va - Italy - [Harsh Reality Music - 1989]

another astounding release in thee international series ov thee Memphis, Tennessee-based industrial/experimental/electronic label Harsh Reality Music which was run by Chris Phinney [Mental Anguish, Ambient Complot, Cancerous Growth, Mid-Cult Matrix, Skoptzies, Swine Is Mental, Viktimized Karcass].. this time all artists essentially hailed from thee boot-shaped nation ov Italy!! again this cs as well many other fine releases are still available via thee labels' site!! effing great that they keep available such an astonishing back catalog ov sonorous treasures!!

note: due to thee size- this comp was broken into two parts here & here..

Subliminale tis thee projekt ov Gianluigi Russolo who tis also thee creative genius behind such magnificent projekts as Therabaqud Leic, Wellenwerkmann Neurosonological Research Station, and S. Biasin Trio!! also very much worthy ov note tis thee remix which he provided for thee esoteric body music projekt Metal Music Machine!! thee eery piece which he provides here consists ov scathing yet subdued power elektronikx scapes!!

Stefano Barban was behind such effing magnificent esoteric elektronikx projekts as Abra Had Abra, Ambulatorio Segreto, Lvnvs, and Spin Box!! thee piece which he manifests here utilises an odd cacophanous barrage ov dissonant synthesizer werkx..

Teatrino Della Volpe tis thee work ov thee magnificent mad-genius Stefano Biasin!! thee piece "new industrial" which he provides here combines strange loops ov minimal industrial sequencing elements with tribal samplings, odd disco materials, bizarre saxophone wails, out ov place rock segments.. all very disjointed and seemingly spontaneous.. feels like the maximum sample time tis about eight seconds..

Crime O Nautix provide thee piece Rock The Mussolinis Boys which consists ov slowed plodding dissonances with hilarious grimey rocking vocalisations and wierd utterances as thee parodied atrophy ov rock snarlingly progresses!!

Majorana was thee projekt ov Lussetti Guido.. thee first ov his tracks provided here consists ov rhythmic sequences interspersed with sparse somber synthesizer segments and polyphonic drum machine barrages..

"Das Synthetische Mischgewebe [Isabelle Chemin & Guido Hübner] started in the early 80's in Berlin with electronic, industrial, avant-garde associated cassette releases." they appear on both thee Spanish as well as Italian international series.. thee piece which they manifest here consists ov wierd machinic junk-noize-esque disquietudes..

apparent lack ov biography here for Black Flowers.. their sonorism utilizes interesting pulsating synth with quiet rhythm sequencing and reverberating vocal materials which transition later towards a more spaced out and dissonant sort ov elektronikx scape..

Crime O Nautix utilise for their piece some sort ov sitar and tabla filled Indian pop musique over which they incant oddly subsumed vocalisations before eventually transitioning towards a more psychedelically reverberating guitar outro sektion..

Womb are semi-mysterious here- though it tis believed that DeviLs G [Teatro Satanico!!] had his hands at play in thee esoteric sonorism which they manifest.. distant choral samples play amidst indecipherable vocals and a growing unease ov atmosphere looms over whilst skittering elektronikx reverberate amidst synthesizer werkx which make intriguing presences which together increase in their scathingness as thee piece develops further towards a more rhythmic pulsating bombast!!

for thee concluding piece Majorana utilises operatic vocal loops with haphazardous sequencings and thee dissonant tumult ov collage werkx.. odd experimentations..


Track listing:

A1 Subliminale – Thee Vittoz Method
A2 Stefano Barban – Amantide
A3 Teatrino Della Volpe – New Industrial

va - Spain [Harsh Reality Music - 1989]

Nota: dedicado con mucho respeto y admiración a Spain Pain!!

released in 1989 on thee Memphis, Tennessee-based industrial/experimental/electronic label Harsh Reality Music which was run by Chris Phinney [Mental Anguish, Ambient Complot, Cancerous Growth, Mid-Cult Matrix, Skoptzies, Swine Is Mental, Viktimized Karcass] this release was part ov thee label's international series.. though this tis a rip ov an olde cs- this and many other astonishing releases are still kept available from their site!! as thee title may suggest: all artists hailed from Spain..

