the dead C- language recordings volumes 1 and 2 (2000) ogg

Away from jazz based modes of improvisation for just an instant..

Heres an epic slab of prime narco fueled free post industrial improvised nowave neo psych madness.
This ones been out of circulation for a while ,and those familiar with dead c’s post siltbreeze releases on the bada bing, and starlight furniture labels

may need some priming in preparation for the unpleasant frisson generated by a post apocalyptic headfuck,.
Dead c developed in bored reaction to the morbund state of flying nun style orthodox new Zealand style guitar jangle pop.
Take the best improvised bits out of early sonic youth, remove the mostly boring lyrics, the pop hooks too then cross that with xenakis pieces kraanerg and persepolis, and you get an idea of the density of the sonic territory.
That doesn’t quite prepare you for the primal rhythmic, grunt punctuated by shimmer cymbal
Accents worthy of…
Its ironic that one of their best releases should be so inaccessible, 2nd hand copies of this are fetching quite some bucks on ebay.

mike cooper with-' micro megas '(aka galapagus fuck)

hi all

heres a private tape of the legendary british improvising/folk blues guitarist- mike cooper, playing with the almost unknown shortlived australian improv/drone rock collective 'micro megas' (aka galapagous fuck ,in honour of their formative influence).

this is a privately pressed cdr 10 copies or so only. recorded in the blue mountains n.s.w in 2004

all the tracks are untitled.

mike cooper-hawaian steel guitar, radio ,voice,track 1

only(its the longest track 40 minutes)

martin kirkwood- electric guitar,tapes,objects chris lines-double bass

john prendergast-cello,synth, perc. and queen mongo (slve to the slrc)- wind instruments ,objects, implements ,larynx.

for those who prefer their improv raw and unrefined,this very noisy session is for you.

it will surprise those who thought they knew mike's elegant national steel guitar style.

yes this is the mike cooper- of recedents fame

why he should have chosen to play with such a bunch of ecstato/primitive unknowns nobody knows.

nb )this recording is very grainy, and a little low- fi
