4 Flies On Grey Velvet/The Praying Gods/The Violet Grind
Originally released 1999
Back to the splits, I got so many 4FOGV/Jason Campbell splits from 99-02 that it seems completely crazy to me that I cannot find more copies of them online, the only one I can find ever is the JC/Prurient split and whoever ripped it didn't even scan the full artwork! But I have to admit that these tapes had a very outsized influence on my young self and exposed me to way more noise weirdos than I could have possibly hoped, for instance the supremely weird Praying Gods! PG and 4FOGV are both from London Ontario, which meant nothing at all to me back when I first found them on mp3.com, but since I have learned that that city is the home to the Nihilist Spasm Band and has been since 1968 or so, so maybe that is part of what shaped these noisey weirdos? Or maybe they had no idea and London is just a weird place to live. And also Violet Grind, who I know nothing about really, although looking at their discogs page I probably should, they put out stuff on labels I was into at the time even! Ah so many missed opportunities, so many old noise tapes I'll never listen to, so here's another one cast off into the void, in the hopes that it reaches interested ears-
