This is the last post about E.A. on this blog. Now all the E.A. productions are here. I spoke already on this blog about this kind of “ghost collective” active in the 90s in southern Italy. Ghost because its members were not even aware of the collective itself; in fact they never even had a meeting about their activities or ideas. Ghost because the name was always changing keeping only the initials. Ghost because the aims and the ideas were changing at all times. Ghost because everybody could have been part of it. Ghost because E.A. liked spirits, evils, weird creatures,non-sense souls…
Eiaculazione Amusicale- (tape work –diy-1990) [unreleased-untitled]
This is the very first cassette by E.A. Some of these recordings were done by a few friends in a couple of discharges back in 1989!! Some others were just experiments with a 4-track recorder with no ideas behind them. A non-sense creativity flow.
Nobody knows why this tape was never eventually released. Maybe it was because it was never meant to be a proper release, but just a fun experiment. Some of those songs were then used for other tape-works, or as re-works for other songs. Most were sent as contributions for compilation tapes later in the 90s. I included in this folder the last zine assembled by E.A. I translated the presentation of this fanzine into English. I assembled in this folder 2 unreleased or almost unreleased E.A. productions that came out at different times.. For this musical project E.A. means Non-musical Ejaculation. For the graphix project E.A. stands for Estasi Acida=Acid Ecstasy.

Estasi Acida- pornohorrors (BV tapes-UK-c60-1994)
This tape was released in 1994 by BV tapes in England. It came out with a small booklet (A5 size) with copy art works inspired by the subject of the title. Most of them were copy-art works that were also used for a few mail art projects, or as contributions to a few graphix zines. Also the tape was wrapped in “blood red” medical gauze, closed with a pin. Pictures included here.
The inspirational themes for this tape were ”pornography” thought as a lustful pleasure and “horrors” thought as fear/pain/suffering.
The music is a weird attempt to put together sound-collage, field recordings, percussions, and more random noises. A strange trip into the realm of torture and pain and pleasure/orgasms. For this project E.A. means Acid Ecstasy.

Enjoy Anarchy-L.W.O.-split tape (c90 Destroy All Music label-1998)[unreleased]
This tape was supposed to be released on the Destroy All Music label in 1998 as a split with London Whore Orchestra. It is an experiment consisting of both jam sessions and cut-ups. At the time we just made a very basic cover sleeve because the real cover had to be done by the people from Destroy All Music. What we know is that Raff sent the master tape to this label, but he never got a reply. Most likely the master tape got lost in the mail, and due to the various trips of RAFF this tape was just forgotten. Here you`ll find the picture of the basic cover that LWO made for this tape. Also this is the only time during the 90s that the two initials were meant as an English name. For this project E.A. stands for Enjoy Anarchy.
No Track listing.
Etica Ascetica-10 years anniversay tape-the worst of(c90-1000+1 Tilt label-Greece-1999)
This tape is just a “best of”. In order to celebrate 10 years of activities RAFF asked his friend Jason of 1000+1 Tilt label in Athens to release a tape with some of the best songs and a little booklet. About this label: it is still active and you can check out online its webpage: www.tiltrecordings.org. The tracks are taken from the previous E.A. tapes released both on Contaminated Prods and on other tape labels as well. I have no idea how many copies Jason made of this tape. It is not available anymore. For this project E.A. means Ascetic Ethics.
