Prohaska - Cordoba Achtundneunzig 7"

Here's a 7" that pays tribute to a particular football match (aka soccer). Prohaska was a screamo band from Austria in the '90s. Their 'Cordoba Achtundneunzig' 7" is their only release that I'm aware of, besides appearances on a few compilations. It was released on Paracelsius Underground Industries & Charon Collective in 1998. As mentioned, it deals with a particular football match from the 1978 World Championships, played in Córdoba, Argentina, between West-Germany (the reigning World Champion at that time) and Austria. Austria defeated West-Germany 3-2, which was quite a surprise victory, and what makes this a legendary match in Austria. It was the first victory of Austria over West-Germany in 47 years, and is also referred to as 'the miracle of Córdoba'. Hans Krankl, one of the best Austrian football players ever, scored the 3rd, and decisive, goal in the last minute or so of the match. Another football player from that team, Herbert Prohaska, provided the band with their name, he is also pictured on the sleeve. As said, this 7" deals with that match, both lyrically and by adding a bunch of samples from (Austrian) commentary of that match.

For the football lovers out there, here's a video of Hans Krankl's winning goal, there are better quality videos of this goal on Youtube but this one has the original Austrian commentary:


Because there are samples overlapping the songs, I decided to rip this 7" into 2 files, one for each side, rather than a file per track.

Cameran / Bastard In Love split 7"

And yet another Moo Cow Records request. If anything, this should give you a good idea of how great a record label it was during the 90's. And Jim's still releasing records every now and again. Anyways, released in 1998, this split 7" featured Cameran out of Austria and Bastard In Love out of Brazil. 2 Quite different bands, but nonetheless a sweet split. Cameran formed out of the ashes of Racial Abuse, but went in a different direction. Cameran went for a more technical metallic hardcore approach with highly political lyrics. After this split 7" they did a few EP's and a full-length, none of which I've ever seen unfortunately. They also relocated to the UK and are still around apparently. Good stuff for sure tho. Bastard In Love was one of the bands of the owner of Teenager In A Box Records, who also did time in Personal Choice, a legendary old Brazilian sXe hardcore band. Bastard In Love had a more melodic edge to them tho. As far as I know they did some demo's and also appeared on some compilations but no proper releases of their own. Either way, check it out.
