Veselí filištínové - "Šithauz" (1987)

Veselí filištínové (Cheerful philistines in czech) was an industrial band, which existed in the second half of the eighties. This tape was compiled by main person behind this project Antonín Hlávka back in 1987 after the group disbanded. The tape was given away to the friends and allies.
The name Šithauz (Shithouse) was inspired by sewage disposal plant in Prague, which served as a rehearsal room for some czech industrial bands (like Střední Evropa in previous post; btw, SE's guitarist Petr Trpák played saxophone in Veselí Filištínové).
I'm sorry for relatively low quality of the recordings, but it is due the poor recording conditions back then.

[The cassette was reissued in an expanded form of 3 CD's in 2011. Some info in czech here. It's possible to order it on this address, but I have no idea if the guy behind the label is shipping abroad. Try it, if you are interested.]

Střední Evropa - "Men instead of machines live!" (1993)

Live recordings of seminal czech industrial group Střední Evropa (Central Europe). This tape offers a mixture of electronic sounds and metal percussions. Pretty addictive in my humble opinion.
The band later transformed into experimental/death/grind band M.A.C. of Mad.

Einstürzende Neubauten - "Live at Archa Theatre 7. 9. 2000"

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).

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.

Z'ev - "The Sapphire Nature" (2002)

This album contains 'SIXTEEN METAPHONIC MEDITATIONS' based on the mystical text known as the Book of Formation.
From the booklet: "I assume some people might take the whole 50'01'' on in one listening, but it's not really intended for that type of listening... these sixteen pieces are meditations, like, say, poems or haikus. I recommend listening to no more than four at time, and in their verse groupings, i. e. 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16."

Suicidal Meditations - "Suicidal Meditations" (1998)

Last time I forget to mention Jaroslav Palát among people important for Czech industrial scene.

This recording was made in Vienna at Elak Institut between February 1st and 3rd 1991.

Imagine metals being bashed and then live processed by J. Palát. Other people who helped on this record were Silvia Hromádková and Pavel Micka.
I bought the original CD-R from Silvia on one of the Czech industrial festivals I suppose back in 1998.
Enjoy the metallic noises.

Laibach - "Kapital [2x 12" LP version]" (1992)

Laibach's Kapital is IMHO one of the most underestimated albums they had ever released.
Laibach were in the their beginnings already planning, that part of their artistical expression will be one day so called disco after bruitism and nazi-kunst. It's interesting, that this was planned in 1982 (!!!), when Laibach published manifesto called "10 točk konventa" in Slovenian magazine Nova Revija.
This record marks exactly part of the planned electronic era, which began at the end of the eighties (remember some mixes from Sympathy for the devil).
Kapital contains great and visionary music which could be soundtrack of the beginning of the nineties. It's also well known, that the cassette, double LP and CD had all different mixes and arrangements.
Clicking on the word Download below you can get the vinyl version, whish is propably the best one.

Enjoy.

Great classic tape from Test Department metal bashers. Released in 1986 as a document of a european 1985 tour.

The recording has quite good sound quality. I've found it on the Internet, but unfortunately only as two track/sides file without particular songs. But uncle Jæger was so kind, that he made the track selection, so you can now play individual songs wherever and whenever you want. ;-)

Laibach - "Ein Schauspieler" (1985)

Well hullo angels.

Just wondered, if I'll be also possible to post my favourite music and voilá, I'm here. I won't make any publicity to this insane, so called musicblog, it's only up to those people who look for something and maybe will find something interesting for them.

Just keep in mind, that all files are just for information purposes only. Wherever possible, try to buy artist's records, otherwise delete the downloaded files. Keep those only for 24 hours.

Well, let's go.

First music album I want to share with you is great Laibach tape called "Ein Schauspieler", one of the milestones of 80's early industrial music, with two dutch live shows from NL Centrum in Amsterdam at 28th of March 1985 and Posthoorn kerk at 16th of February the same year. It was released by Staalplaat back in 1985. This tape is deleted today, but if you're lucky, you're able to find original copy (mainly through Discogs).

Btw, it's not hard to find downloads of this tape on the "Zwischennetz", but while making this archive, I really tried to make my best by doing the correct and exact tracking. More information (updated by myself) can by found here.

Enjoy.

2 Nova Akropola (13:17)
