The Sodality - Beyond Unknown Pleasures

CD
Label : Verba Corrige, Italy, 1994


I'm not very much into power electronics, though Con-Dom is a longtime favourite of mine. For me, "Beyond Unknown Pleasures" by Italian act The Sodality is one of the best releases in that genre, and one of my favourite records ever. That's an incredibly powerful masterpiece, when most power electronics records just use the same cheap noises, screams and provocative ideas...
That CD version includes the re-release of "Beyond Unknown Pleasures" LP (1987) and "Orgies Of Crime" 12" (1988), first released by Aquilifer Sodality.


Tracklist :

1. They Never Learn (6:22)
2. I Can't Stand A Bitchy Chick (5:10)
3. Catch The Whore (3:57)
4. I Want Your Blood (4:35)
5. The Kiddie Eater (5:17)
6. Fuck Mastery (1:55)
7. The Younger The Better (4:10)
8. Beyond Unknown Pleasures (6:06)
9. Orgies Of Crime (7:51)
10. And So You Shall (4:17)

Greater Than One - Radio Program [Radio Broadcast Series #6]

Cassette, C90
Promo material, UK, circa 1988


Greater Than One was one of the major bands of the 80s post-industrial movement. Before becoming mostly devoted to techno-like music, they made some very personal records, between danceable electronic and more experimental audio work.
That cassette was sent to radio stations to promote their early releases. It includes tracks from various cassettes and vinyl records, as well as unreleased tracks, and is an excellent introduction to their early work.

Early Greater Than One records have been recently rereleased by Brainwashed Recordings (more specifically Brainwashed Archives) :
- "Kill The Pedagogue", their very first cassette ;
- "All The Masters Licked Me", their brilliant debut LP (released by Side Effects Records) for the first time on CD, including as well the "Trust" LP ;
- "London", another great release, that includes the excellent "Dance Of The Cowards" CD as well as much more material originally released on vinyl or cassette ;
- "G-Force", that is not my favourite...
