Zell Republik - Existe un hermoso país en su cabeza (Weimar Tapes/Toracic Tapes, Limited Edition, 1989/1989)



Zell Republik is Juan Pablo Monreal, also known as Proletkult and owner of Weimer Tapes, being  addressed in Madrid, Spain. 'Existe un hermoso país en su cabeza' was mixed and recorded in Plastic Studios in 1989 and besides being on WT, it was also released on Toracic Tapes by Miguel A. Ruiz in the same year.
Abstract music of 60s, musique concrete, dark ambient (but not in classical way) like and very dark in particular for the Spanish release.

Ambulatorio Segreto - Cardiotrak / Neuroconnector (Toracic Tapes, 1990)


A collaboration named Ambulatorio Segreto is a project which constitute three marvellous musicians Siegmar Fricke from Wilhelmshaven (North West Germany), Miguel A. Ruiz from Madrid (Spain) and Stefano Barban from Cavazzale (North Italy), the trio whom we are thankful for an impressive music on k7 back in the end of 80's / early 90's as well as they all left us a great casket of tracks under different pseudos (either as solo projects and collaborations). Their nine?+ cassettes were released on Toracic Tapes and Bestattungsinstitut and two of them I've heard so far differ from each other a lot.
In short, Cardiotrack / Neuroconnector is a smooth electronic release permeated with emphasized funky beats, vocal samples and a sufficient dose of gloom that was mixed in Toracic Studio (Madrid) in September. For an unknown reason I felt enormous pleasure listening to it in a car at night as an intro to another release I like to call it's younger fraternal twin - Alaska Show by Doc Wor Mirran and De Fabriek.

Noche En Bombay - Primer Catálogo De Rumores (El Consumo Del Miedo, 1980)

"In Memoriam" Louis Bromfield, en el centenario de su nacimiento.

Noche En Bombay is a side project devoted to manipulated field recordings by Spanish sound and video artist Rafael Flores, also known as Comando Bruno, ECDM and collaborator with Diseno Corbusier (accurately, he participate in their three tracks and when he left the group, Javier appears), an avant-garde electronic project along with his companions Ani Zinc and Javier G. Marin. His inexhaustible activity is noted in a lot of solo releases, collaborations with cult artists of experimental music and cult cassette labels.
It's unknown on how many compilations Flores contributated his work as Noche En Bombay. The only one I'm familiar with is International Sound Communication Compilation Volume 12 (26 July 1986) compiled and distributed as a mail art project by Andi Xport from Peterborough, England in the mid 1980s.
Primer Catalogo De Rumores is a neat musical experimentation that in a way made me think of earliest Maurizio Bianchi.
