Idea Fire Company - Rags To Riches (tape, Pineapple Tapes 003, 2005)

Recently I got 'permission' from Scott Foust to post his Pineapple tapes label here, and this is the second post. It has various live pieces by Idea Fire company, Foust' best known project that works in the field of organised drone music. Excellent 90 minute tape.

Club Skull - The Origins Of... (tape, G.R.O.S.S. GR013, 1993)

A trio of Fumio Kosakai, Akifumi Nakajima (the man behind G.R.O.S.S.), Hiroshi Hasegawa who all play synthersizers and electronics. Quite a nice drone music release. Part of the cover for this release is missing here with me. It says on discogs: "Packaged in double layer cover with translucent outer layer and folder inner layer with attched photograph.", I only have the translucent outer layer.

David Lee Myers - Feedback Music II (tape, Generations Unlimited, 1988)

Discogs lists this as by Arcane Device, but the cover says its by David Lee Myers, the man behind that alias. He has built his own complex system of creating feedback music, but its never really noise based.

Frans de Waard/Micheal Wurzer - Rumor De Materia 2 (tape, Iep tapes 114, 1989)

I posted the first volume quite some time ago, but here is the second (and last?) volume. Frans de Waard is of course the man from Kapotte Muziek, celebrating their 25th anniversary here, and many other things. Micheal Wurzer is the guy that ran (runs?) the Clockwork Tapes label. His side is based on synthesizers , while De Waard has a pretty noisy set of typeloops. Released in an edition of 45 copies.

Chop Shop/Gen Ken Montgomery - Fragment 4 (tape, ND, 19??)

A split tape between Chop Shop of whom I posted some music before and Gen Ken Montgomery. It was released by ND in their Fragment series. This is, I think, the final release from the series and the only one I have. Quite experimental electronics. A booklet with interviews by both is also scanned and enclosed.

Boule (tape, Ptose Production, 1985)

I never knew what 'Boule' meant, but it was one of the 'star' tracks by the French band Ptose, but it is also the name of this compilation. Maybe there is a link to christmas, if I look at the cover. According to Discogs all tracks are called 'Boule', maybe its a cover tape? Included are Anne Gillis, Renaldo & The Loaf, Nigel Jacklin, Utilisation Du Vieux Port, Rob Van Wijngaarden, Harri Englund, John J. Cabanis, Mark Lane, Die Endzeitakrobaten, Wolfgang Wiggers, Die Form, Ice 9, The Grief DDAA, Ericka Irganon, Satellite, DZ Lectric, Collision Experimentale, The Legendary Pink Dots, ZZe, 1/2 Japanese, Les Canigous, Van Kaye & Ignit.

Trumpett - The Christmas Years (CDR, Trumpett trum 0517, 2005)

"By my own counting this blog won't make it until christmas 2009", I wrote last year on christmas day. So its hard to predict things, certainly when they concern the future. But then this great compilation by Trumpett Tapes, given to me by one of the Trumpett associates. It includes that excellent Ende Sneafliet's 'X-Mas Card From Outer Space', but also some other nice Christmas songs packed as electronic ballads by Dinochrome, TTT's Play & Dance Choir, Doxa Sinistra, Solitude FX and a crazy mix by Trumpetto. You see on the image it looks like a CD and it probably is, which might be the exception for this blog
