El Coleccionista De Poliedros - Cacofonías Egipánicas (Laboratorios del sueño, C60, 1986)

El Collecionista De Poliedros (Juan Escolano) is creating sounds by electronic and non-electronic

 intruments, the final product are harsh industrial sounds and contemporary environments.

 His music is essentially random and improvised with the help of

 electronics that is #1 and the most important factor as well as utilization of

 noise and different objects of daily use that may cause noise mainly

 based on the experiments carried out by the Italian and Russian Futurists and later by Dada movement



Juan has been in fields such as collage, painting, mail art, sculpture, graphics,

music fanzines, books of expression, etc...


Cacofonías Egipánicas is recorded live by mic stand with very basic and simple systems.



~ MINI MANIFESTO ~
The sound is beautiful and is part of our life, it surrounds and envelops us. Don't hate, learn to listen, to love and create positively!

Sound elements:
Keyboards, distortion and ambient tape, radio waves, bottled water, voice, laboratory atmosphere, "metal to metal" (metal percussion).

The tracks that make up this cassette are drawn from 3 different cassettes
1) "Mare Vaporum": Tracks 2 and 8.

2) "Event fluidos": Tracks 3, 4, 5 and 6.

3) "Gracias a las máquinas": Tracks 1 and 9.
 
SIDE A
A1 Transformaciones
A2 Poema Nibelungo
A3 Torsion Agitacion (El trabajo de las maquinas)

JAVIER HERNANDO - QUEBRANTOS (CONV ‎– CNV61, 4 × File, MP3, 320 kbps) (2010)



Otra joyaza de Javier Hernando, en este caso un repaso a sus trabajos realizados entre 2002 y 2004. No se trata de un disco físico sino de una edición descargable del sello CONV que incluye un pdf con la carátula para imprimirla, recortarla y construirla. Cuatro temazos como cuatro soles que van coronados con una frase de María Zambrano en la contraportada: "La música que crea un transfuturo (lejano) que nace del corazón o de las entrañas del abismo del ultraolvido."

Disfrutad...

Various - Informátor 00II (not on label, cassette compilation, C90, 1989)


 I came across this compilation on some blog which name I can't recall at the moment with desire to post it on Youtube but briefly after posting few tracks, I was advised by Michael that the track index is messed up so with respect to him for sending me the correct tape, the compilation titled Informator 00II can be spread to the world.
The contributing projects with tracks recorded from '84-'89 are 
A: Odvážná Srdce, Tristan 43, Sidonová, Veselí Filištínové, Benedikt, A-64, Trpák, M.I.O.S., Brusičova Parta, Biskup & Klapper, Keilwerth, Maxa
B: Stredni Evropa, Vlajka, Sidonova, Bongo Muž Hlava, Mondrian, A-64, Pastorek, Queuer, Osvobozená Domácnost, Maxa
It was distributed by Corrosive Tapes - Belgian tape label begun circa 1986 run by dr pIOtr AAkOUn.
From May 1987 Piotr got in touch with the czech industrial scene - among them musician Tonda Hlavka who supplied him with tapes for distribution beyond the iron curtain.
The label stopped activity in early 1992.
Several tapes were published later by Slavek Kwi using the Corrosive Tapes moniker.
In 2013 the label got re-activated in collaboration with complasToc (Mathieu Delvaux).

SIEGMAR FRICKE - 1987 (Hahamandad - HA012, C60, 1990 | DIGITAL REMASTER 2014)

Our "disko boy" Siegmar Fricke remastered another old cassette solely for WET DREAMS. (Thank you Siegmar!)
"1987" was recorded on magnetophon with the use of Yamaha keyboard and Yamaha sampler, furthermore, originally released on Hahamandad label held by Dutch Messy and Amanda Man "Amy" in 1987 on C-60. 
Also worth noting is that Hahamandad label has hosted a big tape festival in 1990 in Ternuezen where then-22-year-old Siegmar had his debut which you can see below....

 
You can download this video HERE on official PHARMAKUSTIK Vimeo.

