Operation Of The Sonne (LP)

Coming after the monster that was Harsh 70s Reality, and its evil twin, Clyma Est Mort, this album has always confounded even soi-disant Dead C fans. Side 1 documents the discovery of the analogue synthesiser coupled with field recordings from the basement of Willowbank, Koputai's 'most stately' home. Side 2 emerged spontaneously to cassette on stage at the 'fabled' Empire Tavern - and it still sounds like stripping the breathable atmosphere from an already-depleted biosphere.

Newly remastered by Lasse Marhaug, and with bonus tracks, these 2023 reissues have been cut carefully and loud, with the sonic wars heard on these now-classic tracks for blaring than ever.