Merz was thee projekt ov Madrid based artist Luis Mesa who tis listed as contact for all three ov thee projekts on side a here; as well as having been a part ov: Recursos Ajenos, Ambient Complot, & Merzan / Zanmerz!! thee source ov inspiration for thee opening piece should require no introduction for fans ov Tobe Hooper's 1974 horror classic.. thee track consists ov repetitive minimal synth lines with mid-tempo drum sequencing and additional elektronik experimentation..

for thee projekt Tecnica Material; Luis Mesa tis joined by Miguel A. Ruiz [Exhaustor, Funeral Souvenir, Orfeon Gagarin, Ventral Metaphor, Ambulatorio Segreto, Efficient Refineries, Non Sterile]!! thee track which they produce consists ov astonishing concussive rhythmic sequencing filtered in an effing stomping manner which degenerates into much more raucous tumult at it's point ov cessation!!

once more behind thee elektronikx Luis Mesa operates under thee moniker Alquimia Detras in a strange rhythmic experimental piece with what sound to be religiously related sample sources- a child's prayer and miscelaneous radio evangelists..

providing the entire second side ov thee cassette are Das Synthetische Mischgewebe who were comprised ov members Isabelle Chemin & Guido Hübner!! their back catalog ov releases tis tremendous.. thee piece abandons thee rhythmic sequencing which manifested so heavilly upon thee first side in favor ov a much more cacophanous onslaught ov dissonant experimentation..

Track listing:

A1 Merz – Texas Chainsaw Massacre
A2 Tecnica Material – Adsorcion
A3 Alquimia Detras – Religiones
B1 Das Synthetische Mischgewebe – The Eternal Professional Error At Auto-Reverse

v.a.-TOPY TV-tribute to PTV(topy tv-italy-c60-1990)

thee extrication ov thee heirophanous wisdom hidden behind these sonorous sigils tis a burdensome act in and ov itself.. to attempt to give voice to what tis spoken so profoundly in it's own words runs thee risk ov tearing asunder thee magickal tapestry which has been woven.. some gleanings ov what tis apprehendible ov thee Italian branch ov TOPY tis better articulated here.. have yet to read THEE PSYCHICK BIBLE to know if it may offer more incites, and sadly have stored away deep in hidden archives TOPY Italy RsB Files.. perchance these shall see dark illumination here at some point.. what tis most readilly apparent tis that thee artists behind this compilation forced thee hand ov chance towards renditions ov hymns ov thee TOPY high priests Psychic Television!! whilst the cover scan tis not likely thee be(a)st edition out there- it tis divined that most out there shall still revel in these ecstasic homages unveiled within!!

Thee Temple Beat tis a variation ov thee moniker for thee projekt Templebeat which tis composed ov thee artists: Michele Benetello, Pietro Zanetti [Metal Music Machine!!], Giorgio Ricci [RAN, Hysterie, Metal Music Machine!!], Paolo Favati [Die Larm, FM and Paolo F., Pankow, Saint Luka, Wave Workers Foundation..], and Rudi Dalla Mora [Metal Music Machine!!] who hail from Treviso, Italy!! their contribution tis an esoteric body music rendition ov the PTV classic Ov Power!!

it would appear info tis lacking for The Conventional.. though info for Frigidaire Tango tis more accessible.. their cover ov Just Drifting seems slightly more morose and definitely more heavilly accented and rock orientated..

Umano Troppo Umano - named for Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche 's Human All Too Human are absent ov biography here- thee peice which they provide here tis a slow dark dissonant variation ov Terminus with Italian vocals!!

Disuman Res was thee projekt ov Guglielmo Lanzilli who ran thee astonishing label Biotope Art Organization!! the piece Fear which he provides here consists ov his astounding patented darkened sound collage with plodding dissonant bass and murky magnetised crystalline atmospheres!!

Solar Lodge consisted ov occult sound artists Fulvio Biondo & Enrico Angarano!! their piece manifests in deliriously detuning synthesizer dissonances with minimal drum sequencing to thee tune ov Those Who Do Not..

thee assumption tis being made here that R. Biasin Acid Vampire tis a pseudonomynous nomenclature ov Stefano Biasin [Teatrino Della Volpe, S. Biasin Trio]!! thee piece consists ov some effing magnificent esoteric tekno in thee vein ov Towards Thee Infinite Beat- Drone Zone!!

"Therabaqud Leic is the name of an Italian experimental who has been involved with such forms as industrial, ambient, esoterick, drones, ritual, dark ambient, moody electronics, in a cross-genre . Luigi Russolo (a nickname reminding the famous Italian futurist artist ) is the main founder and core member. The band has never had a regular , real line-up, only Luigi Russolo is the core member." thee variation provided here ov Catalan consists ov excellent layers ov restrained percussion accompanied by astounding synthesizer atmospheres, and plodding distorted elektronik string looping with Italian vocal recitations!!

with a moniker like Jesus Fucks Magdalene - one must ponder how such a projekt has tragically fallen into such obscurity.. however occult ov origins and narrative there may be to this projekt- what tis apparent tis that they do an uber-funky and angsty variation ov Oedipus In The Nursery!!

thee personage behind thee projekt Majorana would appear to be one Lussetti Guido.. thee peice here Neurology seems to be a collage ov recordings ov thee Message From The Temple intercut with Charles Manson and Jim Jones amongst others.. throw in some looming synths and additional elektronikx and thee title appears to generate some pondering ov it's own..

elsewhere it tis written that Nekrophilia was Devil Womb aka DeviLs g. [Lvnvs, S. Biasin Trio, Teatro Satanico,..] & Saprophita [?]!! thee piece provided here Skinhead Moonstomp tis a cacopahnous conflagration ov colliding elekronik concussiveness with looming delayed guitar presences!!

