Cortex - You Can't Kill The Boogeyman LP

I've seen someone asking for this one and here it is. Thanks to Cranio for offering this one to me.
Must admit that I didn't know this band too well. They were from Sweden and already active since the early 80's. Had Freddie Wadling in the band who also played with The Leather Nun for a while.
The 'You Can't Kill The Boogeyman' LP is the second album of Cortex. This one was released in Sweden on Radium 226.05 but also issued in the UK on Ediesta. After this one came the live LP 'Live In Urania' in 1990.
Track 9 originally from Frank Zappa.

V/A From Montreal... 7"

I already uploaded this for Fritz so I can post it here as well.
Fritz was interested in hearing the Condition songs on this one. Some members of this band later formed The Pallbearers who released the superb 'Phantom Pain' album. Condition are described as urban-primitive swing on this compilation. They have a cassette album 'Dirty Business' on OG and 'Mumbo Jumbo' LP on Psyche Industry.
Next band is Deja Voodoo. Two guys making some lo-fi primitive garage rock. They are also the people behind the OG Records label.
Terminal Sunglasses are more indie. They also released an LP on OG Records 'Wrap Around Cool' in 1985.
American Devices are an instrumental band. The only other known track of theirs appears on the classic 'Primitive Air Raid' comp. LP on Psyche Industry.

V/A From Montreal... 7" (OG Records-OG3-1983)
1. Condition - It's Too Hot Too
2. Condition - Wet Shoes
3. Deja Voodoo - Someone In My House
4. Deja Voodoo - Rock Therapy
5. Deja Voodoo - Cemetery
6. Terminal Sunglasses - My Cat Got Run Over By A Bus
7. American Devices - Hitler Was A Jew

V/A Ultraviolet LP

Here's a nice compilation album released in 1989. If you dig comps. like Viva Los Angeles 1 & 2, or The October Country then you'll probably like this one as well.
The first two bands are the most wellknown. The Abecedarians deliver a live track. Their first release 'Smiling Monarchs' was released on Factory in 1985.
Next is Drowning Pool. Their song is exlusive to this release.
Death Ride 69 is another band that is better known although it is the first time I heard them. Their song can also be found on 'The LP' LP on Flipside.
The other bands are mysteries to me. I found out that Man From Missouri released a 10" flexi as well. 3d Picnic released some CD's in the early 90's (if it's the same band).

V/A Ultraviolet LP (Sketch Records-SRLP01-1989)
1. Abecedarians - Laugh At Yourself (Live)
2. Drowning Pool - Edith, Hold Out Your Hand
3. 3d Picnic - In Their Eyes
4. X-1 Whiteman - During Moss
5. Electric-Cool-Aide - Blue Roses
6. Death Ride '69 - Green Gel Blue
7. Homeland - Eleven Is Waiting
8. Man From Missouri - Tundra
9. Prison Of Socrates - Sesso Fantasma

Ides Of March - In Winter's Land 7" / On The Face 12"

Here's another collection of one of those 'promising' wave bands from the UK. Don't know where they exactly came from but both records were released on Swindon's RS Records.
My copy of the 12" came with some promo stuff. Melody Maker describes them as The Cure meets The Cult. Sounds writes: '...a cracking rock band in the rugged tense mode of Killing joke and New Model Army'.
On the 'In Winter's Land' 7" you can hear the band looking for their own sound, while the 'On The Face' 12" is way better due to a better , fuller production.
Although the 7" was released first it carries the RSA 3 number, while the 12" carries the RSAT 2 cat. number.
Members are:
Eddie Knight - Guitar
Rick Knight - Drums
Paul Wilson - Vocals
Paul Witney - Bass


In Winter's Land 7" (RS Records-RSA 3-1986)
1. In Winter's Land
2. Civilian


On The Face 12" (RS Records-RSAT 2-1986)
1. On The Face
2. Seranade
3. Talalow (La Whore)

Meat Joy - s/t LP

Best wishes to everyone!
Here's a request of Aesop of the Cosmic Hearse blog. A pretty rare LP of Houston, TX band Meat Joy. They also appear on the 'Metal Moo Cow' comp. and 'Bands On The Block' comp., both on Matako Mazuri Records.
1500 copies pressed and each copy has a different sleeve (the scan of mine didn't work out well). You can check discogs for another sleeve.
Can't find any info on them. The record is a very weird one. Has strange home recordings as interludes, some acoustic guitar songs as well as some more punky tracks. 'Proud To Be Stupid' deals with the stagnant hardcore movement with it's own rules and intolerant behaviour. 'Slenderella' is about the so-called ideal looks that women have to strive for.

I scanned all the inserts that came with the record, except for the laundry bill which isn't that relevant.

Meat Joy LP (Flesh & Blood-1984)
1. Prelude In C-Flat (The Storm)
2. Another Pair
3. Brothers & Sisters
4. Call Black
5. My Heart Crawls Off
6. Proud To Be Stupid
7. Caleb In The Tub
8. Pleasure Time
9. Slenderella
10. The Last Round Up
11. Matthew 10:36
12. Godpleaser
13. I'm Sorry But I Do
14. For When Love Is Irrelevance
15. Ich Bin Nur Ein Schauspieler
16. Final Curtain

It's not September but it's damn cold over here in Belgium for the moment.
Cold September was a new wave/deathrock band from Hollywood, CA. I didn't find any info but drummer Walt Phelan also played in punkband RF7.
There seem to be some bands this day with the same name but have nothing to do with this band.
The album was released on Azra Records, mostly known for releasing metal stuff, although the 12" of punkband Funeral was also released on this label.

They appear on a few compilations as well like 'The History Of Jazz' tape, 'On-Slaught No. 4' tape and 'SNX' 4xLP.

Effect Of Excess

Two - 2 X 2 12"

Two were formed in 1981 and were from West Drayton, a small town near London. They were a male/female duo although a third member played sax on this one.
Their first release is the 'Trace Of Red/Regime' 7" on Future Records. Then came the 'Waiting For Winter' 12" and the 'Dreaming Spires' LP, also on Future Records.
The '2 X 2' 12" is the band's last release, and this one was issued on Reflex Records (And Also The Trees label).
This 12" sounds more experimental than the more synthpop oriented 7". It's mostly an instrumental affair.
Never heard the other 12" and LP. All their records are quite hard to find nowadays.
Capa Nostra Syndicate posted the 7".
Tracks 1 & 2 ripped as one track. Track 4 has a news clip in Dutch dealing with a terrorist attack.

2 X 2 12" (Reflex Records-12 RE 7-1984)
1. Autumn Calling
2. Walechsa
3. Castles In Syria
4. Linen
