5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Band, December 29, 2003

I'm no hardcore punk, and my musical tastes are very very broad. Funeral Oration is my favorite band. There sound is unmistakably original and powerful. Pick up this CD you won't regret it. It's the only recording of any band that I can listen to anytime. I'm still listening to it on a weekly basis, three years after I bought it.

Even if you found this CD on accident, pick it up. you won't regret it.

this cd is great, a good deal by amazon considering i bought the same (double) cd for 20 dollars. it has songs from when they recorded them selves in a garrage so a few of the songs arent the greatest recording but the other 44 songs are great. they kick live.

signing off, bigwig, (email me if you know of other great europeon punk/hardcore bands)

Question is, have you heard the pink and the blue demo tapes? Now there's some punk rock. That stuff, their first releases, is faster, more intense than anything they ever did again. And there are songs from those two releases on this 2xCD set! They've discovered this unique sound, I'm not sure how to describe it. Fortunately, this website lets you sample the songs. They've got their own punk sound without bein' too hard. It's been a delight to watch them change over the years. Each release gets a touch slower, not that they're ever slow, just that they started fast.

They did a coupla songs that shoulda been radio hits, 'Punk Rock Nation' and another one. The boys are from Holland and, as far as I know, only toured the U.S. once, in 1997. Fortunately, I got to see them, twice, in the same night, which, they told us, was like the 25th show they did in 25 days. Real sweethearts, no question. They've been punking for decades now. I'm not sure if they're still around. If I'm not mistaken they finally broke up after about 2 amazing demo tapes, 3 7"s and 8 albums (just an estimate). My guess is they toured a bunch in the general Europe area. I wonder if they ever were able to pay their bills selling some records and CDs and touring? Course, that's the same question one can ask of any band that hasn't had a radio hit and is, essentially, a punk band. Most punx have day jobs.

I'll bet they still have some kinda day jobs (and/or very cooperative, supportive wives/girlfriends/partners). I really recommend you give their songs a listen cuz you've never heard a band that sounds like them. Interestingly, they've maintained their unique sound, that is, even as it morphs over the, what? 20 years? Any of their songs can immediately be recognized as FUNERAL ORATION.

Really, if yer into HC all yer really gonna wanna hear is the first 2 demos and some of those songs are on this, although the Communion 12" is great punk rock too, just not quite as intense as the 2 demos. I've been meticiously collecting their various releases for about 20 years and am glad this release is now available. They did appear on a bunch of compilations, always a good way for punx to get their music heard around the world. The more comps, the better. They've managed to keep me intereted and enjoying their music even though each album is progressively more tame. I suppose I gotta admit that my favorite material is the earliest and as it slowly becomes less harsh, not that they ever were actually, I find the albums to be a bit less to my liking compared to the early material but still enjoyable. That demo stuff is brilliant. And, yes, live they are delightful, tight, strong, good presence and fun to hear. I can't figure out how come they've apparently never gotten more awareness out there. What that teaches me is that just cuz you create something of quality doesn't mean it'll automatically get known. Oh well, good news is, this exists. Heck, the demos tapes exist to, released by the band I'm sure, as the sleeves are non-commercially printed up (the common punk way: xerox!). Ya did Holland proud boys. [e-mail]
