KINDER SURPRISE

So back in 1986 I remember eating as many kinder eggs as my mom would buy me (which was not very often as she said they were a wast of money). The reason for this was so I could get my hands a figurine of the Mexico 86 world cup mascot. Without the luck of Charlie Bucket I failed in finding one.

Anyway a while ago I did find the theme tune from the Mexico World Cup Grandstand in a local chaza. I don't remember it at the time (some of my older amigo's from this blog may remember it). It's a BBC classic. Didn't the BBC commission good tunes back in the day?

Produced by Heads who were John Salmon, Mark Campbell and Bruce Talbot. Haven't got any more information but I'm guessing these guys have produced other crackers.




Aztec Lightning (Theme from BBC World Cup Grandstand) - Heads

DREAMING OF TANGERINES

I recently saw Ratatat support CSS at the Astoria in London. They’re a New York outfit consisting of Mike Stroud on guitar and Evan Mast on synthesizer. Their wall of atmospheric sound reminded me very much of the German synth pioneers Tangerine Dream, (with a bit of Iron Maiden for good measure) who I had seen play at the Astoria a few years previously. In fact that was the only other gig I’d been to at the Astoria. Therefore it's fitting that I dedicate this blog to an old and new form of atmospheric/electronic sound.

Ratatat - Montanita

Tangerine Dream - Cloudburst Flight (Great breakdown in this track)

My First Post

Killing Joke

Killing Joke are one of the most significant English bands to have emerged from the post-punk era of the late- 1970's/early 80's. Their 'Nervous System/ Turn To Red' EP (1979) combined primitive punk rock mixed with funk and in the case of 'Turn to Red', a more dub/reggae style. In 1980, Killing Joke released their self titled debut album. On the US release they included the track 'Change', which James Murphy intrestingly and obviously enough based the LCD Soundsystem single 'Losing My Edge' on.

Jibz Saturday Rippin' #4

PANTHERS IN THE SKY?!
Yeah, it's tuesday. New wave punksters the skids doing a really high leftfield dubby synth-pop thing from '79. Once again, forgive the snap crackle & pop hissy fit... after listenin through phones the rip was really poor about 10db too much gain cos i was a bit tipsy so here it is with a bit more fidelity.

The Skids - Aftermath Dub

FRESH BLOOD

Young fresh talent from France Bobmo on the Institubes label home to other quality glitchy electro artists such as Surkin & Para One. This guy is well worth keeping an eye out for, if you like this go out and buy his music.
