Experimental, Plunderphonics, Noise, Glitch, Sampling, Electronic, TV Pow, DIY, Staalplaat; DVD - Ex Used condition
Anchortronic is a Time's Up audio project in cooperation with the music label Staalplaat. It is dedicated to experimental electronic music, in particular the process oriented techniques which in their attitude and technique imply and even demand a radical DIY aesthetic. Sampling, plunderphonics, clicks and cuts, generative sound from self-written applications - keywords and techniques that paraphrase the expressions of a global development, yet in no way set boundaries or categorise. They have in common an attitude that requires the adjective "punk" - without the prefix "cyber" or the postfix "is (not) dead." They are prepared to experiment, to take on ideas unconditionally and as such and to work towards their implementation in spite of, or even because of the fact that in the midst of the process, a new idea can radically alter the course of development, even turn it around. This attitude acts as a negation or as a (distorted) overdrive of established mainstream culture. Individual research and experiments are primal; results appear secondary. Product - often selfburnt CDRs - is distributed through independent or self created labels - mainly to document a momentary state or to include others in the process. The network(s) are close despite their globality, the trade or exchange is real. Exchange is one of Time's Up's core activities. The networking with people of similar interests, effects ongoing or planned wors, leads to concrete collaborations - overlaps experienced as enrichness.

Many matches around the world are marred by violence between groups of (usually drunken) ruffians who engage in violent altercations with whoever crosses their paths. Hooligans & Thugs - Soccer's Most Violent Fan Fights lives up to its title containing little more than footage of some disastrous soccer hooligan incidents. Banned in the UK. Narrated by (Sex Pistols) Steve Jones.

Motorhead, Rock n roll, Metal, Lemmy, NWOBHM, Live; VHS Tape - Ex Used condition
This is Motorhead relatively early in their history, with the usual setlist of now-classics and frill-free rock 'n roll. There are a couple of obscure songs here but for the most part they're what you'd expect, with 'Stay Clean', 'Metropolis', and 'Bomber' figuring into the mix. For Motorhead fans this VHS tape gives you a look at the band right before their comeback via the Orgasmatron album and tour. The band is hot with the two guitarists and the show offers a good offering of both old and new material from that era. A must for true Motorhead fans.

Experimental, World Music, Ambient, Industrial, Australia, Extreme; CD - Ex Used condition
Formed in Australia, 1992 - the (then) three members, Darrin Verhagen, Charles and François Tétaz seeing the band as a vehicle for pursuing their musical interests. Their debut CD Bloody Tourist reflected this range, traversing ambient, ethnic, rock, funk and industrial styles. Seen by some critics as a swipe against the tasteful world music fad gripping the chill out rooms and tofu burger bars, Bloody Tourist set the blueprint for the band's lack of preciousness regarding genre "swing and mesh". Released on legendary "Extreme' Label, this release also features David Brown (Candlesnuffer).

“WWUUFFWWUUFFWWUUFF” is the third Struggle At The Snuggle Factory solo album created in 2006 by Portland,Oregon based synth player/vocal-artist Demian Rufus. Developing a plane of consistency along the lines of a post-Indie militant postindustrial d.i.y. neo-folk synth-power plop aesthetic, these songs construct the Deleuze and Guattari influence with a creative act of telling parallel folk-tales of Luciferianism, Masochism, Love, Kainian mythologies, Becoming-pup-beast-man, possessed dogs like “Omen Dog”, and even a re-writing of “Satisfaction” with “Satsf-faktion”.
Melbourne, Experimental, Field Recordings, Pop, Synaesthesia, Avant Garde; CD - Ex Used condition
Francis Plagne's second self titled release presents strange and visual evocations of different places, and the variety of different spaces that shift throughout its 91 minutes. There are claustrophobic spaces, and wide-open vistas conjured through the use of field recordings. Francis Plagne is like looking out the window of a bus as the scenery unfolds. It’s easy to attach metaphors to his sprawling work, but it’s bewildering to discern exactly where Francis is coming from, probably because he’s coming from everywhere at once. You could say it’s a schizophrenic musical identity, but I’d say it’s really just glee and enthusiasm that drive it all. It’s a gleeful act of appropriation, but with such a unique spin on music, it’s hard to label it as merely that. Francis Plagne is forward thinking in its take on the notion of music being everywhere, if you just listen, in the streets, your house, and the park. Francis Plagne is everywhere and everything ; it’s cluttered, but sounds purposefully this way. The title of the track ‘A Chance Exposure To A Distant Rumbling’ reflects one of Francis’ chief aims; random moments in sound coming together all in one place, creating spaces, letting songs form beneath and between their folds. It’s an act of cutting and pasting, a monumental process of trial and error, considering just how many sounds make up his opaque pieces.
