It must be years since I first saw that title listed somewhere and it has remained my all-time favourite title of any art form of any description. For that, FOPI rool. And I've never heard it or owt else by them.

IF ANY SPARK OF LIFE BE YET REMAINING, DOWN, DOWN TO HELL, AND SAY I SENT THEE THITHER!!!
Never liked early Flux. I like 'Fucking Cunts' but my copy was the One Little Indian reissue without the lyrics - kinda pointless. Still wish I hadn't sold it.
What I like almost as much as the Peni is the post-FOPI album by Flux called "Uncarved Block". Very different, Adrian Sherwood and On-U Sound people participate and the music also has a lot more melody and color.

i heard rudimentary peni for the first time this weekend. it fucked me up! the album "cacophony" woah nellie what a crazy record....
i had no idea shit like that was going on in the UK then, it totes gets written out of history....crazy talk.
― M@tt He1ges0n, Monday, 31 March 2008 18:21 (5 years ago) Permalink
seriously like i had no idea hardcore continued on in the UK....you never heard about it, esp. this which is beyond twisted art/metal/hardcore/strangeness....it would seem to fit in better with what was happening in the US, late SST and touch & go and shit...but i thought everyone just stopped at a certain point in the UK...

Hardcore punk never really stopped in the UK, it was/is mostly hated/ignored by music critics which explains why it was written out of music history, and the fanbase was pretty small compared to the USA etc, so it just carried on as an underground scene.
I can't easily pick one of these 2 bands! I was playing them both yesterday.

yeah when we were listening to it, other than being sort of blown away like what IS this kind of music? i was thinking that it sort of occupies that weird nexus of punk/hardcore/metal in a way that i thought only U.S. stuff like late black flag or die kreutzen and stuff did.....did the Bay Area thrash bands like these guys? i swear metallica or slayer or someone did....

Okay woah woah woah. Back up. I am totally flipping over Rudimentary Peni right now. Got three albums of theirs now and yowza. Don't even know where to begin with the brilliance on display here.
Do you know they even have a song called "Black President"?
Bimble's goth heart is totally beating <3 <3 <3 <3
Check out the lyrics for "The Eyes Of The Dead":
"Seeing with the eyes of the dead/Reliving the lives of the dead/Living with the lies of the dead/Dreaming (breathing??) with the cries of the dead"
I don't know if I've got all these lyrics right, necessarily, but that is some heavy, heavy goth right there, regardless, and it ought to be respected.

Also they are way, way punk rock. I don't want to give the impression they're not.
― Geese Is The Word (Bimble Is Still More Goth Than You), Wednesday, 24 December 2008 10:58 (4 years ago) Permalink
What 3 did you buy? EPs of RP, Death Church, and Cacophony are the only essentials.
I wrote my 33 1/3 proposal on Cacophony this time. Wish me luck!
― Nate Carson, Wednesday, 24 December 2008 10:59 (4 years ago) Permalink
haha awww. I'm cheering on other 33 1/3 hopefuls already haha. Yes of course I wish you luck!
The three I have of RP are Death Church, No More Pain EP (god what a title!!! I worship that shit), and the "EP's of RP" which I haven't really dug into much yet.
Where is Colonel Poo I wonder? He likes to talk about this band.
The way I feel about Rudimentary Peni is it's like early Death In June (when they were called Crisis and really punk) but like improved by three times or something.

"Being brave won't save me from the grave". Christ, even metalheads should hear this."The Death of The Author" is what it's called.
― Geese Is The Word (Bimble Is Still More Goth Than You), Wednesday, 24 December 2008 11:05 (4 years ago) Permalink
Death Church is my favorite punk album ever. Cacophony is simply one of my favorite albums ever. It's the anomaly in their catalog in that it was primarily written by Blinko about H.P. Lovecraft. Musically, it also stretches the furthest.
― Nate Carson, Wednesday, 24 December 2008 11:05 (4 years ago) Permalink
Just full on punk rock sometimes, so strange that I could get that far into a punk band. I adore them. I'll check out Cacophony, thanks.

Death Church was a 'best of both worlds' type album for metalheads who wouldn't listen to stuff this punky and punks who wouldn't listen to stuff this metally. Plus i mean "when you're in a martian church"!!!

it seems like cacophony is fucking impossible to find on vinyl. :(

Still can't choose between these 2 bands but Flux Of Pink Indians were really great at their reunion gig last year, they really nailed the guitar sound, it was exactly as tinny and awesome as on the records, and Sid from Rubella Ballet hopped on drums for Tube Disasters (twice!) as he played on the original. Never seen Peni live but they hardly ever played live AFAIK
― Colonel Poo, Friday, 19 February 2010 23:12 (3 years ago) Permalink
xp re: Cacophony
yeah the bassist hates it! Discogs has one from Australia for $40... I don't think it's even being kept in print by the band. check out the Mark Prindle reviews for more sad info.

Finally found Cacophony and it is plain great.Horrors In The Museum is such a great song.

Flux owns Rudi anyday, for one Flux was real, the drummer of Rudi ate meat, which is bullshit. So in closing, Flux owns.
