Sky Pig - It Thrives In Darkness - VINYL LP

Limited 180 gram vinyl LP pressing. FILTH PIG is the sixth studio album by industrial metal band Ministry. Originally released in 1996, the title was allegedly derived from a statement made in the British Houses of Parliament, where bandleader Jourgensen was described as a filthy pig by MP Teddy Taylor. For FILTH PIG, Ministry stripped all synthesizers and most samples from their style and made the music almost entirely with ultra-noisy guitars, heavy bass, and real drums. The songs were played mostly at slower tempos than the very fast ones that were used for the compositions on their previous three LPs, giving it an almost Doom Metal feel. FILTH PIG was supported with the singles/videos 'Reload', 'The Fall', 'Lay Lady Lay' (a cover of Bob Dylan's old country-tinged hit) and 'Brick Windows'.

When taking a break from working amongst some of the hottest surf rock groups of their time (including 'Dick Dale' and 'The Beach Boys'), surf musicians and super producers Gary Usher and Dick Burns ('The Customs') wrote for a number of fictional 'Hot Rod' groups. Mixing studio session musicians and established acts, this time notably Dick Delvey of 'The Challengers' (appearing here as 'The Grand Prix' and 'The Quads'), this ode to fast cars sees these champions at peak performance with more style than stock on tracks including 'Hot Rod City', 'Candy Apple Buggy' and 'Competition Coupe'.

When Raul Barboza first settled in France in 1987, he quickly came to the realization that he could not classify himself in any musical genre. The Buenos Aires born accordionist's music represented a unique global mix of Indian, European and African influences, incorporating everything from tangos to mazurkas and waltzes. The recipient of a Konex Prize as one of the five Best Figures in the History of Argentinean Popular Music, Barboza continues to explore new paths on his latest recording, on which he partners with Argentine classical guitarist Juanjo Dominguez.
