M.NOMIZED & DAY OF THE DEAD-Le Dragon Rouge-(Kadath-Portugal-c60-1997)

I have alredy posted lots of tapes by M. Nomized,:Multi-talented artist from Paris, France: musician, composer, painter and founder of Fraction Studio. Very prolific and still very active you`ll find tons of info on the net about him.
In this well crafted cassette He joins forces with the bass player Eric Saive (aka Day Of The Dead) to create amazing bass propelled tracks of incredible  experimental ambient dub.
With a very good recording They blow us in a different dimension of  drones acid bass lines and  dreamish passages.
As I didn`t had the cover sleeve of this tape I did ask Michael for it,in fact we are still in touch.A very big thanx to M.Nomized  for providing the cover sleeve and to give me permission to post this little gem.
Kadath was a Portuguese tape label based in Coimbra and run by Nuno Loureiro :the first tape was released in 1995, the label produced noise, experimental and industrial artists. 
A great tape work for the lovers of  suicidal dubtronic electro madness. 
This is one of my favourite.
Enjoy it.

M.NOMIZED-Voyage-(Raippa Records-Finland-c60-1995)

Here a tape by M. Nomized.
 A very talented and prolific multi-media artist active in the underground cassette label scene since the end of the 70s.
I  wrote already about him and all his activities when I posted 2 tapes by The Golozos,here if you want to check that post and read more about him,yes there is a lot to read...
Raippa Records was a small tape label from Finland active in the 90s and I cannot find any more info about it,I guess it is not active any longer.
A good tape of "minimal electro-pop"(??) experiments!

THE GOLOZOS-golozeries (c90-Fraction Studios-France-1994) + the story 3 (c60-Fraction studios-France-1994)

The Golozos is a trio formed by Michael Madrange aka M.Nomized: Multi-talented artist from Paris, France: musician, composer, painter, puppeteer.
Joining the contemporary music scene in 1975, he worked with various groups, opening up on stage for artists such as Claude Nougaro and Bernard Lavilliers.
Got involved with Indian raga and formed his own group "Dhismâ" which marked the beginning of his study of repetitive music. In 1983, he created Fraction Studio, a label dedicated to promoting and distributing musical forms without distinction, including minimalist and electro-acoustic. Since then, over 90 Cassettes/CD's under his own name or in collaboration with other artists have been produced on different independent labels around the world. Working on a concept of images and music, he continues to compose "sound environments" for art exhibitions (ex. Oslo, New York), to make new albums and to pursue his interest in the Mail-Art movement.(from Discogs)

Here two tapes Michael sent me back in 94,and here a link he sent me few days ago:the golozos
Somehow their music reminds something of The Residents.Quite difficult to describe,it`s very personal and experimental...
Those two tapes are not indexed.
Definitely a must for the lovers of the beautiful and the weird.
