Cecilia ± - The Other Side Of This Side LP

First release on Aztlan Records is a solo album of the late Cecilia ±. We know her for her work with Angel Of The Odd.
This album is spoken word/poetry. Except for one vocals-only track 'About Death' all tracks have very diverse music as background. So that makes the album an interesting listen. Also the album lasts about 30 minutes. Long enough to keep it interesting as well. Well there is one real song on it called 'Imaginary Man'.
Her 2nd effort was a cassette-only release which is the 3rd release on Aztlan. Anyone who has it?

Exile In The Kingdom - Freedom/Total Disorder 7"

Let's throw in some punk tunes as extra today.
No info to be found on the net and this 7" doesn't show up alot for sale as well.
For the Jon Langford (Mekons, The Three Johns) fans: sleeve artwork is done by him.
I found out about 2 more releases on this UK label: a 12" by the Pink Flamingoes and a 12" of The Palookas.

V/A Blackpool Rox E.P. No. 2 7"

Here's the 2nd comp. 7" on the Vinyl Drip label. Has 4 bands from Blackpool and area all within the postpunk/indie sound.
I think that only Sign Language released anything else (see post below).
Can't find any info on the other bands. Love 30 play an instrumental.
Blackpool Rox was also a punkzine done by Andy Higgins. He still runs it as Blackpool Rox II.

Got a comment from Sign Language member Laurence and he wants to upload tracks from their self-released tape if there's any interest.

Sign Language - Belief And Other Propaganda 12"

Cool indie/postpunk from this Blackpool band Sign Language. This 12" was their only release and an early one on Fire Records. There's another song 'The Killing' that appears on the 2nd 'Blackpool Rox' comp. 7" issued on Vinyl Drip Records. I'll post that one in the future.
Sign Language formed in 1981 as a punkband but moved more to a new wave/postpunk sound over the years.
The band has reformed and occasionally do some low-key gigs.

Angel Of The Odd - Hiding From Fears LP

Another great album on Aztlan Records.
Cecilia ± does vocals on this album although she wasn't an original member. Found out that Angel Of The Odd did a 7" way back in 1985 called 'Man Of Perception'. This one has male vocals.
You can read more on Angel Of The Odd on Last.FM. You can download all their songs from there as well although in low bitrate. But the early 7" is definitely worth checking out. It's a rare one as well.
Band name comes from a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe.

1. Slave
2. Sheila
3. Infinite Tunnels
4. August 8th
