Alien Brains ‎– "It's All History Now 1979-1985" (VOD 2014)


It's always handy to whip out an extra brain or two when needed,so,here's that Alien Brains box set on VOD.
Alien Brains were a sort of Avant-DIY supergroup based around Nigel Jacklin, for those who don't know or care, in which case what are you reading this for?
Its got the usual unattainable stuff thats been chopped up and edited and shuffled about with; all in a lovely presentation pack with a hefty price tag. DIY music is no longer the cheap option it seems? "Menial disorders" cost me a blank C-90 and two way postage from Deleted Records in 1980, and now you have to pay £100 quid plus for Alien Brains product.Thats Market forces I suppose?
Its got a cleaned up version of the Menial Disorders tape, but edited, and some stuff chopped out altogether.
Of course the unedited versions of "Menial Disorders" and "Alien Brains IV" are available on this blog in 320k Mp3.Quality.

'...thats been chopped up and edited and shuffled about with.'
VOD: notorious for fucking up the original intent (and thereby integrity) of many of its label's artists. All in a day's work for some greedy exploiters I suppose.

Regarding VOD's presentation didn't the artist agree to it? Not sure how VOD is to blame when the artist has the control.
