ULTIMA ROTA CARRI-Necronenie-(Self Released-Italy-1988)

This is an amazing side project by the legendary Tam Quam Tabula Rasa post-industrial band active since the late 80s, a project already covered in this blog. 

In this tape, U.R.C. offers us a sonorous compendium of hypno-ritual old school industrial.

A wonderful gift from the crypt of the 80s.
Enjoy it.

TAM QUAM TABULA RASA-In Absentia-(Biotope Art Organization-Italy-c46-1989)

Another astonishing cassette by the legendary Tam Quam Tabula Rasa, I  wrote about them when I posted the tapes Muleacenani and Lacrymae Rerum.

From the distant echoing bells starting the first track we are transported in a ritual ancient site of exquisite oblivion while traveling to other parallels TQTR  with this tape brings us to new dimensions of fears and pleasures. 

The cover sleeve is an archive picture of the self flagellation Christians in Guardia Sanframondi, a small village close to Benevento,this is a rite happening every 7 years.
The label is the amazing Biotope Art Organization label based in fact in Benevento during the 80s before moving to London.
I am a big fan of this band since long time and I love this tape.
Enjoy it.

TAM QUAM TABULA RASA-Lacrymae Rerum MCMXC(c46-Old Europa Cafe-Italy-1990)+ Muleacenani-(c46-Old Europa Cafe-Italy-1994)

T.Q.T.R. is  Luca Ferrarini,Marco Berisso,Paolo Gentiluomo and Roberto Soprani.This Italian band is been active since the late 80s releasing a good amount of tapes and cds. "Muleacenani" was released on Old Europa Cafe(old Italian label of industrial music managed by Rodolfo Protti and still active nowadays)as c46.This tape was re-released on double cd together with “Lacrymae Rerum” tape, always by Old Europa Café label,in a limited edition of only 150 copies back in 2006.
Some people call the music of this tape “archaic drone atmosphere ambient”, the term quite make the job for me. An ethereal flux of dreams/sounds bringing you throu a spiral of desires and flames. 
If you are into ritual music and dronish noise this tape is for you.

As for the music of Lacrymae Rerum(the tears of the things)-this is a bit different from  Muleacenani,a different approach and technique is used, delivering us a much more industrial sound reminding me some of the very first SPK releases. The ethnic/ritual drone- noise is still there but somehow loops and metal objects cranking and bashing are thrown in creating  a mixture of deviant extreme electronic sounds that eventually crash within.There are also some tracks a bit more rhythmic  that blow us in a destructive  yet creative and organized chaos.
The usual aural texture of the other releases is still there but this time with a cataclysmic cacophony.

Enjoy those brilliant pearls.
