Versions, rarities, obscurities.

This one here is more or less an answer to "I am the Law" by The Human League, we heard. Not very pro Judge Dredd & what came after. Features a Raincoats sample.

Greetings!

Hello!

More than 2 weeks of delay, now out at bandcamp: "From: Fake. To: Fear." by California Dreaming. We here at c.i.z. think that this is pop - and not just because it's actuality & relevance goes beyond the Twitter-Trump wars.

Thank you, Mary & Dave!

Keep on sharing in the free world!

There is a lo fi mid price compilation new on our bandcamp:

Many new projects, some one-off, some working on an album.

Cheers!

La A. album!

"This retrospective is so much more contemporary than most zeitgeist releases that it hurts. Almost metaphysical. Paranormal. But totally from within." - Daniela Stewart

Let me share a thought here:

"Identity" does not necessarily have to do with roots or a unique personality. That was made more clear to me, when I threw in"c.i.z. identity politics" as the title of this year's free bandcamp compilation. And then you get tracks thrown at you that have ingredients like robots, "post war" societies based on combat, lines like "What is it? I'll do it", raps by puppets of oligarchs, "Toy House", abstract love songs, werewolves and so much more. Well: Identity is a group thing, but it's kinda liquid and you can't reduce it to stereotypes. Nobody owns it, and there is never only one. There are endless amounts of villages which educate us. Likewise: There is an "essence" to this collection, but it's not important. Richness in perception is.

And my basic thought was: We hide "them".

But that's not the point. Because "they" evolve.

There is no state of art. Or of people.

Cheers,

jko

"The mini album The Screen Age Smombies Meet The NATO Zone Method Actors" by SBR deliciously blends contemporary de-retro with the best of pop music history, never forgetting about Schoenlein Brilliant's hipster following or Brachen's more nerdy devoted followers. Both projects deliver a sparkling little record here that shows what the Twenties can bring for us all - musically as well as conceptually."

Daniela Stewart

"We wanted the more or less original titles, SBR wanted one word titles. Good for them that we @ c.i.z. believe in freedom of the arts in the digital age."

"Yes, this version is different from the one on Captures. Improved now, of course."
