v.a.-SCHIZOPHOBIA-(Interrupt Product-c90-Holland-1989)

Another obscure compilation covering some acts from the international industrial scene of the 80s. It does contain quite a few very psychotic tracks by some kind of deranged yet genial artists. 

Interrupt Product was a small tape label from Holland active during the 80s, it has a sublabel called Non-Interrupt, a sub-label that seems to be still active nowadays.

In this astonishing sampler, we`ll find many good tracks raging from the noise, the old school industrial, the electro, the esoteric electronics and a few rather difficult melodies (or anti-melodies) to absorb.

Enjoy it.

POLIDRICO-Primera Muestra-(Korm Plastics-Holland-1984)

Polidrico is the name chosen by the Spanish artist José Manuel Vázquez, this is his first tape-work and it seems that came out on the Spanish label Obreros Del Sonido and then reissued by the Dutch Korm Plastics on the same year. 

His music is a mix of experimental electronics touching the old school industrial, some drone and atonal concrete music.

There are no info in the handmade cover sleeve and no song titles either.

Definitely, a tape that will make happy people into a certain old type of unsound experiments and difficult music. 

Enjoy it.

v.a.-Insanités-(Korm Plastics-c46-Holland-1984)

This amazing sampler was released twice as tape in 1984 and once as CD-R in 1992. 
It is the "Best Of..." of an old label called Insane Music. 

The artists and the tracks are an exquisite example of early industrial and electronic music.

Korm Plastics was a Dutch experimental label founded in 1984 by Frans de Waard. In 1992 the label began operating as a part of Staalplaat, but this relationship ceased in 2003.

A great compilation for people into old school industrial.

Enjoy it.

OH` DEV-Don`t Push-(Eksakt Records-Holland-1986)

According to band members, the name comes from a populist 50ties Hollywood movie. The female ‘sexbomb’ drops the line “oh’ dev”.
Oh’Dev basic line up was Ruud – drums, Andre (Meer Staal) – guitar and Dirk – Bas. It could be that Dirk was not always in the band, but he played on the Limbabwe recordings. The vocalist could change. In the downloads below two different vocalists are mentioned: Harry (also guitar) and Hans.
The music is a kind of ‘noise-rock’ strongly influenced by Sonic Youth, Scratch Acid and such. Mostly I like bands in the style a-la Oh’Dev, but somehow I never seem to be able to listen through a full release of them. After two songs it starts to bore me and I lose interest. Andre’s guitar playing is based on no skills (he cannot play for real). Although creative in Meer Staal with percussion and vocals, on the guitar he seems to be limited and the noise becomes an assembled repeating structure that loses attention after 5 minutes. A funny anecdote to this is that Andre called himself after the guitar he played: ‘King Zolo’. A cheap piece of crap dumped by Sonic Youth.
Both vocalists didn’t manage to capture the listeners either.
Oh’Dev tried to ‘make’ it. They took every gig offered. Manage to do a few shows abroad and released more records on other, lesser underground than Limbabwe, indie labels. Despite what members try to make us believe nowadays, they never achieved a status in fame and creativity like some other Limbabwe bands (Meer Staal, Pandemonium,….). None of their releases sold for real. The band float(s) well on smooth bizznix talk from the drummer.

This introduction was taken from Limbabwe Official Webpage 

where you`ll find 2 other productions as a free download by this great band released on Limbabwe Records.

"Don`t Push" was instead released on the Dutch label Eksakt.  
Defunct label from Tilburg, The Netherlands that ceased to exist in 1990.
Enjoy it.

13 tracks of raw HC punk sung in English, the recording is kind of low-fi yet it suits very well their songs.

"Korm Plastics is not really a new label; in fact, it's quite ancient... Korm Plastics started life in 1984 as a cassette-label. In 1992 Korm Plastics released its first compact disc and quickly after that, Korm Plastics became linked with Staalplaat records. Until early 2003 Korm Plastics was part of Staalplaat in various guises and various projects — read more about this in the 'history' part of this website.

As my desire to release music I personally care for became stronger and stronger, I decided in early 2003 that it was time to stand on my own two feet. Korm Plastics goes underground again. I am no longer interested in being a real businessman. There is no schedule, no plan — just ideas and desires. Please do not send me demos of your music — I simply don't have the money nor the time to work on them. I only wish to work with people who I know personally and whose work I like.
The major project is going to be a series of re-issues from The Hafler Trio. All works that are long unavailable.Besides it, I, release music that I like. Simple as that."

MAUSER FK-The Movie-(Vögelspin Records-Holland-1994)

A fantastic album by this great jazzcore band from Holland active in the early 90s.I spoke about them when I posted their great cassette: White Man`s Overbite which they self-released in 1992.

This album instead came out on Vögelspin Records: Dutch punk label, founded in 1979 by Nitwitz to release their first record Nitwitz - Nitwitz on their own label. Located in Amsterdam, The Netherlands (Holland).

Here few info from Jazzcore74 Youtube Channel:

 Yet another great band from the Netherlands (Amsterdam) that was directly influenced by Victims Family (like Jam Jar or BEP) and that released this one and only album, a jewel in Jazzcore to make it simple. They played around Europe in the 1993-96 years, even had tour dates in France with Victims Family and one can feel other slight touches in the likes of NoMeansNo or Rhythm Pigs and more when listening to their wicked tunes. We're talking Hit-Tunes here, of course. Line-up: Vocals: Hank. Bass-vocals: Dick. Guitar: Joeri. Drums: Marcel (aka Marzel ex-BGK, Nitwitz and now playing in Norton) 

Enjoy it.

DE FABRIEK-Gold-(Self Released-Holland-C10-1980)

De Fabriek (The Factory) hails from the Dutch City of Zwolle and originally founded by Richard van Dellen and Andries D. Eker at the end of the seventies. Now the persons are Richard van Dellen, Louise Nanuru van Dellen (his wife) and Klaas Mons. Not considering themselves a regular band (for one thing, they are a label too) they present The Factory as some sort of workmen-union, and the musicians they work with as laborers. Music is created through workman tools and machinery. Throughout years they were recording with the likes of Solenoid (2), O.R.D.U.C., Technological Aquiver, Brume, Vivenza, Klinik, and Gen Ken Montgomery.(from Discogs)

This is their second cassette with 4 tracks of bizarre electronic spazzed out tunes. Their Bandcamp page is here where you`ll find tons of remixes.

Here it organized concerts, partially released on tape in the NL-Documentatieserie series, which are denoted by the ST 00X catalog numbers. The letters ST come from Staaltape, as the label was called back then.
