Spirit Caravan - The Last Embrace
stoner/doom/psychedelic
Spirit Caravan's Scott "Wino" Weinrich's guitar tone evinces the slow burning wisdom derived from many decades of hard living and touring in the underground music community. In the wake of the breakup of his previous outfit, Obsessed, due in part to a soured major-label record deal, Wino found himself living in Southern California, burned out and broke. Realizing that drastic changes were certainly in order -- legend has it -- he picked up his only possession, a Les Paul guitar, and boarded a Greyhound bus back East to his hometown of Washington, D.C., to sort out his life. Whether merely apocryphal or not, the story illustrates Wino's hard-as-nails, driven to the marrow modus operandi regarding the creation of music.
Spirit Caravan began in 1996, playing gigs in the Maryland area initially under the name Shine. Drummer Gary Isom and bass player Dave Sherman rounded out the lineup, both of whom Wino had known for many years. After some coaxing, Wino, who had been deeply embroiled in the thankless task of reassembling both his personal and musical career, became amenable to jamming old Obsessed tunes just for fun. Quite clearly, that blossomed into a full-fledged band. While Spirit Caravan's sound isn't drastically different from the aforementioned Obsessed, who welded the foot-stomping organic qualities of Grand Funk Railroad with no-frills American roots punk like the Dictators, all the while observing Black Sabbath, Spirit Caravan injected a healthy dose of cryptic psychedelia to the mix.
In 1997, the band recorded its first vinyl EP entitled Lost Sun Dance. Shortly after, they were met with a cease and desist order from another outfit using the moniker Shine and re-emerged after some brainstorming as Spirit Caravan. In 1999, the trio issued two recordings, the album Jug Fulla Sun, and the CD-EP Dreamwheel, the former on Fugazi member Joe Lally's Tolotta Records. After extensive U.S. and European touring, the band recorded and released its sophomore effort, Elusive Truth, in 2001. ~ Patrick Kennedy, All Music Guide

