From
Roadrunners, Two From The Vault series, you do get 2
classic records in one. What else to say? If you don’t
know them, get that shit. Metallica covered Alchohol
and Joe went on to start the Bosstones with Dicky
for everyone new to this. Another tight re-issue.

Since
the Where the Wild Things Are
comp, most of us had at least 2 Uppercut songs and some
new ass philosophy of moderation that the straight edge
kids were like, "fuck that"
and us drunks were like. "What is that?...This
is pushing the positive message thing to unecessary,
if you want to drink, fucking drink!"
But what is and was undeniable is how hardcore this
band was, old school NY sound, hardline lyrics about
how to live, even if you didn't agree, Uppercut were
there, hardcore, and a part of this NY thing. Another
tight Blackout issue or re-issure depending on how you
see it. Murphy's big growl takes me back. (blackout) |

The
Netherlands' Angelmaker Records has boldly and absurdly
gone where no Iron Maiden fans have dared to go before.
They have without shame put together easily this year's
most ridiculous album...and strangely I dig the shit
out of it! Picture if you will German electro pioneers
Kraftwerk doing a cover album of classic as well as
a few newer Maiden songs. Well Kraftwewrk didn't actually
do any of the re-tweaks, but several European electro
artist did. Are you done laughing yet? While this set
is definitely not for the denim & leather crowd,
you gotta appreciate the pure insanity and (gulp) beauty
of this thing. Highlights include the Acid Junkies'
minimalist version of "Wrathchild," Mr. Velcro
Fastener's almost New Order-ish take on "The Trooper"
and Macondo's mix-radio friendly, almost fashion show
runway-worthy treatment of 'Purgatory." There's
even a quote from original Maiden vocalist Paul Di'Anno
on the back cover endorsing this wackiness. Up The...SYNTHS!!!
