Ruud Kluivers is perhaps best known for his label Stichting Stopcontact, who released the five Contactdisc albums, but he also produced his own music. Under his own name, but also with others and this highly obscure tape, which also involvement of Rob van Wijngaarden, also known as Mental (and of whom I don't have many tapes, but perhaps Dr. Freakowitz does. This is all quite an experimental synthesizer tape, no waves.
When I posted Forced Run two weeks ago, somebody was quite disapointed that it was so 'wavy' and almost exactely the same as the Staalplaat tape. He/she also asked about a c60 on Staalplaat. I don't think I have that one, but I do have 'Fase', another short release, on Staalplaat. Hopefully more to his liking. 'Massive Trance' soon.
I tried to find some information about Herman Brand, a performing pop music poet (even when there is no music on this release as such), but I couldn't. So sorry. It is a short tape, 23 minutes only, with the same program on the b-side. I thought this was quite good, even when I am that much of a lover of this kind of stuff. Spoken in Dutch of course
Richard Zijlstra might be best known as the producer of the legendary VPRO Radionome programm, and perhaps also as Gentic Factor. As such he had a track on the Radionome LP. I am not sure what he does these days, nor when he would choose for then name Em to record music. Maybe this is driven by rhythm? Nice synth based alternative popmusic though.
Before Het Zweet gained some reputation through their liason with the Recloose Organisation, they, or rather he (Marien van Oers) released some tapes, some through Staalplaat. Before Het Zweet there was Forced Run. This tape here is rather short, and released on the label Het Zweet (rather confusing perhaps), and consists of two unnamed persons playing bass synthesizer percussion and vocals along with prepared rhythm tapes. Perhaps more like a demo.
