v.a-‎SADOMACHINISM-(Misanthropic Agenda-USA-1999)‎

Great compilation assembling an astonishing number of powerful tunes by a bunch of fantastic artists playing noise, industrial, abstract and more weird electronics goings.
It was released in a limited edition of 500 copies in elaborate metal packaging. Aluminium shell sometimes embossed with the album title, sometimes not, it is sold out now.

 The American Misanthropic Agenda Experimental label was created in 1998 by the noise artist known as Gerritt. This amazing label is still alive and kicking and you can visit their well-done webpage here, where you can check their latest releases, catalogue and news.

Enjoy it.

TELEPHERIQUE-Sound Object-(Ant-Zen-c46-Germany-1993)

The project Telepherique began in 1989 with the intention to explore processes and working with people of different cultures. They started with mail-art projects, co-operation, and communication with people all over the world. Basically, Telepherique is Klaus, Danijela and Rene Jochim, from Würzburg, Germany, but there were others that became members of Telepherique, because of the massive collaborations and projects: Ulf Harr, Echart Seilacher, Harry Lüftl, Stefan Au, Stefan Alt and Karin... The name Telepherique is the French word for the funicular railway. This name was chosen because of the intention of gaining a view from a higher level.

Ant-Zen is deduced from "Anti Zensur" (= anti-censorship).
Ant-Zen is the most important label in the newer German Industrial scene. It started in the early 90s as a tape label that later also released vinyl and CDs. Mastermind S.Alt (Stefan Alt) also did most of the layouts and packaging of the releases. While the earlier releases are more into noise, the new output has a more technoid style that is still very experimental.
Ant-Zen was the German distributor of a lot of other labels and ran a small mailorder until 2019 when they discontinued putting out physical releases and switched to all-digital.

P16.D4 & Swimming Behavior Of The Human Infant–Nichts Niemand Nirgends Nie! -(Double Vinyl-Selektion-Germany-1986)

P16D4 was a German band whose music bordered on the industrial and on the cacophonous. On their debut album "Kühe In 1/2 Trauer" (Selektion, 1982) they managed to fuse the playful irrationality of dadaism and the oppressive tones of expressionism. Roger Schönauer and Ewald Weber focused on an austere art and technique of loop and tape manipulation. Stefan E. Schmidt joined the ensemble on Distruct (Selektion,1984), a deconstructed remix of sound sources provided by friends in the industrial scene. The double album Nichts Niemand Nirgends Nie (1985) delved into musique concrete and electronic improvisation. Tionchor (Sonoris, 1987) collects revised rarities.

Swimmign Behaviour Of The Human Infant is Achim Wollscheid a media artist whose work over the past 20 years has been at the forefront of experimental music. He has performed and presented installation projects internationally. His work in sound has led to an interest in the relation between sound, light and architectural space, which he pursues through public, interactive and electronic projects. He is a founding member of SELEKTION, an organisation for the production and distribution of information systems. His book, The Terrorized Term, was published by SELEKTION in 1999. Today he still works as an artist for light and sound installations in Frankfurt/Main.(info from Discogs)

German label (Frankfurt-based) for mainly experimental music and musique concrete. Evolved out of the art-punk-label "Wahrnehmungen", which ran in 1980-1981. Many electronic releases of various kinds. Run by Achim Wollscheid and Ralf Wehowsky.Their actual webpage is here.

AUBE-Reflux-(Bawler Productions-c30-Germany-1995)

Real Name:中嶋昭文 (Nakajima Akifumi)

Profile: Aube was the solo project of Akifumi Nakajima (January 13, 1959, in Kyoto, Japan – September 25, 2013), begun in 1991. Taking a minimalist approach for his recordings, Nakajima used simple source sounds which were fed into his system, then heavily processed into a vast dimensional landscape of sonic textures. Source sounds ranged from the organic sounds of gurgling water to isolating elements of technology, such as the curious hum of luminous lamps. The result is a mixture of controlled manipulation and beautiful accident. In May 1992, Nakajima started G.R.O.S.S. - his own cassette label dedicated to releasing experimental music, and noise, in addition to his own recordings as Aube. He worked on recordings with artists from Japan, Europe, and the United States in various different capacities and designed packaging for many other releases.

Bawler Productions was a small  Noise / Experimental label from Germany run by Thomas Gith.

ZOOPHYTE-Zoophyte-(Matching Head-UK-c90-199?)

Another astonishing long cassete by this great project playing a very strange form of dronish abstract music.Last year I posted a great tape by Zoophyte,here that post.

Also this tape deliver to us magical sounds of destructions,collapsed realities and ambient sonic planets crushing into each others with some rhythms alternating upside down.

It was relased by the amazing Matching Head managed by Lee Stokoe.
A magnificent cassette of derenged noisy passages.
Enjoy it.

v.a.-NOISENET -Vol.1- (Noise-2 x c60-Taiwan-1995)

Amazing  compilation tape released by Noize label in Taiwan in 1995 as a double cassette C60 and a nice booklet,all coming in special folder made of silver hardpaper. Lots of bands took part in this project: Hex Minora, Bastard Noise, Synapscape, Cock ESP ,Herb Mullin, Stigma and many more. This compilation covers the sound area of abstract -ambient ,noise, and experimental electronic music of the mid 90s.

It is a very fine production coming with a booklet filled with graphix/pictures and info about the bands involved .

 I have no idea how many copies were printed by this label.

 It does not seem to be an easy production to find now.

Enjoy it.
