ORIGAMI REPLIKA-Ka/Skader-Tracks & Traumas From The Replika Tapes 96-91-( Jazzassin Records+Major Ego Produkt-Norway-1996)

Origami Replika was started by Boe in 1992, the first release being an unplayable scratched 7" with a 23-minute cassette, and other tapes soon to follow. In -94 Boe presented the Origami Replika short movie "how to blow up anything in ten easy lessons" with live soundtrack by him with members of Red Harvest and Dunkelheit. In -95 Kjell Braaten and Boe did a gig, including a live remix of Swans' "Soundtracks for the blind" album before it was released. Boe continued to make a shitload of cassettes, including splits with several international activists on the noise scene.

In -96 Lasse Marhaug appeared for the first time and helped Boe master the best of the cassettes onto a cd entitled "Ka/skader". They continued to do a lot of records, cassettes and broken objects. The most known might be the CDs of Merzbow and Kapotte Muziek remixes. The whole thing culminated in two month-long tours in -97 and -98, effectively ending by Marhaug going to see Spice Girls, and Boe went to see Bob Dylan.

Origami Replika was then already taken over and ruined by Per Olav Jørgensen (aka Major Ego) and partly Judge Replika, stealing all their stuff and putting the SchMerzPønkDaDa suffix on everything the REAL replikans did. This issue has never been solved but generated a lot of confusing media attention, resulted in a cd that was published as a 7", an LP, several CDRs and tons of cassettes and compilation entries.

Marhaug quit, Boe, did one last job with Kai Kobi Mikalsen supporting Merzbow in -98 with a folk flute and cassette cover crushing ritual. The last of the old gigs starred Kim Xmazz who chopped headset cables and smashed a ghetto-blaster with an axe in a Madonna remix he did with Boe on national broadcasting. In addition to singing in his own band Nomad Nipples, Mr Xmazz did vocal performances with Lasse Marhaug Band and I quit ! in those days, and has later starred with Boe in various cameos, Boe made a lathe cut 7" and a cd as "The Nordic Miracle" with Marhaug.

The Origami Replika name was bought by John Hegre of Jazzkammer in 2000, thus they are not allowed to perform or publish anywhere in Norway the continent. Most important; they are back as a trio, with their performance "15 minutes of flame", based on ignorant cut-upping of old material, and new wonderful songs.

(When asked about a web page, Kim Xmazz commented: "Origami Replika can not breathe within the confines of the internet".)from their official webpage.

 Jazzassin Records was started in 1996 and ended in 2002. Never intended as a "proper" label, but more as a playground for whatever sounds and in whatever packaging I desired to put out. Some of the releases remain available, although most in low quantities. There will be no repressings once sold out (unless someone wishes to reissue anything).

LIFE...BUT HOW TO LIVE IT?-Day By Day-(Konkurrel-The Netherlands-1990)

The band was formed in the summer of 1988. The members all frequented Blitz, a squatted building in the middle of Oslo, where many other notable Norwegian hardcore bands such as So Much Hate and Stengte Dører had their base in the late eighties. LBHTLI toured extensively, near 300 concerts in fifteen countries in the five years they kept together and managed to release a live album on Your Choice Records, produced by Tobby Holzinger. They split up in 1994, but have played three concerts later, one in 2002 celebrating Blitz' 20th anniversary, and two in 2008.(from discogs)

A great album:amazing guitar riffs,astonishing voice,personal and touching lyrics,kick-ass tunes and much more...

We should call this record a masterpiece.

I saw them playing live back in 1990 and they were just explosive.Incredible show.

Enjoy it.

This is one of the very first shows Punishment Park ever did as a band. It was support for the band Stage Dolls in 1991. The show took place in Oshallen in Osøyro south of Bergen in Norway. The band played songs from their now legendary self-title first album which was released in august 1991. This is a very rare recording of the band from that period. And it has been a secret up till now (even for the band) that someone did record this show back then. The line up: Kjell - guitar, Claes - bass, Pez - drums, Anja - vocals. Enjoy Punishment Park live from 1991.

EINSTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN-Oslo 1980-(bootleg/cdr-Norway-1980)

An old recording on tape transferred on cd by anonymous.This was very probably a bootleg captured with a walkman tape recorder at this gig in Oslo(Norway)during their 1980 tour.

The recording is therefore a bit messy but as overall not even that bad.

I guess Einsturzende Neubauten needs no introduction nowadays.

Enjoy it.

v.a.-WATCHING SATAN -the legacy of Charles Manson- (c90-Hypertonia World Enterprises,Norway-1993)

Great and weird compilation tape dedicated to the music and the words of Charles Manson.
A c90 full of unknown bands re-making  the music of Charles Manson in an odd and personal way,almost all the tracks are followed or anticipated by cut ups of interviews of the very famous convicted.
Sinister Attraction,Seedjoy,Abrahadabra,Neirher Neither World,Zbz,Las Animas,Dr. Maya,Anus Presley,The Apostoles,Anton Balsam,Kevyn Dymond and few more are the artists whom took part in this eclectic and creative tribute to the music of this very acclaimed anti-hero of the hippy generation.

About the label that released this compilation, here you find an interview with JR Bruun(master mind of this label)published on The living Archive of Underground Music by Don Campau.I`ve found  it very interesting.
For the lovers of the international home taping pop artists of the underground world.
