I have had an Ocean Bomb brand drink before, which was also good, and this was also good too. Brown Sugar flavour it says, and thats accurate. A nice brown sugar sweet milk with that strange unnatural bubble tea element. The tapioca/”Starch Balls” according to the ingredients, were a nice but different than usual texture. Nice.
It’s a great cover image, and a fantastic album. Their Live At Montreux Jazz Festival (1976) set is also mind blowing and better IMO. Both are below.
I seriously suggest sitting through them, some of the avant-garde and almost Parliament-like places these sets go are well worth it.

The Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou song is just amazing, will probably be my favorite song for quite a few months.

Ogroff (Mad Mutilator) (1982)
Critters is a great horror/monster movie. There’s the whole Sc-Fi space bounty hunter element I always forget about, but its basically a slasher film with multiple little monsters instead of one killer. Its essentially set in one house (except for the roving bounty hunter subplot), and involves a family defending themselves from the creatures. Its an enjoyable, humorous and rather strange film.
Campfire Tales is a 3 part horror anthology of common tropes/urban legends with time travel (I guess you would call it that?) elements. Its not bad, the stories, structure and ideas are interesting, but overall its a bit slow/dry. A product of its time, the Scream era.
Blood Beat is primo weird garbage. According to Wikipedia “The plot focuses on a young couple attending a family gathering for Christmas in a rural home when a spirit wearing samurai armor begins killing members of the family—two of whom have psychic abilities—and their neighbors.”, Around what might be a simple if boring horror film with psychic elements is a bizarre mix of disjointed scenes, weird dialogue and strange special effects. And that’s what makes it interesting, if you can put up with it for 86 minutes.
Ogroff is the movie version of a low quality death metal demo cassette. There’s probably a better quality version out there, but I don’t want to see it. I have no idea what is going on in this movie except random slayings. Its poorly filmed, its often too dark or muddy to make out what is happening, and just generally confusing. I don’t think there is any actual narrative here. The off kilter synth sound track is great. There is almost zero dialogue. Its strangely charming, I loved it.
Looks like someone released some/all of the soundtrack: https://specific.bandcamp.com/album/ogroff-aka-mad-mutilator
