Title:  Triptych of Poisoners Artist:  Milk Form Cheltenham Label:  Alga Marghen Format:  CD Price:  € 16.50   Mp3 samples: none

Title Description:
Milk fron Cheltenham is the first in a series of alga marghen editions documenting the activities of the It's War Boys underground label, founded by Amos (of The Homosexuals fame) in the late 1970s. The original LP was issued in an edition limited to 300 copies (most are on blue vinyl but there are some on pink vinyl and a few on black). The material was recorded from 1979 to 1981 but wasn't released until 1983 due to problems with the silkscreened sleeve.
The band only put out this record, a real hidden gem. Lepke said that he wanted it to sound like a Beach Boys LP by using lots of different studios but it was mostly done on a cassette machine with a primitive 'surround' function. LEPKE is the man who does the impossible everytime he picks up a tin, carton, bottle or instrument. The first person with enough originality to adopt 'anything' to his own idiosyncratic style. Retired to an obscure basement, still without peers in the world. LOUNGE makes rhythms that by this time need no words of praise with a wallop, that when left, makes the usual praise words disintegrate. A mix of inestimable ability with feelings as wild as it is rare. SALAMANDER has that certain something that most people can never have even if they practice for an eternity. Most important in his influence most endearing in his emotional impact and most convincing in his new found authority.
