THE CLOCK MACHINE TURNS YOU ON volume 2
TWO CDs FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!!!
this is a double cd set of 32 malicious classics [eleven unreleased]
all gently sewn together by the orb... and it's yours for only a tenner!!!
here's the official blurb courtesy of our good friend mr kris needs:

"Malicious Damage is one of the few record labels to emerge from the late 70s independent explosion to not only survive but still operate in the original spirit of operating outside of the corporations and business straitjackets. With no allegiance to boardrooms the label has been able to fire out a staggeringly diverse array of musical styles and personal visions while keeping abreast of modern technology to assist in distribution and, via the website, invoking an essential feeling that those recording for and supporting the label are involved in some kind of close-knit, even inspirational, crusade for the right of artists to have their say where otherwise they might not get a chance.

It comes as little surprise to find that Dr Alex Paterson, who first became involved with the label at its inception whilst a roadie for founding fathers Killing Joke and singing with his band Bloodsport, is still heavily involved, regularly appearing in label projects the Transit Kings with Jimmy Cauty, Rootmasters with Nina Walsh and most recently with studio wizard Dom Beken as High Frequency Bandwidth, plus several special voyages by The Orb, of course.

Not content with a 'normal' compilation, Alex and Dom have hallucinogenically mixed up two CDs representing the current state of M.D.'s amazing catalogue. After kicking off with Killing Joke's seminal early single Turn To Red, and Bloodsport pummelling the Sex Pistols' Bodies they weave together the dubbed and dreamy [Youth & Simon Tong's new Transmission project, Analogue Mindfield, SMARTYR - with the late Paul Raven RIP, Norway's N.I.C. with former PiL guitarist Keith Levene, Teledubgnosis from the USA, Sweden's Beatundercontrol], surreal-acoustic [South London blues-picker Bob Meyer, ethereal folkstress Nina Walsh, Canola Tenderfoot], audacious oddities [Caned & Able, Belka & Strelka, Japan's The Sun Paulo] and more familiar names like Shriekback, Headcount and The Orb from the Orbsessions series.

There's also tastes of things to come with the Paterson soul chant of H.F.B.'s High Five Brother [Malicious Monitor] and Vertical Smile - Youth's explosive new disco-punk outfit.

The set is a stunning affirmation of a label which has stuck to its guns and released what it damn well wants, flying the flag for the original independent spirit and relentlessly throwing up stunning musical cross-pollinations shot through with dub, guts and a healthy dose of humour and madness.

This is one malicious clock which shows no sign of winding down."

Drummer Ted Parsons (PRONG, SWANS, GODFLESH, JESU) — who has spent the past few days in a Swiss studio collaborating with French recording artists TREPONEM PAL on their new release — has released the following statement regarding legendary bassist Paul Raven's (MINISTRY, KILLING JOKE) passing:

"It deeply saddens me to tell you that legendary bass player and friend Paul Raven died yesterday morning of a heart failure in Geneva, Switzerland at around 6:00 a.m.

"Paul and myself were invited to play on the new TREPONEM PAL album in Geneva for a week. After a long day of recording, the band went out for drinks to celebrate Paul's arrival and reminisce. We then went back to the house we were staying and I went to bed the other guys stayed up.

"I found Raven asleep in a chair the next morning in the living room. I thought nothing of it as Raven would sleep like this on the tour bus in the front lounge all the time. Then I looked closer at him and he looked very gray. I checked his pulse and there was none. I yelled for the other guys in the band. We immediately did some CPR and called for an ambulance. Medics arrived quickly but after an hour of trying to get his heart beat back they could not save him. They said he died in his sleep probably around 6 a.m. It was then 9:30 a.m.

"Marco and myself have been contacting his family all day yesterday. I'm assuming a funeral service will be held in Wolverhampton, UK where his family live and his birthplace.

"We made a lot of great music together.

"Words can't describe how I feel right now. I'm devastated.

"He will be missed by many.

"He was the king of the one-liners.

"Please send Raven and his family love and light."

Born in Wolverhampton, UK on January 16, 1961, Paul Vincent Raven established himself with his work in the seminal post-punk/industrial act KILLING JOKE after he replaced the band's original bassist in 1982, recording and touring with the group throughout its most commercially successful period, performing on "Fire Dances", "Night Time" and "Brighter than a Thousand Suns". Throughout his extensive career, Raven participated in other collaborations, including PRONG, MURDER, INC., PIGFACE and GODFLESH. Most recently, Raven was nominated for a 2006 Grammy for "Best Metal Performance" for his work with MINISTRY's Al Jourgensen, with whom he had begun collaborating in late 2005 on the MINISTRY release "Rio Grande Blood". After a 2006 world tour with the group, Raven helped Jourgensen and PRONG's Tommy Victor pen the latest MINISTRY CD, "The Last Sucker", which is also the band's final studio release.

I'm very sorry to inform you all that Paul Raven died earlier today in Paris of a heart attack.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
