Nasum – Smile When You’re Dead/Grindwork rehearsals 1994
„Rehearsal sessions for the Smile When You’re Dead and Grindwork recording session.“ – damit knüpft Anders Jakobson direkt an die simultan in den Vault aufgenommene Earliest Recorded Rehearsals 1992-Zusammenstellung an.
„Nasum was officially formed in 1992 but things got going in 1993 when Mieszko joined Rickard and I and we recorded the „Blind World“ songs in July and then quickly wrote nine songs in 3,5 minutes for „Really Fast vol 9″ that were recorded in November.“ steht im Vault zu lesen und wie die Band für eine Split mit Psycho sowie das Grindworks-Viertel 16 Songs brauchten – die letztendlich 1994 aufgenommen wurden. Den Weg dorthin beleuchtet nun diese Rare Nasum-Zusammenstellung.
Wie Anders ganz richtig anmerkt ist die Smile When You’re Dead/Grindwork rehearsals 1994-Compilation soundtechnisch extrem räudig und roh, laut scheppernd und keineswegs angenehm zu hören, macht aber ob der zelebrierten Spielfreude einmal mehr Bock.
Essentielle Erkenntnisse bleiben dabei aus, die immer wieder zwischen den Stücken belassenen Gesprächsfetzen steigert die eingefangene Proberaumstimmung aber adäquat und macht diese Phase der Bandgeschichte für Chronisten interessanter, bildhafter und greifbarer.
„When I went through all my tapes in the fall of 2021 I found no less than three rehearsal sessions for the recording, all of them including all of the songs and all of them pretty similar. I have selected 20 songs for this digital album. It’s the entire first session with 17 songs with one repeated song, and then three songs from the second session, all of which has vocals by Mieszko. The third session didn’t include anything out of the ordinary and had worst sound of them all. (…) I have no particular notes to the songs apart from the fact that Mieszko sings on some of them. This was one or two recording sessions before he started doing back-up vocals in Nasum so I find it funny that he tries out some patterns here. It’s nice to hear his voice once again so I kept some of the chatter between the songs.„
