CRAWLING CHAOS ‘SPOOKHOUSE’ (EE25 - CD)
limited to 500 copies
Remember Crawling Chaos?
Debuting post-punk art rock ensemble on Factory UK with the single 'Sex Machine'/'Berlin' (1980). They soon got dumped to Factory Benelux (who released their first LP 'The Gas Chair' in early 1982) for being too unclassifiable. Too weird? What else left but to put up their own Foetus Products for the musical output of Crawling Chaos and their many other disguises.... They reached a modest cult status, especially with the LP albums 'The Big C' (1984) and 'Waqqaz' (1985). 'Spookhouse' is a collection of their last ever recordings from 1987, unpublished so far, except for 2 tracks that were previously released before on cassette compilations by EE Tapes in 1987 and 1990.

The newest track by Story Off (the minimal synth-project by Chesko from Der Klinke) is Amazing Stories and it's well...amazing.
Music like it was made in 1983 in times where bands like Fad Gadget ruled the airwaves.
You can discover the band this Saturday on stage at the New Wave-Minimal Synth Fest in Wommelgem along with Sol 19, Eleven Pond and Newclear Waves.
Today is the 5th Anniversary of Sophie Lancaster's death. Sophie and her boyfriend were attacked by a number of males in their mid-teens while walking through Stubbylee Park in Bacup, Rossendale in Lancashire, England. As a result of her severe head injuries Sophie went into a coma, never regained consciousness, and died thirteen days later. The police said the attack may have been provoked by the couple's wearing gothic fashion and being members of the goth subculture.
Please share this in memory of her and let's stamp out prejudice hatred and intolerance everywhere! You can also support the Sophie Lancaster Foundation (website / Facebook).
Below, the song "Illusion", which Ronan Harris of VNV Nation dedicated to Sophie Lancaster.
