Six Singles from Dr. Freakowitz

You'd expect only cassettes from the desk of Dr. Freakowitz, but today and in the next 2 days I'll be posting a bunch of 7" records which he also borrowed me. There is no theme running through these 7"s, just great music. In this first batch we have two 7"s from Japanese Vanity label: Mad Tea Part and Perfect Mother. Monitor from the USA, whom I think also played with Boyd Rice at one point. Plus three 7"s from the UK, I think, none of these bands I ever heard of: Naffi, Pre Fix and The Magits.

Ice 9 - P.F.L.P. (tape, Ptose Production K021, 1983)

The Japanese musician Onnyk is behind ICE 9 and P.F.L.P. was re-released on Ptose Production in 1983. Great synth pop.

Ptose - Moxisylyte N. (tape, Ptose Production K009, 1981)

The wrap around is from carton and looks like a box of pills. Nice one. The music is also quite nice, as always with Ptose. The last Ptose release I have borrowed from Dr. Freakowitz, who is about to arrive to pick up his box. Some more posts to follow from this great collection. No tracks mentioned on my cover, but I culled them from discogs.

DDV - Industriele Typen (tape, Club Moral, 1982)

DDV is one half of Club Moral, a legendary artist duo from Belgium, playing music, doing Force Mental magazine, releasing tapes (which for quite some time were posted here, but I haven't seen an in quite some time). This particular release is the music, I guess, for an opening of an exhibition by AMVK, the other half of Club Moral. Quite rhythmical, industrial music. Nice!

Stefan Schrader - Synbild (tape, Obscure Soundz 007, 198?)

A German guy armed with synths (Korg mono/poly, monosynthesizer, analog delays, flanger, chori, phaser etc) and piano and guitar. Short pieces on the first side of electronic popmusic and all the session material on side B, plus an 'attempt to rap' song. Curious release.

The Soul Exterminator (tape, Bluboer, 1985)

A highly obscure tape from the Dr. Freakowitz collection is this one by one R. Nuyts from the small Dutch village of Geel. Hand painted, hand typed cover, loads of heavy noise. I forgot the scans so they are both here (click to enlarge)

This Time - Geen Verzamelelpee (tape, 1984)

donated by Pascal 'titi' Tabarnac

This was made by the same person that did the Terrorzone cassette, somewhere else on this blog. Long before VVM (& the Works) and even a year before the term 'plunderphonics' was introduced by John Oswald this nerdy guy from Rotterdam made his own version, fucking up well known songs from those days with his self built effects. 20 copies were made of this release and according to the sleeve they must have cost 750 guilders each! (about the same as 750 euro's now). Well i guess that's what I paid for it... I've got number 20.
