BTF



I frequently post tapes by bands about whom I have little or no information, but this one takes the cake.  The tape is unmarked, there is nothing on the cover besides the scan you see above, and I can't really even be sure that BTF is indeed the name of the band.  And the music is even more mysterious; tripped out space dub with dark anarcho punk vocals, it's like PINK FLOYD, ZOUNDS and HAWKWIND teamed up to make a record and decided to take acid and listen to reggae instead.  Favorites include tracks 04, which is more on the punk end of the spectrum, 07, which is just truly fucking bizarre.  Of course, I would relish any information anyone might have about this tape...the more you listen, the better it gets.  Trust me.

let's see, I compared it to PINK FLOYD, said it was bizarre, and referred to the music as "space dub." i thought i made a reasonable attempt to prepare you, the listener, for something that you might not actually enjoy. and still you downloaded, and all you can come up with is "this is shit?" next time i'll try to be more specific.

that said, I totally like it, and thanks Henk for the myspace link, that certainly seems like the dude. well done, mate!

Some info...
B.T.F. is the name of the band... Blitzed To Fuck if my memory is right! They came from Amesbury in Wiltshire and followed this so-so tape with a much better one "Punk Rot". If you want I'll rip it and send it you in the new year? Steve from the band started Earthzone records and released the first R.D.F. album before going on to play in reggae bands Freedom AKA and U.K. Players... Just spotted Henk's link above and yes that is the guy behind it all!
