World Domination Enterprises - Classic or Classic?

Keith Dobson was in Here & Now. and (Planet) Gong!

I was talking about this:

Here & Now have 23 albums listed on discogs btw!

23 !
having listened to the one cd i have i think i am good.
thank goodness he moved onto WDE.

Sorry, only a mere 19 of them are albums

I also like their song on the Folk In Hell cassette compilation, which is another link between Here & Now and the punk/post-punk world - most of the other bands on that are anarcho-punk (the Mob, Steve Lake) or DIY post-punk (Instant Automatons etc). Mark Perry's on that as well. My copy is probably unofficial, on BBP tapes, an anarcho label, the original was on Fuck Off Records but is rare as fuck.

I love the No Comment song on that, sounds like some lost Flying Nun band or something

I saw Here & Now live several times when I was a teenager. I like the records but they really were best in a live setting and their live tapes was my preferred way to listen to them.

'Give And Take' is a good album but 'Fantasy Shift' is perhaps their finest and never fails to lift my spirits. I still listen to it every now and then.

Also of massive note is their contribution to Planet Gong's 'Live Floating Anarchy 1977'. Steffe Sharpstrings forever!

Ooh! Ooh!

Two previously unreleased World Domination Enterprises tracks are set to be released as a digital single on 3rd July 2020. Further info coming down the pipe…

Wow I love What You See Is What You Are. Gonna listen through a couple of albums. I think I saw some incarnation of Here And Now at least once in der 90s.

Please do free festival bands / crusty spacerock thread someone.

"What You See Is What You Are" is all time.

i ended up watching a bit of this 1985 gig last night; great seeing how much the crowd were dancing.
