DEMANT/BAD JUSTICE-Live-Split Tape-(Bloody Murderer Tapes-Croatia-1997)

Live Split tape with two Croatian bands playing thrash/Hardcore punk with political lyrics.

It came with an A4 folded cover sleeve reporting the lyrics in Croatian and the English translations.

The overall recording quality is not too bad.
Bloody Murderer Tapes was a small tape label from Zagreb active in the mid-90s.
Enjoy it.

Lieselotte-Live/Pakita-M.S.1.-(Split Tape-Self Released-Switzerland-1998)

Split tape with two very different acts, on one side Lieselotte from Switzerland and on the other side Pakita from Spain.
There is not much info on the cover sleeve although from the few info I can guess a few things.

Lieselotte plays a fast and angry HC punk with political lyrics sung in French language, just 2 lyrics reported on the cover sleeve, it is a live recording of their gig held on 24/02/1998 in an antifascist festival in Neuchatel(Switzerland).

 Although recorded live the overall quality is pretty good, I imagine their live shows must be really powerful.

Pakita seems to be a one-woman project from Spain. She plays a rather violent form of noise industrial made with machines, echos, effects, feedbacks and filtered vocals,
this session was recorded in her "cave" in August 1998 and the recording is awesome.

Other than this info I am not sure if this tape was self-released and where it was released, I guess in Switzerland.

This is definitely a tape both for people into HC punk and Industrial Noise.
Enjoy it.

LUDICHRIST Live At The Right Track Inn-Long Island-NY-5th March 1986-(Bootleg Tape-Not On Label-Usa-1986)

This tape is not from my collection and the digital conversion is not mine.I have found this on FB and I asked permission to Mahler Maze who had this tape and converted into digital few days ago.
So  big thanx to him for donating to my blog this preciuos pearl,I am a big fan of this band and I am very happy to share this here.The poster is from the very same tour...yet another date.Here I gonna c+p the info that Mahler wrote:
"Just finished restoring & mastering this absolutely KILLER live tape by LUDICHRIST when they supported the Crumbsuckers in March 1986. The source tape was 1st generation (From the bassists brother) & this is a different gig than the one that's on the F.O.A.D. reissue & different than the bootleg that's on some blogs out there. 17 tracks of raging ultra fast metallic HC in 35 minutes" 
To complete this post I am gonna attach here a great video-gig showing Ludichrist during those old days.They were just amazing.
Enjoy it.

Missing Foundation is Industrial Noise outfit from NYC. Their logo shows a martini-cocktail glass turned upside down meaning "the party's over!".

Walking around in major European cities in the late 80's/early 90's you would find this all over the place.(from their discogs page) and here a webpage where you`ll find more info and biography.

EX CATHEDRA/MACHINEGUN ETIQUETTE-[Split Tape]Live at AZ Bazille Kassel-12.05.96(Zebra Core-Germany-1996)

"Ex-Cathedra are an anarcho punk band from Glasgow, Scotland. They got together in 1991 and in late 1993 we heard about them after buying a copy of their first single on their own label. We did a single ‘Tresspass’ and then offered them an album. Their debut album, ‘Tartan Material’ was produced by Frankie (Leatherface) Stubbs. One more single followed a cover of Culture Club’s ‘Karma Chameleon’ then they were off. They are still going strong and I think they have a second album out on MoonSka records as well as a new compilation of early stuff including the ‘Tresspass’ E.P. You can usually catch them on tour playing all around the UK and Europe"(from discogs)
"Machine Gun Etiquette were a political punk rock band from Ayrshire, Scotland, formed in the mid-nineties by vocalist/bassist Rat Cunningham.
Machine Gun Etiquette released a number of demos through 1994-96 (“Revolution in the Head” tape as well as the “No Frills” demo tape.) The band released split records with Ex-Cathedra & Juggling Jugulars in the late 90s before finally releasing their 16 track debut album “Hate this city” (Problem Child) in 2000, as well as a single - the “Self Respect” EP (Campary Records). In 2003 Machine Gun Etiquette released their final album “Reality Check”, and played their final gig, supporting MDC at the Path Tavern in Kirkcaldy. A final 7” single was released on Campary - “Hate This City” - with a re-recorded and re-worked version of “Joe Public” as the B-side (featuring Stiff from Ex-Cathedra/Scunnered performing a ‘special’ “Evening Times!” intro…)"(from lasfm)

This is a split tape recorded live at their gig at AZbazille in Kassel(Germany)on 12/05/1996 and it was released by Zebra-Core,little label based in Duisburg(Germany).

Recording is pretty good considering that this was recorded live,there is no song titles in the cover sleeve.

For the lovers of  political ska punk this is a great tape.

Enjoy it.

BORGHESIA - In concerto a El Paso(c46-Nautilus/El Paso Prods,1988-Italy)

Few years ago I passed this tape to Misterioso Impossivel blog,that link is dead now so I re-post it here.

Borghesia is a Slovenian electronic music / rock music group, created in Ljubljana in 1982. The band was formed by members of the alternative theatre group Theatre FV-112/15. Borghesia created its aesthetics using the imagery of prohibited, tabooed and repressed. Their sound is often compared to that of other groups in the period such as D.A.F., Manufacture and more notably Front 242, whom many cite as the chief instigators of the Electronic Body Music label used to describe such music. Borghesia went on several Europe-wide concert tours, mainly in 1988-91, which were reviewed in large music magazines in England, Germany etc., like NME, Melody Maker, New Life, Zillo. They released four albums on Play It Again Sam, one of the more important indie labels, which were also licensed to Wax Trax in the USA and Canada. Further interviews and articles in the magazines above. Aldo Ivancic later formed the band Bast, and is famous in the Slovenian music scene today as a producer. Borghesia together with Laibach were prominent representatives of Slovenian alternative pop music, and topped the bill on the compilation albums Trans Slovenia Express, released on Mute Records. Borghesia live show in Gothenburg, Sweden in October 1988 was the subject of an hour long broadcast on Swedish national radio network, on the show P3 Live.(from wikipedia)
This tape is a live gig recorded at El Paso squat in Turin(Italy) on 17-12-1988-the gig was a  benefit for 5 people  arrested for public insult to forigner head of state,in this case the Pope who was visiting Turin few months earlier this gig.
EL PAso is still alive and kicking and you can check their webpage here:www.ecn.org/elpaso
Also this tape is co-produced by Nautilus,this is a very good label of radical anarchist books+magazines and music,also this label is still active,you can check their website here:www.ecn.org/nautilus
I have no idea how many copies of this tape El paso+Nautilus  distributed at the time.it`s not available any longer.The live recording is just amazing.I did scan  the cover sleeve + the small booklet included.I am afraid the lyrics were only translated into italian language.
Enjoy it.
