v.a.-TITS-(Joukkomurha Prods-Finland-c90-199?)

This tape is a documentation of a Mail Art project.Artists included:Etat Des Stocks,Okaniwa Fuhimiro,Welcome,Sockeye,Hex Minora,DAs Kombinat,Danielle Black,M.Nomized,J.Upton,Target Shoppers VS Tea Kulture,Boy in Love,Sportcreme,Sound Inhaler.
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. 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"!"

Sublabel JM-Tapes

EPA NYYRO-Rock`n`Roll Years 1981-1991-(Joukkohourma Prods-Finland-c90-1992)

28 songs on this long c90 exploring 10 years of  life of this unknown band from Finland.The title of the cassette talk about Rock`n`Roll : It is definitely a little joke,in fact the music here it  is a sick form of weird experiments with normal instruments played in a funny yet chaotic way.On the top of it you`ll get screams yelled with  deranged vocals,and it`is only a pity that every song is sung in Finnish language,so I have no idea what are the subjects of those crazy songs.Every now and again their music change for something a bit more conventional but the change last very short time.
Beside having few little troubles trying to explain you the music of this project or band and knowing that they were active in the 80s in Finland,Epa Nyyro remains a mystery to me:
Anybody with more info about them out there???

Joukkomurha Prods(Engl. Mass Murder or Massacre) was a small label managed by Jupe Luoma in Vaasa(Finland).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 and it was active producing the plethora of cassette-only albums (or albums, 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.It was in action between 1989 and 1998. In total, there were more than 70 releases during that time of angst, madness and creativity,and yes there are lot of other releases by this label on this blog...
Enjoy it.

For some stuff Steve Andrews reminds me Lord Litter although with less genius aura!
Joukkomurha-Productions was a small label active in the 90s and managed by Jupe Luoma in Finland.
A very good tape-work for deviated new age hippies on wrong pathways to the inner lights...
