Tindersticks were one of the most original and distinctive British acts of the '90s, standing apart from both the British indie scene and the rash of Brit-pop guitar combos that dominated the U.K. charts. Where their contemporaries were often direct and to the point, Tindersticks were obtuse and leisurely, crafting dense, difficult songs layered with literary lyrics, intertwining melodies, mumbling vocals, and gently melancholy orchestrations. Essentially, the group filtered the dark romanticism of Leonard Cohen, Ian Curtis, and Scott Walker as filtered through the bizarre pop songcraft of Lee Hazlewood and the aesthetics of indie rock. Though their music was far from casual listening, Tindersticks gained a dedicated cult following in the mid-'90s, beginning with their eponymous 1993 debut album, which was named Album of the Year by Melody Maker.
The origins of Tindersticks lay in Asphalt Ribbons, a Nottingham-based indie rock band that featured vocalist Stuart Staples, keyboardist David Boulter, and violinist Dickon Hinchcliffe. All three members formed Tindersticks in 1992; the remaining members included guitarist Neil Fraser, bassist Mark Colwill, and drummer Al Macaulay. In November of 1992, the band released its first single, "Patchwork," on its own label, Tippy Toe. "Marbles" followed early in 1993, as did "A Marriage Made in Heaven," a collaboration with Huggy Bear's Niki Sin that appeared on Rough Trade's Singles Club. Following the release of the Unwired EP on Tippy Toe, the fledgling This Way Up signed the band.
Tindersticks' eponymous debut appeared halfway through 1993, earning rave reviews from most sections of the British press. By the end of the year, the group and the album had won over most of the U.K. critics, and Tindersticks was named Album of the Year by Melody Maker. Tindersticks spent a quiet year in 1994, releasing a single of John Barry's James Bond theme "We Have All the Time in the World" (On Her Majesty's Secret Service), a live album entitled Amsterdam, and a cover of Pavement's "Here." Also that year, Tindersticks was released on Bar/None in the U.S. In the spring of 1995, the group released its untitled second album, which featured cameos from Gallon Drunk's Terry Edwards and the Walkabouts' Carla Torgerson. Like its predecessor, it received rave reviews and appeared on nearly every British Top Ten list of the Best of 1995. In November of 1995, the group released another live album, Bloomsbury Theatre.
Tindersticks were quiet for most of 1996, releasing the soundtrack to the Claire Denis film Nénette et Boni in the fall of the year. The album was comprised of old songs, new songs, and rearranged older material. A new version of "A Marriage Made in Heaven," featuring vocals from actress Isabella Rossellini, was released a few months after Nénette et Boni; the single was later appended to the American release of 1997's Curtains. Their fourth effort, Simple Pleasure (1999), marked the band's most open-hearted release since their inception. A new deal with Beggars Banquet surfaced at the dawn of the new millennium, and a replenished unity within the band was found on 2001's Can Our Love.... Later that year, Tindersticks provided the soundtrack to another Claire Denis film, Trouble Every Day. The proper follow-up to Can Our Love..., Waiting for the Moon, was released in mid-2003. In 2005, Staples embarked on a solo project (fueling rumors of a split) and went on to produce two albums. The rumors were partially true as Hinchcliffe,Colwill, and drummer Macaulay left the group in 2006. The remaining Tindersticks (Staples, Fraser and Boulter) were joined by long-time associate Terry Edwards and a host of musicians in their return to the studio in 2007. The resulting album The Hungry Saw was released in 2008. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

In 1983 Death in June issued their first full-length effort, The Guilty Have No Pride; from the outset, the group was criticized for its adoption of fascist imagery, and charges of Nazism dogged Pearce throughout his career. Upon completing the Burial LP, Wakeford left the lineup to form Sol Invictus; following the release of 1985's Nada!, only Pearce remained, with Leagas exiting to form his own project, Sixth Comm. Beginning with the 1986 double album The World That Summer, Pearce continued Death in June primarily as a solo concern, aided by a revolving group of collaborators including Current 93's David Tibet, Boyd Rice and Coil's John Balance; the abrasive electronics and martial rhythms of early efforts gave way to an increasingly expansive sonic approach over the course of subsequent outings including 1987's Brown Book, 1989's The Wall of Sacrifice and 1992's But, What Ends When the Symbols Shatter?, the latter evoking Pearce's longstanding interest in traditional European folk music. The first British act to perform in Croatia following the outbreak of Yugoslavia's civil war, Death in June documented their experiences on 1993's Something Is Coming; subsequent efforts include 1995's Rose Clouds of Holocaust, 1997's Take Care and Control and 2000's Operation Hummingbird.
"He's Disabled", "The Mourner's Bench", "Because of Him", and "Little Black Angel" are covers/re-interpretations of songs from Jim Jones' People's Temple Choir 1973 gospel album He's Able. The original songs were "He's Able", "Something's Got a Hold of Me", "Because of Him", and "Black Baby", respectively.

Roy Buchanan with Buddy Guy & Junior Wells Beacon Theatre 1984-05-04 NYC, NY Excellent unknown source! @flac
*Trader Notes*
It's an adventure going through these old tapes I traded for about 25 years ago. This one was marked as Buddy Guy with Junior Wells and Roy Buchanan NYC 1984-05-04. I found this link while trying to do some research on the show:
Can you imagine seeing this show for $10 or whatever? Those were the days !!. I believe this performance by Roy is the same show that Slickdaddio posted as 1984-03-04 a few years ago BUT this is a different source than that recording, and it does appear to be the same show. My link above confirms 1984-05-04 is the correct date for this show. Since I only had about 10 minutes of the Guy / Wells performance and appeared to have most of the RB set, I decided to post the show as such, since there really is no good way to present a 10 minute performance under its own torrent. I though it made sense to post all of this together since it's obviously from the same recorder.

The Tellers - Flex Studio recordings @320 Out of Print
Track list:
I don't really know much about this
band, other than they had a single produced by Radio Birdman screamer,
Rob Younger. I found this disc for just one dollar lying there amongst
the musty, soiled racks of Ashwood's (a large second-hand dealer here in
Sydney), one of those shrug moments of ah-what-the-hell. The Tellers
appear to have been an Aussie garage band in the early 90s, possibly
from Brisbane. The music is mostly grungey and discontented indie garage
rock with plenty of punk crossover, a few hints of rockabilly and maybe
some prog. Mostly it's buzzsaw guitars but a bit of sax emerges in a
few places. Whenever the hoary male vocalist sings down low it reminds
me of that guy from Crash Test Dummies, when he sings up in pitch it's
quite like the Sydney band The Trilobites. Reasonably decent if truth be
told, in fact this is not a bad album, could have been quite
radio-friendly amongst the Big Rock FM radio crowd. Criticism? Well,
perhaps a tad samey but that's not such a big deal as within the genre
it changes direction enough times to keep me listening until the end. I
do wonder what happened to this band. ~batfink
