A Ramleh question
 

How representative is the new Ramleh 10" of their sound generally?

If it's not representative of their sound generally, is there anything else of theirs that is similar to it?

Try Blowhole from 1991. I'd say that's probably a bit more representative.

It's certainly very representative of their "rock" line-up - I like the 10-inch a lot. Their "power electronics" line-up may well make another appearance at some point.

Is Blowhole more rock or power electronics?

I like the "Loop in a dirty basement" sound of the 10", that's what I'd like to hear more of.

If you can find the Sympathy For The Record Industry 7"s from the mid-90s, they have that sound. Also the 7" for "Pristine Womankind" that came out on that one label whose name I can't remember offhand. They always used thick, natural cardstock covers that are super nice.

I can hook you up with a Blowhole LP on the super-cheap from my workplace as well...

Whoops! I thought you guys were talking about the band Blowhole.

The Ramleh "Blowhole" album totally has the sound you're looking for, and is one of my very favorites.

OK, this will be my last post in a row, but here are a few of the 7"s I have and love:

"Say Fuck"

"8 Ball Corner Pocket"

"Welcome/Pristine Womankind"

Thank you, kind people.

All of the Ramleh 7-inch releases have been compiled onto the "Too Many Miles" compilation CD. There are copies still available at the Dirtier Promotions store: http://www.dirter.co.uk/shop.html

ramleh, thats one power electronics group that has always failed to move me.
