 Been going crazy trying to re-upload a bunch of dead files. Decided to do everyone (mostly myself) a favor & make a NEW post.

Here’s some out-of-print heavy funk by the former Last Poets member Umar Bin Hassan.

It was released in 1993 on the now defunct Axiom Records label. It features some great funk/soul luminaries: Bootsy Collins; Fuday Musa Suso; Bill Laswell; Bernie Worrel; & Buddy Miles among others.

The first track “… Scared of Revolution” has a great Gil Scott-Heron “Revolution Will Not Be Televised” vibe, as good or better. This release is a true over-looked classic that has somehow remained relatively obscure. The fact that it is out of print attests to that fact.

Year of Release: 1993
Label: Axiom 74321 153762
Genre: Funk

Tracklist:
Niggers are Scared of Revolution
Am
Bum Rush
This is Madness
Malcolm
Pop
Love
40 Deuce Street

Update January 16th, 2013: As NØ aluded to in his previous post, I have finally returned from my adventures in darkest Africa. He and I will be working to re-upload many of the albums that were lost in the great file purges that took place on many of the major file hosting services after the seizure and closing of Megaupload. Almost every blog was affected by this, and unfortunately ours was no exception. Before these purges, Mediafire was easily my favorite file hosting service of choice. However, after reading about how they deleted countless files that were perfectly legal, such as music released under a creative commons license, or shared with permission from the artist, I have decided to look for greener pastures. This means I am going to have to experiment with different hosts until I can regularly deliver download links from a reliable host.

Please comment if any of you can recommend a good file host. I have been away for nearly a year, during which I had access to the computer/internet very little, and a lot can change during that time period on the internet. The primary thing I am looking for is a hosting service that provides longevity, in that they are unlikely to delete the file due to a DMCA complaint or a mistake, as far as the files are concerned. Of course, it would be great if this host met other standards, such as: acceptable file size limitations, no wait time for free users, fast download speeds etc. Again, please leave a comment if you can recommend such a host. I will be conducting an experiment of my own to find the best possible host in the meantime.

This will be the first of what will be many posts containing updated download links. I will begin re-upping Ren & Stimpy Production Music Vol. 2 as soon as I finish writing this. After that I plan on focusing on the posts which have the most re-upload requests. For those who may be new to this blog, I hope you enjoy what we have in store for you, and to those long-time visitors who might still be around, I hope that you discover something that you may have missed the first time around.

Update November 8th, 2010: I posted this several months ago, but as a few readers so kindly pointed out, I neglected to include the last 10 tracks. I should point out that this was originally posted by a former contributor here by the name of PsychoCat. I would like to thank those of you who pointed out the mistake, and apologize for the inconvenience. You can find the link to the download which contains tracks 100-109 listed as Part 3 in the download section at the bottom of the post.

Outta the blue I get an email from Digital Meltd0wn founder & chief Zer0_ii. He has returned from his adventures in darkest Africa & is ready to get this beast back in gear. Since Z's sojourn began, KimDotcom has been busted by the Feds & MegaUpload is no more. Then in the panic that followed, MediaFire started shaking in their boots & shut down most of our accounts. Now most of the links in posts of the past are no longer active. We have decided to do our best to re-upload as many as we can. It will be a long, drawn-out process, but ya gotta start somewhere. So I decided to start at the beginning of my tenure here. I have re-upped the seven oldest. There are more to come. If anything touches your fancy or fills your needs, have at it.

Re-upped post links:

Paco Ibanez - Poemas de Federico Garcia
Goverment Issue - Live
Wayne Kramer - Dangerous Madness
The Blues Astronauts - No Sanctuary

Les Maitres - Les Maitres (Cassette Rip) (1983 - 320kbps)

$

Les Maitres is a French post-punk coldwave band that was active in the early 80s. They have only one release, their self-titled cassette from 1983. A handful of their songs also appeared on numerous compilations as recently as 2006.

Coldwave is a French & Belgian post-punk musick. Early French punk groups like Stinky Toys & Métal Urbain were forerunners to the scene. As the scene grew, it took increasing influence from post-punk, disco, & industrial music. I believe coldwave to contain elements of the icy, luminous, electro art rock of artists like Ultravox, Gary Numan, Bill Nelson, Dalek I, Tuxedomoon, Nash the Slash, & others from the late 70s/early 80s.

