Smersh – A Murder Of Crows [Cass] (1984, Atlas King)

Beat studio guru Mike Mangino (Pink Noise, The Poptards) and Chris Shepard (The Poptards) formed Smersh as an experimental big-beat techno/industrial project and began releasing cassettes in 1981. Smersh recorded improvised cuts every Monday night, released countless cassettes on their own label, Atlas King, and were featured on more compilations than you can track down. They never played live, never played the same track more than once. 'A Murder of Crows' was released on their Atlas King label in 1984. It was released after 'Hothouse Bodies in a Cool Culture', and features the tracks "Judy Mach 7" and "Hunter Killer", which were featured on a split 7" single with Penny Cillin in 1985. "Hunter Killer" is also noted for its appearance in the video game "Fucker Gamer Scum Get Stabbed" and also on the Smersh compilation LP 'The Beat From 20,000 Fathoms'. An album something between Chrome and Suicide, very hard to find only released on cassette. [SOURCE: RATE YOUR MUSIC]
