ALPHABETICAL UPLOADS OF WHACKED OUT SINGLES PT. 2

This is the second installment in my ongoing series of postings of singles from the vdoandsound archives.



ALU-BITTE WARTEN SIE!, 1981, GERMANY
Magnificent gritty Neue Deutsche Welle minimal synth from ex members of krautrockers Sand.



A MOUSE ORCHESTRA-A LUMP IN YOUR THROAT PT. 1 & PT.2, 1994, UK / GERMANY
Beautiful and unexpectedly highly musical collaboration between Christoph Heemann of HNAS/Mirrror and David Jackman of Organum.




ANODE/CATHODE-PUNKANACHROCK, 1981 (RECORDED: 1975-1977), JAPAN
Awesome release of freaked out half-submerged punk-tinged acid jamming with much tape speed fuckery on this triangular jacket-housed mega-rarity on the legendary Pinakotheca label.



ANONYMOUS-SNAKE ATTACK/CORPORATE FOOD, 1980, USA
Sense deforming post punk demetia of an extremely acidic sort that compares favorably with the psychic meltdown atmospheres of Chrome, I.M.A. and Cake Beast-era Lemon Kittens. Some truly sick shit goin' down on this one, friends...



APPI-MAHNFAKTOR KATHARSIS, 1986, GERMANY
Intuitive art brut sound deformations somewhere between Anne Gillis, Ghedalia Tazartes and Runzelstirn & Gurglestock.



THE ARCHAIC SMILE-LAST WORDS/NEVER SPOKEN, 1981, UK
Excellent moody synth driven post punk with gothy overtones on side A, hyperactive Athletico Spizz 80-like new wave fun on side B.



AREA-L'INTERNAZIONALE/CITAZIONE DA GEORGE L. JACKSON,
Italian progressive jazz rock gods Area tackle the communist anthem L'Internazionale for a second time after their Are(a)zione live LP, this time in a studio setting to far richer effect, while the b-side is a deeply tripped out abstraction complete with hissing effected narration. For Area devotees, this is an absolutely essential piece of the puzzle.



ARNOLD LANE-BOOK OF SAND/NO COLLAR, 1982, UK
A side is great hooky synthpop in a sort of vaguely early OMD-ish way while the B-side gets into more freaky Snakefinger cum Devo territory to terrific effect.



ARTLESS TIME-HOMAGES, 1982, USA
An early release on Elliott Sharp's Zoar label, this is a completely wonderful EP of delicately peculiar sonic assemblages, all three here designed as homages to, respectively, Gheorghe Zamfir, Thaddeus Cahill and Lou Harrison and largely constructed of vibes, synths and a pile of shakers and rattlers.
