On this day:

The tape mountain - base camp two

Here's the second leg of my marathon tape archiving project. This one is drawn from several sources: Peel; A Radio 3 Mixing it special from Prague (seemed unbelievably exotic then); Kevin Greening's saturday morning show on Radio 1; Pete Tong; and I think Arrested Development was from the Jacquie Brambles show (!)

Title: Late May 1994

Side 1:
Autechre - Bass cadet
Chumbawamba - Homophobia
Credit to the nation - Mr ego trip
Frank Black - Headache
Raymond St. Clair - Blow chap gravy boat
Arrested Development - Ease my mind
Flying saucer attack - Feedback song
Scorn - Falling
Yequana - Thousand rains

LSG - Heart
Carole King - It's too late (excerpt)

Side 2:
Iwa Bitowa - Tsana Czim (probably totally misspelt!)
Dunai - (title unknown)
Ecstasy of Saint Theresa - Her eyes have it
Wojtek Havel - A little blue dancer
Dissecting table - Dead gods
The Allman-Mulo Band - Emergency
God is my co-pilot - Kwhiney Q
Troy Raimi - I can't stop holding on
John Oswald - Field
Hank Williams sr - Your cheatin' heart
Special AKA - Your racist friend
Black Flag - Jealous again

Notes: Whatever happened to Credit to the Nation? They made some great records. Ecstasy of Saint Theresa were perhaps the first group from the post-communist states of eastern Europe to get any kind of hip cachet. They made a kind of post-rock/blissed out electronica. If artists were rewarded for influencing others John Oswald would have made a lot of money in the last two to three years - his Plunderphonics concept pre-empted the whole Bootleg scene (2 many DJ's; DJ Dangermouse et al) by years. The Special AKA track is indicative of left politics in Britain at that time ("If you have a racist friend, now is the time, now is the time for that friendship to end.") A nice sentiment, but simplistic.

Deadest band...
The Guardian in its Q&A section has been running a thing about the world's deadest band, e.g. the Grateful Dead with five members sadly passed to the other side. It's a bit mainstream though, how about an 80s indie deadest band competition?
