MUMMIES AND MADMEN - Glow Dark in the Sun

Format: CD Label & Cat.Number: Winter Hill Recordings - WHR 007 Release Year: 2024 Note: re-issue of cassette from 1984 by this short-lived project of Price (incl. 19% VAT): €13.00 More Info CD reissue of this cassette, originally released by Coventry's Slob Tapes in 1984, featuring two lengthy pieces of garbled electronics, distant planet serrated guitar churn, basement Wobble-esque bass, primitive rhythms and the kinda spoken word that wouldn't seem out of place on a record by The Fall or The Shadow Ring. Originally recorded as a one-off, these tracks feature connections to what at the time seemed like a fervent enough local scene via the involvement of not only Slob Tapes' founder and early Attrition live percussionist Bob Oliver, but also Alan Rider of Stress and the Adventures In Reality label. Serving as another document of an incredibly fertile time in music, this album perfectly illustrates just how far some of those concerned could go with limited resources.
