Nightstalker - First Psychedelic Demo Tape (1991)

Artist: Nightstalker
Title: First Psychedelic Demo Tape
Year: 1991
Label: -
Cat no: -
Bitrate: 320






The first demo tape by the Greek Kings of the stoner rock. It was released with the greek 'zine "Defenders Of The Faith" and contains 4 songs that, although are live recordings, show the first elements of what will become the fantastic sound of their first record "Side FX" three years later. Try to find and listen "Side FX" and check their official site.
Note: This is the first cassette I digitize. I listened it and I think that it sounds OK. Of course the final result depends on the equipment and the quality and storage of the tape. So, please, report any sound problems and if everything is OK I have a lot of tapes to offer.

Sundome & The Night - Reverend Ripov’s Media Meltown (1994)

Artist: Sundome & The Night
Title: Reverend Ripov’s Media Meltown
Year: 1994
Label: Catweezle/Deep Shadow
Cat no: CATWEEZLE 001
Bitrate: 320





One of the best neopsych-folk albums during the last 20 years according to my oppinion. This is their third album (actually a mini LP) with six fine songs from this obscure German psych group. Their most known album was their second on Garden Of Delights label in 1993 but this is by far better than everything they did.
Neo-psychedelic with grunge and garage elements. Guitar-dominated and good. Influenced by The Doors, Litter, REM and Green on Red. Doesn’t fit well with the style of the other releases on this label. Playing neo-psychedelic, the band formed in Coesfeld in 1986, is a bit beyond the scope of this label. So far they released a single ("I ran for you" / "So the good will last") in 1991, a mini album ("Details of possession") in 1988, an album ("Reverend Ripov’s media meltdown") in 1994 and in 1993 the CD "In lean hours".

Various - A Minute To Midnight (1987)

Artist: Various
Title: A Minute To Midnight
Year: 1987
Label: Adrenalin
Cat no: ADR1201
Bitrate: 320

One more obscure and out of print collection from the fantastic Australian underground scene of 80's. Not so rare actually but I want to share it with you.
First of all, here you will find three exclusive tracks from the pre-solo days of Louis Tillet. The track that opens this compilation, under the name "Paris Green" , is the only song officially released in a record by them. Charlie Owen plays guitar. Secondly two perfect songs by the Wet Taxis not available elsewhere. Plus Celibate Rifles, Chads Tree etc in a nice bluesy record.

"A short-lived band with ex-members of HEADLEADERS. 80s Australian rock sounds, this was their first and only release. Following the release of the record they gave many concerts but soon many members changed and finally they split up." From the Wipe Out Records official site.
Of course out of print. Grab it.