Comes with insert with the text of “Justine Ou Les Malheurs De La Vertu” by De Sade. Songs “Théatre”, “I Don't Care”, & “Descente Aux Enfers” are demo tracks. “Le Curé", “Souvenir", “L’Entendez-Vous? (2)", & “Le Diable" were recorded live at Art Beton 12 Feb. 83. “L’Entendez-Vous" (a different version than [2]) was recorded live at Pali Kao 21May 83.

Mr. California & the State Police - I'm Gonna Kick You in the Head (2002 - 320kbps)

$

If the bastard son of Eugene Chadbourne & the Sun City Girls was a one-man punk band, he'd be Mr. California & the State Police. Terry Ryan is Mr. California & the State Police. He's now moved to Cleveland,Ohio but warns everyone not to call him Mr. Ohio. His album Audio Hallucinations is available but good luck finding this here slab, an ultra rare release on cult underground record label PEER PRESSURE ZOMBIE RECORDS.

Armed with a cheap keyboard, a drum machine & a guitar, Mr. California creates a blend of industrial punk mixed with blast beats of thrash & odd interludes, electronic anarchy mixed with a warped sense of humor. Mr. California & the State Police sound like the music of the pre-teen younger brother of someone from Men’s Recovery Project. Fifty-two really short songs in less than 30 minutes with vocals providing insults, childish behavior & other insane ramblings set to a fast beat with distorted guitar. There are songs like "Hot Coffee" that remind me of early Black Flag while tunes like "Pig Eye Poison" (She's a witch [x3]/first she stabs the eye/then she takes the broth/cleans up the mess/cleans up the rest/pig eye poison [x4]/yeah) that remind me of the Sun City Girls heritage. The world should prepare itself for this weapon of mass destruction. Mr. California & the State Police might very well be insane -- or at least attention-deficit . Blistering noise worthy of Lightning Bolt. This is demented no-wave music that flies in the face of all conventions.


This record is pressed on beautiful marbled blue vinyl, the cover has pasted-on silkscreened & spraypainted cover art, totally DIY. Comes with lyric sheet, Please Don't Call Me Poser ("Poser") drawing by Mr. California & a cool sticker. These songs are so short & many run one into the next that I have simply left each side as a single cut (side A tracks 1 - 28, side B 29 - 52). Mr. C says he's gonna kick you in the head, so be forewarned. Enjoy!

Saccharine Trust - The Great One is Dead (2001 - 320Kbps)

Since the recent activity geared up here at Digital Meltd0wn, we have been trying out different servers to upload files that hopefully will have a bit of longevity. None of the ones we've tried, Depositfiles, Zippyshare, or FreakShare have been perfect, or even equal to the old days of Mediafire or Rapidshare since the attack perpetrated on Kim Dotcom & MegaUpload. Well, this Saturday, on the one year anniversary of said New Zealand attack, Kim & Company have launched a new Privacy project called Mega. This is the first posting I've done using their new service. Here's hoping...

Saccharine Trust came out of the southern California SST scene that also included bands like Black Flag, SWA, Descendents, October Faction, DC3, Tom Troccoli's Dog & many many more. The band was started by singer Jack Brewer (Jack Brewer Band, Perfect Rat, w/Bazooka, w/Kava) & Joe Baiza (Universal Congress of..., October Faction, Natassya Filippovna, & Unknown Instructors[with Mike Watt & George Hurley of Minutemen fame] in 1980. Original drummer Rob Holzman appeared on their 1981 debut Paganicons but left the band to play in Slovenly & was replaced by drummer Tony Cicero. Many musick luminaries including Kurt Cobain, Buzz Osborne, & Sonic Youth have named Sacchrine Trust as a major influence on their musick. Sonic Youth covered their song "I Am Right" on the SST compilation The Melting Plot.

This CD was only available from Hazelwood Records in Germany & was never released in the US.

January 22, 2013 Update: I posted this back in 2010. This music-video collage is still just as impressive as the first time I had the pleasure of watching it. I'm sure there were plenty of people who missed this post the first time around, and since we're in the process of re-uploading content for the blog, I thought I would bump this post to the top of the blog so that it can be shared with an entirely different group of visitors. Unfortunately AK_Alias seems to have disappeared since then. I last heard from him back in 2010, a few months after this was posted. I have yet to see him appear on the internet under this alias. AK if you happen to see this, or anyone who knows him, please contact me.



