Countdown To Putsch - Handbook For Planetary Progress (1999)


Artist(s): Countdown To Putsch
Title: Handbook For Planetary Progress
Format: CD
Year: 1999
Label/Catalog: Mountain Collective MTN 21

Overtly political Ebullition-style 90s screamo. Members of JUDAS ISCARIOT, THAT'S ALL SHE WROTE, and YOUR ADVERSARY. 54 minutes of music, 18 and a half minute interview with Jafar S. Hamzah about human rights issues in Indonesia. Comes inside a 100-page book, which can be read in it's entirety here.

Hamzah was found dead in Indonesia in September of 2000. From the World Policy Journal:
The 34-year-old human rights lawyer's body was found along with four other unidentified bodies on September 2, 2000, at the bottom of cliff not far from Medan, the largest city on the island of Sumatra, of which Aceh forms a part. Jafar's limbs were bound by wire and his body bore signs of torture.

Part of my nightly auto-CD upload series to bulk up the site, which will continue every day at 12:01AM until my collection of out of print CDs runs dry. It's looking like we'll be good to go for the next two months. Vinyl rips will still happen as I do them and be posted at any time of day whenver they're ready.
