The only surviving recordings of the original manifestation of The Ug Brothers have been painstakingly mined from the Great Rockery of Yesterday and lovingly polished and uploaded. The only song common to both Ug Brothers sets of 1986 and 1994-5 was Drowning In Your Eyes, and it is interesting to compare the two. It can be found among the Ugstrumentals.

Deep in the depths of the Wud Records vault, we found the Subterraineans Demo. It was mastered on the B-side of a Wud Demo. Unfortunately it was in rather shoddy condition as the years have not been kind to the cassette. With a few digital tweaks we managed to salvage it and have posted it here for you to enjoy.

It sure is strange to hear a man who has been dead for over sixteen years singing again. One of the lines in Short and Sweet is “Give me life!”. This is perhaps the best we can do for dear old Dean. R.I.P.

Laney has written some of her memories of The Subterraineans and Rough Terrain, and these hilarious thoughts have been posted to their proper pages. We hope you enjoy reading them as much as we did! A big thanks to Laney for her efforts. X

As well as more artwork from the insane mind’s eye of Pete, some new Dark Company songs from the Bad Habits album have been uploaded. Whiskey Priest has been up for a while now, and today we have added the latest mixes of Night Man and Knowing, We Are. KWA may well be subject to a remix, this was largely an experiment to see whether the reverbs would cause the RAM to dribble and splutter over everything. As it happens, it didn’t. Hooray!

Some new songs from Alchemeon have been posted to the public area. There are different versions of Orb and Centre of the Cyclone, and versions of Finale and It’s A Blue Sky Don’t Hold No Rain have been added. Songs have been ordered the same as the proposed set list in the forums to see how they sound when played in that order.

The Daylight Demo by Wud from April 1985 has been uploaded. It’s covered in chorus and flange, and if you listen carefully you can hear the workings of the reel-to-reel tape machines at the ends of the tunes. Nevertheless, we still love it.
