Metabolist - "Goatmanaut" (Drömm Records Cassette ) 1979

Sort of a mini-album/cassette filled with the trademark Metabolised Zeuhl Industrial Prog that Metabolist isn’t famous for. But given time, lots of it, they will be........won’t they?
I'm pleased to say that once upon a time Malcolm Lane, the main man in Metabolist, was once so kind as to praise my group, Scouts of Uzbekistan('s), track "Je M'en Fou", with this flattering critique: "I think I just Shit myself!". High praise indeed!?

Tracklist:

A1	Zordan Returns	11:00
B1	Chained	7:18
B2	Thru The Black Hole	6:00

Metabolist ‎– "Identify" (Drömm Records ‎– drö-03) 1980

Excellently abrasive post-punk  krautrock groove from the magisterial Metabolist. Very like Tago-Mago era Can forced through a fine filter of Punk Rock,with an alien singing in a language from another galaxy; fine use of a harsh slapback echo on these unintelligible lyrics make for a great single,that wouldn't make the charts even on the planet where this language is spoken!
The B-side is one of those foggy distorted ambient pieces you got on This Heat's first LP. Yes, its that good.

Tracklist:

A	Identify
B	Tiz Hoz Nam

Metabolist - "Hansten Klork" (Drömm Records Drö 2) 1980

This is Metabolist’s “tubular bells” side 2 as produced by conny plank. Almost has accessible moments, with “Curly Wall”(click here for mp3 sample) being the ‘greatest hit’ in its sort of No Wave Krautrock funk kind of a way. And “Alien on Sunday” is a Neu-esque motorik sub-anthem for disaffected youth.

“Quack” is a sparse, Magma meets This Heat’s Horizontal Hold, repetitive ‘tour de force’, that ends too quickly; mainly due to the restrictions of vinyl in the pre-CD age. (Should have released this on cassette.....they are longer and they sound better).

A buried classic of what was basically nu-prog, which was labelled post-punk by the muzak media. A progressive music that was enriched by the lack of the public school/future leaders influence (Peter Hammill is excused from this harsh bracket and Joe Strummer is most definitely IN-cluded). Punk Rock made this all possible, problem was it made Duran Duran possible too, but you can’t win them all, a bird in the hand etc.....blah blah blah! Ah Fuck off!
