OSI - re:free

This record came in tag with Ulver's "Wars of the Roses" vinyl (which is fucking phenomenal and will never reach this blog because it's staying mint).
OSI is Kevin Moore of Chroma Key and Jim Matheos of Fates Warning. This 3-song sampler features remixes of songs that came off of their "Free" full-length, I believe. Two are done by Keving Moore, himself. But the epic 10-minute remix of "Go" is remixed by Console, aka Martin Gretschmann of The Notwist, one of my favorites. So check it out. If you like what I like, you'll love it (at least the Console track).

Ocrilim (Octis) - Ment


This is weird and I can't entirely back it. But when you are a guitar virtuoso like Mick Barr and everything else has been done already, I guess there's no excuse not to. Barr is better known for Behold...the Arctopus, Byla, and Krallice, a great black metal project. I got this LP at the latter's show.

Funkmaster Flex & The Ghetto Celebs - Safe Sex, No Freaks single

Featuring Flava Flav. It's always weird for me to think that many people don't know about musical celebrities in the way that I remember them as a kid. To me, Flava Flav was some crazy rapper who wore a clock around his neck--not some burn-out that fell in love with that man from Red Sonja. When I talk about Ozzy, I think about Black Sabbath. I think about him screaming about the dark service, not complaining about cat piss. And in my mind, Axel Rose never looked like a professional wrestler.

Tribe - sing the creative Genius of George Harrison, John Lennon & Paul McCartney

It's just like The Beatles, but not as good. I don't know what the fucking point of this record is. Something mundane, I'm sure.

Vangelis - Albedo 0.39

Some nice synth-based experimental stuff. This is a precursor to current synth bands like Zombi. Give it a try. Vangelis is also credited for the Blade Runner soundtrack.
