compilation Dark Adapted Eye represents the always captivating Danielle Dax from 1985-1988. In addition to the original 12 album tracks, this newly remastered edition includes additional B sides and remixes, some making their debut CD appearance.

Coil — Tainted Love
Coil, “Tainted Love” (1985)
Originally released by Gloria Jones, 1964
Gloria Jones’ cult Northern Soul single “Tainted Love” has lived many lives since its original release, and even appears on this here list twice in radically different forms. Four years after Soft Cell made the song into a New Wave smash, Coil’s John Balance and Peter Christopherson rearranged it into a stark, painful dirge, interpreted as such to reflect the tragedy of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, complete with an artfully dark video at that. All the fun is sapped from the song and in its place anguish and mourning. But though it might not be obvious at first glance, Coil’s version is connected to Soft Cell’s: In the Museum of Modern Art-exhibited video, Marc Almond makes an ominous cameo as a kind of leather-jacketed angel of death. – Jeff Terich

successor to THE FALL?
The Fall’s lineup changed constantly throughout its four decade lifespan but Mark E. Smith remained an unwavering fixture until his death in 2018. By all accounts an uncompromising and dedicated creative, Smith’s emotional distance from his bandmates and interminable suspicion surrounding anyone involved in the music industry turned the band into a beacon of misanthropy that was attractive to society’s outsiders and underdogs. His caustic lyrics exposed the id of an auto-didactic working man in Thatcher’s Britain – a sixteen year old who worked on Salford docks and took evening classes in A-level literature. Smith will always remain a hard act to follow, but below are just some of the band’s who feel like spiritual successors…

The 50 Greatest UK Indie Records Of All Time
From the fringes of the mainstream come 50 records of romance and revolt.
INSPIRED BY PUNK, angered by Thatcher and in love with ’60s culture, the UK indie scene produced some of the greatest (and oddest) pop records of all time. It all began on December 28, 1976 at Indigo Studios on Gartside Street in Manchester. The Buzzcocks had just recorded and mixed four songs destined for the Spiral Scratch EP. A month later the EP would be released on the band’s own New Hormones label, in the process spawning a scene of musicians, songwriters and labels hell-bent on doing it for themselves. Forged in the political turmoil of the late ’70s and early ’80s, labels such as Postcard, Creation, Factory, Zoo and Rough Trade emerged as maverick flag-bearers of a new eclectic indie aesthetic. The DIY revolution had begun and British pop would never be the same again.
From Aztec Camera to Arctic Monkeys, Felt to Franz Ferdinand, Swell Maps to The Smiths, here are MOJO’s 50 essential albums, EPs and singles of homegrown genius.

Urban Verbs
Urban Verbs (1980)
First of two excellent new wave LPs from Urban Verbs. Razor-sharp guitars, a tightly wound rhythm section, and the sneering yet emotionally sincere vocals of band mastermind Roddy Frantz (Talking Head Chris Frantz's brother) -- all while synths burble, oscillate, and squeal. Dive into the frenzy!
Simple Minds - Naked Eye (Remastered 2002)
Simple Minds
Real to Real Cacophony (1979)
Before they landed on the sparkling, widescreen arena synthpop for which they're known best, Simple Minds created this inventive piece of nervous, experimental post-punk/new wave that many (especially readers of nerdy music blogs) would probably consider their best record.

Fairport Convention Time Will Show The Wiser
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 1949 - Judy Dyble
English singer-songwriter Judy Dyble. She was a founding member of Fairport Convention and Trader Horne. In addition, she and multi-instrumental Ian McDonald joined and recorded several tracks with Giles, Giles and Fripp, who later became King Crimson. During Fairport's early live shows in London in the late 1960s Dyble shared stages with acts such as Jimi Hendrix, and Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd. Famously, she sat on the front of the stage at the Speakeasy Club knitting, while Hendrix and Fairport Convention guitarist Richard Thompson jammed. She died on 12 July 2020 age 71.
HULA - Poison (Club Mix) - 1986
The Sheffield based band Hula was founded in 1981.

DAVID FIRST -Heaven Circus
The New York composer, the multi-instrumentalist's most recent project – David First The Western Enisphere's The Consummation Of Right And Wrong – is a two and a half hour long album of drone music, released via Important. “The album is a reconciliation of opposites, a culmination”, First explains. “It resolves a lot of things I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I love writing melody, and there’s a lot of melodic writing in there, even if the melodies are over a 12 minute piece and the notes are all 20 seconds long, there’s still a melodic contour going on.”
Here, First collates tracks from many of his previous solo and collaborative releases dating back to 1976, as well as a selection of pieces from The Consummation Of Right And Wrong and a recent self-released single featuring Mazz Swift and Dashon Burton

For against - Shine (Echelons)
For Against is one of America's most enduring and endeared independent musical ensembles, founded in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1984. The origins of For Against date back to a series of line-up changes in local Lincoln bands in the early 1980s. In 1983 guitarist Harry Dingman (formerly of Cartoon Pupils), and drummer Greg Hill formed a quartet called Glue with Liz Panarelli (bass) and John Fynbu (vocals, formerly of Hymn to Joy). Jeffrey Runnings (also from Hymn to Joy), joined the quartet on keyboards, and the group subsequently changed their name to D.B.L. Runnings had previously moved back to Lincoln from Athens, Georgia, where he had toured playing keyboards with ex-Lincoln resident Matthew Sweet. D.B.L. eventually became known as Four Against One.

Luca Yupanqui - V4.3 pt. 2 (Official Music Video)
The first-ever album recorded by an unborn baby to be released.
Popular culture seems to be getting more and more juvenile these days. Mozart may have only been five-years-old when he composed his first piece, but the pompadour prodigy creating a stir in the concert halls of Vienna is not quite the same as ‘Baby Shark’ breaking the charts. Not to hark on and sound like a curmudgeonly old fuddy-duddy, but when the as-yet-unborn are producing records, it is perhaps a warning sign that the dumbing-down has gone too far.
Luca Yupanqui’s debut album ‘Sounds Of The Unborn’ was perceived and recorded by the infant multi-instrumentalist while she was still firmly in her mother’s womb, taking the ‘gifted child’ notion to previously unthought-of new levels.
Yupanqui is the child of musicians Elizabeth Hart, bassist from the experimental psychedelia band Psychic Ills, and Iván Diaz Mathé. The couple formed the band Tierra Del Fuego recently and now the then-sub-infant daughter has a release of her own too.
The album was recorded using biosonic MIDI technology, which converts the baby’s in utero movements into sound waves. The technology was strapped to Hart’s stomach, transcribing the vibrations therein into Mathé’s synthesiser.
It is music in its very rawest form and now the happy and healthy little daughter gets to listen to the tune of her own metal days.
Sounds of The Unborn, which turns out to be the most literal punk-rock-sounding title, is set for release on April 2 via Sacred Bones Records.