Although the track on the video is dated 1990 (not available on the 1987 tape), it's still important documentation which testifies the gathering of great underground musicians like factor X, Beurk, M.I.Dotan, Bram D, Dva Met Dva Nichts & PDM, Nostalgie Eternelle, From Nursery To Misery, Das Freie Orchester, Marilyn's Army, Grey Wolves, Contact T.B.D., Harald 'Sack' Ziegler, Beequeen, Selfs Without Shells and Dark Star performing and selling their tapes...

Funny or not, I surely couldn't resist moving my feet to the beat! Again!

Sociedades En Tetra Brik & Graphices Artis - INTITULADO (T.B.R. inédit,198?)




A pearl I received few days ago, a collaboration tape, though never issued, between Biel Oliver (SETB) and Miguel Angel Julian (GA). Unfortunately, Biel can not remember accurate year of the cassette, but is confident that it's the end of the eighties.

Jake Meginsky - L'appel Du Vide (Open Mouth - OM37, LP, 2014)





Jake Meginsky
l’appel du vide Open Mouth LP OM37 Subterranean, nearly-inaudible restraint and rushing, stuttering throbbing rule the night on this new record. Its electric moods are so resolutely alien they suggest worlds unknown rather than create them. Irregular heartbeat thumps are set against high end atmospheres explored in microscopic detail. Haunting overlays of tones fluctuate and tremble, and not one moment feels forced. The music is meticulously constructed and consistently surprising, twisting and sparkling. The electronics spin away, shooting off into bizarre and unexpected territory, and all the while Meginsky guides them with a benevolent, confident, endlessly fascinated hand. To hear him tell it, the record is “a document of me looking for the experience I have not yet had, and maybe will never have. This is where the title comes from. The pull of the void.” Natural phenomena like fog or mist tend to render the environment and one’s ability to see it nearly impossible, and if you tilt your head back like you have a nosebleed there is always the fear that the sun might set sooner. When you stop in a secret place there is no need to talk. These are streets full of sullen languid violence and grey phantoms. Edition of 300. Cover art by Bill Nace. Play at 45 and play loud. Matt Krefting Holyoke, MA May 2014



available @ Open Mouth Records

SCH - WHITE MUSIC: Two Ways To German Art & Work Discipline (Slušaj Najglasnije!, cass, 1992)



WHITE MUSIC: Two Ways To German Art & Work Discipline is the third official studio album by SCH (an abbreviation for "Schizophrenia") from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although released in 1992 on the Zagreb independent label Slušaj Najglasnije! (Listen Loudest!) by Zdenko Franjić, the album was produced and recorded during 1990. It was the first harsh-noise album in ex-Yugoslavia. The recording line-up was Teno (guitar/bass/synth/vocals/noises) and Samir Bjelanović (drums).
Sonically, the album depicts what may be best described as the emotive states of those certain living material forms that had survived the total (nuclear) war.
The record is a logical progression and culmination of the sound and "trip" initiated on the SCH tape, and further developed on During Wartime. White Music brings to a close an important phase in the band's life. Following White Music, SCH will shun the theme of war. As ever, the band was a step ahead of the times and there was no need to hang around in "explored" territories. These, the band would leave behind for others, those who watched the band with blank expressions at the time when all this was current and "real" for us."


Borghesia - Live at Novi Rock '83 (unofficial cassette, 1983)


Live at Novi Rock in Ljubljana (Križanke), 1983 is Borghesia's first perfromance.
With guest musicians from Ljubljana: group Marcus 5, bassist Janij Hacete and guitarist Borut K. who play a recorded rhythmic base derived into multimedia performance.

The recordings on the cassette are a bit damaged (Divlja Horda, Pokušaj) but there is no other existing media with the same material.

 Oh, I would love to mention that Abbildungen Variete at the same concert convincingly left everyone speechless doing some weird ritual performance.. Ah, pity, this was never captured. However, there is one  audio documentation of  their "Ishodišče subjekta" track.

Various ‎– Broken Flag: A Retrospective 1982 - 1985 (5 CD's) (Vinyl On Demand 2012)



REPOSICIÓN !!!!

Volvemos a los sonidos más experimentales de la música ndustrial.

