Tales from the bargain bins vol 2…
harlequin four’s - set it off (mp3)
air power - welcome to the disco (mp3)
deadly avenger - lopez ost (mp3)
its time for another round of bargain bin finds, and what better way to start than with my new favourite haunt, the ‘record shack’. this extremely small, dusty and down right shit tip of a place is ran by a lovely old guy. who, it would seem, knows nowt about records, but pretty much everything there is to know, about drinking brews and sporadic opening times…

third up is ‘lopez ost’ by damon baxter aka big beat maestro, the deadly avenger. released back in 1998 on the illicit ep, it features one of my favourite record related pictures. the track in question is a beautiful, string laden downbeat trip, that could quite easily induce a bout of melancholy…

schoolsy added these pithy words on Jun 11 07 at 7:07 pm…yeah, your damn right. i think its a bit longer as well. if memory serves me right, there is also another floaty, downbeaty type track on there as well - on the flip. however my fave deadly avenger track is day one, which also appeared on his album…a future post i think…
