PC LIVE @ IROKO CLUB (ITALY) 21/2/2009

SLUG and THREAT live audio visual transmission salerno, saturday 21 february 2009 - iroko club piazzale largo campo, salerno, italy. first appearance in italy - expect customised audio and visuals.

"Tipico caso di gruppo che "ha seminato, ma non ha ricevuto il raccolto", i Portion Control insieme a Cabaret Voltaire e Legendary Pink Dot stanno alla base del suono di di gruppi come Front 242, Skinny Puppy e Front Line Assembly, ampiamente onorati anche da gruppi più "mainstream" come Depeche Mode, Orbital, Prodigy. Nati nel 1980, la prima fase della loro carriera dura fino al 1987 e vede all’attivo ben sette album e cinque Ep dove in pratica tutti i territori dell’electro-industrial vengono toccati, e dove compaiono molte caratteristiche che poi ritroveremo nei gruppi sopracitati: i primi album presentano le sperimentazioni e la voce che poi saranno di Ogre e cevin Key e cose vicine a SPK, Coil, Throbbing Gristle , altri successivi un discorso più lineare caro ai Front Line Assembly, così come alcuni pezzi che avrebbero spopolato nelle discoteche dell’epoca (The Great Divide tra tutti), se non fosse che al gruppo interessava solo sperimentare ogni possibilità della musica elettronica in quello che loro hanno sempre chiamato "hard rhythmic electronic". In seguito sono riemersi nel duemiladue grazie alle possibilità di autogestione offerte da internet e hanno piazzato sul mercato un paio di album e alcune uscite online che dimostrano come utilizzando i tanto bistrattati (dai puristi) softwares è possibile ottenere un suono old school e decisamente duro, naturalmente sapendo come fare e quali usare, e allo stesso tempo hanno offerto un ottimo esempio di come si può fare ebm moderna e sperimentale lontana da ogni clichè sia nostalgico, sia legato alle mode del momento."

"this was the first time i organized filming a show in multi-cam. to be precise, FLAs headliner show was. recording the pc set was just an unprepared optionally added test kinda thing, so this is not representative for the professional awesomeness that mega mind has become since. however i had those 2 camera takes of the show and worked out something from that. here you are, enjoy, and fuck all the industrial elite of arrogance and its members, most especially fledge for getting on the guest list of the show thx to me and not puttin me on the gl of his fla aftershow party in return. this isnt perfect, this is a bootleg, this is out there for everyone else."

MORDANT MUSIC PRESENT MR MAXTED

After nearly 9 months dormant, MM today announce the release of a brand new album from fresh Mordant recruit Mr. Maxted. 'Lives & Privacy (94-89)' collects 9 tracks from the analog synth archives of this Roehampton-based meddler on a beautiful grey vinyl platter.

Artist: Mr Maxted

Title: 'Lives & Privacy (94-89)'

Label: Mordant Music

Format: Grey vinyl album in PVC sleeve with corrugated stiffener & A5 insert

Cat. No: MM022

Release Date: 4th August 2008

Tracks: Conditioned / People I Know / He Is Not Complete / We Must Understand / Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah / Consequence / It Never Works (When You Want It To) / Perfect / Upon Satellite (Edit)

Housed with a black corrugated stiffener & A5 'kit list' insert inside a PVC sleeve, this album is available now from this site ahead of other retailers at a series of prices according to location. If you're UK-based, you can buy the LP for £13, European customers can expect to pay £14, and it's £15 to punters residing anywhere else. More info: www.mordantmusic.com

'Lives & Privacy (94-89)' brings together nine archive minimal synth tracks from the vaults of Roehampton's feral analog spectre Mr Maxted...residing somewhere in the sullied vein of early Portion Control/Severed Heads, these late eighties/early nineties tape emissions have only just seen the light of day...the deft lilting lines of 'Consequence' and 'People I Know' really hit the spot here in the Nesst and that's why MM decided to spank the vinyl Jodrell again...this album is full of depth, mood and mirth and we urge you to snap the fucker up before Scandinavia gets wind of it.
