atsonicpark 02.23.2009 09:05 AM

The Messenger Girls Trio is comprised of Rob Millis, Jeffrey Taylor, Dave Knott and Sir Richard Bishop. Released by Anomalous Records on LP in an edition of 200 copies in 2003.
These pieces are a collage of improvisations on acoustic guitars and harmonium, edited from hours of incredibly diverse material.


thanks for saving me a vinyl rip!

according to the new wire, a small blurb says that Alan is working on the "last" Sun City Girls album, that they recorded in a studio before Charles passed.

This is the second volume in a series featuring rare singles and unreleased tracks from Sun City Girls, strange and disturbing recordings from 1985-1997.
"In the summer of 1988, Sun City Girls began working on two records simultaneously: "Torch of the Mystics" and "Dante's Disneyland Inferno". The former was finished and released in December of 1989 but the latter wasn't released until April of 1996. "Dante's" morphed into an entirely different record over those 8 years due to several originally targeted songs for inclusion being hijacked by other projects. Two tracks (X+Y/Frankenstein) were siphoned-off to the "Kaliflower" LP in 1993 and 4 tracks (1, 11, 12, 13) included here were released on 7" singles in the early 90's. The two most notable of the Singles tracks dominate this record. "Napoleon & Josephine" runs almost 13 minutes and was originally released as a single in 1991 (Scratch Records). The full track was split into sides (parts 1 & 2) running over 6 minutes long. An alternative mix which has been shelved for 15 years is featured here. "Reflection of a Young Boy Eating From a Can of Dog Food on a Shiny Red X-mas Ball" was originally released as side 4 on the double single "3 Fake Female Orgasms" (Majora 1991) and was 8 minutes in length. This extended version is the original complete recording running 22 minutes. Legendary Phoenix electronic musician and SCG associate David Oliphant mixed and processed the entire piece live to tape in his studio. The remainder of this set is composed of like-minded & literary SCG singles and compilation tracks, including the previously unreleased "The Weatherman" which was originally recorded as an introduction for "Napoleon & Josephine". This is the second of a multi-volume set of rare & long out-of-print singles, compilation, and unreleased tracks to be assembled and sequenced to play as full-length records."-Abduction

Anyone heard this yet? Sounds promising.

atsonicpark 05.08.2009 11:15 AM

Yeah I got it a few weeks ago. All songs I'd had before except an alternate take or two and the Weatherman, which isn't very good. Definitely a lesser release. They have thousands of hours of unreleased material... they should release some! haha. But yeah it's alright.

super_charger 05.08.2009 11:21 AM

Based on how good vol. 1 was this seemed like a no-brainer purchase but because of your comments I might look at downloading it first. Ah well, I guess any SCG release at this point is welcome though.

atsonicpark 05.08.2009 11:55 AM

Trust me, vol. 1 is better by miles. :)

auto-aim 05.08.2009 06:53 PM

how's that? I love vol 1. but always kind of think all hte songs sound a little unfinished. I'd still give it a thumbs up though

atsonicpark 05.08.2009 08:37 PM

yeah
