Jonathan Briley ‎– "From Kain To Abel......." (Inner-X-Musick ‎– XXX 45) 1987


Enter another Sleepchamber member who made better music on his own.
He was the one from the eighties incarnation who looked like a naughty school teacher.
It's all well made standard Dark Ambient Industrial style muzak.Real good as background sounds to a board games evening with a group of special friends.Which is probably why I don't have any friends anymore?
This stuff may get dismissed as american late-comers by those Industrial snobs who were....er... "There"... when these things were happening,but its jolly good fun to just absorb the silence by.
Right, now where's me Toast?

A1 Vortex-(Instrumental Remix) 7:51
A2 Heaven's Sounding Sweeter All The Time 5:21
A3 Rize Ov The Carrion 3:02

Sleep Chamber - "Musik For Mannequins" (Inner-X-Musick ‎– XXX-C4) 1984




 Boston USA(not Boston, Lincs,UK) S+M Fan, and Industrial culture perv,John Zewizz, aka John McSweeny, of Women of the SS fame; was, and still is,making Sleep Chamber records from about 1980. This is a rather artfully produced cassette from the early 80's.Sounds rather like Skinny Puppy fronted by Mr Bean on mogadon and viagra; not that I've heard Skinny Puppy since the 1980's, but my memory tells me they sounded like this, albeit a more in yer face version of Sleep Chamber's more creepy random synth arpegiator driven toons. Not a patch on Women of the SS in my humble opinion;it has a certain period charm that has dated badly; but the same 'dark' sexual themes  dominate, and can get quite tiresome. Give it a try, it certainly lived up to its group moniker, and sent me to sleep; although my dreams weren't exactly comfortable, or, regrettably, sexual!  

Track Listing:
1. Victmm
2. Jungle Disease
3. The Lantern
4. A Distant Cry
5. Conversations In Between Walls
6. Left Side Of The Tomb
7. Twenty Three
8. The Last Fantasy
9. Rite To Death

Sleep Chamber ‎– "W:O:M" (Inner-X-Musick ‎– XXX-14) 1985


Ohhh! Thats a bit rude innit? Nazi's or Lesbo sex on yer cassette cover is an assured way of getting noticed. The trouble with Sleep Chamber is He (John Zewizz) means it! Easy way out lowest common denominator shock value, can often be used to mask a lack of creativity, or "talent". In this case, this is sort of true, but I kinda like it. Mr. Bean on mogadon makes another appearance reciting bad echo-laden poetry over a backing of half-assed synth sequences, with some terrrible analogue drum programming(by someone called Darline Victor); it almost sounds improvised,which if true, would make this a fine work indeed! I dunno weather I love or Hate this generic kind of Industrial musik, 'cus every time I listen to it, i think I could be doing this myself instead of sitting around doing nothing! Well, sometimes its good to relax and let some creepy american geezers do it for you. Would prefer a variety of themes though, as opposed to constant obessions with taboo sexual practices. N.b. : - W:O:M stands for Weapons ov Magick by the way! Alluding to another immensely boring over-subscribed subject, Aliester Crowley.....Yawn. Recorded Live at the following venues: A1-A3 recorded live in Marshfield, RH 8:26:84 A4-A6, B4 recorded live at Johnny D's 11:25:84 A7, B1-B3, B5 recorded live at Chets Last Call 10:3:84 B6 recorded live at the Paradise Theatre 9:26:84

Ze Wizz Kidz ‎– "Ze Wizz Kidz" (Inner-X-Musick ‎– XXX 12) 1979

Here's John Zewizz's(Sleep Chamber, Women of the SS) debut cassette, as Ze Wizz Kidz, from 1979. He's obviously just bought a synth, and has just recorded its throbbing, with a bit of a random waveform setting. Then mumbled some vocalising on the top. This is better then Sleep Chamber. Notice, even then, he was still obsessed with a bit of naughty S+M. What a very naughty boy, Tsk Tsk Tsk. Unfortunately I only have side one of this rarity......but who wants to listen to two sides of this anyway?  

Track Listing:
A1 The Signal
A2 Hell Employee
A3 Waiting
 A4 Lungs, Lungs, Lungs
 A5 Doomed
