I bought this from a guy who was visiting the opening of our exhibition. Controlled Bleeding is an early (and still prolific) industrial band which I hadn't any albums of any more.
I haven't heard this one, but I've always loved the classic Songs From the Ashes, which is really eerie and strangely beautiful. And, more recently, Shanked and Slithering is absolutely blistering and noisy, a real shock to someone who only knew the band from Ashes. Where does this one fall between those extremes?
I'm not sure. The text on the cover says it's a live concert from 1980, but the seller told me there are a lot of hidden tracks on it as well. haven't found time yet to listen in, but will do so, of course.
OK, I checked, the album is from 1994/95 and includes live material from 1980. The music is quite varied, some rather commercial rock tunes combined with ambient and just a wee bit of noise.
I'm an American living in Regensburg, Bavaria. Born in Munich I spent my first 10 years in Kirkwood, Mo. 1971 we moved to where I am now. Finished German school in 1981, afterwards studied philosophy and German literature and languages. 1982 I joined the management of the local film club's cinema Filmgalerie, and from 1991-2001 I co-owned an own arthouse cinema STALI (Stadtamhofer Lichtspiele). In between I also was partner of the cinema and music bookstore Angry Red Planet for a few years. In the 80s I co-founded the local industrial band and performance art group Lyssa humana that officially still exists, but currently doesn't perform (last time was for our retrospective exhibition in 2010) at the Kunstverein Graz. I was also member of the shortlived noise rock band Hammersmith. Since 2001 I work for the customer service of a large American online company.
