Danceable noisy electronic beats by Martial Canterel, aka Sean McBride, who is one half of synth-pop duo Xeno & Oaklander. His new album bears very strange title: „Gyors, Lassú”. For the majority of the Universe: it’s in Hungarian; pronunc: diorsh, lushew; means: quick, slow. Sean is a New Yorker, he also loves our hometown, and now living in a small town in Campania, Teano. The album is about these cities, and the wanderings between these. Funny that sometimes he writes in Hungarian on his fb page.

On the cover there is a figure from the so-called Hungarian deck of card: Stüszi vadász (Stüssi hunter), otherwise Tökfilkó, which means Blockhead in the vernacular. Strange fact that on the cards the depicted characters and scenes are taken from Friedrich Schiller’s William Tell. The Swiss figures substitute for Hungarian historical heroes and scenes, because at the time of birth of card (around 1835), Hungary was one province of the Hapsburg Empire, and there was hard censorship.

One of the seven fundamental principles in the ancient Hindu scince of health is the RAKTA i.e. Blood. This has been choosen by 4 Brazilian girls for their progressive deathrock band

La Perversita. One of the first releases of the French composer, Hector Zazou. Minimal and experimental punk. I can only enthuse about it. Delightful experience. There are a Beatles (Strawberry Fields) and a Stones (I Can’t Get No…) cover. Thanx for the Desire for the full album stream!

Only 300 copies exact replica of the original LP, which released in 1979. Cover art by Kiki Picasso. Distributed by Desire. (The original album cost 100-200 euros nowadays.)

Already I have seen a Singaporean HC band which have not only Finnish name, but they sing in Finnish, and play Finnish hardcore sure. Already I have met a Japanese HC band which have not only Italian name, but they sing in Italian, and play Italian hardcore sure. And now here is a Japanese HC band, which have Swede name, but they sing in English, and play Swede hardcore sure.
