Ironflame has released a live single of à;GRUMH… containing the live versions of DISCIPLINE (TG) and UNCLEAN (PTV), both recorded during the 1990 US leg of the WWWTour 89/90. This vinyl single is a limited edition of 333 copies, 111 in black vinyle, 111 in camouflage white vinyl and 111 in clear blue vinyl. All singles contain collector numbered and signed inserts, plus are protected by several plastic and cardboard covers. There is a surprise “DAFIAN” extra track on side B, but you must lift the needle manually to put it in the second track. Don’t tell anyone. It’s a secret. The covers are a perfect imitation of the original covers of the “Unclean” 12″ by Psychic TV and of the “Discipline” single by Throbbing Gristle (famous cancellers of events). Click HERE for details and orders. Note: since many people already asked us, we do NOT sell this single. You must order it at Ironflame and they take Paypal or bank payments.

S3 eVETS and J3 sEUQCAJ met for another nEGAPADRES.3.3. studio session.They started to work with rhythmic sequences that they had made a month earlier. Once put together and arranged, it became obvious that this song was not a nEGAPADRES.3.3. song, but indeed the first à;GRUMH… song made since 1990. Vocals from S3 were added and a first mix was made, under the title “Jennifer Says”, v.0.1. No official release plans for à;GRUMH… material are decided so far.
S3 and J3 sEUQCAJ met several times either to go to restaurants (S3’s favourite choice of activity) or to work in the studio to make new songs (J3’s favourite choice of activity). They recorded and produced several tracks, for example “Obstinacle”, “Absinthe à la Guinguette de l’Espadon” and “Litz Day Kursk”, and many other mixes.
S3 started to work on a home page for à;GRUMH…, nEGAPADRES.3.3. and the Circle Records and TTKK products. Archives were digged, and the first draft of the home page was put online at the end of the year. Many reactions from fans and old and new friends started to flood by email. J3 got online right at that time, saving S3 lots of work in replying that mail. 🙂
S3 eVETS wrote a letter to J3 sEUQCAJ for the third time in 10 years. For the first time, J3 answered. S3 called J3 on the phone and they talked for three hours “like it was yesterday”. A week later, a great dinner at J3’s house reunited longtime friends and former à;GRUMH… members P4 lACSAP and P3 lACSAP along with J3, S3 and C6 nAITSIRHC, S3’s husband. We got to know Alwine sEUQCAJ, Shane sEUQCAJ and Gwenn sEUQCAJ, J3’s kids. Soupin sEUQCAJ, wife of J3, made a very good chili 🙂
