Calva Y Nada - Die Katze Im Sack [ep] (1994)
Presumably a part-Spanish, part-German band that started around 1990, Calva Y Nada were at the forefront of dark electro music, together with other bands, e.g. Skinny Puppy (see below). This release is an ep containing six tracks, in total about 27 minutes. The music is deceptively simple: a fair amount of repetition, no complex arrangements... But they do create a really cool atmosphere. It's like being in cold war era Eastern Europe, in a dark bunker that's being used as a party venue. Particularly enjoyable are the vocals here: deep, growling chants that perfectly capture the industrial mood of the time. Nice bits of airy synth, too. As for the tracks, I'm only a little disappointed by the first one, it's just too predictable and easy. The other five are great fun! The cd booklet numbers the tracks from one to six; on the internet it appears that these tracks have actual titles, too.Calva_Y_Nada_Die_Katze_Im_Sack_192.rar

Great post! I never heard this group before. How about something bombastic/classical/martial/orchestral. Looking for limited/rare releases on LP in this genre/style. Thanks and keep it up.
What the hell do you mean "bombastic/classical/martial/orchestral"?? I get the impression you're trying to reach unknown shores... Hmm I'll post some Stravinsky & Schönberg for you. And Cage. Or Wagner. Oh, make sure you listen to Cosi Fan Tutti by Mozart before you die, as that is the most "bombastic/classical/martial/orchestral" work I've ever come across!
Otherwise, please expound. :-)
ROCK ON !!!!
