Lost video found?

I recall that we did a video when Lost was released by Subliminal Sounds (and that it cost us loads of money, or rather: at the time it felt like it)... Whatever happened to that? Someone must have the master tape and I guess that it should be pretty easy to get it posted on the forthcoming website.

New website coming

I think this blog is a perfect place for us to manage this project (thanks to Pojlof for starting it all). However, I think we should try to put up a website once we've put the pieces together. I have the skills (hey, it's my work) and the server space. Perhaps we could post our recorded music and ask people to donate any small sum through PayPal; it might pay for the domain. Any suggestion for a suitable domain name is welcome (as freak.com and any other natural selection is registered already).

Original skull logo

The other day, I found the original skull logo for the flyer posted earlier. I'll scan it and add it later (seem to have forgotten where I put it).

Freak shop:

Here we will place freak stuff for sale:

When going through old tapes a lot of old and fun material is being found. "Hollow the Harmony" in an uneven mix from January -94. And another cool and hard version of "Fire". Completley reworked and different from earlier versions. We would be able to fill a whole Album with versions of "Fire" from Fire (the First) to Fire (the Last). Maybe something for the future.
We can also release a CD of the 13 February -91 Sessions where we play 8 songs in a row with rather good quality. With songs like "Slavemaker, Deathtrip and another grim version of Shake me.
