New Material

Thinking of posting some of the new material, as I am getting bored of the old stuff. Its pretty dark, in fact thinking of releasing some of it maybe not as Slab at all and on a different label altogether. Anyway time to go, regards to all. Will get on it.

Vij

Much loved by the Jigoku guys, a fantastic Russian movie from 1967

Very limited edition T shirt

Ok....lets see if anyone is reading this....

I have available some very limited edition Slab t shirts, designed by Stephen O'Malley no less and made personally by a friend of his.

The only people in the known universe with one of these are myself, Paul Jarvis, Stephen O'Malley and James Plotkin.

The t shirts are black with a logo based on the Slab logo used on our first single Mars On Ice.

If you want one email me.... my address is on the Slab website.

First come first served.

PLEASE NOTE THESE ARE FREE, ITS NOT AN AUCTION...... I stun myself with my own generosity heh heh.... or rather, the generosity of SOMA

10th April UPDATE>>>> SORRY ALL GONE, if you want one I may get some more done, will have to see.

JIGOKU

Sometime back in the mists of time a while after SLAB

I became involved in a little project with my friend Jon

and Gareth Goddard from Cherrystones

it usually involved copious amounts of substance abuse

and lots of audiovisual noise.

Jigoku was the probably the first of the underground audiovisual mashups in London

starting in the very early 90s....

usually playing the most drugged out and darkest of clubs.

The films were seriously nasty and pyschedelic....

Jon and Gareth are releasing a DVD

check it out

SLAB Leviathan

Leviathan

An ode to the Sea.... touched up since first recorded in 1989..... the final version is huge.... a return to our heavier side.....

SLAB Wipe The Floor

For those who like our more esoteric side.... afterall it gets a little wearing being brutal all the time... and lets face it ...it sorta lacks imagination if all you wanna do is kick people in the throat all day long..... sometimes you just gotta be a little more subtle.... y'know pins in the eyes...... sometimes you need a little variety...

so here she is... a little oddball recorded in 1989

an excerpt from Wipe the Floor.... a story of love....

where Tom Waits meets Prince.... in Marrakesh..... strung out on smack.....

"You been playing swimming pools, hanging out with shallow fools".....

its basic, as were we at the time and i make little or no apology for the way it sounds... cos it sounds like we did at the time.... strung out..... but hey ho....
