about

Berbel Nobodius was originally conceived as a vehicle for Melvyn to explore ‘Melodic Ambience’. These tracks were conceived using a more experimental approach to compositions, mainly instrumental in nature, but on occasion still deploying Melvyn’s funereal tones.

‘Wanton But Windblown’ is Berbel’s first dispatch, originally released in 1989 on vinyl, via Hamster Records.

In 2012, most of the Hamster Records back catalogue was made available digitally on Bandcamp.

The Pixies had their 'Quiet-Loud' schtick. Here Berbel Nobodius shares his 'Short-Long' sessions. Off-kilter contemplative washes, and ear-worm melodies, interspersed with bursts of nightmare worlds. A roller-coaster of a ride through different terrains.

Having rediscovered his musical mojo during the COVID lockdown, Berbel Nobodius has new music on the boil. The first splash out of the pot is 'Death Of Democracy'. melvynzpad.bandcamp.com/track/death-of-democracy-full-version

Melvyn Z Pad recommends:

The Last Dissonance
by Push-Button Pleasure

The 2nd LP, & possibly the more accesible, is armed with a musical maturity & less of a desire to shock, but still combines ample musical left-turns with solid melodic lines, rewarding repeated plays. Melvyn Z Pad

The Vast Difference
by Push-Button Pleasure

Conceived in that sweet spot in time, between the liberation of Punk & the big-label explotation of New-Romanticism., Pushbutton Pleasure's 1st LP ploughed a very deep furrow in DIY musical dissent. Melvyn Z Pad
