NXP – It is from zero, in zero, that the true movement of being begins (PIF 34)

This album came out as a CD-R on Go To Gate Records (Bodø, Norway) (GO TO CD 006, 2007). It is now almost out of order from the label so it is about time to make it available for those who want to get it for free. For those who understand Norwegian you can read more about NXP`s former bands at this links; Asod Dvi, Psykisk tortur and Terror for Jesus. He has been in several other projects as well ranging musically from noise/industrial to cut up experimental to punk.

As NXP (aka Nekro XP) he started as early as in 1982 with experimental stuff inspired by groups like The Mesmerizing Eye, Mothers of Invention, Einstürzende neubauten and Boyd Rice/NON. Soon he drifted into John Cage, Steve Reich and Arne Nordheim. Inspired by the possibilities to create sounds that was correct for his mood, more than those already created drove him into a dark world off music that also had a touch of early inspirations from Black Sabbath, Boney M. and Joy Division. This mix off possibilities ended up as his debut album “Café muzak” in 1984. At that time he also made music in the duo Asod dvi. For every new album he changed his input to make music so no album sounds the same, but they have that NXP stamp on the music all the way.

After more than 26 years as a solo artist he had his debut concert at the local avant garde festival NØDUTGANG this summer. A festival he had been one off several people to start and run. In between those years he had been doing things like writing lyrics for several artists including Skjit-Lars and Mitti skritti. Arranged concerts, done fanzines, several poem collections, a book about the rock and pop scene in Bodø, Norway among other things. He runs a label called Requiem Productions where you can download all his releases on that label. He has also a www only EP out on the Ambolthue Records label that you will find here. Some tracks can also be downloaded from his MySpace.

NØDUTGANG

In 2006 the first NØDUTGANG festival was held in Bodø, Norway. Among the artists was the legendary German band Faust, as well as a lot off local artists and the most famous Norwegian noisemaker Lasse Marhaug. A festival has to have a compilation CD, so Go To Gate Records made one. The same label made the CD for the 2007 festival as well. This time the headliners included S/T, KK Null, Lisa Dillan and Puma with Lasse Marhaug. A lot off local artists like; Ronny Wærnes, Balmbrain and Mouches volantes played as well. All off them and some more was on these two compilation CDs that both has sold out.

Now it is just a month to this years festival so the time is right for downloading this two compilation albums. The 2006 CD came in a limited edition with a Faust bonus DVD in 100 copys. I have not included the DVD here, sorry.

Katakombe vol. 7 (PIF 33)

Katacombe was a series off cassettes that was released by Schrei Records first and after that by Industria Tepa. About the start and Schrei i have borrowed this from Discogs;
"Schrei Records was a short lived non-profit sublabel of Graf Haufen Tapes. formed in late 1983. All tapes were available for cost price or blank tape and return postage. The main attraction was the Katacombe series which features the main players in the worldwide tape scene of experimental and industrial music, as well as power electronics (then called hardcore electronics). The idea was to make the band and projects wider known."

Vol 1 - 4 was later re-released by the Dutch label Industria Tepa. This label continued the series and released vol 5 and 6. After that nothing happened before the Norwegian cassette label Yecch Tapes released vol. 7 (MC only). Seven has been some kind off a secret that few people are aware off so, here it is on Paranoia is Freedom. After the Yecch label more or less collapsed, the Norwegian label Hypertonia World Enterprices re-released it in a remastered edition that is still available, as CD-R, audio cassette and minidisc.

Johnny Hazard - Useless (PIF 31)

Johnny Liadal from Haugesund are for the rock interested mostly known as Johnny Hazard. As this he gave out a solo cassette in 1985 called ”Useless”. It was released by two different cassette labels at the same time. The sleeves has a few differences, the biggest is that the first track on side B has different title. It is the same recording and Liadal couldn’t give an explanation to this. He said that the listener has to choose witch title she/he wants. The titles are; ”Hunger Of Man” or ”Hungry On Man”. The release got a few fanzine reviews that were off the best kind.

As Hazard he gave out the fanzines ”Døgnflue” and ”Mutasjon” early in the 80`s. At the same time he played in the punk band Blister and from 1982 to 86 in a more new wave band called Im nebel. They was a mix between Velvet Underground and Joy Division. Im nebel changed style and name in 86 to pop and the name The Colors Turned Red. In 88 they released their debut album and in December same year they broke up.

Liadal has since worked with booking on Flytten in Haugesund through out the 90`s. From 1990 to 2002 he also was a musician in the band Månen. As that on several tours and releases. On several occasions he has been DJing. In 2004 The Colors Turned Red was reunited for a jubilee concert in Haugesund. That was so fun that they stayed together for a track on a Christmas compilation and a EP the following year. In 2006 the gave out their second album “All The Way Up”. Since January 2007 has Liadal been working with booking on Folken in Stavanger.

Skjit-Lars - Gro Harlem Brundtland (PIF 30)

Yes, the former prime minister of Norway is back from France. Why? Because Norwegian newspapers has gone bananas over her cheating. First off all she doesn’t pay taxes to Norway, but she gets her pension. She uses public hospitals without paying as every taxpaying Norwegian can do, but she doesn’t live here anymore. And so it goes. She even worked for the World Health Organisation (WHO) where she had a big fight against the sugar, so where does she work now? Pepsi! All in all we don’t like so called socialists that cheat there way to the top. That’s not solidarity at all.

Back in the 80`s when she was a political rising star our local punk hero Skjit-Lars made a song about here. He didn’t like her as he sings in Norwegian; Gro Harlem Brundtland, you are shit! The song becomes so popular that it has been broadcasted on national radio P3. Skjit-Lars claim to fame is that he was the first Norwegian punk act to be released on vinyl in USA, when he was on the Maximum Rock`n`roll world punk compilation "Welcome to 1984". Since that he has done some shows and had tracks on a few compilations, including his compilation album "Shit Happens" where most off his projects/bands are included. The world still wait on the first Skjit-Lars record to be released. A bootleg tape that came out on You Bastards bootleg label is in fact the only Skjit-Lars release so far! "Shit Happens" is available through Go To Gate Records. That label has planes for a Skjit-Lars vinyl....sometime, hopefully this year, but i wouldn’t hold my breath waiting on it.
