***It’s an entire day for pilfering insights from our friends at Volcanic Tongue—do try to keep up, there’s a good lad. This “[m]assively potent retrospective collection of early work by ANTHONY DI FRANCO of RAMLEH… bundles the Il Pach Preserve and Woelf cassettes (Broken Flag 1987 and 1988) with two previously unreleased tracks and a track from the Inna Inner Amen cassette (Sound of Pig 1988). Like the early Total and Skullflower sides, JFK seem deformed by the first wave of avant rock coming out of the USA post-Sonic Youth but with an intense / ecstatic industrial overload…. [C]ombinations of lightning strikes of bass, chainsaw fuzz, pugilistic a-temporal drum machine assaults and warped, urgent vocals—think Suicide, Chrome, the opening chords of ‘Iron Man,’ all reduced to insane gravities of electricity.”
