Strangely Perfect

…and following on from the previous post, here’s a recently provided scan from Holly of a (now defunct) Sounds magazine (four star!) review of the vinyl LP, Waqqaz, by Crawling Chaos, back in June 1986, when I was in France. Quoting Dave Henderson; THE CRAWLING CHAOS ‘Waqqaz’ (Foetus Products F4) **** AND CHAOS came back [...]

No fuss. My old friend Jeff recently died. The track now playing was one of the last pieces we did together.  It’s Jeff’s creation  and is one of my favourite Crawling Chaos tracks.  This is a pre-Waqqaz version from a cassette that has travelled round France, been in various glove compartments and cupboard floors. I’ve [...]

Yay.  I’ve spotted another batch of file-sharing websites recently.  Like the cash-cop-out neep-heeds at Pirate Bay (see news item “Cash for Pirate Bay file-sharers” on their cash sell-out – ha,ha, so much for freedom of speech; the real motive has now panned out), these sites don’t host files, they just tell people where to go, [...]

A quick merge of video and a vinyl rip of some Crawling Chaos music as an experiment. The clicks etc have been emphasised and the equalisation of the track has also been altered to emphasize the monochrome nature of violent history. ‘Enjoy’ is probably an inappropriate word. All pictures taken from the web. (SP) Music: [...]

Oh I tripped down the street in my fashion, Arousing Ladies passion, But they misunderstand my eyes, They don’t know that I’m just after their guys. The instrumental and vocal bit after the verse above [...]

This is a reprise following some experiments, of an earlier Heysel Stadium post.  It’s a quick merge of video and a vinyl rip of some Crawling Chaos music as an experiment. The clicks etc have been emphasised and the equalisation of the track has also been altered to emphasize the monochrome nature of violent history. [...]

A quick merge of video and a vinyl rip of some Crawling Chaos music as an experiment.  The clicks etc have been emphasised and the equalisation of the track has also been altered to emphasize the monochrome nature of violent history.  ‘Enjoy’ is probably an inappropriate word.  For the full impact, play the lower video [...]

Art and creativity come in many forms but since the internet arrived with the huge explosion in community sites and the easy interchange of prior art, maybe the concept of creativity needs re-defining. Prior art like: a 20 foot oil canvas viewed in a museum a paper book like Harry Potter, read in bed, a [...]

I’ve put a live version on the Crawling Chaos site of Yoni Suchon. This is quite a powerful sound with some small differences to the version on the Waqqaz release. It’s just Jeff & me pinning back everyone’s lugholes to the back wall. It seemed to have quite a favourable reception – well it would, [...]