Track listing-

a01-THEE TEMPLE BEAT-ov power
a02-THE CONVENTIONAL(ex Frigidaire Tango)-just drfting
a03-UMANO TROPPO UMANO-terminus

M.NOMIZED-& MR MOTO-At dusk (Bawler prods-Germany-C60-1995)

Another little gem on cassette here dated from 1995. We have spoken already about M.Nomized and also about Mr Moto; here additionally are a few quick hints about them: M . Nomized aka Michael Madrange - owner of the Fraction Studios which were very active in the 90s. As a musician (M. NOMIZED, THE GOLOZOS, DHISMA), music producer, zine editor, sound composer for art exhibitions, and mail artist. Mr Moto is Matthias Lang- zine editor(IRRE ZINE) and tape label boss(IRRE TAPES).

So what to expect from two such names???... Beautiful and creative electronic experimentations which were quite new for that time. Some stuff kind of reminds me in ways of the early experiments in rhythmic noise, other material is definetly more hypnotic, the sound texture collage of effects, distorted electronics, frazzled noises, and weird goings make this tape a little jewel for the lovers of spazzed out electronics. The tape came with a Spartan cover, a carton box in which the tape is kind of stuck, and yes please, don`t ask me how many copies were printed back in those days. Excellent stuff for elastic ears.

Track listing:

a01-dyslexia stars
a02-ebullient sounds
a03-intact
a04-nether planets
a05-nook of brain
a06-ogle girls
a07-wet
b01-at dusk(part 1 to 5)

v.a.-the crazy side of irre tapes-(c60-irre tapes,germany-1990)

"IRRE TAPES was a German label run by Matthias Lang which evolved out of the IRRE Fanzine he published regularly during the early 1980's covering New Wave, Post Punk and the German Underground.
With his 3rd Tape Compilation Ein Herz In Not he started IRRE Tapes which was mainly active in the late 80s/early 90s and released material by the likes of Brume, Maeror Tri and City Of Worms and loads of lesser known and stylistic different artists (Unpleasant Surprise, Fuckedtones, The, Magic Moments At Twilight Time, Doc Wör Mirran) covering the whole range of the Independent Underground from Experimental Electronica to Guitar Pop.
In true DIY spirit he supported the international network of small labels and fanzines through editing the free IRRE Newsletter to spread infos and contacts and writing occasionally reviews for various publications. Most of his Compilations should be seen as an attempt to promote lesser known artists and labels. Without doubt he was one of the driving forces of the German Tape Scene.
He finally called the label days quits in 1994/1995 but soon re-appeared as collaborating and networking artist Mr. Moto.

Note:
All of the releases where copied on demand and continously numbered but only a few had an explicit Limited Edition."(from Discogs)

This tape is a collection of different weird songs and artists released previoulsly on this label-different styles and different names all united by the weirdness aka the craziness of their music. You will find here: noize, industrial, electro pop, hypno electro, ambient noise, and more... It looks like Ebu`s Music which was established in 1988 & run by Carsten Olbrich aka Mr. Ebu reissued this tape compilation as a retrospective of "the crazy side of irre tapes", and yeah the cover-sleeve is just fantastic.

Track listing:

Josef Boys – Doors Open And In
Cephalic Index Nomuzic – My Baby Went Splat
Terrorplan – Industrial Anarchy
Delta-Sleep-Inducing Peptide – 2-3-4-6
Gregorian George – Go Hug A Tree Today
Poison Dwarfs – Cut
Die Rache – Erstschlag
Ditto – Bells
City Of Worms – Volpet
Doc Wör Mirran – Rambo's Little Penis
No Unauthorized – Rambo Is Not A Communist..Oh No
Moisten Before Use – Frustration
M. Nomized – Atomique Et Cercle (Extract)

PIUME E SANGUE-I Corpi 68.20.38(c46-Italy-Semiotexterie Prods-1989)

A rather obscure tape here today… Piume e Sangue is a very old project coming from Italy. This tape is in fact dated 1989, and it came out on the amazing label Semiotexterie. I am afraid that I have little information about this tape- other than that the artists behind it are listed as Paolo S. & Gi Jaw. I could not find anything on the net; so if anybody out there knows more; then please send us more info into the comments section of this blog.
The very first track of this tape reminds me of Dario Argento`s films soundtracks mixed with some dark ambient and some noise industrial; while the rest of the songs are just a great example of pure esoteric sonorism… I guess the followers of this blog will not be disappointed with this rare tape-production. Enjoy it then…
