Sonic Chicken 4 was a French garage punk band „before garage punk bands had booking agencies, five-page hospitality riders and tuners…” Their posthumous album was recorded in 2009 by King Khan and was continously re-set and re-postponed until this year, but meanwhile the band stopped his activity.

Mixed Band Philantrophist was a project of English industrial noise group The New Blockaders. From their anti-manifesto: „It is our duty to blockade and induce others to blockade: Anti-music, anti-art, anti-books, anti-films, anti-communications. We will make anti-statements about anything and everything. We will make a point of being pointless…” The Mixed Band of Philantrophist is an international noise conspiracy (or anti-conspiracy). The Impossible Humane album is a sound collage, made from assembled tape recordings of Merzbow, Controlled Bleeding, Nurse With Wound, Etant Donnes and same industrial and noise artists.

It was released in 1987. Reissue with two bonus tracks by Staubgold. 12″ vinyl, only 400 copies. Listen to it entirely. So big, so fun!

„Allegedly the styles return 20 years after. So – if you didn’t recognize it – the 90s are came back.  By the way, we continuously repeat ourselves from the creation. Just our instruments are altered. ” Some years ago I wrote this in connection with previous Odonis Odonis records. It was a mix of 90s style music. The chaos keeps growing. Er industrial grunge experimental cold gaze “punk or whatever i feel.” Another fantastic Canadian band

There was another legendary band in the 90s. It was called Nirvana. Yeah, they did some good tracks at that time. There were some hits and finally a shot. Now here is their last studio album In Utero from covers. The songs are played for example by Ceremony, Thursday, Pigmy Lush, Young Widows, Jay Reatard, Mean Jeans.

Here are two opinions of customers:
„Why would you take crappy artists and try to do a classic album. Ugh at least try to make the songs sound good. Horrible”
„I don’t write review too often, but after listening to this garbage I felt compelled to. There is nothing good about this album.”

„I gave myself permission to make really bad electronic music on my computer.”

Caroline Polachek (from the American synth pop duo Chairlift) has made a solo album during her band’s tour last year. It was written and recorded in hotel room closets, airport terminals and airplane bathrooms alone. 80’s new wave synth pop with a little sacral attitude.
