Big City Orchestra & Deathranch - Massacre Of The Innocents




Cassette, C90
Label : Sound Of Pig Music, US, 1985
Ripped by Schraube


The beginner may be lost in front of the dozens of cassettes released by Big City Orchestra during the two last decades... "Massacre Of The Innocents" is a good place to start. It's still one of my favourite Big City Orchestra tapes since I bought it twenty years ago.
From an old Sound Of Pig catalog : "BCO & DR collaborate on a tape that is dark & ominous, at times even orchestral, yet humorous too. A new growth and a new step. Insanity rules!"
More Big City Orchestra and Deathranch music will be posted here in the future...


Tracklist :

A1. Blue Note Blue Noise (8:22)
A2. Tu Pa Pa Au (6:31)
A3. Cannibals (15:33)
A4. Iron Works (6:38)
A5. Cerebral Edema (4:26)
A6. Blind Bat (2:32)
A7. Warsaw (1:56)
B1. Burial (3:19)
B2. Norwahl (6:25)
B3. Whatever You Want (7:20)
B4. Relax (6:23)
B5. YAMC (Yet Another Madonna Clone) (3:48)
B6. For We Love No One (4:28)
B7. Womyns Muzik (7:57)
B8. Education (3:01)
B9. Biting Through (3:20)

Wow! Fabulous that you still have this original cassette (not to mention that you purchased it 20 some-odd years ago).

We just love hearing about stuff like this. dAS is constantly amazed whenever we tour Europe with BCO that someone at a show will inevitably walk up at the end with an old cassette release in their hand with a funny story of how they came across it.

Thanks for the nice blog post :)

Thank you Ninah for your comment !
It’s always nice to hear from artists who appreciate to see their music on the blogosphere.
I’m looking forward to seeing BCO live in France one day…

In my opinion one of the most original and interesting band of all times. Experimental, surreal and self-ironic wonderfully blended together. There are many releases available on the net (see ubuibi.org) but i'm still searching the K7: "A Good Time To Start Something New". If you can help me I'll be grateful. Many thanks. Alex
