MUS41 CRISIS – Hymns of Faith MLP ‘Hymns Of Faith’ by Crisis is finally re-released after some thirty years and yet it seems like only yesterday that I bought it upon its release. For thirty years, I have championed Crisis, like some kind of leper in the musical wilderness. I still cannot believe that La Vida Es Un Mus finally heard me. Very few records deserve the tag of classic, but ‘Hymns Of Faith’ is a classic record! Recorded by a band that was in the throes of death, this…

NER MAIL ORDER IST KAPUT! After over 25 years I’ve decided to close NER Mail Order. The advent of the internet and the flourishing of online stores that deal more comprehensively with selling the Death In June and associated catalogue has made this once very important venture now redundant. The fact that Death In June releases are now issued from anywhere except England is also a contributing factor. It makes no financial or logical sense to send stock of titles to England (or Australia!) only to be sent on elsewhere…

THE GRASS IS ALWAYS BROWNER On this Summer/Winter Solstice here is a gift and a challenge to some of you in this group and elsewhere who are musically, or otherwise, inclined. Whilst beginning my writing of the new album ‘The Rule Of Thirds’ in October last year a certain ex(? can you ever be ‘ex’?) member of 10.SS Panzer Divison ‘Frundsberg’ came to mind and these words came into being. Please feel free to put them to music of your own creation, or even do a cappella versions, of how…

Recorded in Australia prior to the pair starring in the cult film ‘Pearls Before Swine’ it is a unique, melodic and richly orchestrated ode to modern living, modern loving – and modern hating. Joined by percussionist John Murphy (ex- SPK, The Associates, current…

The ‘Heilige Tod.’ Hath Not The Soul Descended upon Those that are Living?” (Extract from original 1987 press release) Considered by some to be one of the most influential albums of all time, standing centrestage with works by The Beatles, The Velvet…
