Small Cruel Party - Six 7inch Records

"Small Cruel Party's work is focused on the inherent mysterious and beautiful quality of sound itself, with the emphasis on noninstrumental sound sources, the source itself not being readily apparent. Work generally involves manipulation of physical objects in acoustic space and a great deal of concentrated activity. Even in pieces involving dense sound at high volume the resultant effect is one of intense calm."
Today we have a look at various of his 7"s, in fact almost all of them, just one split missing with Daniel Menche and his eM13 7" here. But we have:
