New cassette release: Classic old school noise: progenitors of the genre from 1981-83 using early synths and tape loops, effects, living room layering experiments. This duo were part of the early noise movement (see also SPK, Esplendor Geometrio, early Throbbing Gristle). This is a limited release cassette, side A of which contains a recently “unearthed” never before released track, side A of a TDK C-60. “…an alcohol fueled midnight experiment, mixing cigarettes, booze and synthesizers into some kind of industrial strength muck. Feeding my Korg MS20 synth into Lons’ harmonizer and Korg Stage Echo machine…”. Walls of sound that we called “Industrial” or “Industrial Noise” back in the day before bands like NIN and Skinny Puppy coopted the genre moniker. Side B of the cassette (tracks 2-7) contain previously unreleased material, raw tracks of previous stuff and snips of a couple classics. See also Controlled Bleeding.
