JEWELS OF SHAME - Negative Dialects - (Wormhole World-UK-2019)


 Ever since childhood, Jewels Of Shame has been fond of machinery noises. When he was a child his dad used to take him to the factory where he worked, and JOS would sneak in engine rooms and fall asleep to the pounding sound of the machines. As he was growing up he started falling asleep to the sounds of black metal, sludge, and industrial/noise giants such as Merzbow, Maurizio Bianchi, and Throbbing Gristle. So when he first acquired a PC, he thought he might as well try out make his own sleepy music. He started making field recordings on a cheap dictaphone and of the train station, bar air conditioners, and of the basement of the Physics and Engineering departments of the university in his hometown, which he mixed on the easiest-to-use sound programs with samples from video games and accidentally conceived loops. He gradually started adding recordings of barrel banging, breathing in the microphone, meowing neighborhood cats, and later instruments, such as the guitar, accordion, piano, flute, and other ones. Being a bit of a socially awkward guy, he never published any of these tracks, apart from playing them to his punk friends, and he eventually ceased his bedroom ambient/drone/noise career in 2009, as work and studying obligations prevailed. Nobody can tell for sure what got into him and he decided to send Wormhole World his private recordings ten years later. Hopefully, he will not dig out of his vault more jewels of shame

POST PRANDIALS - Learning By Osmosis-(Umbababayee Records-UK-c90-199?)


 Post Prandials  was a trio from Brooklyn, NYC playing a weird yet nice form of improvisation touching the free jazz, some avant-gard and abstract music,at times very experimental.

This album is a full 90 minutes cassette exploring sounds and noises as well as some sonic deranged jingles.

Enjoy it.

MOLAR-The Time And The Motion Studies-(False Walls-USA-2004)

10 tracks of experimental electronics on this CD by this project  formed by:

Some avant-garde mixed with ambient and a few rhythms here and there with evanescent noises blending more weird electro-goings. 
I might not be able to describe these strange tunes yet this CD will make happy the lovers of certain rather obscure electronic voyages.
I haven`t got much into about this American label yet Molar`s music is somehow very enjoyable.

Archbishop Kebab -Beyond Ma Ken-(Trottel Records-Hungary-1993)

The second LP by this original Scottish band, I have already posted their first album released in 1989.
Archbishop Kebab was a Scottish Avant-Hardcore collective formed in 1986 in Edinburgh. They had a 13-year life span up to 1999.
1989 saw the release of their first LP, produced by Tim Ellis (Jackdaw With Crowbar) and the start on the first of many European tours they shared with likeminded groups - a.o. The Ex, Dog Faced Hermans, Badgewearer, Dawson and the Stretchheads.
In 1993 they released their second LP 'Beyond Ma Ken' recorded in the studio of the Hungarian label Trottel Records.
Then came along 'Heeliegoleerie And Scunnered (but cheerie)' partly recorded in Italy; the final Album 'Bellyhunting', recorded in 1997. (info from Discogs).
In this album some crazy free jazz core influences take over their amazing post-no wave hardcore yet they remain an exquisite avant-guard phenomenon. 
Enjoy it.

v.a.-Sinn & Form-(Datenverarbeitung -Germany-1982)

Great compilation with an exquisite selection of names and tracks mixing old school industrial,  ancient rhythmic noise, electro-weird goings and some noiz-ambient and avant-garde. It came out with a small booklet reporting bands addresses and graphic works.
 Datenverarbeitung  ‎was a small German cassette label run by Andreas Müller (10) (later of Normal Records) in the early 1980s. He started publishing a fanzine under that name and only later evolved into a cassette label.
Enjoy it.

HERD OF ETHER SPACE-Noises Of War-(Taped Rugs Productions-Usa-c60-1991)

"The group of sound experimenters known as "Herd Of The Ether Space" has a long and complex history, full of wonders and surprises for anyone interested in the avant-garde underground of the late 20th Century. Much of that history was documented on cassettes released by Taped Rugs Productions and other independent cassette/home recording labels. Between the 1980's and 1990's, Herd Of The Ether Space (HOTES) released 34 cassette albums and contributed to five international compilations of home-recorded, avant-garde tape compositions. Nineteen underground cassette labels from seven different countries distributed 26 HOTES productions throughout the world-wide home recording network. All of this happened before digital recording, computer technology, and the internet had become available and affordable to the average residents of what some might call "the modern world."HOTES was not a "band" in the traditional sense, and, in fact, several HOTES recordings were created years before the group even had the inclination to give itself a name. Over the course of two decades, no fewer than 29 individuals took part of creating HOTES recordings and/or participating in HOTES public performances. This archive is an attempt to unravel the complex tale of Ethereal chaos which HOTES wound together during its many years of sonic experimentation."(taken from their archive.org page)
Tapes Rugs was operated by Charles Rice Goff III since 1980. Over 200 releases including cassettes, CDs, videos, small press publications, etc. Underground cassette culture, experimental, avant-garde, electronic, Dada, sound collage, noise, etc. Among many recording projects: -ing (or -ING), Disism, Herd Of The Ether Space, Turkey Makes Me Sleepy, The Magic Potty Babies.Here the Taped Rugs official webpage.

KOOS-The walkman tapes-(Sound Action-South Africa-1990)

Unknown to the most Koos from  South Africa were active in the 80s playing avant-gard and art rock remind us lots of east European experimental bands of the  late 80s.
This tape is entirely recorded with a walkman tape recorder and  a single microphone,no over-dubbings and post effects were added to these recordings, making  this tape a masterpiece of art rock in its core,essential and hard to listen yet genuine.
It was eventually released on Sound Action,little and creative tape label from South Africa.Nijgh & Van Ditmar ‎from Holland released a full cd  of this band back in 2006
This tape is not indexed.
For you into adventures of weird sounds.
Joyful no sense art rock and post avantgard muzik.
