Larm - 2003 Session (FLAC)
Larm > German trader > Me. I brazenly ripped this for literally everybody back then, though these years it seems to have finally drowned under the fathomless depths of the upload sea (it's more forgotten than consciously hoarded). A fun re-recording to celebrate their name change back from Seein' Red to Larm, and still as "progressively" minded as they'd always been: communist, straight edge, gay, and FAAAAAASSSSSSTTTTTT...but not cringelord crypussys about it.

Chaos Z - "Dunkle Strassen (1981-1995 Komplett)" CD 2002
"Chaos Z was a German punk band from Stuttgart, existing from 1980-1983. In the summer of 1980 Thomas Löhr, Andreas Löhr and Michael Ortner founded the band 'The Zeroes'. In October of the same year they renamed themselves Chaos Z. At the same time, they began to write their lyrics in German. They released their first EP 'Abmarsch' in 1981 on Mülleimer Records. In 1982 Rock-O-Rama released their LP 'Ohne Gnade'. The group rarely played concerts and no indication of the members was on the records. Only with publications on samplers did it become known that the brothers Thomas and Andreas were the main members. Typically for the German punk of the early 1980s, Chaos Z largely eschewed musical virtuosity and instead limited itself to a few guitar chords. In addition to the usual staccatos, the monotonously pounding rhythm is particularly characteristic. The basic moods of the pieces by Chaos Z are anger and despair, which, however, are less often expressed in bold political statements than in gloomy representations of personal experiences."
Nasenbluten - Live 2NUR Radio 1994, Live PCRFM 1995, "Concrete Compressor Project" Parts 1-4 Tapes 1994 (320), "Fuck Anna Wood" Lathe EP 1996
"Nasenbluten were formed in Newcastle Australia in 1992. The group were founded by three DJs, Aaron Lubinski (a.k.a. Xylocaine), David Melo (a.k.a. Disassembler) and Mark Newlands (a.k.a. Mark N / Overcast), taking their collective name from the German word 'Nasenbluten', which translates as 'nosebleed'. Early in 1993 Lubinski founded the Dead Girl Records label in Swansea.
They first created music on old/used Amiga computers using tracker software in the MOD format, and started playing house parties in Newcastle. They self-released a number of cassettes on the Dead Girl label starting with their debut album, 'Transient Ischemic Attack', which appeared in March 1993. On 31 July that year they recorded a gig which was released as 'Live at Wobble'. In late October they recorded another album, 'You're Going to Die'. In mid-1994 they signed to New York City based hardcore techno label Industrial Strength Records. In August that year, Mark N founded Bloody Fist Records, which specialized in releasing artists from their hometown (and very rarely surrounding cities).
The band's emphasis on breakbeats, ironic audio samples and gangster rap samples became influential in the global hardcore scene. Due to their influence and the relatively small numbers of records that were pressed for earlier releases (including limited self-distributed cassettes), they have become popular with collectors. Bloody Fist Records provided 'horrifically high-tempo electronic music that quickly became a thing of international legend. Specialising in breakcore, gabba and referential sample alchemy/exploitation'. The band's 2×LP '100% No Soul Guaranteed' showcased 'a nasty marriage of power electronics shock tactics with vaguely danceable and purely psychotic electronic beats is one of the few genuinely sickening music experiences you're likely to have in your life'.
In 1996, Nasenbluten released a limited edition single, 'Show Us Yor Tits' (often referred to as 'Anna Wood' or 'Fuck Anna Wood', from its sampled lyrics), on the Dead Girl label. In October the previous year a schoolgirl of that name died after using ecstasy at a dance club. Media reports sparked a moral panic surrounding rave parties and drug use at venues. 'Show Us Your Tits' was not commercially available but only distributed by the band at gigs. They provided 50 vinyl copies, each individually numbered. The label had a picture of Wood with the phrase 'I'm having the best night of my life!' and a picture of Dutch DJ Paul Elstak on the b-side with the words 'I wanna see the rainbow high in the sky', a reference to the maligned happy hardcore scene.
They continued to issue material and even toured Europe from November 1996 to February 1997 on their 'Christ This Is Dragging On A Bit' Tour. While in Germany they produced an EP for the local 'Strike Records' label [recorded in a freezing hotel room the trio were staying in. --S], which was issued in 1997. They played their last gig on September 30th 2001, issued a 3×LP called 'Dog Control', then offically disbanded that November."

"Anna Victoria Wood (27 May 1980 – 24 October 1995) was an Australian teenager who died after consuming an ecstasy pill outside of a rave in Sydney. Her death was covered widely in the media, and produced extensive debate on adolescent drug use.
On 21 October 1995, Wood told her parents that she was attending a sleepover, instead she travelled with friends to an all-night inner city rave. The group purchased and consumed ecstasy pills prior to entering the party. At approximately 5 a.m. on 22 October, Wood began feeling unwell and was seen rushing to the bathrooms to vomit. Her friends retrieved her and then drove to one of their homes to put Wood to bed. Throughout this, Wood experienced confusion, dry heaves, and convulsive twitching before finally losing consciousness. It was only at 10 a.m. that Wood's parents were informed, they in turn called for an ambulance to rush Wood to the hospital. Her life support was turned off on Tuesday 24 October 1995 after an analysis declared her brain dead.
The subsequent coroner's report determined that the cause of death was a cerebral edema caused by water intoxication (hyponatraemia) secondary to use of MDMA. Hyponatraemia occurs when excessive fluid consumption dilutes sodium levels in the blood supply, leading to water absorption in the body's cells. Absorption of too much water causes cell swelling, which in the brain can cause irreparable damage as the human skull leaves little room for expansion. The brain's functions are also disrupted by cell swelling, resulting in respiratory arrest among other symptoms.
The intensity of the media coverage was due to Wood's appearance as an average, middle-class "good girl" whose life had been tragically taken from her. She did not fit the stereotype of a street junkie and so was turned into an object of sympathy instead. She was the child that 'everyone could relate to', and as a result, was used as a warning to prevent further incidents. Wood's father stated that 'I hoped Anna's death would make a difference, but we are not making progress against drugs. I think the pro-legalisation lobby has a lot to answer for. They keep on about harm reduction. They say just take the stuff safely. But there is no safe way. You just don’t know what will happen when you take drugs.'"
Neos - 1980-1983 Complete Discography
"The Neos formed around 1979/1980 in Victoria, B.C., an hour and a half ferry ride from Vancouver. This high school trio played noisy, light-speed hardcore in an attempt to be the world's fastest band, which at the time they probably were. Although they gigged infrequently, they still managed to open for the likes of the Subhumans, Black Flag and Dead Kennedys (who made a fan out of Jello). They released two 7"s, both in 1982, on their own label: the 11 song 'End All Discrimination' and the 14 song 'Hassibah Gets The Martian Brain Squeeze'. Ratcage Records repressed the second 7" the following year. [There's an unreleased LP as well. --S] When the band called it quits at the end of '83, Steve and Kev continued on for another year as 'Harvest Of Seaweed'. After this, Kev started 'Sludge Confrontations' with John from the legendary 'Jerk Ward'. They eventually went on to play in 'Mexican Power Authority' and the 'Showbiz Giants'. Despite being fairly obscure, they still remain very influential, even having their songs covered by Charles Bronson and NOFX."
