Unknown - Death Move RMX (20??)

Mystery white label I pulled out of the sale section of Intense Records in Chelmsford last Summer and finally got round to ripping. Cat. No. is "CHINKS005" and it shares samples with Reservoir Dogs' "Death Moves", but that's all I know. Musically it's a blinder. Dark, techy garage/proto-dubstep and (I assume) way ahead of its time. Side A has a weird hum on it that I can't get rid of but sounds awesome IMO. Anyone with further info about this one please get in touch.

Noizy B - Skulled Out

Weird dubstep tune I've just finished. Distorted bass. Broken rhythms. Etc.

The Index - The Index (1967)

This is what you'd expect the first Velvet Underground record to sound like if you'd only read reviews from the time: raw, depressive, smack-addled garage rock for a degenerate, anomic civilisation. This record is bathed in an unrelenting cloud of grey noise, 60s reverb-obsession taken to its anti-logical conclusion. Their version of "Eight Miles High" bears about as much resemblance to the original as Husker Du's, taken the sweet out of the Byrd's bittersweet rendition and facing the horrors of Vietnam with blank resignation. The wintry doombeat excursions of "Rainy Starlet" and "Fire Eyes" remind me of Joy Division, with ahead-of-the-curve hippie disillusionment replacing post-punk angst. These guys were from Detroit, an industrial city in decline just like late 70s Manchester. There's definitely a similar noise-loving impulse to The Stooges, those other detroit pre-punk legends, but The Index are about drug-addled introspection rather than Dionysian release.

KMA - Cape Fear/Phantasy Trip

Just got this long-time want through the door (without paying horror prices), thanks to Noodles/DPR's GC Classics series. Anyone who calls themselves a fan of dubstep/dark garage owes it to KMA and themselves to buy this. Released in 1996 (but around on dubplate from late 95), this is, as far as I'm aware, the first meeting of UK garage (then in the speed garage era) with a darker, sub-bass driven sound and broken rhythms. When first played out, the audience apparently called for a record number of reloads, and it's not hard to hear why.
