Christine 23 Onna - Shiny Crystal Planet

 

Formed in 1993 as a duo by Yamazaki Maso and guitarist Toda Fusao from Angel'in Heavy Syrup, Christine 23 Onna is described by the band themselves as a "space mondo psychedelic group." The sound of Christine 23 Onna is very different to that of Masonna, Space Machine, or that of Angel'in Heavy Syrup. It is based around a fusion of the psychedelic phrases of accomplished guitarist and composer Fusao, and the spacey electronics of Yamazaki. While the music of Christine 23 Onna is experimental, at the same time there is something about its pop fashion sense that would make it the perfect colorful, acid soundtrack for trips both good and bad at some hip, astro-modernist, interior-designed go-go lounge - all shimmering crystals, glass beads, fluorescent plastic and shining metallic finishes. Unusual for any project involving Yamazaki, this one has groovy repeating beats and a clear sense of compositional structure.

Tracklist:
1. Drive To Crystal Planet (6:08)
2. Cosmic Jungle (3:27)
3. Christine Hop #1 (3:57)
4. Christine Hop #2 (2:46)
5. Insect Voice (0:48)
6. Mondo Nude Mode (4:53)
7. Groovy Spacy '70 (7:12)
8. Hypnosis (5:36)
9. Under Cover Of Darkness (2:27)
10. Pulse On Pulse (3:45)
11. Moon Over (4:57)
12. New Dawn On Crystal Planet (1:24)

Not exactly out of print, 'cos I don't think it was ever in print.

My audience recording of Cabaret Voltaire at The Final Academy in October 1982.
The quality's not great but considering it was hand etched onto a wax cylinder in real time, it doesn't sound too bad.

Hope you enjoy it

L. A. Mantra

 

Various L.A. Mantra cassette (Trance Port, 1983)

Though described in several online entries as the first of Trance Port's trance cassettes, this pup is less a trance release and more of an overview of Los Angeles' non-punk music underground. The only artist on L.A. Mantra that is even close to being a household name (but only if you live in a very hep house) is Savage Republic. Music freaks might recognize the name of Savage Republic side project The Tunneltones, the John & Dix Denney (of the Weirdos) experimental venture If-Then-Else, or A Produce, the founder of Trance Port, member of Afterimage, and a pioneer in the L.A. trance music scene. And then there are true obscurities such as Rich Evac (of Afterimage and Psi Com), Fat & Fucked Up, and Debt of Nature.

You've read enough of my babbling on the cassette underground. I am sure you know that something exciting was happening in the Los Angeles underground from 1975 to about the time this cassette was released. And I am too fucked for time and energy to search out more information on the artists represented on this cassette. I will, however, leave you with a handful of songs.

If-Then-Else - Hey Big Oil
Rand Kennedy - Enorma Jones
Rich Evac - A Scanner Darkly
Tunneltones - Last Line of Love
Chas Smith - October '68

Bruce Haack, born on May 4, 1931, was one of the most musically and lyrically inventive children's songwriters of the '60s and '70s. Despite — or perhaps because of — his intended audience, his music was unusually expressive, combining homemade analog synths; classical, country, pop, and rock elements; and surreal, idealistic lyrics. Haack's innovations and desire to teach still sound fresh, making his music a favorite with fans of analog synths and esoteric recordings. Followers like Luke Vibert and Add N to X championed his unique musical vision, which embraced concepts like "powerlove" and turned household appliances into synthesizers and modulators.This musical vision appeared at age four, when Haack started picking out melodies on his family's piano; by age 12, he gave piano lessons and played in country & western bands as a teen. His upbringing in the isolated mining town of Rocky Mountain House in Alberta, Canada, gave Haack plenty of time to develop his musical gifts. Seeking formal training to hone his ability, Haack applied to the University of Alberta's music program. Though that school rejected him because of his poor notation skills, at Edmonton University he wrote and recorded music for campus theater productions, hosted a radio show, and played in a band. He received a degree in psychology from the university; this influence was felt later in songs that dealt with body language and the computer-like ways children absorb information.

