ARTIST: RAMLEH
TITLE: Hole in The Heart
LABEL: DIRTIER PRODUCTIONS
|
|
| DESCRIPTION: Originally issued by Gary Mundy's own Broken Flag label in 1987 on cassette, this is UK noise/industrial/power electronics wizards Ramleh's Hole In The Heart, now expanded and remastered on a double CD set, also including material from their 1987 Nerve cassette release. Here at last, is part of the "missing link" in the long and ever-evolving history of Ramleh. This material bridges the gap between the (for want of a better description) early "power electronics" material and the (for want of a better description) later "noise rock." Neither of these terms do justice to this pioneering group led by Gary Mundy. To quote Anthony Di Franco (the other half of the band these days): "...swirling phased feedback, fuzzed vocals and guitars. At the same time there were melodies, words and structures in the music, which itself consisted of very simple electronic and acoustic elements magnified to a colossal scale...." This music has a harmonic beauty, if you look for it, that all its imitators lack. Listen and you will hear the genesis of what was to follow from many '90s underground bands such as label mates and close collaborators, Skullflower. This double CD set is packaged in the classic Broken Flag stark, monochrome style. |

| DESCRIPTION: 2007 release. A compilation with exclusive interviews (Mark Stewart, Hermann Nitsch, Throbbing Gristle, Matthew Herbert etc.), short films, slide shows and music clips. Splendid packaging with a 48-page full-color booklet. "Enjoy each minute, while it casts its ray! Spring runs its course, love fades away," according to German poet Emanuel Geibel. Now, 200 years later, the era of digital archives allows Monitorpop Entertainment to bring back and savor the odd minute or two. The Berlin-based DVD label specializes in unconventional artists and themes beyond the mainstream, for example, a retrospective of Berlin's early '80s underground scene, Berlin Super 80 or cult films by NY director Amos Kollek. This compilation assembles a range of talents who have pursued their very own, often radical and inevitably, idiosyncratic paths. Among them: Viennese artist Hermann Nitsch, photographer Miron Zownir, musician Matthew Herbert, Mark Stewart, founder of the legendary punk-funk band The Pop Group and performance artist Leigh Bowery. All interviews are exclusive to this compilation and the videos and slide shows feature rare, unearthed treasures not to be seen on daily television -- stimulating distractions for all lovers of eclectic entertainment.
