GET LOST! - never come back - FULL ALBUM

I didn’t know this. Great album. If someone, ignorant about garage and its surroundings, wanted to “come to terms,” this could be one of the contenders. Varied, essential, high-quality. Butler and Mohr, not your average duo.

Recorded in just four days, Never Come Back is the “comeback” of the Miracle Workers that everyone has been waiting for since Inside Out. As if everything that happened after that album never existed, Robert Butler and Gerry Mohr find themselves almost by chance in Switzerland and decide, along with another American refugee (currently serving with the Jackets) and Kat Aellen, who was already by Butler’s side in Bishops Daughter, to set up an impromptu project that sounds like the Workers did back in the days of Moxie, more than fifteen years ago. The resulting album is a crunchy old-school garage punk gem, where everything that spills over is fermented in fuzz and every note seems to take us back to the times of Gravedigger Five (the cover of Spooky), Gruesomes (the fun yé yé of Mdmation), Chesterfield Kings (the Hey Tiger of Topsy Turbys already in the repertoire of Cavemanish Boys and here reaching peaks of absolute brilliance), Fuzztones (the cryptic and sinister Elevator that closes the album), Morlocks (their version of One Way Ticket is absolutely devastating), Tell-Tale Hearts (the Dutch beat dirtied by Outsiders and Q65’s Love Is a Garden).

In short, it’s like having to compile a collection of the best neo-garage from the ’80s and finding it already ready.

Convenient and devastating.

Death at One's Elbow (2011 Remaster) #pezziminori Oh, what a beautiful time... I'm very attached to what was Marr and co.'s last album... a vinyl practically worn out back then... of course, this is not among the precious gems of their repertoire, but I've always found it very engaging, especially from a rhythmic point of view. The lyrics are not among the most optimistic...

BOHEMIAN BEDROCKS - I got nightmares

The grim faces of the Portnoy brothers are one of the most beautiful images of the neo-garage revolution of the 1980s. Side by side or apart, we would have found them on or in the covers of records by Fuzztones, Outta Place, Twisted, Optic Nerve, Headless Horsemen, Lone Wolves, Handouts. Those who roamed New York in the middle of that decade would have also seen them for a brief period dressed like dandies from the 19th century in a band called Bohemian Bedrocks playing small classics from a lost world like I Got Nightmares by Q65, She Lives by the 13th Floor Elevators, You’re Too Much by the Eyes, I Was Alone by the Exotics, Declaration of Independence by Count Five, and showcasing the already formed embryos of the fetuses later expelled with subsequent bands like I See the Truth or Ain’t That a Man, with borrowed instruments and rehearsal space.

The fruit of those few weeks of rehearsals, which for years were the Eldorado, the buried treasure of East Coast garage-punk, is being released after almost thirty years by Screaming Apple and still constitutes one of the best-preserved skeletons of that now very distant season.

A garage record in its typical 1980s sense, when neo-garage bands seemed like crews of pirates on a mission to probe the ocean in search of old, precious treasures submerged by time and waters, while we waited on the shore for the arrival of these immense ships bringing us joyful news and tangible evidence of distant eras.

One record, one band, immense.

THE TELL -TALE HEARTS - The Tell -Tale Hearts - full album big fans of Pretty Things, in touch through letters, Mike Stax used to send them cassettes, if I'm not mistaken he went to the UK to organize some concerts together, Mike Stax used to run a fanzine dedicated to them. Great album for the record. UNMISSABLE.

Music from Other Worlds (subtitle: 'listen to an idiot)
PERUJAZZ - El Tren de la Vida (2015)
"...and so you can stay among yourselves listening to Peruvian groups with bagpipes that are only listened to by a handful of people and not even their relatives buy them!" (quote)
HERE I AM! PRESENT! I, the arrogant know-it-all, frequenting the most stinky and hidden nooks, who "will never be part of a majority" as that guy said in that movie... I propose you listen to some of the most unimaginable things that have crossed my hands and ears over the years. You, listen to an idiot, spend 5 minutes on this instead of always listening (reading, watching, eating, sniffing...) to the same things you already know how they are, that you don't take risks with, because it simply leads to brain atrophy.
13) Perujazz
"Andean music is such a deadly bore..." these are things that mark you! Of course, the good Dalla was certainly not an ethnomusicologist, but that stuff about cumbia and bamboo flutes that used to circulate especially during certain Unitá parties (Ahhhh! Carla...) surely inflated his annoyance a bit...
However, as always happens, certain things become clichés and preconceptions, and it’s always good to debunk preconceptions! So here are the Perujazz!
The first group to blend Andean rhythms and music with jazz, formed by percussionist and composer Manongo Mujica (also known for a handful of incredibly interesting works, of which I recommend at least listening to "El sonido de los dioses") with remarkable results, it seems to me!
To paraphrase a song we all love...
"We are Andean
beyond 'El Condor Pasa' and Inti Illimani
there's more..."