The Monochrome Set - 1981 - Love Zombies
- Love Zombies
- Adeste Fideles
- 405 Lines
- B-I-D Spells Bid
- R.S.V.P.
- Apocalypso
- Karma Sutre
- The Man With The Black Moustache
- The Weird And Wonderful World Of Tony Potts
- "In Love Cancer"
The two form the B-sides, a beat group rehearsing in South Clapham, London, throughout 1976 and 1977 with various personnel including some known names as follow: Lester Square (guitar), Bid (occassional guitar and vocals) and of course Warren on bass. These Hornsey art school punks, known to the world The B-Sides never played any gigs, nor released any records, but had more talent than you could shake a stick at. Actually , the rather recently issued abum Black & White Minstrels includes some tracks from these early days. The B-sides are also supposed to have recorded a punk version of Nancy Sinatra's classic "These boots are made for walking".
Adam, Andy and Lester then goes on to form Adam & the Ants. The Ants (comprising Ant, Warren, Square and Paul Flanagan) make their live debut on April 23 1977 at the Roxy club in Neal Street, London. The bill also includes Siouxsie & the Banshees.
After a while, in early 1978, Lester leaps out (sorry, I just couldn't resist the pun...) of the Ants and rejoins Bid to form the Monochrome Set. Andy Warren stays in the Ants to record their first album.
With Charlie X (bass) and J.D. Haney (drums: ex-Art Attacks) the band play their first gig to enthusiastic students at Westfield College. During these early days, the Monochrome Set went through a bewildering array of bass players: Charlie X was rapidly replaced by Simon Croft - who in turn quit, preferring to keep his day job.
Despite this apparent instability, the band were soon signed by Rough Trade (Autumn 1978), and the fifth single to emerge from the Rough Trade offices has a black/white television set on the cover. By now Jeremy Harrington (bass: ex-Gloria Mundi and Mean Street) handled the bass guitar. Three promising 45s followed - 'He's Frank' in January 1979, the superb 'Eine Symphonie des Grauens' (April) and sig-tune 'Monochrome Set' in September (which received much airplay from Radio One DJ Mike Read). A tour of the USA followed, which also featured the slide projections of film-maker Tony Potts.
At this point, Jeremy Harrington decides to stay in America and form The Resident Aliens. But don't worry, he is replaced our old pal Andy Warren in October 1979, who has fallen out with his fellow Ants. That very month, the Monochrome Set were finally signed by an impressed major, namely Dindisc. And the following April sees the double release of the band's debut LP,Strange Boutique, and its title track as a single. The long-player gained favourable reviews and surprised many by reaching the UK Top 65. The band's prolific output continued unabated with further singles in '405 Lines' (with its self-referential 'television' theme) and the sardonic 'Apocalypso'. .
Following the release of their second album of the year - Love Zombies (October 1980) - some journalists felt that the Monochrome Set were doing their level best to alienate the press, and even believed that the group lacked the ambition necessary to break through. Sadly, Dindisc felt similarly, dropping them after the relative failure of the second album. Possibly due to the label going bankrupt. Anyhow, the Monochrome Set was without a contract.
1981 began in slightly better fashion, with Charisma's Pre label putting out a one-off single - the quirky "Ten Don'ts For Honeymooners". But it was with Mike Alway's vigilant indie label Cherry Red records that the Monochrome Set found themselves back on an even kilter. The label, always fast to spot unusual and brilliant acts, had an impressive rooster including Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt (later of Everything But the Girl), the Marine Girls, Nightingales, Eyeless in Gaza, Attila the Stockbroker and the Dead Kennedys.
Rapid line-up changes follow in the Monochrome camp. In August 1981, J.D. Haney goes to New York to work on the International Discography of the New Wave, to get married and to join the band Triple Threat. Lexington Crane briefly sits in on the drums before ex-Soft Boys Morris Windsor joined for the release of "The Mating Game" in July 1982, followed by "Cast a long shadow" and the memorable first Cherry Red album Eligible Bachelors
Mid-1983 saw the tongue-in-cheek single 'Jet Set Junta', which nodded to the previous year's Falkland islands conflict, becoming a big indie hit and garnering extensive play.
In Oct. 1982 Lester leaves the band to make the movie The Green Man, study and make his solo debut with a single, Deals Surf. Lester also played guitar with London band the Native Hipsters around this time.
Bid & Andy carries on, recruits Carrie Booth on keyboards, Nick Wesolowski on drums and Freddie Fingers Foster, Foz to his friends, to play guitar. And when the aforementioned Mike Alway abandoned Cherry Red to start the WEA subsidiary blanco y negro, he takes the Monochrome Set with him, issuing 'Jacob's Ladder' (1985) as one of the new label's first 45s.
The positive reaction to this altogether much poppier affair gave the band renewed confidence. The obvious disappointment felt when this single narrowly missed the Top 75 was tempered by the release of the equally well-received 'Wallflower' later in the year. However, this too failed to chart, and when the subsequent LP, the pleasing Lost Weekend (1985), also made little headway, the disillusioned Monochrome Set decided to go their separate ways....
But just to prove that the world is a great place, the Monochrome Set reform in December 1989. The band sports Bid, Lester, Andy Warren, Trevor Reidy drumming and Orson Presence on guitar and keyboards. And they're still with us to this very day...
Foz went on to form David Devant & his spirit wife, appearing as if by magic at venues throughout the uk in 1996.
The very latest news I can offer (August 1996) is that the band has taken another sabbathical, and we will just have to make do with the wonderful albums and singles until they decide to act again.

Yello - Solid Pleasure (1980)
Swiss millionaire conceptual-artist dilletante horsey-set professional poker player and golfer decides he wants to front a synth-pop band, and Yello is the result. Their debut album is a baffling, fantastic, and utterly successful blend of clubby dancefloor tunes and silly minimal synth experiments. Oh, and there's also a three-song-long gloomy ambient/industrial soundscape right smack in the middle of the album, which, strangely enough, is just what the album needs at that point. In 1980, this is what happened when a rich guy decided to make music. Nowadays, Paris Hilton is the millionaire recording albums. Things were far far better back then. Sigh.
If Throbbing Gristle's "DOA: Third and Final Report" is an ice-cold shower and a mouthful of nails, then "Solid Pleasure" is a jacuzzi bathtub and a glass of champagne with a sugar-frosted rim.

