Disabuse Transmissions (five tapes)

This lot was kindly donated by Frans de Waard with the special request to post it today, January 7th. He wrote: 'January 7th is the day that most likely my friend and first band member of Kapotte Muziek commited suicide in 2002. He left his house on January 5 and was found at the end of March by farmer on his land nearby Nijmegen. I learned of his death in 2006. When we made music together, in 1984-1987, he was very much interested in the whole notion of releasing cassettes, and he started his own label, Disabuse Transmissions. I don't think he ever sold any, but he gave me the covers and masters, so I could sell them through my own label. I also helped him getting the Nails Ov Christ release and the 'Ontwaakt' compilation. The other three releases were all recorded by Christian. Two of them as Factor 6, of which I no longer know what it stood for. The Factor 6 tape on Opus Dei Society was not recorded by him, but by me. The 'Rock N Roll' release by Kapotte Muziek is entirely Christian solo. This is the entire catalogue of his label." More on Christian here the catalogue: DT 1 Factor 6 - Chemical Warfare (c15) DT 2 Kapotte Muziek - Rock N Roll (c30) DT 3 Nails Ov Christ - Dark Night Of The Soul (c30) DT 4 Ontwaakt! compilation with Nails Ov Christ, Kapotte Muziek, Narzisse, Factor 6 and small links in between by Post Destruction Music DT 5 Factor 6 - Beyond Birth And Death download

Trax - Neoist Ghosts (tape, Trax 1085, 1985)

From Deli Plain

To answer L'étranger's question about "Basis Orguna / AKAUCN": No, that tape is not the same as "TRAX 1085 Neoists Ghosts". The proof is in the pudding, or rather: in this posting. "TRAX 1085 Neoists Ghosts" was edited and published by the Italian mail artist and underground musicia Vittore Baroni in 1985, two years after his tape Area
Condizionata 3: Videogames For The Blind. It was the final "post-mortem" release of his legendary TRAX label, made in a period when he actively participated in Neoism (and ten years before having his hands in the similar-minded Luther Blissett project).

The "SMILE side" of the cassette consists of a sound collage based on Vittore's field recordings from the 9th Neoist Festival in the Northern Italian village of Ponte Nossa. It features the voices and sound material of Pete Horobin, Istvan Kantor, Glassmadness, Rod Summers, Graf Haufen & Hapunkt Fix, Ginny Lloyd, Andy Stenhouse, Robin Crozier, Al Ackerman, Emilio Morandi, tENTATIVELY, G. Achille Cavellini, David Zack, Arthur Berkhoff, Gerald Jupitter Larsen, Stewart Home, Mark Bloch, Basic
Essentials, Gordon W. & Dave Porter, Black Hand Gang, Chico Louis, Niels Lomholt, Tristan Renaud, Boris Wanowitch, First Aid Brigade & the people of Ponte Nossa.

The "SNARL side" contains five tracks by Déficit des Annees Anterieures (DDAA), Die Form, Roberto Marinelli, Zone Verte, Daniele Ciullini & Vivenza in a nonstop mix.

The download file includes Vittore's liner notes to the cassette, his obituary for the TRAX project, and selections from his SMILE/SNARL magazine published in the same year. And, in order to either avoid or perfect the confusion, "Trax 1085 Neoist Ghosts" is not identical to Hapunkt Fix's "The Sound of Neoism", another field recording sound
collage from the same festival based on partly the same audio material.

Random Series Vol. 1 (tape, L'Agence Des Refuses RS 1, 1984)

We already posted some tapes by L'Agence Des Refuses, all compilations, and here is another one, donated by Dr. Freakowitz. Although volume one, we don't think there was ever another volume. The idea was to present more serious, almost modern classical music. Included are pieces by Wendy Chambers, Pascal Comelade/David Cunningham, Ros Brandt & I.I.M.E and Otto J. Grunbauer, the man who once ran Red Rat Recordings, the biggest cassette label of the netherlands. Some websites:

Roy G. Biv - Audition Coloree (tape, 1981)

Roy G. Biv was a band from Amsterdam who produced independently some tapes. Edward Vuderink (guitars, voice), Frans Evers (keyboards), Robin Deirkauf (keyboards), Dr R.G.B. Eggs (drums). More pschedelic music and not always great, but as Dr. Freakowitz said, they stand through time.

Dirt Lib 1 (tape, Cliche Productions, 1983)

Some time ago, Dutch writer Martin Bril wrote about the 80s, saying 'your friend would buy an album, you would tape it for yourself and other friends, make a cover, color it and all of this on the dole'. I had to think of that writing when looking at the first (and only?) issue of Dirt Lib, a magazine and cassette. I can't scan the magazine without damaging it, so I didn't. Their idea was 'to capture sound and music on paper and cassette'. It was made by one Ulf Mappe, who is also on the tape, also with E23, Truuk + Mutella, Guy de B, Beats Per Minutem C.A.U.W. and H.v.Z. + Nettie. The sound and poetry recall the 80s very well. Its not the quality of what you, its do it yourself, I guess.

F/i / Vocokesh - Merge Parlour / 3 New Untitled Tracks (LP, RRRecords RRR 082, 1992) F/i - From Poppy With Love (7", SSS Productions, RRRecords SSS 50

Every bit of music is a piece of firework as far as I'm concerned, so today no special firework release. I realized I didn't post a piece of vinyl is some days, so here's one. Music by Vocokesh has been posted before and as said then Vocokesh is a sort of hobby project of Richard Franecki, whose main band is F/i.
"F/I are From Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and has been around since 1981, releasing half a dozen LPs on RRRecords. The band started out as a unit elaborating on noise structures in the tradition of Throbbing Gristle or Nurse With Wound. They are also influenced by Hawkwind and Spacemen 3. In 1983 they changed their name from Surfin´ Führers, The to F/i. Richard Franecki later went on to form Vocokesh but still returning to F/i once n a while." This is a split record of both bands. What it says on discogs "12" comes pressed on clear vinyl in a clear plastic sleeve with a sticker that says "WARNING! This Record Will Kill You" might not be true, at least my copy doesn't have the sticker. Also in this post a 7" by F/i.
