MENT 003 RED SQUARE : RARE AND LOST 70'S RECORDINGS LP 04.2016
Ultra-rare recordings by '70s UK avant-rockers Red Square, the missing link between
original free-noise practitioners like AMM, Nihilist Spasm Band, and Peter Brotzmann
and post-no wavers a la The Blue Humans, Borbetomagus, Fushitsusha, and The Dead C.
Named after the early Soviet Constructivists, Red Square is a pioneering free-improv.,
avant-rock band. They bridged the worlds of psychedelic rock, noise, and avant-jazz,
and many of the techniques and approaches to music that they helped to pioneer have
become common practice today. Predating Sonic Youth by seven years.

Mental Experience present an expanded reissue of Voigt/465's 1979 album Slights Spoken,
titled Slights Still Unspoken (1978-1979). Formed in Sydney in 1976, Voigt/465 was a
truly unique band from the exciting days of the Australian post-punk scene. Heavily
influenced by such luminaries as the Velvets, Stooges, Syd Barrett, Pere Ubu, Can,
Faust, Henry Cow, Slapp Happy, and Eno's Roxy Music, they created an abrasive sound
in which krautrock, DIY, avant-garage, post-punk, psych, art-rock, and free improv
noise combined to form a sound unlike any other. In 1978, they released one of the
first DIY 45s from Australia, State/A Secret West, which showed their "pop-psych"
side and was played by John Peel in the UK. The following year, their bass player
Lindsay O'Meara decided to leave the band and join Crime & The City Solution in
Melbourne. Before parting ways, Voigt/465 decided to record one last album as a
testament. Slights Spoken saw the light in 1979 and it's without doubt one of the
most fascinating albums from the post-punk/DIY era. The entire album is featured
here, including the two tracks from their first 45. Includes download coupon which
features three live tracks from '78-79, including killer covers of Faust, Can, and
Roxy Music. RIYL: Can, Faust, Pere Ubu, Roxy Music, Family Fodder, The Homosexuals,
Slapp Happy, This Heat, Pop Group, Primitive Calculators. Remastered sound; Insert
with rare photos and liner notes by band member Phil Turnbull.

of the TV Personalities (one of my fave 'DIY; bands), early 'paisley underground' like
Three O'Clock (maybe when they were the Salvation Army), wobbly but illuminated '60s
folk-garage like Faine Jade, and even first wave UK punk like Subway Sect or yes, thee

Pyramid titles, Temple were an ad-hoc outfit born out of several late-night sessions
at Dierks Studios (where Toby was working at that time), involving local friends of
Toby and other musicians from adjoining studios, among them Zeus B. Held (Birth
Control). Temple played a kind of heavy, dark psychedelic krautrock with ahead of its
time proto-Goth vibe. Loud guitars, Hammond, Mini-Moog, Mellotron, distorted and
echoing vocals, effects...

MENT 020 WILD HAVANA WILD HAVANA LP 04.2018
Mental Experience present a reissue of Wild Havana's self-titled album, originally
released in 1977. Obscure Dutch private pressing of laid-back instrumental psychedelic
/progressive sounds with jazz-funk-groove and abstract/experimental/Latin-indigenous
touches. Stoned homemade atmosphere with treated/distorted electric and acoustic
guitars, flute, electric piano, primitive drum machines/homemade electronics...
Much in the vein of the experimental-underground scene of France and Germany during
the early '70s but actually recorded and released in Holland. Wild Havana was the
project of guitar player Johan Smith, helped by his brother Cor on flute. Influenced
by artists like Zappa and Herbie Hancock, Johan recorded the Wild Havana album at his
home studio on a 4-track, using effect devices developed by himself, like a modified
proto-drum machine taken from a Hammond organ. He also used effects like phase shifter,
chorus, etc. and experimented with putting wool on the guitar strings and electric
effects on the mandolin. The result sounded like nothing else at the time. Buried for
many years, we're excited to bring to life this unique album. RIYL: Herbie Hancock,
Richard Pinhas, Christian Boule, Orexis... Insert with liner notes by band member
Johan Smit. "...a beautiful, strange psych-prog LP with abstract compositions ,
experimental edges and some funk hints" --Mutant Sounds

for dub music and electronica. After a tour promoting the album, some members left
the band and the remaining band members - Val Haller, JJ Johnson and Henry Padovani
(ex-Police) - decided to continue as Electric Chairs. The trio record some tracks
again with David Cunningham as producer. The result was the 'So Many Ways'/'J'Attends
Les Marines' single, released in November 1979. Here's the first ever vinyl reissue
of this sought after punk-funk/no wave release. Featuring original artwork, expanded
