DE YXIMALLOOFABRIEK-Kretek Music-(Sakura Wrechords-Japan-1989-c90)

This is  tape is a full collaboration between the  Japanese noise artists Yximalloo and the  Dutch experimetal electronic act De Fabriek.
It came out in a very special package including a Indonesian cigarette and a piece of fabric that seems to be painted  with a batik colour technique + a A4 page with info, tracklist and few stencil  drawings that seems to be hand-painted.
The music evolves in areas such as electronic experiments,cut ups from radio shows,weird loops,mixed voices talks,field recordings and more random noises assembled with a special genius touch.
A very nice cassette released on the Japanese Sakura Wrechords that seems to be the label managed by Yximalloo.
Enjoy it.

THE LAST (Fanzine-Self Released-Italy-199?)


The Last is a comic fanzine created,designed and written by Gianluca Ricchiardi.He was born in Taranto (Southern Italy) and after different travels in the Italian boot he settled down in Torino(Northern Italy).
His close friends used to call him just Virus,he was a very talented comic artist.
This fanzine was released in a  limited edition of 100 copies and he described it as : "diy comic:style=splatter hardcore destroy & search cyber hip hop".
It was an A5 16 pages fanzine printed as laser photocopy,which allows us to appreciate his astonishing  drawing`s style.I must make a note about the printing method:laser xerox copies back in the 90s were very expensive therefore it was very rare to have a totally diy fanzine fully printed as laser photocopy.
The story itself is also very funny,unfortunately only in Italian language yet the lovers of certain comics will love his drawings.
Virus died in a car crash in Torino in the end of the 90s.
He was a very nice guy and a  great artist.
This post is dedicated to him.
Enjoy it.

DOC WOR MIRRAN-The Power Of Positive Obscurity-(Old Europa Cafe-Italy-1993)

"The actual name "Doc Wör Mirran" was thought up by Bernard H. Worrick while he and Joseph B. Raimond lived together in San Francisco in 1982. But the real history of DWM begins when Bernard H. Worrick and Joseph B. Raimond both moved to Nürnberg Germany in 1985, where Joseph B. Raimond bought an analog 8-track recording studio and began to record what has since become a huge body of recorded work. The concept of DWM though from the very beginning was to combine music, graphic art, painting, sculpture, poetry and just about every other medium of art into one project. The open-membership policy of DWM is an important part of the DWM philosophy.In the early 1990's, Bernard H. Worrick moved to Florida, taking with him an important part of the group's identity. But DWM has continued onwards without Bernard. Bringing Bernard back to Germany and returning him to the DWM fold has become one of the goals of the group. Although rarely playing live, DWM is not averse to live concerts, although playing live is not one of the priorities of the group. Since the departure of Bernard, DWM has become especially interested in collaborative efforts with other artists, both recorded and live. Recent developments with DWM include the formation of a new label within MT Undertainment devoted exclusively to the recordings, literature and artwork by DWM and its various members"(from Discogs)
They  are still active and this is their official webpage where you can read about all their activities and other releases.
This cassette was released by Old Europa Cafe, Italian label specializing in ambient, noise, industrial, and power electronics since the late  1980s,managed by Rodolfo Protti and still very active,this their official website.
For people into concrete and experimental music.

BRANDELLI D`ODIO-Sopravvivo ?-(Double cd-r+Booklet-Self Released-2006-UK)


I passed this one to Radiomolov  and Misterioso Impossivel blogs few years back yet those links are dead now.
I  posted few original video performances by Brandelli D`Odio and therefore I spoke already about them here,here and here.
I haven`t  posted any music by them yet,so this time you`ll find here "2 cds+booklet discography "released in 2006,limited edition of 200 copies,it is sold out and I released as digital format  to let it circulate via the net.
To whom missed the other posts here a brief introduction to this punk collective:
" Brandelli D`Odio was a collective of squatters coming from different towns  and based in the squats in Foggia (Southern Italy),they were active  from 1993  until 1997, acting as a kind of open collective.Their line up changed various time according to how they were planning their shows and the different possibilities of the time-travel circumstances. They used to mix into their live shows music and experimental theatre. During their short life they released 2 tape productions  and 2 seven inches, one of those posthumous.In 2006 a double cd called  "Sopravvivo?" was released, it did include almost all the discography of this band.
A very big thanx to X.One for the digital graphix re-make as pdf file. 
To finish this post I am going to attach here  a slideshow from my Youtube channel,where you`ll see more pics of those old days.
Enjoy it.
