v.a.-Blindness,Deafness & Brain Damage-(Joukkomurha Worlwide-Finland-c90-199?)

Another compilation by this finnish label,covered in this blog quite few times now.Joukkomurha Worldwide is another name for the most famous Joukkomurha Tapes or JM Tapes.Here an introduction taken from Discogs.I guess this was written by Jupe Luoma,the mind behind this label.

"From the west coast of Finland - the city of Vaasa, to be more precise - rose a small but relentless and heavily networking cassette-only label originally known as Joukkomurha [Engl. Mass Murder or Massacre] Products or Tapes. The title of the label was later watered down to a more neutral-sounding (maybe even a wee bit more) JM-Tapes. The label was originally started just for fun, as a continuation to the creative stream of small press activity. The label was active producing the plethora of cassette-only albums (or alblums, as John Bartles would put it!) and compilations of folk / punk / electronic / aggressive / art music(k) and odd bits of sound all the way from Ohio to Okinawa. The label was in action between 1989 and 1998. In total, there were more than 70 releases during that time of angst, madness and creativity. The label was run by J Luoma, who was acknowledged on the "thanks" list of Reverend Bizarre's debut LP as the "witch of the west"!"
Enjoy it.

v.a.-Nightmare Begins At 6am-(Joukkomurha Prods-c60-1993-Finland)

This cassette was released by Joukkomurha productions in Finland in December 1993. It features quite a lot of unknown bands in the area of experimental music and/or weird sonic feelings. The compilation was assembled thinking about the subject of FEAR. Joukkomurha productions was a very active tape label in the 90s that was very keen to release any kind of weird music with no particular attention to the music genres and scenes. This release came out as a c60 tape and it had: a black & white photocopy cover with the addresses, list of bands involved, and a few other infos(included in this folder). Good muzik by very obscure projects and musicians-Enjoy The FEAR!

SOCKEYE-Rainbow Maxi Pad Hypokinetic Poop-(Joukkomurha Prods-Finland-199?)

I spoke already about Sockeye when I posted the tape Whimsical Butt...
They are active since the end of the 80s and releaed lots of tapes and 7inches.Their very personal lo -fi punk rock is crafted with weird and funny lyrics.
I am not sure if this tape was released by Joukkomurha Prods in Finland or if it was just distributed by this label in Europe.
Enjoy those 40 tunes of weird and lo-fi genius.

I posted already few productions by this Finnish label,I did find now some info on a discogs page and I guess this was written by Jupe Luoma,the founder and headmaster of this label and mail art project:

"From the west coast of Finland - the city of Vaasa, to be more precise - rose a small but relentless and heavily networking cassette-only label originally known as Joukkomurha [Engl. Mass Murder or Massacre] Products or Tapes. The title of the label was later watered down to a more neutral-sounding (maybe even a wee bit more) JM-Tapes.

LORD LITTER-The Place Where Worlds Collide-(1984-1992) [c60 Joukkomurha Productions] + -Space Age- (C60-Audiofile Tapes,Usa-1989)

It is  difficult to write about Lord Litter  because he`s been around for a long time in the european underground scene producing a large amount of tapes+cds, he has been collaborating with  many artists and also he is a very skilled dj involved in few radio stations since long time.
Here his own website where you will find all the useful info about him,his past productions,the collaborations and his  recent activities

Those two tapes are old and are not listed on his webpage.
"The place where worlds collide" is a selection of released and unreleased songs  from 1984 untill 1992,edited and distributed by Joukkomurha Productions in Finland in the mid 90s.
"Space Age" is a cassette released by the legendary Audiofile Tapes (Usa) in 1989.
Both tapes bring us his own personal style of writing and producing music and if one might be close to some  "summer of love" music of the late 60s the other  is instead   near to the space rock of certain low-fi movies in the late 70s.
All in all Lord Litter is  a weird genius of our time passing throu different layers of counter-culture and crossing the borders of time and space to deliver us a creative  and innovative music that  stands on its own.
A must for the lovers of original music.
