CCC CNC NCN-Live Forte Prenestino 1-5-91-(Kontagio Produzioni Tapes-Italy-1991)

A live tape by this amazing dadaist anonymous noise/performance collective from Torino, Italy. Spawning from the anarchic/antagonist underground scene, CCC CNC NCN combines a bombastic old-school industrial sound with conceptual records and live shows about unpopular topics, such as suicide as an extreme choice of freedom, mass control and oppression.

This is their gig on MayDay of 1991 at the fantastic  Forte Prenestino, Kontagio  Produzioni Tapes was the distro active in this squat at the time and releasing mostly live tapes recorded in this massive squat.

Enjoy it.

Muerte En La Industria-Tu Vida-(Speedstate Records-Japan-2005)

Cd-discography by this raw noise punk band from Mexico City active in the mid-80s, they had a short life, only a couple of year and 1 demo recorded yet they left an incredible legacy! 

This cd came out with a good booklet reporting lyrics, pics and an extended biography in English, Japanese and Spanish. 

They reformed in 2017 for the first Punktud Fest in Mexico and played a total of 6 gigs, the last one in October of the same year, a benefit for the people in need after the earthquake that shattered the country 1 month before.

To complete this post I am attaching a pic from this reunion, the t-shirt printed on this occasion and a video live at Punkitud 2017.
A very big thanx and greetings to Nacho for passing me this great cd a few years back and the t-shirt, pics + the updates just 3 months ago. 
Enjoy it.

Annihilate was a magazine mixing industrial music, politics, visual poetries, weird graphics and more experimental messages.

"Annihilate an experimental magazine of mental emotions in contrast to the happy decadent human beings. Denial, liberation from the obsessive post-industrial rhythm, evasion from an image forced by the controlling dynamics of production. "

In this issue, American Indians, SPK: an anti-psychiatric institution, sexual liberation, Trento anti-army, psychiatric creativity, poetries, Manson`s kids, Annihilate Your Head and some visual poetries.

All in all a great magazine full of interesting articles/ideas.

SMERSH-The Part Of The Animal That People Don`t Like-(Dead Man`s Curve-UK-1986)

Smersh was Mike Mangino and Chris Shepard. And from 1981 until 1994 they released far too many cassette tapes. They also contributed to far too many compilations throughout the known world. In the early eighties, they established a unique sound that is known and loved, combining cheap electronics and wild guitar sounds with distorted vocals. They were, in fact, a bit The Ramones of the industrial scene. But were they industrial? The Smersh sound had so many faces that it is next to impossible to categorize their music. Smersh recorded on most Monday evenings for a couple of hours. Each song was improvised over the course of the evening and then recorded. Once it was finished they never played it again. They never rehearsed, they couldn't read music,

 and they never played live.(from their official webpage)

Here a very interesting interview with Mike Mangino conducted by Dmitry Vasilyev in August 2000. 

Electro, industrial label from UK, founded in 1986 by Dave Henderson, who had earlier run the X Tract label. DMC ended when Red Rhino Records distribution collapsed in 1988.

Enjoy it.

Networker Congress T-Shirt-(Mail Art/Graphic Art-Italy-1992)

This is the flyer publicizing the commemorative T-shirt for the Italian Chapter of the Congress conceived by Vittore Baroni with a graphic work by the amazing Gianluca Lerici aka Professor Bad Trip for the  Decentralized World-Wide Networker Congress 1992.

For whoever doesn't know much about this Network Congress held in 1992 in various places in this planet, here few lines:

 

"The Decentralized Networker Congress of 1992, Initially conceived by Networker H.R. Fricker,

and coordinated by Peter W. Kaufman eventually involved over 500 artists from 25 countries and over 250 events. 

The original text is as follows :

Decentralized World-Wide Networker Congress 1992 (NC92)

Where two or more artists/networkers meet in the course of 1992,  a congress will take place
. The Decentralized World-Wide Networker Congress will serve as a

meeting point for all kinds of networkers. The meaning of the common

role as networkers should be the focus of the discussion.

As Networking options have expanded since 1992, and with the variety of media available to us now, we seek to expand this concept, and while honoring Mailart and face to face meeting, we are looking for all kinds of manifestations. Along with H.R. Fricker, the Congresses originator, and our Honorary organizer, we look forward to a re-energizing of these concepts, and expanded interactions within the network.

During the days of November 2, 3, and 4, 2012  Exhibitions will take place in 6 locations, in 6 distinctly different time zones. 

Galleries in Cornwall ( UK ), Odzaci ( Serbia ), Ponte Nossa (Italy), and Roanoke ( USA ) will host these exhibitions as well as serve as Downloading sites and Documentation centers, with abilities to Interact with performing Networkers through Skype and Secondlife.  Performances and activities will be  streamed live from all 6 locations using Bambuser and/or Livestream.  Please send Mailart, documentation of Congresses, texts, collages, rants, postcards, poems, add and pass sheets,  mythologies, videos, slogans, photographs, diaries, artifacts, envelopes, address lists, cassettes..."

NISTRI-FIORI CARONES-Nistri-Fiori Carones-(ADN-Italy-c40-1988)

Amazing collaboration between Vittorio Nistri(keyboards, effects, sampler and Alberto Fiori Carones(guitars) with an extra help on few tracks by Sandro Biagi(saxophone) and Barbara De Stefani(vocals)!

In those 40 minutes, they mix and mash a good dose of experiments touching the no wave, the ambient, the synth-pop and somehow a bit of electro-rock. Definitely a tape with some original music and sounds.

ADN was established in 1983 as the first Italian fanzine for experimental new music published in English, released lots of tapes and some vinyl of industrial/electro/noise until the early 90s and went on a long hiatus.

ADN restarted their activities in 2014, their actual webpage is here.

Enjoy it.

v.a.-IRRRRRE!!!The Best of Irre Tapes 001-015-(Irre Tapes-Germany-c90-1989)

A great sampler taking assorted tracks from the various Irre Tapes released until 1989...the result is a very eclectic compilation with many music styles: new wave, punk, synth-pop, minimal, electro post-punk, experimental electronics and more. 

 Irre Tapes was a German label run by Matthias Lang (2) which evolved out of the IRRE Fanzine he published regularly during the early 1980's covering New Wave, Post Punk and the German Underground. In true DIY spirit, he supported the international network of small labels and fanzines through editing the free IRRE Newsletter to spread info and contacts and writing occasional reviews for various publications. Most of his Compilations should be seen as an attempt to promote lesser-known artists and labels. Without a doubt, he was one of the driving forces of the German Tape Scene.

 This label is been covered in this blog many times, a Discogs page about it is here.

Enjoy it.
