Welcome back to Sakura Underground. This was recorded in the Valley Free Radio studios on Feb 3rd 2024.
Playlist below!
We started with a block from DJ Silent who picked 3 Skinny Puppy songs from their 1996 album “The Process” DJ Silent believes this is the last truly good SP album, because it had all 3 of the members recording on it. Sadly Dwayne Goettel passed in 1995 towards the end of recording this album. There were a lot of slack and problems with the record company and the band in the making of this album also.

Moving on to new music from Cyberaktif, and a fun request from our listener for new music by Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth
A Single Trace
BYE BYE
DJ Silent continues on with a long track by Meat Beat Manifesto, released in 1990 from the 99% album. A pinging non stop dance track. Pinging because of the pinging noise all throughout. Can you count the pings?
DogStar Man/Helter Skelter
Continuing with Meat Beat Manifesto, and DJ Sakura666 added some tracks to go with the block. Meg Lee Chin is an inspirational noisey girl rock and alternative music writer, producer, also very underrated from the 1990s. Also Portishead, a nice piece from the 90s and classic Massive Attack track, both seem to have appeared in movies in time.
She’s Unreal
Swallowing You
Glory Box
