Underground Fossils was an indie rap focused blog run by myself (Dimxsk) and by Trylemma, who passed August 3rd, 2024 from liver failure of unknown origin at the age of 34. We mostly posted week or twice weekly, the bulk of which were rare rips we made, found on old blogs, he acquired through his insanely broad connection to the scene, etc. We did all we could to make sure we didn't post stuff that (1) You could still reasonably buy from the artist directly, (2) You could reasonably buy secondhand for cheap, (3) You could download easily elsewhere, (4) The artist(s) asked us not to for any reason. Being involved in this blog was some of the most fun I ever had, even if at times it was time consuming, challenging or intimidating (having a readership). It was the product of one of the best friendships I've ever had. If I could say one last thing, it's to encourage all of you: if you have the time and desire, make your own UGF. Find a friend who loves this shit like you do and build it together. It will bring you incredible joy, enhance your connection to this amazing community, and change your life in unexpected and exciting ways. I know it did mine. Love you all!

Object Beings - Object Beings (2001)





Okay, by request we have the self titled CDr by Anticon's three oddest voices as the Object Beings. Pedestrian, Dose One and Why? (when that was just one person, not a band) along with someone called Emynd. What could go wrong?

The result is possibly one of the strangest things Anticon ever was involved in, and that's saying a lot. Many of these tracks are just noise experiments, spoken word poems, or random samples. The full songs aren't bad however, specifically the "Theatre of Nature" tracks are enjoyable and the remix of "The Cannibalism of the Object Beings" has it's moments.

For fans of Anticon only. You've been warned.

    1. Lol yeeeees it is. I feel like Sole adds a touch of (relative) normality to that one though, so I feel like this one wins.

  3. Nice to hear this again. Loved the early Anticon stuff, especially the Dose related material. Was obsessed with Greenthink and the 'Slow Death' album when they dropped.