With this video I plan to start sharing at least one video a month, if not more, here on Digital Meltd0wn. Some of you may remember that at one time I regularly posted videos here. It wasn't a concept that I purposely abandoned, but one that I was forced to slowly filter out as the amount of free time I had available to me dwindled to a virtually nonexistent level. I have also created a Youtube channel for Digital Meltd0wn, which you can find here: http://youtube.com/digitalmeltd0wn I haven't uploaded many videos yet, but I will host the majority of the videos featured here, as well as a few that I have yet to share. If any of you would be interested in contributing to the Digital Meltd0wn Youtube channel, please leave a comment and let me know. I'm just looking for someone who would be willing to upload a couple of videos a month.

Alain Goraguer - La Planète Sauvage (Bande Sonore Originale)

Man, just squeaked in under the wire to get with this September Sci-Fi thang. Been busy as hell...sleeping, & didn’t realize another month had rolled by.

Here’s the soundtrack from one of my favorite sci-fi movies of all, La Planète Sauvage or as it was known in the US, Fantastic Planet. Released in France in 1973.

I’m not going to go into detail about the movie. If you haven’t seen it, check it out. If you have, watch it again, it’s always great. The film takes place in the future in which human beings, known as "Oms" (from the French word hommes, meaning men), have been brought to the Draags' home planet, where they are kept as pets with special collars. The Draags are an alien race, humanoid in appearance but a hundred times larger than humans, with blue skin, fan-like earlobes & protruding red eyes.

The music is by Alain Goraguer, who created music for other French films, including several other animated ones including The Dead Times (Les Temps Morts)(1964) & The Snails (Les Escargots) (1965), both by René Laloux & Roland Topor, who are also responsible for La Planète Sauvage. The music features synthesizers, flute, Hohner clavinet, guitar (with lots of wah-wah effects), bass, & drums. The music to La Planète Sauvage is a progressive funky score, like Pink Floyd meets Shaft.

Year of Release: 1973

Phil Spector's Greatest Hits

$

Guess I better get back to this alphabetical thing if I’m ever going to make it to Z. Made it to S so far, don’t want to fail now with the end in sight.

I’ve had 11,647 things to do since I posted letter R (unfortunately 5000 of those things were $$$ in fines for criminal trespass I incurred while doing a bit of sign remodeling [billboard shenanigans as my friend Salmagundi calls it] recently).

I had some Soft Cell, The Shits, & Greg Sage slated for the S slot when I came across this gem that was in the Various Artists section.

Phil Spector’s Greatest Hits is a 1977 release by Warner/Spector Records. It is an out-of-print very, very, rare compilation of Phil Spector's songs on a double LP with a sweet gatefold jacket illustrating a great deal that is pertinent to the Spector ‘wall of sound’ (Phillies, back to mono, Veronica ‘Ronnie Spector’ Bennett, a giant Phil balloon,etc). When people talk about “He’s a Rebel” or “Be My Baby”, “Then He Kissed Me” or “Walkin’ in the Rain”, very often they can’t remember whether the Ronettes or the Crystals recorded them, or the name of the group slips their mind entirely. Instead they simply call them “Phil Spector records”.

Spector's first song was 1958s “To Know Him is to Love Him" by the Teddy Bears, a group Phil formed at age 17 with two high school classmates. Spector wrote it, produced it, played guitar on it, & sang back-up vocals behind Carol Connors' breathy lead. The song charted at Number One.

In 1964 Spector scored his greatest triumph, “You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feelin’” with The Righteous Brothers, generally regarded as one of the truly historic records of all times. Although the song runs 3:45, Spector labeled it at 3:05 on the record so that radio stations which normally clung to the conservative 3 minute rule would be more likely to play it. Such is the cunning of PS. It worked, the song received massive air-play & went to Number One.

& we probably are all aware of Phil’s latest record...his criminal record, ba-da-bum!

This sucker starts right off with “Be My Baby”, a classic song of yearning teen-dream with an opening drum riff that is one of the most famous introductions in rock. Dig in, kiddies!
