Infest - No Man's Slave (2002)

Download

Artist(s): Infest
Title: No Man's Slave
Format: 12"
Year: 2002
Label/Catalog: Deep Six DS25

Borrowed this from a friend to rip as I got rid of my copy years ago. Ripping this made me rediscover how good it actually is. It's fucking great. So it's regrettable that I got rid of it, and as far as I recall this was actually my copy that I sold. Either way. This is what INFEST brought to the table and are in top form. Nothing dragging like the KXLU LP, just pure fucking speed and hatred.

Recorded in 1995 but not released until 2002.

There's some repeating surface noise at the beginning of side one, most noticeable in the intro sample, which is kind of annoying, but it goes away before too long and other than that there's no real problems to report with the rip.

NOTE: This record is the first to be ripped at a sample rate of 88.2khz which will be the new standard from now on.

UJ3RK5 - UJ3RK5 12" (1980)

Download

Artist(s): UJ3RK5
Title: UJ3RK5
Format: 12"
Year: 1980
Label/Catalog: Quintessence QEP 1207

Another early Vancouver gem and another on Quintessence Records. Pronounced "you jerk" with the '5' being silent, UJ3RK5 were, in their terms, more of an art ensemble than a band. They're really one of those bands that can't be lumped into any genre that isn't called "weirdo-art-punk", or something. Great lyrics. They also had two tracks on the Vancouver Complication. The only incestuity (real word?) in the lineup came from Colin Griffiths. Continuing his run in several bands, from the original lineup of the POINTED STICKS in August of 1978, to FOUR DAY WONDER in November of 1978, Griffiths ended up in UJ3RK5 in December of 1978, and then on to WASTED LIVES in January of 1979. UJ3RK5 disbanded after this EP was released, apparently PolyGram signed them and reissued it, though I have never seen proof of it's existence. Danice MacLeod later went on to BAMFF, which had an LP on Mo Da Mu. Mo Da Mu started putting out stuff from the new wave/more commercial side of the Vancouver scene in the early 80s. Stuff from bands like INSEX, POPULAR FRONT, and the earliest incarnations of 54-40.

Some surface noise throughout but overall a good listen.

"yeah, but is it art?"
