Wow this is absolutely awesome! Thanks for sharing this man. Would you mind letting me download this so I can make a burnt copy? I was able to win the To Know Whats Up cd on ebay, should be in anytime, but this shit is really cool, I never thought I'd hear any of their other releases. Cheers man, and thanks a lot!

I didn't upload it, I just stumbled upon it in my never ending quest for Unified Culture stuff, but there are ways to download it (your temporary internet folder). I emailed the guy that ran the site and he gave me some really cool information on UC and the origins of MRH, I'll post the email later.

Right on man, that all sounds interesting, ive been looking for stuff on the band too. I read somewhere there were 4 releases. 1 demo, 2 cds, and an ep. Not sure if that's accurate or not, but it makes me very curious to find it and listen. Thanks again for this great find!

Yup, there are 4 releases. The one in the link is the first one, the 1991 Demo.

Here's some interesting info he sent me:

I was in Unified Culture from about 1990 till around 1993. Actually
Unified Culture started off as a studio project. The bands I was in before
UC, the singer use to work with Jason (J. Mann) before he was in any bands.
Jason was looking to record a demo and I use to do recordings so we hooked
up. So we started recording demos on a 4 track back in 89/90. We would
bring in bass players up until Jason hooked up with the drummer from back
then Vic. Shortly after that Craig (Bass) came along and John (other
guitar) then Mike. They were a great bunch of guys to work with. I ended
up leaving because Jason was in the process of getting a large sum of money
to start seriously recording and the musical direction of the project
wasn't 100% what I was looking for. So rather than waste the rest of the
bands time & money I decided to leave.

A little more history if you didn't already know. Mushroom head was started
out of UC. John Sekula (JJ. Richeous) was working with a keyboard player
towards the end of his time in UC. John asked me if I was interested but at
that time I was overloaded with other obligations (mistake). This turned
out to be the start of MushroomHead. I actually went to high school with
Jeff Hatrix (Jeffrey Nothing). He was a few years older than me. The first
high school talent show (when I was in 9th grade) Jeff was playing, I
believe he was in 12th grade. This may take a lot of looking but I should
have his performance on tape as well.

I do have many pictures and other recording from back in the day. It will
take me some time to convert this and get them on the site. Jason an I use
to do a lot of demo recording so if it didn't make it to a show I probably
have it on tape (yes tape back then). Probably the coolest thing I have
with Jason was a Jackson 5 cover over a techno mix. Craig and I recorded a
few items but the only think I can find with him is one of my originals and
him playing on it. He was incredible back then as well.

I normally populate past sites when I have down time so if you don't hear
back check the site every now and then for updates.

Thanks for writing,

Scott

Umm, what about the full length album 'Realize' from '93 and the 4-song ep 'Numbskull' from '94? Those exist as actual releases on cassette with artwork...I own them.
