HELIOS CREED.

It was hard for me to pick which one of Helios' insanely trippy albums to posts first here at the L-R V, but seeing as how I just got this recently (and for $4.98, no less!) I figure I'd share the bounty with you all.
You pretty much know what you're getting when it comes to Mr. Creed's work, and for me, he can do no wrong. I enjoy each of the 8 solo albums of his that I own pretty much equally. This one - like many of the rest - is full of brooding starkness, trippy riffing, effect-heavy vocal tracks, etc.
Even a straightedge dude like myself can get down with this.

(People should pretty much hang up the term "space rock" - unless you are referring to Helios)...



Helios Creed - Chromagnum Man

ZYGOTE.

While I wasn't a huge Amebix fan (suprised to hear that, aren't you?), Zygote came next for most of the members of afforementioned band and they fucking kick my ass.
Wish they would have lasted longer than they did.
Amazing fucking album!





Zygote - A Wind of Knives


Now playing: .Nema - Sometimes

ENGLISH DOGS.

"Where Legend Began" is a record I bought for $3.98 new at some really bad mall record chain store when I was like in 8th. or 9th. grade living in a small town in Mid-Michigan. I'm pretty sure I bought a Devo record and a Ted Nugent that day as well.

This was probably the only "punk rock" record in the store; most likely wasn't supposed to be shipped to that store or something, but I bought it and it was totally NOT what I expected it to sound like. I was thinking something along the lines of G.B.H. or Anti-Nowhere League as to what it might sound like.
All my friends hated it, but I still love it.

Enjoy...

Now playing: Medication Time - Robocop 3000

HAMMERHEAD.

Here's "Ethereal Killer", the greatly underrated first album from one of the best bands to ever come out of Fargo, ND.






----------------
Now playing: Happy Flowers - Let's Eat the Baby (Like My Gerbils Did)

CHERUBS.

One of the dirtiest, harshest, ugliest records I own.

There will never be another band that could come close to the racket these guys made, and like all good things, shit like this can't last forever.
They went out at the top of their game and boy do I miss this band...





(Wow, look I made a new D/L button!)
