Here, I will be posting 2-3 unusual, rare, and/or obscure MP3's per month for your downloading pleasure.
I will be selecting tracks which I feel that fans of Voivod can appreciate,
and hopefully that you have never heard before.This first is a Strange and Cosmic little adventure,
narrated by the smallest of all things... Klaatu - Little Neutrino
(file has since been removed) Put this one through some quality headphones for sure. Hope you all enjoy(ed) it.

Ok, I am adding another blast of intensity and mayhem:One of the most consistently superior bands of the last two decades has been NoMeansNo;
with their brutal hybrid of hardcore and technical/ jazz/ progressive insanity. Here is an instrumental which, with a bit of imagination,
could easily be mistaken for a long-lost Blacky/ Devo side project: NoMeansNo - Obsessed Also, I need to know if anyone is even using this thread.
Please, if you D/L any of these songs, leave a message.
Otherwise, this thing will just get buried, and I will have to
assume it is a wasted effort. Thanks.

A BIG Thank you, Tangento!NoMeansNo is my second love beside Voivod. I have all albums, but this instrumental is new for me. So you can imagine, how you made my day.  If you like, Neutrino, here is some NoMeansNo info: The two brothers Rob (bass, guitar, vocals)and John Wright (drumms) started playing music 1979. Their first album, called MAMA, sounds proggy, jazzy and punky. It's cool music, but they haven't found their unique style on this album. So I won't recommend it for the beginning. SEX MAD/YOU KILL ME is a hard one. Very noisy and punky. Obssesed (with singing) is from that album. Some great songs are on it: Body Bag, Long Days (for those who love bass), Metronome. SMALL PARTS/THE DAY EVERYTHING BECAME NOTHING is one of NoMeansNo's best. Long songs, strange composed, never boring and with so dark lyrics, that you wanna cry. Hits like Brother Rat/What Slayde Says , Real Love, Victory are a must for every lover of hard, strange and sad/ironic music. Absolut live killers too. WRONG is the album NoMeansNo selled the most. Very powerfull and catchy, every song a killer. A lot of all time favorites. Fantastic bass work , drumming, lyrics. If you're interested in the older works from NoMeansNo (WRONG is from 1989) buy this album. It's the perfect mixture of their musically abilities. That's it for now. Later more, I have to leave the internet...

...and back again."0+2=1" is as good as a NoMeansNo album should be. It's to recommend to all Voivod fans, who loves Blacky's playing on NothingFace and the production of NothingFace (light guitar). With "Now" 0+2=1 got an outstanding live hit. WHY DO THEY CALL ME MR. HAPPY? This concept album contains one of the most intense NoMeansNo experiences. Gloomy and strong. One of my personal favs. THE WORLDHOOD OF THE WORLD (AS SUCH) is more punk than other NoMeansNo album. Maybe an easy entry for new listeners. After the first hearing I was so disappointed, because of the happy punk moments, that I nearly had thrown the CD out of the window. But then it grows. DANCE OF THE HEADLESS BOURGEOISIE is the best album of the last years (1998). It got all the different styles NoMeansNo are known for. Perfect playing, lyrics, production. In my opinion THE album to start with NoMeansNo. ONE, the last album, is very very sinister. Not easy to listen. LIVE + CUDDLY (1991) is a perfect live album, a mix of the best older songs. The sound is very good, the songs are played hard. If you like live music on CD, good choice. MR. WRIGHT & MR. WRONG is collection of never released songs and alternative versions (1979 till 1994). Just for Die Hardies. THE SKY IS FALLING, AND I WANT MY MOMMY, NoMeansNo playing together with Jello Biafra. That's it plus some EPs.
