Side One of this cassette contains the Russian underground music from the first half of the 80s - from before Grbaczow. Those years it was not easy to make music on your own. That's why so many bands here use drum machines - it was just not too safe to play too loud. The master tape was smuggled to Poland under a skirt of a brave girl from Leningrad. We can't tell you the names of the bands nor the titles of the tracks - we just don't know them. This is what we meat doing this cassette possible - ISOLATION
Side Two contains Dezerter live recording from Februar 1986
Tretí štúdiový album kapely DRŤ s názvom "Kruh alebo špirála?" vychádza 14. marca, aby pripomenul tragický dátum vzniku Slovenského štátu v roku 1939, ktorý kolaboroval s nacistickým Nemeckom a pričinil sa o vyvraždenie, vyhnanie a vyvlastnenie desiatok tisícov spoluobčanov.
Album vzniká tiež ako reakcia na súčasnú spoločenskú situáciu. Nesie však aj odkaz človeka, ktorý prežil holokaust a aktívne sa podieľal na zmene režimu v Novembri 1989 ako jeden z lídrov Verejnosti proti násiliu. Fedor Gál sa tak predstavuje vo svojich 78 rokoch v úlohe slovenského vokalistu. Nové skladby pre Drť pripomínajú dôležité milníky v našich dejinách od roku 1945, cez 1968, 1989, 1993 až po 2023.
Textové podklady pre tretí album kapely Drť vytváral Fedor Gál počas doznievajúcej pandémie covidu a v dobe ruskej agresie na Ukrajine. Ako sám hovorí: „Tretia Drť je hlavne o vojne. Za jednej som sa narodil, do druhej som dokráčal na sklonku života. Polku života pritom za ostnatými drôtmi.“
Hlavná otázka, ktorú si album kladie, znie: Je spoločenský vývoj bludný kruh, alebo špirála, ktorá niekam smeruje?
Kapelu ŽIVÉ KVETY som začal počúvať krátko pred vydaním tohto albumu. Vypočul som si dve predošlé dosky a navštívil pár koncertov v Stoke. Hrali poetické piesne so silnými textami.
Album Na mojej ulici im produkoval Leďo (ex-Zóna A) a možno aj preto má taký punkrockovejší "drajv", hoci kapela zaostáva v polohe poetického indie-rocku.
Info: "The single was recorded in the Līksmā M's first (and in this line-up also in the last) rehearsal with the aim to listen how it sounds and to protest against the existing injustice of the world. After the release of the single, Mārtiņš leaves the group to dedicate himself to his project. Recording under no circumstances should be promoted [underlined], it should be kept in 1 copy as a historical fact." (from the original reel-to-reel tape annotation)
Band info: The idea to start a band of this calibre dates back to 2008! Time tested this idea and Remdik was formed with two blood brothers and two non-blood brothers. The first material will contain seven songs with confrontational content, nostalgically reminiscing about the past, but also responding to today's fucked up times! Remdik is no ordinary band, Remdik is a family!
Po dvoch koncertoch za uplynulý víkend na ktorých sa v Bratislave predstavili legendy svetového alternatívneho/avantgardného rocku - menovite THE RESIDENTS a LEGENDARY PINK DOTS, si dáme ešte porciu od českej vlajkovej lode psychdelicko-undergroundovej muziky - THE PLASTIC PEOPLE OF THE UNIVERSE.
Ich jednostranná kazeta Hundred points vyšla v roku 1980 na americkom labely Eurock. Na svojej web-stránke stručne komentuje jej realizáciu priamo vydavateľ:
"A bit earlier in late 1979, early 1980, I began my own Eurock cassette label. The first release was a tape smuggled out of Czechoslovakia via Canada recorded by the illegal band Plastic People of the Universe whose leader was then in jail. It was called the Hundred Points. That was the first release on the label released which was followed by a series of original recordings by various other international artists from France, USA, etc..."
Lyrics:
They fear the old because of their memory
They fear the young because of their innocence
They even fear schoolchildren
They fear the dead and their funerals
They fear the graves and flowers which people put on those graves
They fear the church, priests and nuns
They fear the workers
They fear the Party members
They fear the non – party members
They fear science
They fear art
They fear poems and books
They fear theatre plays and movies
They fear records and cassettes
They fear writers and poets
They fear journalists
They fear actors and sculptors
They fear painters and singers
They fear radio stations
They fear television satellites
They fear the free flow of information
They fear foreign literature and newspapers
They fear the scientific progress
They fear Xerox prints
They fear typewriters
They fear letters
They fear telephones
They fear letting people out (of the country)
They fear letting people in
They fear the left wing
They fear the right wing
They fear the departure of Soviet troops
They fear the changes in Moscow
They fear disarmament
They fear the contracts they signed
They fear their own signatures
They fear their own police
They fear the cops
They fear because of the cops
They fear chess players
They fear tennis players
They fear hockey players
They fear gymnasts
They fear saint Václav
They fear Jan Hus
They fear all the saints
They fear the snacks/gifts from saint Mikuláš (he's like eastern Santa Claus)
They fear the baby Jesus
They fear statues with backpacks on their backs
They fear archives
They fear historians
They fear economists
They fear sociologists
They fear philosophers
They fear physicists
They fear doctors
They fear political prisoners
They fear the families of political prisoners
They fear todays evening
They fear tomorrows morning
They fear today and everyday
They fear the future
They fear the past
They fear heart attacks and cirrhosis
They even fear the slight trace of conscience which maybe remained in them
Kompilácie DIY/INDIE/LO-FI/PUNK kapiel...niečo v štýle výberoviek KBD, či BLOODSTAINS ACROSS...
"Series curated by long-time collector and dealer Chuck Warner, covering exclusively UK DIY post-punk produced between 1977 and 1983. The series was initially released on cdr and then subsquently as a series of regional compilations and discrete band collections on CD.
It's an offshoot of the parent label Hyped To Death whose aim is to release rare, obscure, independent and undiscovered punk, post-punk, D.I.Y., and power-pop groups from the U.S. and the U.K. 1977-1984."
One of the most peculiar groups in the history of czech rock is the Kilhets project of the "Stehlíkov" drummer Petr Křečan. His basic idea was to combine several kinds of art at the same time and create a sort of incomprehensible collage in which elements of theater, art and improvised music would blend together. A fragment of sounds, colors and situations that implicitly express the chaos, confusion, and "clipping" of contemporary life. All eight concerts played by the ensemble caused quite contradictory responses, based on the fact that nothing like that had been played until then.
