Autumn Cathedral - Asleep Within Waves LP


A really great album of a band I know next to nothing about. They started around 1986 in San Francisco. A second album 'Amethyst Figurine' was recorded in 1991 but never released.
Seems that they took the bandname from a 17 Pygmies song. Great atmospheric wave.
This was released in 1989 on cult label Epithet Records out of Stanford CA. Their most wellknown release is the 'Trust' 12 of Mute Angst Envy.
I only have another record on this label which is the 'Spiritual Vision' LP of Crimson Ivy.

Autumn Cathedral on MySpace. You can buy this album and the unreleased one there as well. As MP3 I guess.

note: tracks 4 & 5 and tracks 8 & 9 ripped as one track.

The Laughing Mothers - Tunnel/Cats Cradle 7"


Here's another obscure one. The Laughing Mothers were a UK postpunk band. Don't know exactly from where in the UK. They don't like to be called goth although they appear in Mick Mercer's Gothic History book.
Another track appeared on 'The Timebox' comp. album which also featured The Fifteenth, Thatcher On Acid, Blyth Power, ... The Timebox seemed to be a venue in London back in the day.

They have a Myspace page here. There are some unreleased songs you can listen to.

IMPORTANT!! the tracks are labelled incorrectly. Seems that the labels were printed in reverse. So 'Tunnel' should be 'Cats Cradle' and vice versa. Thanks to Robertzombie for pointing that out.

Grey March - s/t MLP


Don't know anything about this band. Grey March were from Baltimore, MD.
Some tracks are indierock with a 60's influence, others sound much darker.
Caught my interest when Goutroy was selling this. Could locate a copy somewhere else.

V/A Awaken LP


A very interesting and diverse compilation released on a small label called Aztlan Records. Think it was run by Cecilia ±.
Factory describe themselves as Eraserhead-ian industrial angst.
Killerwail formed in 1984 and played with Minutemen, Wall Of Voodoo, The Cult,... Their second song reminds me of The Ex.
Anna Homler is a Los Angeles based performance artist who sings in a found language of tone and feeling. She collaborated with alot of artists, even in Europe. Check her entry at Discogs for more info.
Cecilia ± released an album of her own in 1986 and also did vocals on the Angel Of The Odd LP. Both also released on Aztlan and will be posted later. She sadly passed away some time ago.
Not alot to be found on Lizzie Wilcox. It's like spoken word over self-created music.
Twist Of Fate delivers 2 indie rock songs.
The Vampyre Garden is the goth band here.

The insert is included in the file. The tracks of Cecilia ± are ripped as one track.
