80s experimental sounds

part 2

glitch in the colors is the debut full length vinyl release by useless idea, aka italian artist and producer, cesare bignotti (weme)

land of the drums ist eine einzigartige mischung aus natürlichen tiergeräuschen im rhythmus und einem treibenden dance percussion beat. der produzent neftali santiago (ehemaliger drummer von mandrill) war 1980 ein sample-pionier. alle tiergeräusche wurden mit einem melotron (erster sampler mit analogen tapeloops) eingespielt. die single war nur als promo erhältlich und erregte in holland viel aufmerksamkeit, z.b. als radiosong in der legendären radiosendung soul show mit ferry maat. die promo-exemplare werden wegen der sammelleidenschaft der djs für bis zu 85 dollar pro stück verkauft. heutzutage gibt es immer noch eine nachfrage nach der platte.

essential release!

after last years excellent discoveries from volume 1, another batch of lost and unreleased dutch (cassette) material is coming back to the future. for this sequel we dug deep into the dutch lowlands and again found some independent music thats still relevant today. in the process we met even more amazing musicians and heard great stories from a distant-not-so-distant past. expect a wide palette of diy and experimental sounds by artists from groningen, zwolle, arnhem, the hague, rotterdam, tilburg and deurne. volume 2 will also feature a beautifully designed inlay with liner notes in dutch and english. mastered by wouter brandenburg, designed by steele bonus and compiled by mark van de maat.

featuring a wide range of artists (das ding, plus instruments, de fabriek for a start!) from the amsterdam fetisj scene and cities such as rotterdam, utrecht, the hague, and zwolle. it gives a glimpse into the artistic diy music movement that was growing extensively outside of mainstream circles.the beautifully printed record sleeve was designed by steele bonus. it includes liner notes (in english and dutch) that paint a great picture of the context where these bands and artists lived and breathed. it is compiled by mark van de maat and mastered by rude 66.

from ras_g: “the god spell beat tape just happened. i always make quick freestyle beats at work. i work at a “wrekastow” so i m always surrounded and listening to random records and after my bluntch breaks. i would come in make a few quick joints on my spaceprogram 303 and i just ran thru the gospel section that round and in 2 weeks i had. the gospel of the godspell.”

after big succes of first two releases, with love from dam swindle, jimpster, shur-i-kan - to name a few - polish label astropical tapes is back with their third vinyl only release called -interstellar cuts- ep. record contains tracks from polish rising talents: astro buhloone, tanzlife, marcin krupa, easy audio & invent

a industrial callous, caustic and fervently cruel ep. contort yourself has once again gathered the best and boldest from past and present for its fourth ep. to begin with we have the grimacing visage of volition immanent, an intense live act made up of parrish smith and mark van de maat (knekelhuis). behind rawkish distortion, splintered beats and acrid bars screams a boiled anger, a track spitting on the divides of punk and electronics. nastiness is taken up a notch as noise ne er-do-wells zombies under stress take over. static is bent and doubled across thick chords and collapsed clap in the 1986 -maan zal zijn before the raw and raging battery of in onze tijd. l.i.e.s. regular svengalisghost grapples with maan zal zijn, channelling the originals rage into a mechanical monster. the 12inch is bookended with bite as mark forshaw (tabernacle/berceuse heroique) closes with the tortured and torrential thump of submission.

warning, this release is quite different from older cn, a lot more suited for home listening on a good system.
