KILLL - Live at Øya 2006

DigiMetal. Extreme something meets extreme other thing. Organized chaos. Norwegian. Fuzz and crazy space effects. Just words. Listen to the sounds. I didnt cut it into pieces since its kinda hard to know when and where, also, its best to listen to the whole monster(ca 38min) in one.

All the guys are known from other bands and projects, Martin Horntveth from Jaga Jazzist, Are Mokkelbost from Single Unit, Erlend Mokkelbost from J.R. Ewing and Espen T. Hangård from Noplacetohide.

Maiden Voyage: A Wide Selection Of Grooves From Norway '66 - '76

This is truly a wide selection, the best and the weirdest from the Norwegian rock and jazz scene between 1966 - 76. Lots of great tracks and some not so good, most of it are from long out of print records and dusty archives. Its mostly jazzy fusion/rock/r'n'b stuff, a couple of covers and some film music, and a cool tape manipulation track from Arne Nordheim, who died not long ago. A review doesn't do this compilation justice, this is just something you have to listen to yourself. This compilation was released in 2002. Two others followed, and I might put them up later.

My favorite tracks are Misty Canyon, Wheels, Whine and Wail, Solar Plexus and of course Heaven and Hell, from the cult movie Himmel og Helvete, starring a young Lillebjørn Nilsen as a hash addict, a "true" drug horror story from 1969. Thats a surreal piece of Norwegian movie history worth hunting down. Hilarious propaganda. DUCK AND COVER!

Also worth mentioning are the great cover art by Tore Hansen, who usually write and illustrate childrens books.

Covenant - In Times Before The Light

More Norwegian black metal, but not nekro like Mayhem, this is a symphonic synth based classic by Covenant, or The Kovenant as they are known today. In Times Before The Light was released by a small label called Mordgrimm in 1995, and I think this was their only release. This is the original mix and straight from the original cd. Other version has also been released, a industrial circus version in 2002, with lots of new sounds and samples and a remastered version in 2007, with bonus tracks. I havent heard the latest one, so I cant comment on the sound. But the industrial circus version was a fun ride, and is worth checking out. Covenant released a couple of good albums after this on, but their latest was really bad and they are "working" on a follw-up, but dont get your hopes up, they have been "working" on that one for years, and I doubt we will hear it soon....

Mayhem - Pure Fucking Armaggedon

Warning: This recording is filthy and fucked up Norwegian black metal with über nekro sound and your ears may cry blood when listening to it.

Mayhem's first demo, Pure Fucking Armageddon, released in 1986. If you want this, you already know Mayhem and you don't need any introduction to them. If you don't know them, this is the wrong place to start, well, I'm not sure what the right one is, but you could try the legendary album De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas and read about them at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayhem_band.

The source for this rip is a cd bootleg made ca ten years ago.

Don't enjoy, suffer

Two Lectures By Nick Cave - The Secret Life Of The Love Song & The Flesh Made Word

The Secret Life of the Love Song is Nick Cave's personal guide to "what is" and "how to write" a love song. Originally written for the Vienna Poetry Festival 1998 and performed to great success at The Royal Festival Hall, London in 1999, this is a studio recording of that lecture. It includes five new recordings of the songs West Country Girl, People Ain't no Good, Sad Waters, Love Letter, and Far From Me. The Word Made Flesh is a spoken-word piece, re-recorded, originally written and performed for the BBC in 1996. There is a lot of references to god/jesus/the bible etc, although I'm no jesus-lover, far from it actually, I find it very interesting to hear what Nick Cave has to say about it and what his angle is. Hope you do to.

Martin Horntveth - Skull EP

Where to begin... Martin Horntveth is the drummer in Jaga Jazzist, and this is his solo project. Its pretty far from Jaga, but you can hear some influences in there somewhere. Its a bit hard to explain the music, its electronic cut up jazzy freak music. My advice is that you download, listen and judge yourself. This EP was released in 2003 and we are waiting for more. I also have his first solo EP, Fast Motion, I you want me to share it, give me some feedback in the comments.

Enjoy

Einstürzende Neubautens first concert!

30 years ago Einstürzende Neubauten was born, and they played their first concert at a club called Moon on the 1st of April 1980. The lineup was very different from what i would be later on, and the sound and songs are pretty different too. I like to listen to this once in a while and enjoy the diversity in Neubautens music, from this to that, and whatever they are doing right now. Gotta love them. So I hope you can appreciate this fuzzy, but historical important recording of this great German band. Lets hope they keep going at least 30 years more.
