do they have the dicks' sst album up on there?
― I accidentally sonned your dome (stevie), Sunday, 22 April 2012 15:13 (1 year ago) Permalink
Wishing they'd remaster a lot of the material. Could do with upgrades on the Black Flag cds & Saccharine Trust, Minutemen, Husker du (surprised this hasn't happened on another label if it hasn't) and a few others.
Main Black Flag I listen to these days is the Marquee '84 set which a friend recorded. Only time i got to see the band live. But I think '84 was a special year in their sound and i don't think 85 or 86 match it. Line-up considerably changed somewhen then anyway.

BTW I might have posted this here already, but folks that like Ubu-ish art-rock that don't know about Slovenly need to see this:

that Stains album is easily in my top 5 "albums SST should let someone else release because they're too awesome to effectively have just dropped off the face of the earth"

II is a staggering work of genius, no folling.

Surviving You Always is MIA
That's because it was never digitised; it was never released on CD, either.
I've heard it's getting reissued on Alternative Tentacles in a few weeks - from a clean vinyl copy, since the master tapes are gone - so you might be in luck then.
That Stains album, too, will probably never see the light of day. From what I've read it was deleted months after its release in 1983. Anyone here read Razorcake? They had a feature on the Stains spread over two issues recently; I don't have them myself so I can't vouch for it.

ha me too, was about to write something snotty about how any label would be lucky to have that many great bands over the course of a decade.

lol, sorry, they're all great! but so are the leaving trains, meat pups, opal, etc. figure they're probably going in stages, according to demand.

which Saccharine Trust album should I listen to first?
― good luck in your pyramid (Neil S), Monday, 23 April 2012 10:16 (1 year ago) Permalink
They're a band of two halves - the first two (PaganIcons, Surviving You Always) are arty hardcore, the latter with a different and jazzier rhythm section. It's my favourite. The later ones (Worldbroken, We Became Snakes) are more jazz fusion style, the former being an improv live album. Still good (and a precursor to Universal Congress Of) but a different beast.
― wronger than 100 geir posts (MacDara), Monday, 23 April 2012 10:29 (1 year ago) Permalink
Am giving We Became Snakes a go, it's pretty unlike most other SST stuff I've heard, with the possible exception of the jazzier end of the Minutemen.
― good luck in your pyramid (Neil S), Monday, 23 April 2012 10:34 (1 year ago) Permalink
Not surprising, since Mike Watt produced that one!
― wronger than 100 geir posts (MacDara), Monday, 23 April 2012 11:11 (1 year ago) Permalink
A Human Certainty from Paganicons is the obvious 'hit', i reckon. great guitar sounds.
― bulge renaissance (+ +), Monday, 23 April 2012 11:47 (1 year ago) Permalink
Saccharine Trust's "Surviving You Always" is the great lost SST record, lost becuz as noted above it never was issued on cd and the label let it go out of print. The smartest decision I ever made was when I bought the whole ST collection sight-unheard in one fell swoope from my local record store. If you can find it, listen to this one first.
They are probably my favorite SST band and that's saying something. I love all four (and the live reocrd) for different reasons. Still at too, the album from 2001, "The Great One is Dead" is awesome and equally the level of their other records.
