Taped Up

ANDREW SPITTLE Songs of Shallow (Demolition) .. Dunedin's most prolific noisemonger/ singer/ songwriter (no not in that sense) returns with a mere 17 new songs. This should please his two fans in Kamo (fact!) and also everyone else who likes absurdly fragile melodies delivered at ■_ discomfort speed, almost but not quite overpowered by (what sounds like hundreds of) guitars that don't -

excoriate like, say, Rake's, but are more genuinely unruly than just about any others playing pop music outside the 3D$. This time round the shiny rigour of a drum machine exaggerates the sonic and emotional disintegration all around it. Right thinking citizensshould dispatch $l O to 17 Pioneer Crescent, Dunedin, forthwith. . . MATTHEW HYLAND HIERONYMOUS BOSCH & LEPTERANYLUM Suckman/ Whoregod/ Tortured Remains . 1 A promotional tape thingy sold for $2 at gigs by someone who looks suspiciously like the bellowing anit-rock star Max Ego without the Marcel . Marceau make over. Hieronymous Bosch have wisely not attempted to recreate their percussion-monster live sound in the studio. The result is that the sample based 'Suckman' shudders and squirms quite attractively, but 'Whoregod' sounds like it might from outside the Gluepot. . , Leper Asylum play a variant of. Death Metal whose vision of hell , < seems to involve loud, clean, unplayable guitar solos over mud:. , coloured staccato rhythms, with a voice deeper than the bass frequency and sweaty tattoed biceps everywhere, sounds fairly accurate to me. MATTHEWHYLAND RHINO & ATLANTIC Indie compilation / reissue label. Rhino Records will now be distributed internationally by Warner Music and Rhino will have access to the Atlantic vaults to reissue the label's classic soul recordings. . •• * . The first CDs to be issued by Rhino 'will be double collections by Wilson Pickett and Solomon Burke and single CDs by Percy Sledge and Clarence Carter.
