Who remembers Sheffield band Hula? Were they visionary?

wiki says the main Union Carbide guys originally met at a UK Subs gig, right up your alley that CP!

Several second-hand shop staples of the late 80s in that Ediesta list! Many of them also Peel faves and/or featuring Freddie Wadling of Leather Nun fame. If you're after scabrous instrumental avant-grind I can recommend the Gore album btw.

lol, that bargepole album was everywhere! still have no idea what it sounds like tho

Haha yes, not to mention Buy Off The Bar, Blue For Two and UCP. If it was from continental Europe then no-one in the UK wanted it.

i remember taping a Buy Off The Bar peel session, they were okay i think? quite similar to Eton Crop iirc

that Michael Dee album looks really intriguing. it's got John McGeoch on it too, but he's only playing the sax!

had a bit of a trawl through some of the Ediesta stuff i was unfamiliar with

Ausweis were decent, very Killing Joke with Jello Biatra-ish vocals, I think I've always previously got them mixed up with Ausgang tbh

Friends Of The Family were pretty good jangle pop, and also the band that turned into Pram

Ganzheit were Bedfordshire's answer to Severed Heads, Brains To The Wall sounds like a great EP, i quite like this C Cat Trance-ish b-side:

MDMA on Ediesta morphed into Utah Saints.

i have Nort's Cool On The Loop but probably haven't listned to it since the 80s. Will dig it out.

oh wait so Utah Saints were related to Cassandra Complex? i had no idea

yup, Jez Willis was in Cassandra Complex.
