Comin back to the guitar. I think I don´t have to say anything about those legends of modern hardcore music. The 1992 founded Refused from Sweden. Nowadays Dennis Lyxzen plays at the famous The (International) Noise Conspiracy, which last two records really suck. So back to Refused, if you have never listen to them, then you must have this record. Don´t want to say anything more about their first full length recorded, released on Startrack Records.
Refused – This Just Might Be The Truth

Veröffentlicht in HipHop, Music mit Tags epitaph, independent rap, minnesota am Juli 8, 2009 von memyselfnmaryjaneAfter having some guitar records, we now come back to some more beats. We come to, Atmosphere. Founded in Minnesota 1994 they are till today one of the most succesfull “independent” rap acts. I don´t have much to say about them, the music speaks for itself. If you want to get a taste of Atmosphere, try this 2007 released EP.
Down By Law – Fly The Flag
Veröffentlicht in Music, Punkrock mit Tags chemical people, dag nasty, dave smalley, epitaph, go kart records, Punkrock, union label group am Juli 8, 2009 von memyselfnmaryjaneFormer Dag Nasty frontman Dave Smalley founded this punkrock group in the early 1990´s. After releasing 5 full-length records on punkrock major Epitaph, they decided to go back to a indie label and released “Fly The Flag” on Go Kart records in 1999. They also released two more records on Union Label Group. There are several rumours, that they are going to record another full-length album this year. You can download one previous released song from their homepage here. Nothing else to say, solid played punkrock with sometimes a little irish touch. Enjoy

Strife – One Truth
Veröffentlicht in Hardcore, Music mit Tags earth crisis, Hardcore, snapcase, straight edge, victory records am Juni 13, 2009 von memyselfnmaryjaneAfter taking a break from writing on the blog, I´m back and brought you the on of the three first outputs of Victory Records (which have indeed the most shitty logo in the whole hardcore biz b.t.w.). Next to Earth Crisis and the great Snapcase, they re-pressed the 1994 record of the californian band Strife. Heavy down-tempo guitars, sing-alongs and (what else) straight edge lyrics are found in this great record. It´s a pitty that I was 10 by the time this record was released, cause this is one of the most influencial records of the at this time new new-school direction. Far away from nowadays macho bullshit and tough-guy metal guitars, this piece must be in your record collection. So have fun and stay clean

Trio Of Doom – Trio Of Doom
Veröffentlicht in Funk, Jazz, Music mit Tags fusion, havana jam, jaco pastorius, john mclaughlin, tony williams am März 2, 2009 von memyselfnmaryjaneThis is the only release of the power-fusion trio “Trio Of Doom”. The first and only live set was 1979 on the “Havan Jam” in the capitol of cuba. After the live set they were asked by the CBS to record their set and so 1979 back in the US they recorded it in the famous CBS studios in New York. I´m not so deep into fusion-funk, so you have to explore it for yourself. In my eyes a great record.

1. Drum Improvisation
2. Dark Prince
3. Continuum
4. Para Oriente
5. Are You the One, Are You the One?
6. Dark Prince
7. Continuum

The Mermen – Krill Slippin
Veröffentlicht in Music, Psychedelic mit Tags 60s, instrumental, mermen, surf am Februar 24, 2009 von memyselfnmaryjaneKrill Slippin´is the debut record of the 1989 founded surf/psychedelic group “The Mermen”. I have a little faible for surf instrumentals, so I can highly recommend this. It´s a well played thing, with cool tunes. Listen to this, makes you feel like 1969 again, ridin an cabrio with your surfboard along highway 1. Out in the surf/psych genre there are a tons of groups, copying the classically 60´s sound, just to fail. But this faboulus musician, made something different, the quality of the guitar play, the invention of new tunes, into this old style music makes them different. So grab it, now!
Tracklist:
1. Ocean Beach
2. Krill Slippin’
3. Neptune’s Revenge
4. Splashin’ With the Mermaid
5. Kaena
6. Over the Falls
