Various Artists: Time Machine - The History Of Canadian 60s Garage Punk And Surf (1985-95)

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lyonnmgzn4y

A rather confusing album title; you see the parentheses, Time Machine - The History of Canadian 60's Garage Punk and Surf (1985-95) features the best of Canada's Garage Rock Revival bands of the 80s and early 90s.

I wish I knew more about it, other than it's a great collection of the genres you see listed here.

Enjoy.

(VA) Atomic Shockwaves (DIY) - Vol. 2



Continuing my thematic theme (is that a redundancy?), I'm posting herewith a series of DIY Post-Punk collections, called Atomic Shockwaves.

In this series, you'll hear shades of Joy Division, homages to Public Image Ltd., paeons to early Human League, OMD and the like.

Often, this sounds like one of those Messthetics-type DIY collections, where the music is identifiably low-tech. Other times, you'll hear better production values (don't worry...none of that "Wall of Sound" stuff).

For some reason, there are no Atomic Shockwaves - Vols. 1, 4, 8, 10, 11, 14, 15 or 16 that I could find. And there's no information on the internet about this collection.

My guess is, this was put together by some music fan out there (hence the DIY qualifier). There were no album covers that I could find, either. I had to make up my own. They're not as good looking as whoever created the album art for the Hyped 2 Death Unofficial Addendum series I posted last week.

But hey...I was usually in a hurry, when I created them. (Aah, Time Management: A skill I never mastered).

Anyway, let's start numerically with Volume 2 (WTF???).

This is an all UK collection; mostly from 1979, but some from 1980.

Reluctant Stereotypes 7" on Oval Records (Oval 1013). 1979, Manchester.

Cardiac Arrest 7" on Torch Records (Torch 002). 1979, Surrey.

Colortapes 7" on Wavelength Records (HURT 4). 1979, Bristol.

Hardware 7" on (N.A.R.C. Records 001). 1979, Cheltenham.

The Insex 7" on Dining Out (Tux 3). 1979.

Neu Electrikk on Synesthia Records (Syn 1). 1980, London.

Self Control 7" on Dancing Sideways Records (DS2X). 1980, London.

Strangers In The night 7" on Dancing Sideways Records (DS3X). 1980, London.

'80s Nuggets: Hyped 2 Death Unofficial Addendum - Vol. 8



Well, my friends...we've come to the end of an era. I cannot seem to find any more of these great collections. But apparently, we may be in for more. I saw on another blog , that the person who created this series MAY have more in the works. But I don't know. 

(I have since learned that the creator of this series is one "Stanislav".  Please read the story of how and why he managed to put together this awesome set in the comments below.)
