Intense Degree – War In My Head
Kansanturvamusiikkikomissio – 666
I got this one through Anderz Nielsen. He sold many a strange record to me in the late 1980’s. I might still owe him 150 DKK.
Weird Finnish hardcore.
Fun fact: I always saw the thing on the cover as a rising submarine. But just now, I realize it’s a meat cleaver in attack position. Silly me.

Kansanturvamusiikkikomissio means The People’s Music Club (or so a Finnish lady once told me).
Sätkynukke/Kumikristus – Split Lp 1988
I haven’t listened to this lp in ages. But it’s a great reminder of how great Finnish hardcore is. This is classic stuff, reminds me a bit of old Terveet Kädet.

Billy Idol – Vital Idol
Sigh, my family name is Welling, back in 1985 the top cool thing to do in my school was singing
It’s a nice day to start again, it’s a nice day for a white Welling…
Fuck me, I still LOVE this lp. Everything about it is great. The perfect mix of pop and gilded punk.

Negazione – Wild Bunch/The Early Days
I first heard Negazione on a punk/hc compilation tape my crusty friend Allan bought from a punk on a train. I quite like the energy and ferocity of the recordings on this lp. The vox are on the verge of annoying at times.

Blood Money – Red Raw And Bleeding
I can’t say I remember why I bought this… Me and Kenneth (my friend and fellow musicfreak through 30 years) had a thing for this lp heap many years ago… I recall something about a cool guitar solo or somesuch. Listening to it right now doesn’t make the famous bell ring.

Stina Nordenstam – People Are Strange 12″
The only reason I have this, is a massive Techno Animal flip I had some years ago. This 12″ is featuring a TA remix of Swedish singer Stina Nordenstam singing the Doors’ People Are Strange as well as an UNKLE remix of said song.
I’m not impressed… The TA side is ok, but the UNKLE remix sucks.

Napalm Death – Death By Manipulation
This is a classic example of an unnecessary release. All songs on it had been released before. I still bought it at release, because it’s a handy package. The A-side has the Harmony Corruption line-up, side B has the From Enslavement To Obliteration line-up.
Screaming whirlwind disorder!