Rhea's Obsession, who takes its name from the Greek Goddess Rhea, is a band from Canada. Their music mixes several different genres, making it difficult to place them in any one specific box. A few of these genres are gothic rock, darkwave, and world music, similar to Dead Can Dance.
"A sweeping atmosphere of tranquility and serenity awaits us with Between Earth and Sky. Here, the Canadian duo Rhea's Obsession is delivering an outstanding performance, charming us with their gorgeous ethereal music. With diverse world music references, many ancient Arabian ones, build around a superb orchestration of percussion and guitars all this supported by the blissful, multidimensional vocal's abilities of Sue Hutton; this album is simply beautiful. For sure, Rhea's Obsession plays on some gothic's edges, and this, with brilliance and Dreaming Blade is truly revealing such overtones. Here more grinding, but well balanced, guitars replace the usual acoustic ones along shy electronics making their intrusion along Hutton's remarkable vocals providing an energetic performance. But, Between Earth and Sky's best moments can be found in its serenity with songs like Spill Elixir or the opening Too Deep delivering a heavenly experience. The late, with a soft electronic landscape smoothly embracing acoustic guitars, donates such a pleasant, yet unique, moment."
~by Final Man, electroage-music.com
Biography:
The gothic beauty behind Rhea's Obsession surrounds Greek mythology and twists with Celtic and Bulgarian musical stylings for a unique electro-industrial depiction. Formed in 1995 with guitarist Jim Field and classically trained vocalist Sue Hutton, the two composed the score to the experimental flick Tabulae Anatomacae Sex, which incorporated their flawless Dead Can Dance-like ambience thought, bringing them critical acclaim and a hand in music for films. Later work consisted of arranging scores to regular Canadian shows on MuchMusic and Bravo, but Rhea's Obsession also yearned for a recording career as well. In 1996, Hutton and Field formed a tour band with Ryan Bloomer (drums), Rakesh Tewari (tablas and percussion), Ed Hanley (tablas and percussion), and Chris Gagnon (keyboards) in support of the band's debut Initiation. Praise at college radio soon followed and the lush tribal hues of Initiation also brought the goth rock/darkwave circuit up from the underground in Canada and equaled more airtime play for Rhea's Obsession. Several compilations showcasing the band's spellbinding film material were released throughout the rest of the decade, as well as a second album Between Earth and Sky.

The Modern Dance changed the way I heard music when I first taped it off a friend in 1981; 17 years and three or four copies down the road it still sounds fantastic.
Back then it was a bracing shock to the central nervous system, the sound of music flying in a dozen different directions at once and yet cohering into a powerful, singularly evocative expression of possibility and perspective. The Modern Dance reaffirmed that rock and roll could be a vehicle for authentic artistic statements, and that this could be done without rubbing the listener in the rank stench of the performer's narcissistic self-adoration. It also sounded, back in the day, completely alien and yet somehow familiar. On the one hand you had David Thomas's inchoate yelps and Allen Ravenstine's hissing, sparking, whistling EML synthesizer. On the other was a driving, full-steam-ahead rhythm section and a guitarist who obviously knew how to negotiate the distance between the Missippi Delta, Chuck Berry, and outer space, and was glad to weave his map into every ascerbic lick that he played.
This is the soundtrack of intelligent men lost in the wretched cultural wasteland of the 70s, aware that their city was rotting around them and in love with its corroded rusting beauty.
This is one of the best records ever made.

Bill and Tracy were joined by a third synthesist, Kevin Komoda, toward the end of the production of 'CWNL'. 'Cold War Night Life' was Canada's first-ever full-length synthpop release and the biggest- selling Canadian independent album of the 1980's. The album was also released throughout Europe to considerable success (on both sides of the Iron Curtain).

