A compilation of musique concrete like collage music by French artists Toy Bizarre, Ashes To Ashes, Salamandre and Bruno Moreigne. The first and the last are still active, although with some refined music in similar style.
Today I heard a friend of mine died. I didn't know him that well, but his girlfriend I do know from 'work' and I borrowed records from him, back in the old days of this blog Mgr. Ubu was his name. He wasn't that old and has two small children. A very sad day indeed. The other day I borrowed a whole bunch of punk rock cassettes from someone else, and among was this tape. It seems like the most appropiate thing to post, since one of the members of Trespassers W knew Mgr. Ubu as well. Dutch 'rock' band, of sorts.
Luca Miti (born 1957) is an Italian composer and pianist.
Percussion music from this musician for a dance company. Fast Forward is a New York based english composer and performer who makes music with almost anything. In the early seventies, he studied media and performance with Stuart Marshall in Newcastle, England. In 1976 he emigrated to California to study electronic music with Robert Ashley and David Behrman at Mills College in Oakland. He moved to New York in 1981. In addition to his own music, he has produced music and musical events for various artists and organisations. In 1993 in conjunction with The Wooster Group, he curated "The Accident" nine evenings of performance music at The Performing Garage in New York City. He has toured extensively as a guest composer and musician for The Merce Cunningham Dance Company. He has composed and performed music for numerous dance companies and choreographers.


From the artist website: The music of the composer N. R. Hills (or Nigel Hills as he's known when not in his creative mode) is difficult to describe, as it covers a wide range, from delicate beauty to dark foreboding, often in the space of just a moment. Reviewers have compared his music to that of Vangelis, Brian Eno, Philip Glass,Tangerine Dream, David Sylvian, The Aphex Twin, The Residents, Robert Fripp, Synergy, Peter Frohmader, Yes, Fatboy Slim, Kitaro, David Van Tieghem, Neuronium, Kurt Riemann, Heldon, Asmus Tietchens, 23 Skidoo, Claudio Simonetti, Simon Boswell, Steve Roach and Bill Nelson. The inspiration for his music has come from such diverse subjects as Norse Mythology, Breughel's painting 'The Triumph Of Death', the nursery rhyme Shock-Headed Peter and the nightmare of VCJD (the human form of Mad Cow Disease). He is also an accomplished artist whose work can be seen gracing the covers of numerous books by such authors as Robert Aickman, Philip K. Dick, Clifford D. Simak and C. J. Cherryh. His artwork can be seen on 7 of his 8 album covers (the cover for his other album, 'Romeo And The Beast', was by the famous artist/film-maker Dave Mckean). This website contains track details, shows cover artwork, reviews of the music and excerpts from each of the albums.

A dutch band, with some great minimal electronic music. This is the second release, I don't have the first one. The third one I will post soon.




We return to EU records with this dutch new wave band from the 80s. They still exist! Not the best recording quality even when it was recorded by Dutch radio…
