Throbbing Gristle – Blood Pressure

Blood Pressure

Here we go with a TG live bootleg celebrating 20 years of infection and cauterising, recorded on a stereo sony cassette supplied as a “Virus” by William S. Burroughs, that was recorded in 1975, that’s what’s stated on the CD, but most tracks seem to be from taken from Throbbing Gristle’s live performances in Berlin in 1980. Track 3 is “Epping Forest,” which also appears on Nothing Short Of A Total War and Assume Power Focus. Track 6 is the original 7″ mix of the song. Track 7 is an extended version of “Final Muzak” from First Annual Report. There is also no mention of Peter Christopherson which is highly unlikely. aside from these few facts an excellent experimental / noise release. Blood Pressure was released on Cd by Dossier (DCD 9048) in 1995.

  1. Blood Pressure
  2. Destoria
  3. Cerebral Aneurysm
  4. Catheder Depletion

The Darkening Scale – The Songs Of Langtuhn Hemblu

The Songs Of Langtuhn Hemblu

The Songs Of Langtuhn Hemblu is The Darkening Scale’s album of songs! The project grew out of one particular piece, Black Death. I (mrsneff) got hold of a recording of some children singing the nursery rhyme “Ring Around The Roses” from The Freesound Project. I was aware of the alleged association of the nursery rhyme with the plague and started recording a piece which set the innocence of the children’s voices against a much darker, sinister backing, complete with voices singing from the Requiem Mass and a middle section like a funeral march. Only available as an mp3 download.

Tracks:

  1. Shaker Loops
  2. T for Tuva
  3. Banshee Moron
  4. Desperate Griper
  5. The Aforementioned Lard Rant
  6. Gladsome Vane
  7. Forget Nephritis
  8. Edema Ladylove
  9. Fictive Funk
  10. Black Death
  11. Mandrake Hymn
  12. Balsamic Novelist
  13. A Health Warning