10 Circle Will Be Closed Forever (Edit)
Founded in 1991, Artaud proclaimed that G.O.D. would produce seven albums in seven years with seven songs each -- seven is a very powerful number and, in some arcane traditions, seven thrice is the number of perfection. The corpus of The Garden of Delight cannot be viewed as individual albums or songs -- they are all integral aspects of the whole plan that Artaud has been consistently explicating since the first years of this decade. In the 1994 song "Necromanteion (S.O.C.R.)," Artaud utters "The Last of the Lost Ones/Tell them I want to see them." On their most recent album "Scheoul," he declares "We are the Last of the Lost Ones." Six years and six albums later, the circle approaches completion.
Musically, there can be little doubt that Artaud is influenced by Carl McCoy in both subject matter and vocal style (actually, he seems to be the one man on the face of the earth with a voice that is actually deeper ..than Carl's), and by and large, G.O.D. retain the fundamental structure of "a man and his drum machine." However, Artaud sneers at the notion that the Garden of Delight is a "goth" band. Considering goth, one immediately thinks of bands that are influenced by the Sisters of Mercy. Granted, there is a certain degree of such within the Garden of Delight's work (particularly Symbol and Vision). However, this does not take into account the incredible diversity of their music. Indeed, while all of their albums have had thematic consistency, their music has changed greatly through the years. The Garden of Delight never seem content with a particular "sound." They will adopt one, master it, synthesize it with something else, and then move on. To firmly label the Garden of Delight would imply musical stagnation, which is quite far from the truth.

Skerik (Nalgas Sin Carne) - saxophone on "Long Gone Day"
Mad Season was a grunge supergroup formed in late 1994 by members of three popular Seattle based bands: Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam and Screaming Trees.
Mad Season only released one album, Above.
"Above" was released March 14, 1995
History :
Mad Season was formed in 1994 by the trio of Mike McCready (guitar), Barrett Martin (drums) and John Baker Saunders (bass). All three had long been a part of the Seattle music community with McCready playing in such bands as Pearl Jam and Temple of the Dog, Martin with Skin Yard and the Screaming Trees and Saunders with The Walkabouts as well as blues talents such as Little Pat Rushing, Hubert Sumlin, Sammy Fender, and the Lamont Cranston Band.
Immediately the trio set up rehearsal time together and wrote two songs, "Wake Up" and "River of Deceit", both of which would later appear on their album Above. McCready then brought in friend and Alice in Chains frontman Layne Staley to round out the lineup.
Despite not having a single song completely prepared (only beginnings of songs, according to Martin) and not even having a name for the band, McCready scheduled an unannounced show at the Crocodile Cafe in October 1994, which turned out to be a big success. In fact, the song "Artificial Red", which was also to appear on the album, actually came together during the show itself.
Two more gigs were scheduled at the same venue, with the band calling themselves the Gacy Bunch, after both the notorious serial killer John Wayne Gacy of Chicago and a sitcom from the 1970s called The Brady Bunch.
On January 8 of 1995, the band made an appearance on Pearl Jam's Self-Pollution Radio worldwide broadcast, performing "Lifeless Dead" and "I Don't Know Anything".
After gaining more popularity, the band recorded their only album and changed their name to Mad Season, which is an English term for the time of the year when psilocybin mushrooms are in full bloom.
The album, Above, which was recorded in Seattle at Bad Animals Studio (co-owned by Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart) and co-produced by the band and Pearl Jam sound engineer Brett Eliason, featured 10 songs. It also included guest vocals by Screaming Trees frontman and solo artist Mark Lanegan. The album was released on March 15, 1995 on Columbia Records to critical and commercial success. Over the course of 1995, Above scaled the Billboard 200 eventually peaking at #24, furthermore spawning two singles: "River of Deceit" (#2 Mainstream Rock Tracks, #9 Modern Rock Tracks) and "I Don't Know Anything" (#20 Mainstream Rock Tracks). Above was certified gold on June 14 of that year.
The band continued to play shows during the Spring of '95 before going on hiatus to return to work with their main bands. During this time the band released the 'Live At The Moore Theatre' video which was a live performance recorded at Seattle's Moore Theatre on April 29, 1995. Also during this time the band contributed a cover of John Lennon's "I Don't Wanna Be A Soldier" to the John Lennon tribute compilation Working Class Hero.
In 1996 a live version of "River Of Deceit" surfaced on the Bite Back: Live At Crocodile Cafe compilation although by this time Mad Season had long been dormant from live work.
In 1997 attempts were made by McCready, Saunders and Martin to revive Mad Season although by this point Staley's health had worsened due to severe drug addiction. As a result he declined to participate in the project any further thus leaving Mad Season without a singer.
With Staley now out of the picture, the band recruited vocalist Mark Lanegan (of the Screaming Trees) who had previously guested on the Above album (as well as at live shows) as their new permanent singer. With the switch in frontman the group also switched names adopting the 'Disinformation' moniker in late 1997.
Work reportedly began in 1998 on what would have been Disinformation's debut album although between everyone's busy schedules studio time was hard to come by. Over the course of the year the quartet gradually grew apart making a 'Disinformation' album all the more unlikely. Another critical blow was dealt to the project in January 1999 with the death of bassist John Baker Saunders (from an overdose of heroin). The group (esp. Saunders' long-time friend Mike McCready) were deeply saddened to hear news of his death.
Although no official announcement was ever given, it is widely accepted that Mad Season/Disinformation broke up following Saunders' death.

