Crazy.

"Red Ampersand" and "Red Mantra" by Salamander are both up there now!
Recorded mid to late 90s; some studio, some cassette 4 track.

This is fun for me to see, especially in such good company.

I've only been able to download the first one up until now. Gotta wait 83 mins before I can download the other. R.A's Carved into Water is pretty spaced out. Great stuff!

I saw Red Mantra in a store in Amsterdam about a couple of years ago (I didn't buy it though, sorry!), but I haven't seen any Salamander elsewhere in the shops here.
I'll check them out and also Florya's album.., I hadn't read this thread before and until now thought that he mentioned one of the rare cassettes he'd copied from his colection rather than actually one of his own albums...

Well, now you don't have to!
I downloaded Florya's album, but I haven't listened to it yet because I want to give it my full attention.

I'd feel bad "stealing" from you, but since you insist on it...

This blog is as fine a way as any to fall prey to piracy.

I bought two Salamander CDs. I demand have my money back.

GULP!

I've bought both the Salamander albums around the time they were out, plus i have a few other records on Camera Obscura, including a rare compilation that caught my eye because of the awesome cover art. I was obviously ahead of my time, but that's no secret. Florya, i haven't listened to your album yet, but i'll do so at one point.

So far I've listened to Red Mantra and it's really awesome. Can't wait to check out the other one.

I've heard some of Florya's musical history, and it's fascinating. The guy was fortunate enough to be "there" during an era that most of us just fantasize about. If he wrote a book, I'd buy it.

feel bad not knowing your music story.
also have to say, not that would matter, but those sounds are like been done recently or decades ago. timeless.

Nefeli - That's so good to hear! I'm so happy that it still has some relevance 20 years later.

You ain't seen me, right!

Florya · 05.10.2007, 04:01 PM

one of my fellow conspirators from my noise making days found an albums worth of tracks on an old cassette in a bin bag at his mums house last weekend. How apt.

He brought it round to mine and we listened to the music for the first time in 20 years.

Considering we had no viable instruments, no proper recording equipment and basically no idea what we were doing, the quality of the sound ain;t too shabby.

The weird thing is that the music actually scared me! I had forgotten how dark it was. Really creeped me out.

He's taken the tape away to try and clean up some (not too much) of the hiss, and we're thinking about giving it a limited release sometime in the future if we can find a way of letting people know that it exists.

Watch this space.

Florya · 06.10.2007, 12:15 PM

OK. A couple of the 'new' tracks are up on the Organs of Battle MySpace page. http://www.myspace.com/organsofbattle

If you have the time and/or inclination, please give them a listen and let me know how you feel about them.

I would post more, but the 6Mb limit on MySpace is a killer.
