The Heads - Everyone Know's We've Still Got Nowhere....

The Heads - Everyone Know's We Got Nowhere - Double CD re-issue

Finally Rocket 'Mission Control' have made a start on creating the artwork for The Heads 2nd re-issue from their back catalogue, the classic 'Everyone Know We Got Nowhere'.

The double CD tracks are all mastered, we are just in the process of working through images to use that can match the booklet of Relaxing With.

It will be released later in the year on The Heads 'Rooster' label & will be manufactured by Simon Keeler's 'Forte', and he will be also writing extensive linear notes to follow on from the 1st album re-issue.

Terrascope review INGNODWETRUST

The amazing Terrascope has written a nice review of Gnod new album INGNODWETRUST which was released this week:

Manchester’s psychedelic drone collective are back following their twin- header with White Hills last year, with a two track mini-album (well by modern standards, that is) nestling twixt a cover that may well bother the God-botherers of the Roman Catholic denomination, featuring as it does a faceless representation of His Holiness bestowing blessings upon a photo montage of riot cops in head-cracking mode.

So what do we have here? Well two lengthy sonically macabre “meditations” that can be anything but easy listening but rewarding enough for those of us wired into this alternative current of industrial space rock. “Tony’s First Communion” starts with an extended single bass note which occasionally slips into a “Psycho Killer” run and the rest of the gradually builds around this. The minimalist, repetitive hammer-like beats usher in the sound of some infernal contraption being knocked out in a cosmic forge, as a kitchen sink of guitar, synth noise distorted incantations and that bass-heavy riff is manhandled into a grotesque yet oddly appealing shape. Someone somewhere is probably already using this as some sort of alternative primal scream therapy.

“Vatican” perverts, or at least distorts, the Mass and the church organ – the papal incantations evoke dub reggae, the organ invokes a mellatron, while those pounding, insistent beats begin to sound as much tribal as motorik. At one point the “church organ” seems to play the basic three chord/note run of The Stooges “I Wanna Be Your Dog” over and over again as the maelstrom lays waste to all around it..

Powerful, dystopian, energising and a wee bit scary and, if your tastes incline more towards the sunnier slopes of psychedelia or the wistfulness of avant-folk, this could seem a bit hard going at times. It certainly isn’t for the faint hearted which to my mind makes it a challenge, and we like a challenge here at the Terrascope, particularly one as fulfilling as this. (Ian Fraser)

"four-headed psychedelic beast"

The Fly has written a great review of Teeth of the Seas Manchester show on their recent tour with Parts and Labor:

Parts & Labor
Teeth of the Sea
The Ruby Lounge, Manchester
21/05/2011

Confident or simply unaware? Parts & Labourhaven’t half given themselves a challenge on this tour by adding four-headed psychedelic beast Teeth Of The Sea as main support. Mirroring the way in which Factory Floor swept aside all that followed them throughout last year, so the London four-piece have been setting themselves apart with visceral aplomb.

Tonight they’re no less triumphant, forty minutes of tribal motorik and phosphorescent riffery whipping around the Ruby Lounge with venomous fortitude. There’s something otherworldly in their appearance, certainly the jagged movements and posturing of shock-haired guitarist Jimmy Martin sets him apart from the others, but their overall aesthetic too suggests that of disparate souls coming together. It’s beguiling but, oh, it’s captivating…

It’s also something that Parts & Labour can’t match...

GNOD - INGNODWETRUST - Order of Service - 6th June 2011

________________________________________________________

THE GRACE AND NOISE OF GNOD INVITES YOU TO JOIN THEM FOR:
________________________________________________________

INGNODWETRUST
released on 6th JUNE 2011
________________________________________________________

ORDER OF SERVICE:

Sermon 1
TONY’S FIRST COMMUNION
(20 minutes and 2 seconds)

Sermon 2
VATICAN
(13 minutes and 14 seconds)
________________________________________________________

Brothers and sisters, to prepare ourselves to celebrate the sacred mysteries
of Gnod, let us call to mind our sins.

We believe in one Gnod, Gnod almighty makers of heavy black slab on Earth.

We believe in one chord, seamless, sublime, the one and only sound of Gnod,
eternally begotten of the marcher.

Gnod from Gnod, light from light, true Gnod from true Gnod, begotten,
not made, of one Being with the maker; through Them all riffs were played.
For us and for our salvation They came down from Manchester; by the power
of Tony’s (un)limit, They came to reincarnate and made the last disco’d beat.

Tony’s First Communion, if you choose to be blessed by this record, is the
first reception of the Sacrament on vinyl; this long-standing favourite has been
celebrated over centuries of incarnations and Rocket are proud to release
its rite of passage.

The ceremony of this communion lasts 20 minutes and 2 seconds.

---

On the second side Gnod rose again in accordance with the Scriptures;
They ascended into noise upon this Earth and were seated at the right
hand of the Vatican.

This 13 minute holy doctrine sees Gnod take away the sins of the world;
it cleanses the incense (the in-sense-out-sense) from the all seeing
(third) eye, like a Faustian Butthole Surfers sharing bread with Shit & Shine
and John Carpenter turning water into wine.

Some ceremonies owe their institution to purely physical reason;
for Gnod it’s the mystical reason that They represent.

INGNODWETRUST is founded on honour and soul, They for one are
finally washing their hands with downcast eyes.
