Bang Bang Machine - Geek Love



BANG BANG MACHINE
Geek Love
1993 Parallel Records

Notes :
Bang Bang Machine were a cult band from Evesham, Worcester in England. They existed from 1989-1996. They released 8 singles and 2 albums. Best known for their dark epic “Geek Love” which was inspired by the book by Katherine Dunn about a family of freaks and was voted the #1 song of the 1992 John Peel Festive Fifty. Their moving songs tackled heavy subjects.

BBM were: Elizabeth Freeth: Vocals, Steve Eagles: Guitar, Stan Lee:Bass & Lamp:Drums. Often wrongly dismissed as an one hit wonder they suffered at the hands of record companies. They were hard to pigeonhole by the media as they experimented with different styles of music. Musically they covered alternative rock, pop, dance and ambient.

02. Geek Love (Spangle Mix)

Northside - Word Of Mouth (1992 Unreleased Album)





NORTHSIDE
Word Of Mouth (1992 Unreleased Album)
1992 Factory

Notes :
Finally, one of the most wanted and most obscure record that i've ever posted on the blog, unreleased second album demos by madchester legends and one of my favourite bands ever - Northside.
Second album demos were recorded in early 1992 and set to be released same year, and the lead single ''Want A Virgin'' was given a Factory catalogue number (FAC338), but Factory Records collapsed, leaving the excellent demos unheard.
I was waiting very long time for great copy of this lost treasure, all tracks are remastered to sound better.

01. Pleasuredome
02. Got My Soul
03. Temptation
04. Lights Out (Pleasure And Pain)
05. Freak Circus
06. Mr. Brown
07. Here Tonight
08. Sidewinder
