Thae Collective - To Disappear When Time Has Come (tape, De Koude Oorlog sz 009, 1987)

I somehow missed out posting this before, when I did a whole bunch of Dutch tapes, another from Den Helder's Koude Oorlog label, with various people involved such as Dikyl Brobojo, From Me To You, Rich. Maipauw and St. Cos. Metal percussion and electronics.

Small Cruel Party ? (tape, 19??)

Also a questionmark is this one. A handpainted cassette box which has Small Cruel Party written on the side, but is it Small Cruel Party? I am not sure. Just one 15 minute piece though. Maybe someone knows.

Nurse With Wound - Devices (tape, 1986)

The final copy of a copy is this tape, of which Discogs says: "Bootleg Bought from XxX reckords.
Material seems to be a mix ov NWW Early material and audio recordings that are certainly not Nurse With Wound. Most Likely a home made bootleg by John ZeWizz. Steven Stapleton was more than annoyed about this Tape and Devices 2 when brought up in conversation during 1988." I doubted whether I should post this, but I did. Listen and delete.

Snatch Tapes 1 (tape, Snatch Tapes, 1980?)

Also not copied from an original, but from a copy of a copy (but still sounding good, and not for sale and also I have no recollection of who gave these to me), this first of three compilations (I only have this one) with Karls Empty Body, N4s, Storm Bugs, Steven Reynolds, Claire Thomas & Susan Vezey and A. Clough.

Swimming Behavior Of The Human Infant - Oroko Do (tape, 198?)

The problem if you don't have originals, you never know for sure if you have the whole thing (well, perhaps with tapes you never know anyway). Discogs lists this a 90 minute tape, so this might either be wrong, or my copied version is shorter, thirty minutes. Anyway, a pretty obscure release by Achim Wollscheid, who was then calling himself SBOTHI, or Swimming Behavoir OF The Human Infant. Pretty noisy stuff

someone left this comment, which i accidentely refused, sorry about that:

Jeffrey Filla has left a new comment on your post
"Oroko Do" is the title of one of the SBOTHI videos that somebody posted onto YouTube only a few weeks ago along with some other old SELEKTION OPTIK videos. If you dig Achim Wollscheid's xerox art (like I always have), then check out the SBOTHI video called "Hiatus Pt. 2"

thanks for that... this is the film

Organum - Pulp/Icon (tape, 1983)

Discogs: David Jackman is the man behind the sounds. He has been working in the field of musical experimentation and improvisation for over 25 years. His early work, documented in scores as well as performances with Scratch Orchestra, offers only a glimpse of the drone-based dynamics that would appear later. While his last 15 years have been dedicated to the music of Organum, Jackman's future plans include more work on independent solo projects.

On the excellent website devoted to Organum we find this about this cassette release
Entry 4:14 Pulp | Icon
Artist Organum
Label :: Cat# no label :: no catalogue number
Country :: Year UK :: 1983 (mid)
Format Cassette album :: black & white photocopies inlay
Edition 9 copies only [each one is a unique performance]
Tracks Side A :: Pulp
Side B :: Icon

This was the first ever appearance of the name ‘Organum’. Black & white cover with an ‘X’ motif over scratched monoprint background. The word ‘Organum’ appears on the cassette spine. Track titles appear on the inside of the cover. The cassette is a standard Sony CHF C30 cassette tape with a small yellow, round label with the number n/100 on the bottom left of side A, where n is a number between 1 and 9. Originally 100 were intended, but the project only got as far as number 9. Just one copy was sold. Copy numbers 1 and 9 were used as the basis of Kanroku (see entry 1:11). The sounds were derived from 6 linked square-wave oscillators custommade by David Jackman. All sounds by David Jackman. The tapes were recorded on a stereo cassette deck and monitored using headphones.
