Snapped Ankles Announce New EP 'Violations' For Record Store Day

East London art wave/post punk/krautrock band Snapped Ankles have announced the release of a new EP titled 'Violations', exclusively for Record Store Day.

The 4-track record features their brand new violations of songs by Can "Bel Air", the previously unveiled take of The Fugs "CIA Man" ("NSA Man"), Joey Beltram "Energy Flash" and The Comateens "Ghosts".

From the forest floor: These four tracks were dug up from the sturdy roots of the Ankles undergrowth - but in the process the original recordings were damaged. We reconstructed them using the latest in biomechanical stem re-assemblage processes, which invariably has lead to some misinterpretations and considerable violations of the original recordings. As we tried to decipher the magical genetic code of the originals, events around them informed the nature of these violations; forest fires tore through the wealthy neighbourhood of Bel Air, friends vanished into the dating app dimension never to be seen in solid earthly form again, and as our log synths pounded along to a broken copy of Joey Beltram's 'Energy Flash', we created a possession so potent that the we were left pondering the difference between the mental states of 'trance' and 'ecstasy'.

Violations Tracklisting:

01. CIA Man (NSA Man Violation)
02. Ghosts (Ghosts on Tinder Violation)
03. Energy Flash (Dancing in a State of Possession Violation)
04. Bel Air (Burning Dressing Gowns Violation)

Violations will be released on April 21st for Record Store Day 2018, strictly limited to 750 copies on white vinyl.

New Entry: Ministry Air "The Game Is Over" Previously Unreleased Song From 1983

In April 18 (aka Record Store Day), Cleopatra Records will release Ministry Trax! Box, an expansive new Ministry collection.

The 7 disc/1 LP Ministry Trax! Box collects 12 inch singles, remixes, rarities, and previously unreleased material from Wax Trax!-era Ministry and Al Jourgensen-related side projects (Revolting Cocks, Pailhead, 1000 Homo DJs).

In late 1983, after completing the With Sympathy  tour, Ministry hunkered down at Pierce Arrow Recorders in Evanston, IL, to write and demo new music. Four songs were tracked in what would be just about the last gasp of the band’s first incarnation. The band’s singer/guitarist/keyboardist Alain Jourgensen, keyboardist Robert Roberts, and drummer Stephen George were joined by touring bassist Brad Hallen to work on the songs "The Game Is Over," "Let’s Be Happy," "Same Old Scene," and "Wait," none of which were ever officially released.

The collection features material previously released on the Twelve Inch Singles and Side Trax compilations, as well as the out-of-print Black Box — Wax Trax! Records: The First 13 Years box set. But there are previously unreleased demos, as well as long-sought material such as “I’ll Do Anything For You,” the With Sympathy-era track that Al Jourgensen recently shared online.

The box set also includes three expanded Revolting Cocks albums on CD, plus a bonus 12-inch, six-song vinyl live LP recorded by Ministry in Chicago in 1982. 

Listen to the brilliant "The Game Is Over (demo 1983)" below and pre-order  your box here.
