"Vampire of Tehran" is really good - Distorted beats, chopped up bits, dubby bass. Bluddy excellent. "Sandtrafikar" - pretty good, haven't had time to really get into it yet, but it's got 5 tracks (I think) and two of the tracks have two mixes - one 'ambient' and one with beats. Recorded in Manchester's Abraham Mosque is says on the sleeve! Both of these are fairly recent. I also picked up "Vote Hezbulah" which is from 93. It's similar but the beats aren't distorted. All top stuff. The web page mentions a subscription service where you get all the standard releases and limited run stuff. Is anyone here on that?
