\n“In 1996, filmaker Daragh McCarthy directed a documentary inspired by
\nthe noises emanating from Dublin’s independent rock scene. At the
\ntime, we didn’t know if this urgent groundswell in activity was
\ndestined to be just an ephemeral phenomenon or whether it was the
\nfoundation for a future infrastructure. All we knew was that it was
\nsome of the best and most pro-active music making in a country other
\nwise smothered by corporate bandwagoneering and post-U2 tail-chasing.
\nThe Stars Are Underground was, quite simply a film crying out to be
\nmade. In retrospect, it has become a prescient foretaste of the depth
\nof fine music being made in Ireland, four years later. Stars\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 is a
\nfilm about dreamers, visionaries, wannabe Warhols and shoe-string
\nsvengalis. A film about punk-rock, country outlaws, decadent
\ndiscordance and slack jaw stoners. It’s about people relearning the
\nDIY process and starting to get it right. Releasing their own records,
\nmaking their own videos, designing their own sleeves, organising their
\nown events and basically doing the complete opposite to those who so
\nwillingly bowed down to the industry before them. But this documentary
\ndoesn’t wallow in underground romance. It details with the day-to-day
\nhands-on banalities of being in a band, the lure of the corporate
\ndollar and the struggle to be heard. The music ranges from brash and
\nformative excorcisms of anger, to sophisticated, aspirational
\ncreations, to probing, vehement experimentation. Jubliee Allstars’
\ninitial releases on their own Hi-Tone label and Dead Elvis, sound as
\nfantastic as the first time they shambled revolutions round your
\nrecord player. As does Wormhole’s low-slung primitive hypnosis and
\nLuggage’s muffled and debonair series of Eps on Blunt Records. And
\nFemale Hercules and Bambi and the Great Western Squares and Pet Lamb
\nand The Idiots and Mexican Pets. Some of them have gone, some still
\nhere, in one form or another. Label owners and media-mouths such as
\nColm O’Callaghan, Dan Oggly and Eamonn Crudden have their say too,
\ndiscussing the naivete that fuels these records, and questioning the
\nmagnitude of the independent structure. International figures such as
\nTherapy’s Andy Cairns and Fugazi’s Ian MacKaye express words of wisdom
\nand, well, words of simple enthusiasm. The latter warns us not to
\nexpect to make any money in this industry. But what’s probably most
\nsatisfying about The Stars Are Underground is how the artists
\nthemselves define this whole time with a sense of community. It’s
\nalmost politically incorrect to use the word “scene” these days, but
\nwhatever it was , this time and place, it was where connections were
\nmade that ring true to this day. The year 2000 has already seen
\nseveral great Irish records, and all going according to plan, 2001
\nwill be better again. The roots lie here in this film, and for those
\naware or interested in these facts, this is essential viewing. A
\nlow-budget film about a low-budget scene. It won’t be forgotten
\nquickly.” Leagues October 2000<\/p>\n
\nElectronic Sensoria Band arose in 2002 from improvising sessions
\nbetween Fergus Cullen and members of The Wormholes and Memory Cells at
\nDublin’s legendary Lazy Bird club. Their backing of the legendary
\nex-Can vocalist Damo Suzuki at his debut Dublin show was recorded and
\nbecame the first release on their Last of our Kind label. Since then
\nthey have scaled down to a three piece line-up consisting of Fergus on
\nguitar and clarinet, with brothers David and Anthony Carroll on drums
\nand bass.
\n‘Lost In The Black Hole Of Calcutta’: Part 1<\/p>\n

\nreleased by Eamonn Crudden.

\n… two very beautiful synth driven ambient pieces with hints of
\neverything from jean michelle jarre, tangerine dream and klaus
\nschultze. There is also an element of some early krautrock
\nexperimentalism akin to the likes of cluster or even harmonium. The
