Β-23. Fragmenta 1 & 2 (7" EP's, vinyl rip). 1990.

This is a part of history!

 "Stis Skies tou B-23" was one of the best greek fanzines back in the 80's and '90's. Some issues were released with vinyl records  (compilations with some of the best greek undergound bands of that time) under the name "Fragmenta". 

The greek reading friends can find some informations about this legendary zine in fanzines.gr

Here are the first two records, both of them in 7" vinyl disc with 4 bands each.

Fragmenta I

1. Anti - Nekri Pleiopsifia

2. Panx Romana - Synagermos

3. Viridian Green - Nihta

4. R.R. Hearse -  Endless Sleep

Anti was a now legendary synth - punk group while Panx Romana is a straight punk rock band still active with many followers all these years. This song here is one of their best.

Viridian Green is a project by Stefanos Glaufx and they had an experimental dark electro sound. R.R. Hearse was one of the protagonists of the underground scene of the '80's, doing experimental noise stuff, and this is his only vinyl release.

                                 

                                                      Fragmenta II

                                                   1. Sarka - Trella

                                            2. Petunia Pig - A dream so grey

                                                   3.Erevos - Erevos

                                            4. Lost Bodies - Stretch Reflex

   Sarka is a punk (kind of!) band and you can visit their website here. Petunia Pig was an almost all girl pop punk band from Patra (check also this post).
   Erevos was a dark wave band active during the '90's and Lost Bodies is a now legendary duo with a unique punk/experimental sound. This is their first appearance in vinyl but since then they've done a lot of records and gigs becoming one of the most beloved greek bands.

Gew Gaw Stereophonic Dodman - A Gew Gaw Compilation (issue #2)

Gew Gaw is a high quality greek psychedelic fanzine. Some issues came out with a cd compilation icluding great bands and great songs, most of them unreleased! Anyway you can see details about the fanzine here. This is the second compilation that came out along with issue #8.
There is a lot of great stuff here! This isn't '60's pop psychedelia. This is heavy tripping stuff full of echoes of garage, darkwave, psychedelia, space rock and Kraut...
I think this is the first time that this compilation is uploaded for everyone to enjoy!

The cover is designed by Iliana Noea. Her amazing work is almost everywhere in greek independent scene, in records (Purple Overdose's third and fourth record), fanzines, posters, everywhere! I wish somebody who know her, write some things about this amazing artist. You can find nothing about her in greek independent music blogs and i think it's a shame!
