Chop Shop - Powerdrunk (tape, Banned Production BP 30, 1992)

I am not sure if I put the track titles right. They might also be the other way around. Nice tape by Chop Shop. I posted some of his music before.

Swallowing Scrap Metal (tape, Gut Level Music GL3, 1984)

Gut Level Music was a shop and label in Brockton, MA and only existed for a short while. Or least: it quickly disappeared after they released this cassette, a compilation with

A01 Autopsia Song Of Hate
A02 Blackhouse Long Live Life
A03 Blackhouse Abolition Of Strife
A04 Instruction* The End Of The Line
A05 Furry Couch Gutter Level Music
A06 Furry Couch Outta Da Blue
A07 FâLX çèrêbRi Lymphonoduli Aggregati
A08 White Hand This Is So
A09 White Hand One Blood One Land
A10 Pacific 231 (2) Mental Central Units (Private Aktion 2)
A11 Pacific 231 (2) Steel Days
A12 Pacific 231 (2) Fornication
B01 Controlled Bleeding Knees And Bones
B02 Final Solution (4) 3-15-84
B03 3,14 Incantation II
B04 H.G. Wells (3) Fond Memories Of Murder
B05 H.G. Wells (3) Information
B06 Coup De Grace Aufziehen 2
B07 Psyclones Norway Aktion
B08 Borbetomagus Rockland County Health Center 12-18-83

I didn't scan the entire booklet. Needles to say I don't have the elaborate edition as described on Discogs. Following track A12 there is also a short piece that is not on the cover, of rewinding tapes.

Current 93/Nurse With Wound (tape, Staalplaat OOF, 1985)

Somebody spotted an aweful mistake totally mine! On May 18th I posted what I thought was the Last Few Days cassette on Staalplaat, but in fact it was the Staalplaat Current 93/Nurse With Wound release. If you already downloaded this release, then change the tags to:

1. Current 93 - NL Centrum Amsterdam 8-12-84
2. Nurse With Wound - NL Centrum Amsterdam 8-12-84

Daask - Beat Holy Island (tape, Staalplaat, 198?)

And to stay in the corner of Finger In The Dike, there is also this tape by Daask. I believe that this was a group of film/video makers, and this tape of course only contains the soundtrack, as recorded by Sluik/Kurpershoek. They worked together from 1982 to 2001 on music, video and visual art. Staalplaat released a CD by them. According to Frans de Waard's cassette catalogue Finger In The Dike released this, but the small booklet mentions Staalplaat. I gather just for distribution. Oh well. Nice industrial music.

I know that all the posts with files on Xirror have been removed and I am re-loading them on Share On All. Try again in the next few days for those.

Throw Me Your Finger - Eleven Chants From Heaven (In Stereo) (tape, Finger In The Dike, 198?)

The first time I heard Throw Me Your Finger was on the Korm Plastics compilation 'Katacombe Vol. 3', with an excellent piece of industrial drumming and classical music (Anton Bruckner, my father knew it). The only other release they have, save a track on the 'Illuminated No. 2', which I posted earlier and '6x10=60 volume 1', is this thirty minute tape on Finger In The Dike, one of the first Dutch cassette labels. According to the insert Throw Me Your Finger are Dirk de Vries and Roelof-Jan Minneboo, the latter still active in art (I believe) and as far as I know they were from Amsterdam. This tape wasn't the same as the first meeting, but 'I think He's Dead' is a very nice and humorous piece.

Arcane Device - Seven (tape, Banned Productions BP 31, 1990)

"Arcane Device is the project of David Myers to release his experimental works with manipulated feedback processing. Myers invented his own machine for feedback and started releasing his first experimental works in 1987. He has also collaborated with people like Asmus Tietchens, Kim Cascone, and others and has his own label called Pulsewidth." This is his seventh release as Arcane Device.

Strange Project - Some Bizarre (double tape, Zimbo Tapes 7 & 8, 198?)

Yesterday John P, formerly of Zimbo Tapes left behind some comments and it included a link to Hyves, the very Dutch equivalent to Facebook (or some such crap), so maybe go there. I'd prefer if John would start his own blog for the rest of Zimbo, because this double tape is about the last thing I have from this label: the final thing is a six or seven cassette compilation, which I may do, at one point further away in time and a regular cassette. This tape, Strange Project is a regular Zimbo release, but it came with a free tape, in an edition of 12 copies, also part of this post.
