17 Pygmies - Jedda By The Sea LP

Don't think I've seen this one on any blog lately. Here's the first full lenth of 17 Pygmies and second release. The first is the Hatikva 12". Has been re-released on CD in the 90's but is out of print now.
Can be considered as a Savage Republic (who split up for the first time) album as 2 members are responsible for a lot of tracks, Bruce Licher and Mark Erskine. And Robert Loveless and Philip Drucker were also Savage Republic members. Actually tracks 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 & 12 were originally performed by Savage Republic, but never released before.
A lot of variety on the album: ethereal pop to tribal percussion to soundscapes.
17 Pygmies are still going and have a myspace page here.
My copy is the German pressing. Originally released on Resistance Records. Sleeves of the original issue are all handpainted.

Jedda By The Sea LP (Rough Trade Germany-RTD 27-1984)
1. Words Never Said
2. Waiting To Arrive
3. Still Waters
4. Moment In Ceylon
5. Jerusalem
6. By The Sea
7. Last Grave At Dimbaza
8. Lazarus
9. The Living
10. Hollow Lands
11. Tropical Grasslands
12. Nocturne

Yeah Yeah Noh - 12"s

Let's get back to some more In Tape releases. My second post on Yeah Yeah Noh. Posted the singles comp. 'When I'm A Big Girl' before but no comments left although it has been downloaded over 200 times.
The first one is the 'Another Side To Mrs. Quill' 12" and the title track is one of the best songs they ever did. 'Magic Roundabout Mix' is actually a remix of the title track. Weird to see a band like Yeah Yeah Noh doing such thing.
The 'Temple Of Convenience' 12" is the last release of the band before they broke up. Track 4 (a cover of The Beatles' song) is not by Yeah Yeah Noh but by 60's band The Psychedelic Filberts. They discovered the tape in the cellars of Barkby Road Studios. This song was recorded live in Hamburg and Yeah Yeah Noh liked it and wanted more information on The Psychedelic Filberts.
Side B of the 12" is one track divided in three parts. You can hear John Peel as they used samples of his voice while he announced Yeah Yeah Noh in his show.

Another Side To Mrs. Quill 12" (In Tape-ITTI 020-1985)
1. Penetration
2. Wendy's In The Woods
3. Another Side To Mrs. Quill

5. Jigsaw

Children's Hour - 7" & 12"

Another contribution from Lo Spettro Di Se Stesso. Never heard of this New Zealand band before. Children's Hour play excellent postpunk. The 'Ya! Ya! Ya!' 7" and 'Flesh' 12" are the sole releases of the band although there are other songs that appeared on compilations. Here the entry on Children's Hour found on Discogs:
Whilst Chris Matthews was struggling within the pop-confines of the Prime Movers, Johnny Pierce (bass), Grant Fell (guitar) and Bevan Sweeney (drums) were forming their own sound as Children's Hour. More intense and experimental than what the Headless Chickens eventually became (Children's Hour were essentially the chooks in their original incarnation), they fused electronic and analog instrumentation, and wrote thoroughly brooding rock music that actually went rather unnoticed. Matthews (vocals / guitar) eventually joined the trio in 1983, and it was this line-up that released two eps on Flying Nun - and went on to tour New Zealand. Fell left for Australia, but after a short-absence, the group eventually reformed as the International Headless Chickens, and with Fell back in line (and the 'international' dropped), the Headless Chickens went on to become one of New Zealands' most successful bands. In 2005 the core remaining members (plus failsafe's Rob Mayes) reconvened for a handful of reunion performances, playing a swag of material both old and new, released as 'Looking For The Sun' - as part of Mayes archival 'retrogenic' series.
Bassist John Pearce committed suicide in 1986.

Flesh 12" (Flying Nun-FN C60-1983)
1. Caroline's Dream
2. Go Slow
3. I Know Where She Lies
4. Slaughter House
5. Looking For The Sun

Ya! Ya! Ya! 7" (Flying Nun-KID 001-1984)

New link for Flue - Vista LP

I decided to put up a new link for the Vista LP of Flue. Have seen on my statcounter that some people land on that page who are probably disappointed that they can't listen to this album. It's not easy to find and out of print for the moment. Don't know who decided to block the initial link on mediafire, but if an ex-member has a problem with the album posted, please let me know in the comments section. Otherwise I think it's just a troll who likes to annoy bloggers.

Marc Riley With The Creepers - Fancy Meeting God ! LP

Someone asked for some more Marc Riley. Here's the second album and one of their best. While the early records still had a big The Fall influence, this one shows more a sound of their own.
'Fancy Meeting God' is the last release as Marc Riley With The Creepers. After this one (and a line-up change) they shortened their name to The Creepers. Don't have any of the records released as The Creepers.

Here some links for more info:
