I am definitively falling in love with all these gouls and monsters from the 50's/60's. I grab samples from the excellent album At Home With The Munsters released in 1964 by Golden Records. Illustrating a night with T.V.'s most unusual familly. (You can find the whole album + additional bonus in MP3 here).

I've just found other MP3 samples from The Munsters avalaible at the Sound And Music Library website.

Directly related a track by Martinibomb and The Coconut Monkeyrocket : The Munsterbeat.mp3 (right click to download).Found at Oddiooverplay website.

i also use tracks from Otto Von Schirach 's LP Escalo Frio released in 2001 on Schematic and Richard Devine album Cautella released in 2005 on Sublight with collaborative work of Otto Von Schirach.

You can also hear, at the end of this mix, tracks from the Illegal Art Exhibit CD Compilation from Illegal Art that i remix with additional music layers. If you are interesting in outrageous samples, compulsive beats, cut & paste and illegal music if you want to know more about ANTICOPYRIGHT activism and those behind Illegal Art netlabel visit their website read an interview here and BUY their music !

The Shape of Punk to Come

1966...IT'S MONK TIME !

Five former American GIs band, The Monks ,released 'Black Monk Time' LP in Germany in the mid 60's. Twisted rolls and fuzzy rock, upbeat drumming, electric banjo, crazy organ, speed-haunted voices and ropes tied around the neck. Their music is all about rhythm and experimenting around beats, introducing weird harmonies and punching lyrics. Just one album, but every song is a dirty gem.

Listen to : boys are boys and girls are choice.mp3 and monk time.mp3

If you want to know more about the boys check out The Monks website.

Sid Laverents(1908) biography

a geniously inspired amateur composer and film-maker.

listen to the song : Heidi.mp3 (featuring his dog!)

watch his masterpiece : Multiple SIDosis.mp4

"Multiple SIDosis : Though the first, non-musical part of the film may seem slow, seeing the meticulousness of Sid’s process (reading the instructions, arranging on staff paper) is totally what the movie is about. That care is required to achieve the brilliant brain candy of a musical number."

get : Roctober magazine #36 (including 9 tracks CD)

RoctoberMagazine#36(Sid's interview) i've personally written several e-mails to Mr. Laverents [sidchar@CTS.com] but sadly i am still waiting for an answer; he is actually euh ... 98. maybe i should send a postcard ! [3705 Mesa Vista Way Bonita, CA 91902, USA] ....................i hope someday i' ll find his movies.

incredible u.s. extra low-budget/sci-fi/horror movie : Queen Of Blood.mov (1966)

Trivia : original story from Mechte Navstrechu (UNCREDITED)The elaborate special effects were taken (UNCREDITED) from the big budget Soviet production Nebo Zovyot (1960).

Goofs : Revealing mistakes: The Cyrillic letters CCCP (USSR) can be seen on the side of the "American" rocket ship, betraying the fact that this film used stock footage from a Russian sci-fi film. (more)
