PORCUPINE TREE - In The Begining

Porcupine Tree's initial recordings were rather strange. Kind of quirky and almost silly. Certainly not the emotion powerhouse that they are now. This anthology of sorts combines their first recordings being: "Love, Death and Moussolini", "Tarquin's Seaweed Farm" and of course "Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape".

THE DARKNESS - B-Sides

It was a shame that this band only released two albums. They made rock (cock?) music popular again. Their songs were very catchy and ....naughty! Here is a collection of their B-Sides.

DEF LEPPARD - Rarities Disc

I created this compilation to include some of Def Leppard's first recordings. "First Strike" was released VERY briefly and then deleted per the band's request.

Sunn o))) and Boris - Her Lips Were Wet With Venom

This was part of a 2CD special edition of ALTAR. I wasn't lucky enough to find a copy so I had to download it. One song and over 28 minutes of drone. You really have to give this one a chance. If anyone has "The Sinking Belle (Black Sheep)" or "The Sinking Belle (White Sheep)" it would be greatly appreciated:)

Ok, so this isn't really rare. But ever since I bought this CD two weeks ago, it hasn't left my player. Kinda drone, kinda doom, a little wacky.
