Here youŽll find: useful(?) CD reviews, links to cool/weird bands, my unnecesary opinions, and music files from unsigned bands.

And now I finally got my very first original LP by Snowy Red, after a long time with just a CDR copy of the Right to Die, I finally caught the original, and I consider myself really luck, cause this is in perfect condition the vinyl sounds great, no snap, no skips. This LP contains some of the greatest hits by Snowy Red, Euroshima and Never Alive, funny how great a home recording could be, no? Yes, this is mentioned to be recorded at home!
Getting back to the Portion Control subject, after a better listen and some reading, one interesting story is that the Skinny Puppy demo was refused by Third Mind Records because Skinny Puppy, sounded too much like Portion Control, can you believe that? comparing the material from Simulate Sensual LP with the Skinny Puppy demo, the similarity is scary! The vocals by Ogre are awfully similar with the vox of the early Portion Control songs... coincidence? maybe not, as far as I know Skinny Puppy may have been influenced by Portion Control at least a bit, considering another influence, Legendary Pink Dots in case, who were from In Phaze Music, same label of Portion Control at that time.
