The Ullulators - Banging Bones (better days) 1995

The Ullulators were one of the bands that emerged during the early 80s uk free festival/squat scene, and along with the Oroonies, Omnia Opera,Webcore, Treatment, Magic Mushroom Band, Mandragora, Nukli and Ozric Tentacles created a loose underground family/network. Formed in 1985, as a side project of Gavin Griffiths of Ozric Tentacles, many of the band members also played in The Thunderdogs, house band for Circus Archaos.

Banging Bones was their sixth cassette album released via Better Days Distro & sold at gigs. Their music was always more diverse, mixing heavy spacey dub, trippy psychedelic funk, feverish cosmic freakouts and lysergic soundscapes... these tapes (‘Beyond The Gates Of Ull’, ‘Share A Clam with the Ullulators’ ‘Monads of Mangonia’, 'Yet Nam-Lai ') were heavily influenced by dub reggae & eastern melodies but still had a strong spacerock flavor to them. Their debut vinyl album, "Flaming Chaos" was released by Demi Monde in 1989 which increased an already growing cult following. Contrary to other accounts, The Ullulators played for many years after their surpposed demise, playing free festivals in the southwest every summer.

Parliament, Funkadelic & P-Funk All Stars - Dope Dogs

Dr. Funkenstein, Bootsy, Starchild, and the rest of the all stars return for George Clinton's most focused album of the '90s. For me it's also one of his best albums & slams a barrage of P-Funk down your throat without even giving you the opportunity to swallow. It feels like a live jam, whether it's the psychedelic funk freak-outs or the more laid back soul-funk numbers, and the Spearhead style hip hop is simply perfect for a concept album about dogs, the government and drugs, and how they're tied together in one huge nationwide conspiracy.

Greg Ginn - Dick

Ginn's jangly defiance has never been assimilated. Dick was released in 1993 by cruz records & stakes much of the same sonic turf: murky vocals, spluttering guitars, and battering rhythms that naturally recall Ginn's former pioneering band, Black Flag. However, Dick giddily mixes improvisation incorporating terse outbursts of growled vocal, scattershot blues-punk and fuzzed-out funk. Greg Ginn has recently returned to recording, with new releases on SST by Gone and Mojack, along with his new bands, Jambang & Greg Ginn and the Taylor Texas Corrugators.

Storm And Stress - Under Thunder and Fluorescent Lights (re-up)

Storm And Stress are stepping out and deconstructing what a guitar, bass and drums are capable of. Ian Williams of the disciplined prog-heavy outfit Don Caballero takes complex math-rock song structures apart and puts them back together with mismatched parts and missing screws. Beefheartian free-jazz drums fall down stairs. Guitars are plucked and strangled. Tentative vocals mumbling absurd William Burroughs cut-up lyrics. The bass eschews its traditional role of rhythm keeper and merely calms the proceedings with tones and colors. The album is more quiet than noisy, and could almost be relaxing if it weren't for the unsettling feeling it provokes, as if you are suffering from heatstroke and hallucinations in the desert.

The Red Krayola - Amor and Language

The sound of this mini-album is about as gentle as '90s experimental rock gets, and not without its pleasing riffs here and there. But the non-linear lyrics, odd electronic buzzes, and mild guitar dissonances effectively prohibit this from being viewed as a sellout of any sort. It's music for open-minded fans who don't necessarily want to be assaulted while they free-associate!! Released by Drag City in 1995 on 12''/CD, Red Krayola on this occasion were consuelo & meme, tricia donnelly, john elder, david grubbs, george hurley, margo leavin, steve linn, sharon lockhart, john mcentire, albert oehlen, jim o'rourke, stephen prina, franz schnaas, alex slade, margo leavin, mayo thompson, tom watson, christopher williams, rachel williams, steven wong.
