Suspiria - any fans on here?

Maisey · 17 Sep 2008, 02:30

I'm listening to a lot of Suspiria at the moment. I was wondering if any other Heartlanders like 'em. Any old shirts or records knocking around for sale maybe? Stories to share? Opinions to state?

I shorted their gig out in '95 at The Cockpit when condensation from me pint decided to mix with a spotlamp on the Merchandise Desk

Is that what they call 'vomiting all over the Bargains table' nowadays?

IZ.

I used to listen to Suspiria quite a lot in the past, when I was a goth.

They have definitly made some nice choons, Allegedly, Dancefloor Tragedy, Night Time & (Now, We See) The Swine being some of my favourites.

watched a movie called "suspiria" and it was an horror....if the name goes to show similarities....well the dialogues where pish and the music unlistenable

Wouldn't call myself a "fan", but I'd be lying if I didn't say that they had 1 or 2 songs that I thought were OK.

Nottingham I think, they were Nightbreeds flagship act so to speak. I don't know if they had ties with Rosetta or not...I mean, they were about the same time, and Mark Tansley definatly had the same coat and shoes as Porl King...

I know for a fact we have a few lurking Nozzy fans, I'm lookin' at you Jez

In fact, I saw them quite recently and they were bloody good

I picked up a copy of their album "Drama" on cassette and its an excellent record (you know what I mean) - I'm trying to find a copy of the Tragedy EP on 12" but its not easy to come by.

psichonaut · 18 Sep 2008, 21:41

i heard Suspiria were members on a band called Intra venus, someone knows something about?

Looks like it's only available on CD EP and no cheap either

i think i was confusing them with the ancestry

http://www.discogs.com/label/Futurity+Records

in which case, i DO remember a lot of people suspiria tees for a while (presumably after a local gig?) but i dont think i saw them myself...

Apperently Susperia Shirts were very comman at one point. The discog on the myspace says affordable shirts with lots of different designs was a tatic they used to extend their fan base.

The Tragedy EP is available on 12", with a different cover. I've seen it a few times. I have a feeling one will come my way in the end

Mark Tansly, who wrote most of the actual music in Susperia moved on to do a project called Intra Venus, which I haven't heard. Although the demos for his new solo album seem promising!

A reworked version of Allegedly Dancefloor Tragedy is available fro listening to on the interweb - its got vamped up music by Mark himself and vocals from Subterfuge's Clifford Ennis (who is a very nice bloke indeed). It's certainly worth a listen.

Who? Me? No No No No No.......

Well, a little bit.
OK. Yes.

You bastard Maisey! You said you would never tell!

Well i love Suspiria, i got to know them around the first time i visit London so they always remind of those days. I actually have all their records (aka : tragedy ep, great & secret show,drama,dancfloor 12", greek split 12" with midnight config. incl. that negative sleeve edition of "great and secret show"). "far heavens" , "olympian and ivory" & "gods take dust" are goth at its best.
Even had a shirt of them..
I remember i bought "drama" from that crazy black guy at the late kensington market the first day i walked around London.
Top memories!!

Silence is platinum · 20 Sep 2008, 15:17

btw the "tragedy ep" was their first release and was only available on cd. The 12" of dancefloor tragedy just has remixes plus a cover of yazoo s "goodbye 70s" and i think this was their last release as only two compilations, one through nightbreed and one through cleopatra were released afterwards.

Intra-venus was more electro-orientated and their first release was quite interesting

very close to "techno-trance" played at the rave parties in late 90's, i'd add