Os presento esta caja que incluye cinco compactos-digipacks y un grueso libreto, de la caja de vinilos publicada hace años por Vinyl on Demand (2007). Broken Flag es un influyente sello nacido en 1982 (Gran Bretaña) bajo la influencia de la música Industrial y sobre todo del power electronics de leyendas como Whitehouse. Pronto se convirtió en referencia de estas músicas publicando discos de artistas internacionales. Fundado y dirigido por Gary Mundy (responsable de RAMLEH, grupo recuperado recientemente y en activo), Broken Flag celebró su 30 aniversario reuniendo a un buen numero de grupos y artistas que editó en los ochenta en un festival en Londres (en mayo de este año) que duró tres dias: gente como New Blockaders, Consumer Electronics, Giancarlo Toniutti, e incluso Esplendor Geométrico, que llegaron a publicar un tema en una famosa recopilación del sello (Neuengamme). Esta edición ha coincidido con el festival también como celebración. Los cinco compactos incluyen temas de Maurizio Bianchi, Mauthausen Orchestra, Kleistwahr, Allies, Ramleh, Male Rape Group, Controlled Bleeding, Giancarlo Toniutti, Le Syndicat y Un-Kommuniti. Presentación lujosa y diseño muy cuidado. Imprescindible para todo buen seguidor del mejor noise, power electronics e industrial experimental extremo.

Popošev I Rozenfeld - Pčelica Maja 82 (demo cass, not on label, 1982)




Members: Blaženko 'Karo' Karešin, Antun 'Troga' Trogrlić, Zvonko 'Viki' Slišurić

Minimal-electronic duo/trio from Nova Gradiška (Croatia), active shortly in 1982.

One summer in Nova Gradiška, Karo and Troga, Farfisa organ treated with guitar effects (delay, hall, etc..) and around ten songs... Performance in August '82 as Poposhev and Rosenfeld at the Summer Stage is still remembered as something specialThe day before the show Viki had joined them (called Pnomh Pen) and on the stage, between the songs played by the other two guys, recited verses of poems about Maya, the bee who was 'illustrated' by their music which was actually composed prior texts.

Popošev i Rozenfeld had only one live performance and they were the epitome of minimalist electronics sound of that era, they didn't have the echo of a firstwave minimalwave bands in Yugoslavia at that time known as far to Pozega and Western Slavonia, just like the case of Sat Stoicizmo.

"Ljetna Livada" is also included in Ex Yu Electronica Vol I: Hometaping In Self-Management compilation ‎(Monofonika).

The original cover of Pčelica Maja 82 (Maya the Bee 82) tape is lost so I created one myself.

Radio Diffusor Maracaibo - Radio Diffusor Maracaibo (Corrosive Tapes ‎- C015, c30, 1988)


The project is from Germany and is out on Belgian Corrosive Tapes. I always connect Radio Diffusor Maracaibo with Czech due it's involvement with Czech(oslovakian) projects either as being on Frankfurt/Praha compilation either as collaboration with Odvážná Srdce.
Comes in jewelcase with several B/W xeroxed photographs by Tobias Regenfuss inside.


Thank you, Phillip B. Klingler!

Střední Evropa ‎- Men Instead Of Machines Live! (Black Point - BP-0024-4, cass, 1993)


Live recordings from the great Czech industrial group Střední Evropa, which formed following the dissolution of Veselí Filištínové. They were influenced by Einstürzende Neubauten, Test Department, Laibach, and 23 Skidoo. The drummer played standing and used two bass drums, two snares and two combs in order to approximate the sound of kettledrums. Other instrumentation included two Casio synths with samplers and a guitar. Everything else was just iron - springs from cars, metal, steel pipes, flat and pieces of iron used as a mallet. Their rehearsals took place at the sewage treatment plant where Střední Evropa members had worked and was called "Sračkárna" = “Shithouse," just like the cassette of Veseli Filištínové is titled. 
They were active also as Brusičova Parta, the brass section of Střední Evropa.
Later, Střední Evropa transformed into idustrial metal group M.A.C. of Mad (Maximum allowable concentration of mad) which is active to the present day.
