agnostic
front – another voice
this was on
my wantlist for a long time. i really like af’s heavier hardcore stuff after
‘dead yuppies’. ‘another voice’ marks their first release on germany’s nuclear blast records in 2004. at the time nuclear blast did a vinyl release on clear
red. i’m not too much of a fan of that colour and so it was nice to find that
durty mick records released a version (re-issue for north-america, i suppose)
on mint green vinyl which i spotted on ebay but didn’t bid on due to my own
fucking forgetfulness.
fortunately
browsing through per koro i found it in their distro. it was the durty mick
version and the description said it would be the green vinyl. as you can see
with you own eyes it’s not the mint green vinyl. the oxblood version came instead. in my opinion oxblood red looks almost as exciting as clear red. the only
advantage it has in comparison with the clear colour is the fact of being an
opaque colour. at first i thought about e-mailing marcus from per koro asking
him for a green one. but then i condemned this thought because i know that
marcus doesn’t have a green one of which were only 300 pressed and probably
just sold out. because if he had one he would have send it. he’s a decent guy.
the music
however is pretty damn good! probably the angriest stuff they ever wrote. love the guest appearance of karl buechner on ‘still here’ because at the time
earth crisis wasn’t still there :-) (split up in 2001 if memory serves and re-united
in 2007). 700 pressed on oxblood red vinyl. comes with an embossed cover and
printed dust sleeve.
durty mick records. 2011.
