"More Favourite Fairytales" was recorded on a four track portastudio in late winter / early spring '84 and is a follow up / progression to a previous cassette entitled "Favourite Fairytales For Juvenile Delinquents" which they consider to be more background music than anything else.
Plans for the proper studio and record a 12 inch version of "Liquid Lunch" and a 7 inch of "Consumption" and one day soon M.F.F will appear properly recorded on a record. Also being talked about is a video film tentatively called "Seven Days Of Agony And Holy Joy". At present more songs are being written and recorded. They have also made some new instruments and have come up with a whole host of new sounds and noises. Ideas are also underway for some film music. All in all "Holy Joy" are a very creative and exiting conception and in my opinion you shall be hearing a lot more from them in the near future.
Get it here and step in the magical world of Band Of Holy Joy

excellent arts radio station (in the improper sense of the word)...
What a great release.
ReplyDeleteAlmost missed this gem.
wow, they're awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love this band. I wish I knew how to digitalize my vinyl BOHJ albums so I could share them online. It seems the only way you can get their releases, especially the lesser known ep's, is paying obscene amounts of money for used copies on ebay. Thanks a lot for this.

ReplyDeleteLast weeks session on radio joy was unbelievable. Some band called Vlk or Vlks. Never heard of them but it was awesome. Sounded like Throbbing Gristle meets Vertov. Somebody needs to discover them.
