This really was a double cd called Bad Timing I & II, but the box I received had twice the same disc with a different cd cover. Meh. So if anyone has the second disc, please send it over here. Anyway, this is an IMMERSIVE mix of Jazzfinger live performances at their absolute best = not extremely noisy or badly recorded, but with a hypnotic and outright devotional approach. The gigs themselves must have been amazing for the audiences. 2007 cdr on Fuckin' Amateurs.

Jazzfinger - The Ducal Palace
First rehearsal in 1996 of the initial duo form of Jazzfinger (Hasan Gaylani and Ben Jones) abusing guitars and basses. Very heavy, noisy, fuzzy and with a sense of green-ish muck pervading. 2009 cd on Turgid Animal.

Various – George Ferguson McKeating 2CDR
The first Bells Hill label release was a benefit compilation in the memory of the head of the label and musician (Mudguts, Black Leather Cop) Scott McKeating's father who died of Pancreatic Cancer, with the money intended to be donated to the Pancreatic Research Fund and included a small heartfelt note by Scott. The musicians who gathered to pay respect are the following, including giants of the English and American experimental/noise scene: the one and only Richard Youngs collaborating with Alex Neilson (ex-Ashtray Navigations), Astral Social Club, Culver, Mirag (Matthew Bower), Hapsburg Braganza, Vars of Litchi, Hasan Gaylani (of Jazzfinger), Jazzfinger themselves, Graveyards (with John Olson of Wolf Eyes), Greg Kelley again with Alex Neilson, Mechanical Children, Trauma, and Blood Stereo (Dylan Nyoukis and Karen Constance). So, by the names you know you should expect top drone, noise, experimental and psychedelic music. 2009 2XCDR on Bells Hill.

Popular Radiation & Witchblood - Live At The Mining Institute split tape
This is an amazing split live tape recorded in Newcastle and shared between Popular Radiation and Witchblood. PR is a solo project of Jazfinger's Hasan Gaylani, so you know you should expect something good. This isn't Jazzfinger-like improvisations but a grinding, climactic drone accompanied by some deep bass noises. It's very good, but the highlight is Witchblood, a project of the omniscient droner Lee Stokoe of Culver and one of the most talented women in noise, Lucy Johnson, whose Smut releases I've just posted. What we have here is one of the most beautiful and enveloping drone recordings ever made, consisting of a maniacal piano melody (played by Lucy?) and a deafening, screaming siren drone (Lee-made?) that sounds like it's played on strings, but I'm not sure. I really can't get enough of this, it has an amazing cathartic quality and must be placed among the classics of modern experimental music. 2014 tape on Boiled Brains Bootlegs.
