A good starting point for The Dead C. Though there are some questionable omissions this will still give you a very good first glimpse into their world. The Dead C is not for everyone, but if you're looking for the perfect soundtrack for, say, watching a dead seagull decompose on a lonely beach, this might be the purchase for you. New Zealand's The Dead C have been making glorious, uncompromising and terrifying noise for nearly twenty years now, with a sound that blends deft touches of early psychedelia with huge visceral slabs of industrial noise. This well-chosen two-disc set makes a great case for their place in the unique musical universe that includes krautrockers like Neu! and Can, as well as NYC noise-rock legends Swans and Sonic Youth. This is not music for the faint of heart or for those with whimsical musical palettes, but if you dig the sounds of the above bands, and want more like it, this is a great place to dig into these Kiwis' apocalyptic and challenging works.
The purpose of this blog is to expose you to the unique and unrepeatable New Zealand scene known as "Dunedin Sound" that emerged in New Zealand in the early eighties. This space takes over from wonderful blogs that in their time served to make known to the world some of the most significant bands and records of that period. The present collection is dedicated to all those kiwi bands -many of them already forgotten- who, without knowing it, wrote a very important page in the history of music.