So I don't know if this is allowed to be posted, but does anyone have a digital file of the Pocahaunted/Robedoor at Berkeley cassette that Ecstatic Peace released. It's sold out now and I don't really have a way to listen to cassettes anyway. I was at the concert, but sadly missed their set and I'd like to be able to hear a recording of it.

A wonderful psychedelic experiment, a nice example of an early experimental electronic music. Formed in 1967 by Joseph Byrd, the band membership consisted of the following: Joseph Byrd (electronic music, electric harpsichord, organ, calliope, piano, and Durrett Electronic Music Synthesizer), Dorothy Moskowitz (lead vocals), Gordon Marron (electric violin, ring modulator), Rand Forbes (an early adopter of the fretless electric bass) and Craig Woodson (electric drums and percussion). Ed Bogas also performed on the record with occasional organ, piano, and calliope; he became a full member of the band on its first and only tour. Note that there was no guitar!

‘Merzdow Shek’ was Mario Marzidovšek (born 1961 in Slovenia). He launched ‘Marzidovshek Minimal Laboratorium’ (MML) tape label in 1984 to release his own music and that of the local northeast Slovenia area bands. The region was active with various bands in industrial towns like Maribor, Celje, Žalec and Štajerska, where Marzidovšek lived. In Trbovlje was Laibach. In Maribor was various punk bands like Masaker or CZD and Abbildungen Varieté, an experimental music band active ca1982-1983. Three main independant labels were active in Slovenia during the mid1980s: FV from Ljubljana, Slovenija from Koper and MML from Štajerska. During its 4 years of existence (1984-1988), MML released 80 cassettes of slovenian and international bands.
A technician in a local chemical factory, Marzidovšek started doing music inspired by his industrial surroundings and the many records he had collected: krautrock, european avantgarde, american minimalism and the local punk scene. He published zines, articles, visual poetry in xeroxed editions. He composed music for theater performance in 1988 (see here). He was a painter as well. Since the 1990s, he seems to have disappeared from the music scene, even before the beginning of the war in 1992.
MML had many contacts outside Slovenia, sending tapes abroad, releasing foreign bands and international compilations. He got reviews in music magazines like Option, Sound Choice, Maximum Rock ‘n’ Roll or NME. He lived in the Netherlands in 1987-88 when Staaltape released this tape. Presumably a live recording of industrial, looped synth music, with elements of Z’ev druming sound, Laibach ‘marching music’ and synth industrial soundscapes.

Smog- Came Blue 7" (1997)

 

Bill Callahan, also known as Smog, has a new album out, called Woke On A Whaleheart. In honor of the occasion, here is an old Smog 7" engineered by Jim O'Rourke. This came out around the time of Red Apple Falls, which also featured the talents of Mr. O'Rourke both behind the board and in front of the mics. Out on the German Hausmusik imprint, this little record was distributed by Drag City here in the US. It is no longer available through the normal channels, but you can find both tracks on the Smog rarities compilation Accumulation: None.

The record sleeve is cut like a folder. It opens from the side and has pockets for the record itself and the little information/lyric sheet that comes with it. The record has a large spindlehole, so you need an adapter to play it. How quaint!

 

Tracks:
01- Came Blue
02- Spanish Moss

VIVENZA-Metallurgie, 1987, Freedom In A Vacuum (cassette, 320 kbps)

An essential musical document from the 80'S CASSETTE UNDERGROUND- this is by Jean-Marc Vivenza, a French sound-artist and writer born in 1957. Vivenza apparently recorded all of his sound sources in factories and montaged them together to create his compositions. His work is INDUSTRIAL by definition, since no other source material is used. The end-result is NOISE MUSIC of the highest order: brutal, repetitive, mechanistic lock-grooves meshing and then clashing- the sound of a future world where no human interaction can be noticed- just machines running a lonely, dead planet. Superb!
