Johnny Scarr - "Untitled" C-30
"New Johnny Scarr tape, UK experimental music at it's best! Quiet tone and feedback manipulation with scrap electronics make up the first side of the tape and organic sounding flowing high end electronics make up the flip. A really tonal and soothing tape from this Nottingham master/sometime member of Fossils."

Side B = amazing/outstanding live vocal dissonance vs tape manipulation from Mel and Robin (Rx-A slow listener) ...almost sounds like 2 anthropologists reciting a calling of the dead from a long lost tribe...side begins with a slowly creeping prayer to the elements to bring forth a heatwave, ends with pre-exorsism sympothy to prepare the possessed----absolutely suited for tape appretiation vibes

JOHNNY SCARR - Untitled cassette
Blackest Rainbow - £4.00
Johnny is from Nottingham, England and has been making weird noise for all the time i've known him, as well as pretty much single handedly trying to keep the small Nottingham noise scene going with countless shows... This release follows his two recent releases on MJC and collaborative release with Luke Younger of Birds of Delay on Audiobot. A trip into the squelching, droney, scratchy world of Scarr's soggy brain... Comes in case with lame insert by me and amazing eye pulsating sleeve by Pascal of Stuckometer, Cars etc.. Edition of 29 copies. blackestrainbow@googlemail.com
BOT 227 LUKE YOUNGER & JOHNNY SCARR - Live In The Sweat Pit - CS
Half fagpinchin' brutality south of Delayland. The other leg is hoppin' along to an XTC beat in Nottingham. Kicks off with creepy minimal basement-grit à la Small Cruel Party meets Flintstones. These dudes have passion and create a dense cluster of broken ideals... Not the usual teenage angst/volume combination but sick subtle glimps of demonic voltage. Frustrating sweaty boy noise... Not in a Richard Ramirez way, but in a youthful UK burnt-out style. No riddim' and still no fuckin' future. Full color cover. Sealed fresh Audiobot style. Edition of 28 copies.
