INTRINSIC ACTION-"MANHATTAN POWER SURGE", 7, 1992, U.S.A





ia


























Intrinsic Action "manhattan power surge" 7"
1)Feel the Bite
2)Sado-Electronics
no label/self released private press red vinyl 1992
Being fans of Man is The Bastard this surprising little self released single from NYC was quite the treat. not quite power violence per say but some serious self infliction based noise/sinking body synth mayhem! white noise whiplash? a 2 piece group with a no holds bar approach to clearing out the room ala early Suicide! live at cbgb's and the building. wish we could have been to either show.
"a shock to the body, a shock to the mind!" attack the body with ocillating waves? hell yes!

HARD-CORPS-DIRTY, SURVIVAL, 7", 1984, FRANCE




HC











Hard-Corps 7"
1)Dirty
2)Respirer
Survival Records 1984
French minimal synth pop. new wave flares but with a darker tint, somewhat DAF/BIG STICK at times.
nice production and female vocals that add nice accents to the music in a treated voice as instrument style.

TRISTEZA-TEARLESS LIMA, TOUR ONLY CDR +BONUS TRACKS, 2005, MEXICO





lima






















self released by tristeza with help from bulbo of tijuana and in conjunction with Japanese tour:

there might be a common misconception that tristeza follows a certain code of musical terrain to abide by, however trim your ear hairs -these next few posts should prepare that tristeza's sound is not only beyond trivial and mostly lifeless tags such as post rock or instrumental, it can actually transcend said genre's muffin although at times true is the sword, we cannot stop lifeless quiffs or horrible luck. I know for a fact that the pretty and quiet than so loud your brain caves in formula that most "instrumental bands" explore bores this band stiff...in several instances you might add: post punk, kraut, minimal synth, ambient, drone, dub, heelgaze, prog, and musique concrete to the descriptive cataloger of tristeza's sound corral.

some music that may have influenced these recordings include:

cluster, neu, bark psychosis, chris and cosey, silver apples, loop, windy and carl, felt, dif juz, durriti column, cocteau twins, john cage, cybotron, spacemen 3, chrome, talk talk and various psychadelicks.

In addition to 16 track cd post includes 13 live and unreleased songs.

1 Intropeluda
2 Lynched
3 Creedo
4 Gypsy Moth
5 Tearless Lima
6 Kyoto Foto
7 Malabaristas
8 Babear Bath
9 Otak
10 Entry Level
11 Hyped
12 Oakdown
13 Utopiarise

15 X Is Gone
