  • ultramafic coverUltramafic – Sonny Vincent (self released)

     Ultramafic: An igneous rock with a very low silica content and rich in minerals such as hypersthene, augite, and olivine.

    This is a short run of 12-inch vinyl, each copy with its own bespoke, hand-painted artwork. They were put together for a series of art exhibitions in Switzerland, New York City, Holland, Germany and France about 10 years ago. It will look great on your wall and sound devastating on your turntable.

    The music was recorded by Sonny Vincent and various bands from 1976 onwards – much of it in tiny studios while on endless tours of Europe and the USA. Some of it has been heard in other versions.

    The line-ups include Vincent’s Max’s and CBGB staples, Testors, as well as members of Rocket From The Crypt, Sonic Youth, The Damned, the Stooges, Dead Boys, the Velvet Underground. There’s even an appearance by Ernie Knapp, a guy who drummed for Charles Manson as well as the Beach Boys (I shit you, not.)  Don’t expect polish. It’s all uncompromisingly raw, but always passionate.

  • not like everybody elseNot Like Everybody Else – The Damned (earMusic)

    Growing up in Sydney in the ‘70s, betrothed to the rise of punk music, you and most of your fellow travellers understood that this music had roots.  It did not appear out of vacuum.  It was a folk art built upon a tradition.

    While folk art maybe sneered upon by some, it creates a sense of community and shared history.  And punk rock is counter culture.  It celebrates the outsider by counter-intuitively placing the outsider within the shared myth of the outsider.

    Humans love our smoke and mirrors.
