The Witch Trials (1981)

In reference to my post I did about Adrian Borland I wanted to do this as a seperate post.
In 1980 Borland worked on two projects, Second layer which he did with future Sound bandmate Graham Bailey and then The Witch Trials. The Witch Trials was a one off thing he did with Jello Biafra ,East Bay Ray, Christian Lunch and Morgan Fisher which they managed to recorded in one 4 hour session at Morgan Fishers house in London.

Spoken word ..Improvisation ..Noise ..Chaos ..in other words very cool stuff!


















The Witch Trials (1995 CD reissue)
+released on Alternative Tenticles+

    Thanks! I had been searching for this for quite a while! I had heard Borland had that session with Biafra but could not remember the name for the life of me!

      Tom,
      Your Welcome :)
      When I first heard that Borland and Biafra did a project together my curiosity to hear this became overwhelming. It's amazing the improvised lyrics they came up with.

      If it's at all possible I would really like a copy of 'Pendulum' and the 'Shimmer' 12"..I remember a time when it was a real task to find any of your guy's material..
