PCP - Rare And Unreleased Projcts

A look at rare, obscure, exotic projects of the PCP crew.

Jack Lucifer Full Length Album

The second Kotzaak Compilation, From The Darkest Depths, features 3 tracks by Jack Lucifer (and 1 hidden track) that were supposed to be from a full length Jack Lucifer album release, which was announced to be "upcoming".

They are in the later style picked up by Jack Lucifer, not the early Kotzaak style, but his blend of Death Metal and electronic equipment. The name of the album was supposed to be "contaminated black planet".

In a later interview he said that this album was finished, but never released. He doesn't want to release it so far, until he has re-recorded all the tracks again.

See Ya In 2017

See Ya in 2017 was a different version of what was later the Frankfurt Trax 3 Album. It exists only as a white label test pressing. It has almost the same tracklisting as the frankfurt trax 3 album - but it has three extra tracks, which are not released elswhere. One is a Techno track, one in white breaks style, and one in 303 nation style (probably done by them?).

Unreleased 1993 Mover Demotape

A tape Marc Acardipane made in 1993. Not much about this is known. The tracks are in the The Mover style, but could also be tracks supposed to be put our under other monikers of Acardipane (Nasty Django, Ace The Space?).

The Praxis Tape

A rumor from the internet is that the "Track 2" put out on the Praxis CD compilation Paraphysical Cybertronics was part of a tape with much more tracks (thus the name "Track 2") by The Mover.

The Live Double CD

In the early years, the PCP live act often didn't play pre-existing tracks, but did special live tracks, that were often improvised live. Almost nothing of this surfaced later. There seems to be a split between normal tracks, that were put out on vinyl and CD, and the PCP live stuff, which was just for the live acts. In an interview Acardipane talks about a planned PCP live double CD with this material, but it never surfaced.

The Mescalinum United Ambient Album

In the famous Alien Underground interview, Marc Acardipane mentions having finished a Mescalinum United album of twisted dark ambient tracks. It never saw the light of day. Could it be that later ambient releases (1987 Metamorphosis, Jupiter Pulse) were originally part of this album?

Tomorrowland Recordings

This, and, I think, other labels, were mentioned in an old PCP feature in a magazine. These labels were planned, but never came into existence. One can only wonder what sounds would’ve been put out on them.

The PCP DVD

Around 2004, Marc Acardipane announced on the Planet-Core forum that he had rediscovered masters of plenty of unreleased tracks he had done under monikers such as Alien Christ, Ace The Space, etc. He said he wants to put them out on a big DVD, complete with unreleased video and live footage.

Again, this never saw the light of day.

The only thing that surfaced was the PCP mayday 1993 live video, which was planned to be released on this DVD.
