Am I right to believe that very few o.s. Heads fans are aware of their earlier material, from Since The Accident backwards to Blubberknife (but not the crap Ear Bitten before that one)? This early Heads phase is pure gold, my friends.

Also, those old Ink records are not too hard to find used.. at least in the states, probably even easier in the UK, Australia, and/or NZ.

The most danceable Severed Heads album is probably Rotund For Success, which is the only album to get an LTM reissue. So that's your best bet. Then again, there's nothing like "Dead Eyes Opened" on it.. the Racic produced "All Saints Day" comes closest, but it sounds closer to late 80s New Order dance type stuff more than anything else (which isn't a bad thing!).
Severed Heads aren't a dance oriented type band.. they just have/had a dance facet (as of 1983) that's part of their overall strange, beautiful architecture.. if that makes sense. I could easily imagine an indie rock cover tribute album for Severed Heads just as easily as a techno tribute album for Severed Heads.

Did I mention that Since The Accident is one of the greatest albums ever?

ronan - i thnk nervous is good. i always get a little nervous before i play. i'm not however looking forward to not beng able to smoke when i'm playing.
― stirmonster (stirmonster), Sunday, 3 April 2005 08:36 (nineteen years ago) link
yeah the smoking thing will be weird, the door is very near the dj booth but that's not much good while you're playing. I dunno, as the DJ I wonder what would happen if you lit up.

Big Severed Heads fan (well, up to Gigapus, at least). "Rotund for Success" is their most accessible, beginner-friendly album, I suppose, but I always preferred the experimental noise of their earlier albums ("Blubberknife", "Since the Accident", and "City Slab Horror"). Favs include "Gashing the Old Mae West", "Acme Instant Dehydrated Boulder Kit", "Dead Eyes Opened", "Goodbye Tonsils", "Harold and Cindy Hospital", "Greater Reward", and "All Saints Day" (that song shoulda been huge!).

Holy crap. Some genius has put their Rock Arena in-studio from 1986 up on Y0uTooB :

giving the 'commerz' comp a spin at work today (due to no-one else being around, hah). all that sped-up tape fuckery at the end of 'halo' is pretty inspired.
i thought i'd snagged a copy of the joakim's 'dead eyes opened' edit recently from tigersushi but they said they'd listed it on the website by mistake and didn't actually have any copies left. ;__;

I wonder why disc 2 of ComMerz never got released on emusic? I dloaded half of 1, 2 never came out and now I think 1's been yoinked as well :(
― one art, please (Trayce), Tuesday, 14 April 2009 05:31 (fifteen years ago) link
vol 2 is there now. i thought vol 1 came down because it was the wrong album but they never bothered putting up the right one

did anyone here ever pick up the adenoids box?
Nar i was wrong, 2 was always up and its 1 that was never available. Which is a bugger cos i dont have much of their older stuff. Except for a mangled casette copy of "Clifford", somewhere.

over at a friend's house rehearsing for a show, I see a copy of 'Since The Accident' on a chair and mention that I've always wanted to hear the early stuff and he just looks at me and says 'I don't understand how you haven't heard the early stuff'. I mention 'Well I have a copy of Cuisine and love it' and he just tells me to be quiet, goes to the shelf, pulls the other 1983-84 CD 'City Slab Horror' off and gives them both to me
so... yeah, okay, this band.
and they did -not- have a sampler? how did they do this much collage & rhythmic collage with just a delay unit? control voltage & filtering on a 4-track? I mean yes Brian's comment upthread about Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire spot the precedents neatly but this band pretty much wrote the earliest formal book on the way sampling was later implemented into industrial dance music, only it's far better, weirder and more musical than most of everything that followed
is that 4 CD set of 77-81 out yet?
― Milton Parker, Wednesday, 3 February 2010 01:09 (fourteen years ago) link
they were definitely using a sampler by the mid-late 80s, but i don't know exactly when they made the switch.
the cd box isn't out yet, not sure exactly who's doing it but i've assumed ascension records is because the did the M2 box..
