Ali Bongo R.I.P. 2009
 
Whether it was conjuring, sporting a great 'tache, sinister spectacles or a turban or indeed a combination of all the above there was only one and there will ever only be one Mr. Ali Bongo.
Q: What is The Re-cyculled Series of Recorded Over Pre-Owned Tapes?
 
A: The Re-cyculled Series of  Recorded Over Pre-Owned Tapes is a series of audio cassette tapes that have
one side recorded over by our impressive roster of  artistes and one side  featuring what ever was on the
other side at the time. Recycling the old whilst hopefully simultaenously introducing new listening
experiences.  In theory no two cassettes are the same. 
STRIKE 1  SKULL PAGODA
 
ROLLING DRONES
(SOLD OUT)
 
C60 Cassette and first ever release in the Re-cyculled Series of Recorded Over Pre-Owned Tapes features a
mixed bag of five one minute drones, clunks, spasms, a-rthymic hums and spakka mentalist noise loops from
S.K.'s ever fluctuating line-up.  Possibly the debut from these guys not sure, but it's definately their first for Shit
Skittle...  and probably not their last either. Limited to 37 copies wrapped in hideous silk screened fold-out
poster sleeve and sticker.

STRIKE 2  SCUMBELLINA
 
I WANNA GO PEE PEE

THE INPENETRABLE HUGENESS OF DEATH
(SOLD OUT)
C60 tape.  A maudlin companion piece to the EXECUTION GROUND LAMENTS release. This time the group
explore the sense of loss via the medium of traditional folk songs gleaned from their native Albania and
Hungary environs.  At once sad, mental, moving yet uplifting the deathly gravitas is always presented with a
solid positive approach by all participants which this time include a full choir and a calliope which hints at subtle
tones of black carnival dirges and mourning overtures.  66 copies bound in replica order of service. 
SOLD OUT
STRIKE 7  VJOARK!
 
METEMBE!
(SOLD OUT)
C60 tape.  In 2007 members of THE SINGING SONGS, SKULL PAGODA and "not very nice really noisey
American upstarts" COLONBUS 1492 were  invited to tour the continent of Africa.  For this project they
named themselves Vjoark!  Jamming with many local musicians this eclectic and fascinating cassette is the
result.  A blend of  western out-rock psychedelic no-wave funky punk blitzes entwined with mystical indiginous
native colonial rythyms and regional melodies. With silk screened tour map. 84 copies only.
SOLD OUT
SORRY FOLKS, BUT THIS PAGE WAS ALSO AFFECTED BY THE SAME DISASTER THAT
AFFECTED THE MAIN RAP (H)OWL PAGE.  DATA HAS BEEN LOST AND NO MATTER HOW
MUCH WE TRIED WE CAN'T RETRIEVE IT.  OUR NEW MOTTO IS: UNINTENTIONALLY SEEKING
IMPERFECTION AS A WAY OF STRIFE.  SO SORRY!
STRIKE 9  SKULL PAGODA
 
MEN OF ROCK
CD-R. Skull Pagoda's studio debut pukes forth 21 tracks of fuddy, muzzy, ramshackle filth un-rock punky
shredded deaf mental blues felch.  Saucy? Erudite?  Witness songs of love, songs that bear the almighty
scope of nature, revel in post-wank sci-fi fantasy.  The core duo of BRAD BOREDOM and MIKE SHIT
butted heads and skirmished long and hard with guitars, power electronics, samples and the inhuman
voice as the weapons of choice to bring the world this crud, then "Fuzz" Fuckerton unusually mixed it all
down using a computer.  Digital recordings have nere sounded so feral.  Hear 10 songs now if your ears
can stand it at
www.myspace.com/skullpagoda  Limited to just 99 copies, LAST FEW COPIES!Incidentally since recording this mong-u-mental release the band have changed their monika to MR.
HAIR.  Here's a site you might like to browse...

In December 2009 an executive decision was made to record all future projects under
one collective name as it was proving too time consuming for the kindly individual
who maintains our sites to constantly update you folk with the latest information.  All
future releases will now be issued by MR. HAIR.  The first MR. HAIR recordings
"THE CHARLIE CANNON" CD-R have been released by our new sister imprint
FUDGEWAY AMUSEMENTS.  Click
