Diamanda Galás - "Diamanda Galas" (1984)



After seeing yesterday her absolutely brilliant concert, I decided to post this album.

G-d, it was a sheer brilliance! Her monumental voice, sometimes supported by electronic effects, but mostly accoustic with piano - all this filled with beauty, misery, pain, irony... I can't find any words to describe it...

Enjoy.

You can recognise the line "Es liegt auf der Zunge und brennt! [It lies on the tongue and burns!]" in the third unknown song in track 8. I suppose, that it was back then a basis of a future song later called Ein seltener Vogel released on Perpetuum mobile album (2004).

various - "Alternativní kultura" (2001)



This is a compilation CD which was part of a huge compendium book about czech alternative culture between years 1945 and 1989. Included is alternative music such as PPU, or even heavy metal (Törr). The lyrics are in czech. Unfortunately three last tracks are textual experiments and poems and right know I have no translation for them.
Some recordings come from the interprets' golden years, some are later re-recordings.

Paprsky inženýra Garina - "Blbá Evropa" (1991)



Czech performance/industrial unit Paprsky inženýra Garina named after Aleksey Tolstoy's sci-fi novel "The Hyperboloid of Engineer Garin" (or The Garin Death Ray) published in 1926 started in 1985. They never took themselves too seriously, so you're spared from funny wannabe dark image and "though" statements. They were once presented as Einstürzende Laibach and I must say, that I agree with this comparison. I remember seeing them for the last time (I don't remember their later gigs, because their appearance on the stage was very rare) back in 1995, when they played before Test Dept. on Alternativa festival at Theatre Archa.

Below you can download their one and only album called Blbá Evropa, which means Stupid Europe in czech.

1 Elegie / Elegy (6:07)
2 New born Child Pray (6:27)
3 Vám! / To you! (2:39)
4 Vyflusni polibek / Spit the kiss out (10:03)
5 Ahoj-Praha-Havel-Pivo / Hello-Prague-Havel-Beer (2:02)
6 Nepokoje / Riots (2:44)
7 VEB Automobilwerke Eisenach (3:09)
8 Get high (4:22)
9 F. F. F. (Free fast fucking) (0:47)
10 Červený smích / Red laughter (5:54)
11 Na čí / Which side (3:47)

NON - "Might!" (1995)



This album by "black pimp" Boyd Rice came out in 1995 and is inspired by Ragnar Redbeard's book "Might is Right" focused on topic, which can be today called social darwinism. The lyrics used on Might! come from this book and note, that the music is not so harsh and noisy as NON's earlier releases, but it's still worth listening.
Great record.

From the sleeve-note: Might. Brute force-power in its most elemental form. This was the basis of a book called Might is Right, penned nearly a century ago by a man who called himself Ragnar Redbeard. The lyrics on this recording were taken exclusively from his tome, a work considered by many to be the definitive exposition of Darwinian law as it applies to man, his world and his nature. It is above all a celebration of force, at once both a frenzied paean to its glory and a cold appraisal of its inevitability.
