As I said a couple of posts ago when I posted about the After Words LP, I seem to be increasingly drawn toward DC hardcore as time passes. The guy who sold that LP also had some Ignition 12"s for sale at a very fair price, so I decided to scoop up all three at the same time. Rarely have I been so excited to pick up a pile of black vinyl records. Anyway, let's get down to it in chronological order...
The first 12" compiles the band's two 7"s which were self released (although the second was also part released by Dischord). This 12" was released by the band, which I don't think I ever knew until this arrived. I always thoguht it was on Dischord.
'Machination' is the band's debut 12 song LP. This was released as Dischord Recprds 31 and Ignition Records 4 back in 1988.
And finally, 'The Orafying Mysticle Of...' from 1989. Whilst this is described as an LP, it only contains 6 songs, so in my mind it's more of an EP. But Dischord definitely refer to it as a full length LP.
I tried to get into Ignition many years ago and it didn't really click with me for whatever reason. But as I have thought and said before, sometimes a record will only grab you at a specific time. Just because you've checked something out and it didn't grab you doesn't mean you shouldn't try again at some point. As we reach the end of 2025, Ignition is everything I want.
