This is a free
album with a limited edition of 1000 copies. Mad Pride originates from England.
They
fight for the
civil rights and social status of people labelled with mental health problems. I
like this idea.
After listening to
a lot of noise and / or experimental music, it`s good to relax and listen to
`normal`music. This compilation offers various music styles: indie rock, indie
pop, alternative
country, lo-fi
acoustic folk, lo-fi weirdness and assorted oddities. Most of the music
seems
surrounded with a
strange aura of madness, a warped sensibility if you will. The whole
compilation
is pretty amazing,
all the songs are pretty good in their own warped / strange / bizarre styles.
A
couple of pieces
really blew my mind:
4 – Shy Rights
Movement – real love = lo-fi acoustic folk music with some longing / somber
elements
thrown in (Neil
Young & Johnny Cash jamming
together late at
night).
10 – Jim
Macdougall & The AMM All Stars – shit or chocolate = weird, out there
jam session /
schizoid pop
perhaps (sounds like a mix of Alien Planetscapes with
Gong, early period).
12 –
Alternative TV – the radio story / strange looks = lo-fi weirdness, jam
sessions from the end of this
known
universe.
14 – The
Ceramic Hobs – 33 trapped Chilean miners = weird, spacy, like a black hole
collapsing, noise rock
(forget Sonic
Youth, this is THE CERAMIC HOBS
BAYBEE!!!). More
information here:
16 – Esther
Leslie – square mile quagmire = spoken word mixed with proto bluesy
experimentations
(Steven Jesse
Bernstein on Prozac + Mississippi Fred McDowell). More info regarding Mad
Pride:
