Tecnoville - Live Effenaar, Eindhoven 8.5.81 (tape, LeBel Period lp 600, 1981)

Much of the music of Tecnoville has been posted already, but not this very nice live recording from 1981. The piece 'Results' ends abrupt on side A and is started again on side B, so I skipped the version on the first side.

De Sekte - Ex Libris (tape, Stichting Update Materials st 004, 1982)

After the Massmirror drama, now Shareonall has disappeared, following complaints by Gema.
Ok, quite a loss, but less than Massmirror. I am already re-upping on Rapidshare. Once Rapidshare collapses, this blog stops. I will not go somewhere else again.

Because I am busy with reupping everything today a short tape from the EU Records batch, the twenty minute tape by De Sekte, which was a percussion band from the people around Dier, which we posted before. Members where P. van der Kruis, M. Hoogeboom and R. van Deuveren.

Rob Smit - Metaal (tape, Kubus Kassettes kk 004, 1981)

Music is something you should get on the real thing, CD, LP, cassette, and this blog merely serves as pointers to good music, which sometimes is forgotten, but if you look hard you are able to find it. EU Records is one such place where one can find interesting releases, and the owner has been extremely kind to lent me a few cassettes, which I will now post. They are all for sale at his place, except for the one, which I kept. But for the next ten days or so, only tapes, and all of them for sale at EU Records. We kick off this trip with Rob Smit, the owner of Kubus Kassettes. I already posted various of his tapes before, which are usually quite ambient, but with a good sense of experimentalism. On his own 'Metaal' release, he produced three long pieces with a toy xylophone, which is slowed down with a reel to reel machine and treated with some effects. I wished Smit would put this out on CDR! He sells old photographs these days.

John Trubee And The Ugly Janitors Of America - Strange Hippie Sex Carnival (LP, Musical Tragedies MT 083, 1987) plus two 7" singles

Has 433RPM complete gone mad? Absolutely not. I like to present music on my own blog that I personally like, and I might be the only person in the world who likes John Trubee, so be it. This somewhat strange musician who lead an avant-garde jazz/rock band (his own words from 'Cassette Mythos'), but also made tapes with atmospheric synthesizer tapes and prank phone calls. This LP 'Strange Hippie Sex Carnaval' is an absolute favorite of mine. I added two of his 7"s, including his infamous 'Blind Man's Penis' and a split 7" with Frank Zappa, part of Musical Tragedies saw blade 7"s. And more to come by him!

I posted music by this great lo-fi drone, noise group before, and here is one of the few tapes I have by him.

Odal - Against Nature (tape, Lor Teeps, 19??)

No doubt this came with a booklet of any sorts with collages by Peter Zincken, but I don't have, just the tape in a rather dull cover. It's released on the Dutch Lor Teeps. More noise from the Dutch master.

Omit - Alienation (tape, Deepskin Conceptual Mindmusic, 1990)

"Clinton Williams has been on a highly personal journey into sound since the late 1980's. Starting from scratch, using modified electric motors as his sole sound source, he has built up a home studio and battery of hand-made and salvaged electronic sound sources, with which to pursue his researches into the human psyche. Working in complete isolation for several years, before making contact with a few like-minded souls in other parts of the world, he has released a mass of cassettes and lathe-cut polycarbonate records on his own Deepskin Conceptual Mindmusic imprint. He has also collaborated with Bruce Russell as Dust/Omit, and Paul Toohey as Omit/K Group."
Alienation was one of his earliest releases of nice experimental electronics with a strong low-fi edge to it. More of his to come.