The Walkabouts - 1993 - New West Motel
After issuing a self-titled cassette in 1984, the Walkabouts released the EP 22 Disasters a year later. A full-length LP, Weights and Rivers, was planned for 1987, but the record was never released — a harbinger of music industry problems to come. Instead, the group offered See Beautiful Rattlesnake Garden in 1988, which not only marked the continued maturity of Eckman and Torgerson's songwriting but also earned the Walkabouts a contract with the fledgling Sub Pop label. The deal resulted in upgraded production values, as evidenced by 1989's Cataract and its follow-up, the next year's six-song EP Rag & Bone, which featured the keyboard work of the newly added Slater.
Released in 1991, Scavenger proved to be the last Walkabouts record issued in their native land for some time; however, while the deal with Sub Pop's American division went sour, the label's European division, Glitterhouse, hung on to the Walkabouts, where the band's following had been steadily growing. Between 1993 and 1995, the group issued a staggering seven full-length records in Europe — three by the full band, a limited-edition live collection, and three more released by the duo of Chris & Carla. Finally, in 1995 the three aforementioned Walkabouts albums — the double-LP set New West Motel, the all-covers Satisfied Mind, and the more rock-oriented Setting the Woods on Fire — all appeared domestically. A year later, the band issued two more albums, the all-new Devil's Road (recorded with the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra) and Death Valley Days: Lost Songs and Rarities, 1985-1995, a collection of odds and ends. In November 1996, Wells left the Walkabouts to devote himself to his side project, Pluto Boy; he was replaced by bassist Baker Saunders. Trail of Stars followed in 2000.

Metro Music was Martha and the Muffins' first album, released in 1979, and contained the international hit single "Echo Beach"; it was a #3 hit in Canada, #1 in Portugal, #5 in Australia and reached No. 10 in the UK charts in March 1980. "Saigon" was released as a follow-up single in the UK a few months later but failed to chart. In Canada, the follow-up single was "Paint By Number Heart" -- it climbed to #69.
As Dindisc 1 (DID I) Metro Music was notable for being the first album ever released on the then-new Dindisc label, followed soon after by the debut album from Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, numbered appropriately enough, as Dindisc 2 (DID 2).
The cover art gives us a birds eye view of the Toronto Harbour and the surrounding area, the band's hometown.

Why the Hell Did I Die?

Dr. Softness

Psyclone Rangers are a wild bunch from Pennsylvania led by vocalist Jonathan Valania and guitarist Scott Dantzer. Their postures, halfway between freaks a` la Butthole Surfers and cowpunks a` la Gun Club, are wed to twisted, psychotic punk-rock. The band offers lyrics centered more upon feeling than culture. Again, the music is post-punk garage band raucousness as played from the garage at Graceland, but a few more songs branch out into more experimental angles. And while the music isn't as fueled as the pure pop and pop culture on Feel Nice, the effort is still rock & roll at its best and most well-crafted.
