Genesis P-Orridge And Thee Early Worm


Genesis P-Orridge

"“EARLY WORM” was pressed at Deroy Sound Services in November 1968 even though the actual single acetate copy has “copyright 1969” written by hand on the centre label. I was away at Hull University when it arrived at my home at 6 Links Drive, Solihull, Warks. So I took it back to Hull in the new year. I hand wrote the cover quotes from “SILENCE” by John Cage. It was recorded in the roofspace attic of the house during 1968 Summer and on a weekend trip home with Jesus Joheero (Joheero pronounced - Yo’ hero, i.e. Your Hero). The sleeve notes were hand written on typing paper. Xerox enclosed. Gnaire Gill was Pinglewad’s girlfriend. Joheero & Dr. Moses Tea are nicknames I gave John Shapeero. Spiderman is Ian Evetts. Jangel is my nickname for Jane Ray, my girlfriend at the time. RFM is my father, Ronald Frederick Megson. Pinglewad is my nickname for Peter Winstanley. Pinglewad is also the name of a homemade, banjo-like instrument I built that sounded uncannily like a sitar, using a shallow biscuit tin and banjo strings, with drilled nails for machine heads and a plastic shopping bag as the “skin”. The original tape still exists, as does a tape of the follow-up album that was called “CATCHING THE BIRD” and was the same people, but including the addition of Dr. Timothy Poston. However, it being old, cheap, analogue tape the oxide is probably very fragile as on other tapes from this and earlier periods. Transfer to a new master for preservation would have to be very carefully supervised as it would probably only go through the tape heads once before disintegrating." From Genesis P-Orridge.



Boyd Rice & Fiends - Wolf Pack


Boyd Rice & Douglas Pearce

"Three illustrious artists work together on this album: Boyd Rice (known for NON and his solo work), Douglas P. (Death in June) and Albin Julius (Der Blutharsch). I assume they don’t need no further introduction… So, what is the result when these three guys combine their forces? Well, a pretty good and varied album actually, ranging from acoustic neo-folk to more noisy, harsher tracks. 

The album immediately starts with a highlight, the folky ‘Watery Leviathan’, in the best Death in June tradition… Then comes’ The Forgotten father’, with a Blutharsch type bombastic musical background and Boyd Rice telling a long story, which text is completely printed in the booklet. Two great, more folky tracks follow, including the magnificent title track. A powerful track is ‘Worlds Collide’ with heavy industrial rhytyhms accompanying the whispered vocals. Then things get rather solemn with ‘Their dark blood’, which contains some creepy organ music, while ‘Rex mundi’ brings us marching drums." From Funprox.


L'Acephale - Malefeasance

"In the wake of their polarising first AB release,'Mord und Totschlag', L'ACEPHALE return with 'Malefeasance', a lengthy and complex affair that further explores their fascinations and strikes headlong into the darkest of musical vistas. The journey this time is perhaps even more academic: further ethnographic audio elements are now present, more spacious passages, a deeper approach.

By no means do L'ACEPHALE make music for the casual listener, nor will this album appeal to all, in many ways they transcend the listener's preconceived ideas of what may be expected: L'ACEPHALE are perhaps most successful at operating beyond the constraints of genre altogether, and 'Malefeasance', with its dark, dreamlike and harrowing atmospheres, is their testament."
