Thanks. We made some mistakes though, like re-using an old tape instead of forking out for a new one.

Sediment, by Lobe: an instrumental recorded in Brian's flat, on a borrowed 4-track cassette recorder, for Lobe's first demo tape. during the summer of 1993. We didn't have much experience of home recording at that stage.

Tackhead – Heaven on Earth & Drum solo. Powerstation, Auckland, 16/06/1989.

“City Slab Horror” was released in 1985 on UK “Ink” records.  The LP though 2 years after “Since The Accident” continues to carry the torch illustrating the evolving transition between experimental structure and loops into the catchy pop hooks that would later define such releases as “Rotund For Success”.   This LP seems to move slightly into darker territory in general with it’s synth textures and slower tempo tracks but overall has a nice “continuation” feel from “Since The Accident” yet with obvious technological evolutions. The opening track “Spasm” drags the listener down the Sev Head mental rabbit hole instantly with it’s heady samples and eloquent drum machine rhythm.  “Spitoon Thud’ is a rambunctious affair with it’s cacophony of samples and percussion.  “4.W.D.” is a great sneak peak into the sound of the Sev Heads LPs to come with it’s treated vocals and pop hooks (perfected on later records such as “The Big Bigot”).  Next to last is the amazing “Goodbye Tonsils” track which is unstoppably catchy and features more of the creative use of samples which made this group so interesting. Though signed to 80’s industrial label icon Nettwerk in North America and often classified in the same vein, these records are not easily definable and actually have a life of their own. Though commonly misclassified with a lot of the late 80s industrial/goth scene (as well as touring with Skinny Puppy at one point), Severed Heads would be more accurately in good company with acts such as Cabaret Voltaire, early Coil, Chris & Cosey (and CTI), and the like.  Long out of print and a rarity on the collector’s market, it is presented with original repro jacket.   Remastered by Tom Ellard form the original source masters. Presented on high-quality 180gram heavyweight bone white vinyl. Features bonus LP insert compiled by Tom Ellard with ephemera from the time.  Limited Edition.

My Song 2

Judges' Award 2016 - 2nd Place
Alison Benson - Black Pearls (Unfinished Business)

I sit and wait for you
Each night just the same.
I refill my glass 
And as the hours pass
I wonder where you are.
I gaze out the window.
The moon deathly grey
My heart’s turning cold.
My heart’s feeling old.
And I don’t think I’ll see you today.
You gave me black pearls
And called me your world
You painted my picture then threw me away.
It’s unfinished business today.
We’ve got unfinished business today.
We have such great times.
You set me on fire.
But I never knew
The true face of you
So I tumbled into you arms.
Your gifts of jewellery
And your silver tongue.
Like a magpie I flew
My portrait you drew
And I fell deep for your charms.
You gave me black pearls
And called me your world
You painted my picture then threw me away.
It’s unfinished business today.
We’ve got unfinished business today.
My sadness turned to madness.
My love to hate
My thoughts to revenge
So here I wait.
My lips are black with wine.
There’s poison in the pot.
And if you show up
I’ll pour you a cup
And we might talk business today. 
You’ll ask me what I want.
And then you’ll understand.
I would’ve been your wife.
Now I just want your life.
No unfinished business today.
You gave me black pearls
And called me your world
You painted my picture then threw me away.
It’s unfinished business today.
No more unfinished business today.
I was inspired by the idea of who was sitting in the room looking at the scene. It was as if there was someone there waiting. I could see a bottle of wine reflected in the teapot and a light – perhaps a photographer or perhaps the light of someone entering the room. There was something that unsettled me about it all – it wasn’t a happy scene – and I decided that the person sitting in the room was the same woman pictured on the book on the table. Her reason to be there was to wait for the artist who had wooed her, used her and abandoned her. The song follows her thoughts and intentions as she waits for the artist to return home.
