De Zandkorrels (cassette)

From the person who gave me this tape: "De Zandkorrels were the Black Sheep after Geoff Leigh left, for normal people. They had a set in the dutch language with simple songs (i think Colin McClure wrote all the songs, later i when i joined them for some gig i noticed the all had exactly the chords, something like A/D/E, Colin joined Dull Schicksal a few years later)."

O. Olsen ‎– Solo Recordings (cassette, Extreme DEX 4666, 1987)

from Discogs: Ollie Olsen has produced much innovative music in Australia. Studied electronic music mid-70s under Felix Werder, a German composer living in Australia who had studied under Karlheinz Stockhausen. In the late 70's Ollie formed one of the first electronic bands, Whirlywirld, releasing a number of recordings on Missing Link Records. During the next ten years Ollie formed experimental outfits Hugo Klang and Orchestra of Skin and Bone, then the hard-core industrial techno band, NO. 

In the 1980s Ollie was invited to be the music producer for the movie of the sametitled compilation album "Various - Dogs In Space (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)". He provided much of the soundtrack himself, including writing the hit song Rooms For The Memory for INXS front man, and the movie's star, Michael Hutchence. After a brief collaboration with U2 on the single New York, New York by Ecco Homo, Ollie was approached by Michael Hutchence to produce an album with him. The result was Max Q. Ollie also worked at this time with American producer Todd Terry and UK producer/DJ Paul Oakenfold. 

From the success of Max Q came a major record company deal and Ollie formed the band Third Eye. The group made one album before Ollie decided to concentrate on instrumental electronic music. Thus the label Psy-Harmonics was born, with the Third Eye's LP Ancient Future as the first release. Ollie had a role as A&R for the Psy-Harmonics label, also producing a great deal of work for Psy-Harmonics. He has collaborated with other musicians on such projects as The Visitors, Antediluvian Rocking-Horse, Psyko Disko, Fluro Conspiracy, Higher Spin States, Assasin Device, Shaolin Wooden Men, and many others. His own album, Emptiness, explores Ollie's roots in avant-garde / experimental composition. 

Besides work in Psy-Harmonics, Ollie also lectures on electronic music and continues to compose for film and television. Film and television credits include 1998 feature film "Head On" from director Anna Kokkinos (which earned him an AFI nomination), "RAW FM" and "Eugenie Sandler" for ABC TV. He collaborated on interactive projects with Troy Innocent and worked on the electronic component of Australian composer Richard Mills (2)'s opera, "Batavia". 

Ollie can be seen in live experimental music performances and he performed occasionally with the Australian Art Orchestra. In 2002, he collaborated on a major orchestral project with AAO Director Paul Grabowsky.

Klimperei - Qui A Vote Le Gros Caillou? (cassette, Old Europa Cafe, 19??)

"Klimperei was, at the time, a famous duet playing typical minimalist french music with piano, toys, flutes, percussions... They were reminiscent of Pascal Comelade, Yann Tiersen, Nino Rota. Pieces of life between childish music, nostalgic jazz and funny toys, experimentations. This is music for your childish part: an expressionist theater for puppets. It is now Christophe Petchanatz solo project, more experimental, with many collaborations on records or live..."

Groningen Underground Vol. 1 (cassette, Found A New Car Records, 1990)

This blog brings you obscure music of all genres, well, many anyway, but in recent years not a lot of guitar/punk stuff. This cassette from the Dutch city of Groningen has punk and rock bands: Windigschrätz, Slow Ones, The Slam, Shattering Flowers, Sex Planet, Hell On Wheels and Hanging Manes. Not really names I heard before, but then, I am not from Groningen. This tape is not yet on Discogs.

S·Core ‎– Pretension (cassette, Staaltape ST 00V, 1988)

From Discogs: "Active since the mid of the eighties, Japanese musician Yutaka Tanaka released his works under the name S-CORE. Early works are all cassette albums he put out on his own cassette label Afflict Records, many of those were recorded via mail collaboration with many sound artists from international underground scene, such as Stefano Biasin (Italy), Telepherique and Trigger B (Germany), Merzbow (Japan), Al Margolis/If, Bwana (USA), Rafael Flores (Spain)."

I believe he has disappeared from the scene. This is a fresh new rip

Night$oil 5 Futurists? (cassette, Finger In The Dike , Hole 005, Chaos Breweries Tapes , CBT 03, 1981

I think it was finding this online in 2007 that made we discover the world wide blog thing and obscure music. I have this cassette since 1981, when it came on Finger In The Dike, a Dutch label, and perhaps the start of a live long interest in cassettes. I lost the original download and did a new, fresh rip of it.
