Human - Transmission

Tony Calvert (vocals), Tony Hamill (bass), Richard Lewis (guitars, programming).
The first two played in a group called Tortoise Corpse, so I think this was also recorded in Swansea, but not too sure.
Ministry-Skinny Puppy industrial metal. The third track has this quirky dungeon-synth line that I highly appreciated, as primitive 90's as it gets.

1. Don't Fuck With Truth
2. Pornocracy
3. Terra Nostra
4. Insignificance
5. Human Abattoir
6. Interzone
7. Panopticon
8. Simulcra
9. Human
10. Sex War
11. The Silent Minorities

They've had a couple more releases but I could find any of them, be a mensch and put links down in the comments if you have one of 'em.
Disbanded later in the 90's, Andreas Schiegl started opreating under Hausen, creating more abstract electronic music (or so they say).

Eftus Spectun - Eftus Spectun


British group from Bristol/Bath, Kieran Sheehy on drums, Sam Langley on lead vocals, bass and Oliver White on guitar and vocals. On this one I think they were a duo.

This album is like a transition album between their first era of 'angular math pop', short songs (with madness vibes a-la Cardiac Arrest, Karl Blake, Mother of Inventions, etc..) to the later more abstract style (minimalistic Glenn Branca, Derek Bailey, etc..). First track is the best one, gives a lot of This Heat's vibes. The other two are solo efforts I think, sound collage/noise/dungeon synth/chamber, done well, not the boring kind.

1. Untitled (Eftus Spectun)
2. The Orient (Oliver White)
3. Lagoon (Sam Langley)

Download Here

Streaming links for the rest of their discography:

Era I:
200? - Come And Spoil The View
200? - At The Saveloy
200? - Nat Atley presents
2005 - The Tocks Clicking (a compilation including the first two of those above, plus some other tracks, like this one)
Era II:
2008 - The Talons Snag Binary
2012 - Turtus
2015 - Rutger Hauser / Eftus Spectun 
2016 - In Speeches Thorms Kelm In Pulm Atherol (unavailable for me but maybe that's cause I don't have a spotify account ?)
2020 - Eftus Spectun Live (recorded 2014)

Think I got it all right.

The Garden/The River Split

Kids like The Garden (right ?), I like The Garden.. so here's The Garden.
I've had this split files lying around for years and wanted to post it, but haven't got to do it (like many other planned posts, someday). And now when I finally got it, I discovered that in the meantime it was uploaded to the band's youtube channel, so I wasn't planning to post it, but I noticed that my version has an extra song, with unknown origin, so of course it justifies this post just for the slim chance some fanatic groupie will ever stumble upon it.
The track order is also different from the known tape version, I left it as it was. I excluded The River's part of the split since it's available on their bandcamp.

1. Fruits & Vegetables
2. Quick
3. Tear
4. Bag
5. Release
6. Indina Hollering
7. Silk
8. Glass Eyes
9. Fantasies
10. Air

*****,*****

Ringwood, Green, Coop

Pronounced as two coughs, or sometimes just Cough, Cough and pretty much impossible to google, so here's me hoping to make life easier for those who seek for their music. Short lived trio started in Canberra later moved to Melbourne. Two self-released cassettes, art-punk, lot of no-wave vibes (also a bit This Heat, The Gordons), cool stuff generally, not the greatest quality though.
Allan Coop (later Sunday Painters) on bass, Peter Ringwood on guitar and vocals on second cassette, and Cathy Green (later X, the Aussie X. Could have just equally said the good band called X right ? you would understand which one I'm talkin' about) drumming.
