Audiofiles
Label : Nostalgie De La Boue [ndlb#14], Ivory Coast, 2012


W. David Oliphant was the mastermind behind Maybe Mental (one of the most important post-industrial US bands) and Life Garden. After a long time of silence, he has recently released a collaborative CD, Beyond All Defects. But he kept on doing great music and here is a selection of some of his (mostly recent) tracks I like most.
All tracks previously unreleased except "Will" (by Maybe Mental) that appeared on "Dry Lungs III" compilation LP (Placebo Records, 1987).


Tracklist :

1. Will (3:46)
2. Gantha (5:25)
3. Wrong Wind 2010 (4:18)
4. Arishtha (7:44)
5. Svabhada (4:42)
6. If I Had Three Of Maybe Four (11:37)
7. Anuvaaram (3:20)

A Message From Andrew McKenzie

Posting some Andrew McKenzie records, I knew there was a risk of seeing him ask to remove the posts as he often did on other blogs sharing The Hafler Trio material - though I made the choice, as I always try to do, to post only long time out-of-print releases (he has also expressed his views here). His message has arrived but this time this is not only a request to remove the links but also a kind of proposal. Feel free to answer him in comments. Here is the message :


I am the copyright owner in the recorded work referenced here: I have never given, nor have I ever been asked to give, permission to include this material in any way in this form.

I would ask, respectfully and politely, that you remove this as soon as possible.

I know that some people find this absurd, even though I have indicated many times my reasons for this publicly. I also have been insulted publicly simply for making my wishes known. I have also seen people try to justify their actions by stating that they are, by posting such material in a manner against my express wishes, 'helping' me, and 'doing me a favour'.

some people do listen, and remove the material - most times, however, it is clear that they do so out of fear of legal action, and not their own conscience.

so. I have a proposal for an alternative situation, one which will help everybody concerned. if enough people gather together who wish to post this material and *really* help me, I will reciprocate. I and the organisation to which I belong are looking for an agent. details of this can be found at http://www.simplysuperior.org. if we are sucessfully provided with one, we will not only pay the person leading us to that situation, but actually give you a release to post as far and wide as you please, with no restrictions. moreover, this will be ONLY available through your channels.

this is a sincere offer, and made in the spirit of genuine desire for co-operation. I will be pleased to answer any questions directed to me away from this channel.
