For musicians inhabiting the Antipodean countries of Australia and New Zealand during the '70s and '80s, it was a geographically and culturally isolating environment. Boutique shops, community radio and mail-order exchanges championed independent and contemporary music from across the globe. It was, however, this isolation that caused a number of small community-focused scenes to evolve, creating their own unique interpretation and re-appropriation of outside influences. Through both these scenes and government initiatives, a vast amount of music emerged on self-released and independent labels. Yet, even among small scenes that were creating unique sounds, a number of artists seemed to be making music that was neither here nor there, often meshing together numerous genres and influences to create anomalous sounds. Artists like \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eOlev Muska\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e along with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eIngrid Slamer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e meshed traditional folk songs of their Estonian heritage with cutting-edge computer technology. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eNgahiwi Apanui\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e used his native language of Te Reo and a cheap drum machine to create a pulsating tale that highlights the creation of Aotearoa (the Maori name for New Zealand); while the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFree Radicals\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e would sing through PVC pipes to construct their vision of post-apocalyptic tribal music.

Studying set and costume design whilst making a name for himself as a singer and performer in Amsterdam's underground clubs, Richenel played with several disco acts and cultivated an extravagant cross-gender stage persona before connecting with members of the local label. Hooking up through their time together at the Rietveld art academy in Amsterdam, Fetisj was an experimental multi-media collective which revolved around a loose mix of various young artists and musicians. Having developed a house band with artists going by a number of different pseudonyms the label set up their own small makeshift studio and would produce and sell the cassettes through their distribution network and at events across the city. Recorded amongst the turmoiled punk and squatter scene of Amsterdam against a backdrop of drugs and social unrest, the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eLa Diferencia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e sessions reflect a unique mix of punk aesthetics with a synthesized bedroom funkiness. A somewhat illustrious figure in Dutch pop history with his flamboyant appearance as well as having one of the more exceptional male voices to come out of the country, Richenel would go on to record a number of successful albums and hit singles in the Netherlands and beyond. This largely unknown album on Fetisj however, seems to embody the spirit of another time; a particularly unique and richly creative moment in Amsterdam's musical and cultural history and one that is deserving of a much wider audience. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ePerfect Stranger\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is co-compiled by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrpheu De Jong\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\" - Music From Memory.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Music From Memory","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":13055981256767,"sku":"","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/MFM034LP_CU.jpg?v=1571718517"},{"product_id":"simple-affections-s-t","title":"SIMPLE AFFECTIONS - S\/T","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSimple Affections\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: \"I corralled a dream LP that I would want to listen to.

The work takes inspiration from Raaijmakers's music from the 1960s, his texts on sound composition like \"Cahier M\", and notes on his own music. On this recording, Ankersmit plays Serge Modular feedback and sine\/pulse\/random generators, contact mic, and tape speed variation; mirroring some of Raaijmakers's work, Ankersmit plays his Serge synthesizer as a kind of weather system. He references storms, thunder, crashing and falling objects, and distant radio transmissions in his electronic sounds, as well as dragging a contact mic across his equipment. Despite the abstract nature of the material, a sense of loss or mourning sometimes emerges from the music. With his homage Ankersmit re-contextualizes Raaijmakers's ideas about electric sound, composition, and spatial experience. Like Raaijmakers himself Ankersmit exclusively uses analog devices, such as sine\/pulse\/random generators, modulators, filters, and especially feedback processes between them. The music focuses on the sounds of raw electricity through creatively abused electronics, composing with analog micro-sounds, and the creation of three-dimensional sound fields. The piece also uses tones produced by the listener's own ears, inspired by Raaijmakers's thoughts on \"holophonic\" sound fields to be individually explored by the listener. With this phenomenon, the listener's inner ears actively generate sounds that don't exist in the recorded signal, and which can change with a small movement of the head. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eHomage To Dick Raaijmakers\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was commissioned by Sonic Acts and was premiered live at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam in February 2016.

Five-panel insert; Edition of 300. \"In the mid 1960s, Detroit Michigan was a thriving industrial city. It was at the edge of a cliff, however. The great ethnic diversity in the inner city was a brewing powder keg of civil unrest. This, coupled with a disillusioned population struggling to make some sense of a questionable war in the rice paddies of Vietnam, set an uneasy and troubling tempo for the future. Still, there were pockets of communities in the Detroit area where things were good and economic life was vibrant. The Grosse Pointes were such communities. It was on the outskirts of this political and racially tense era, in the affluent suburbs just outside of the city of Detroit, that Index was formed. The music of Index has been lauded by music heads for decades, and with good reason: it is bizarre, atmospheric, and 'home-made' (in the best of all possible ways); the band has a druggie sound, with songs full of feedback and fuzzy guitars, hazy guitar riffs and loud rhythms. Hidden amongst the echoing canyons of sound there's some snotty post-punk attitude wrapped up in that trippy velvet fuzz; a wonderful bleak sound, both droning and murky, the atonal side of late 1960's rock that would leave the most lasting impression on those who would eventually become punk, post-punk and indie rock artists like Joy Division or the Fall. Includes a 32-page booklet, written by Index drummer Jim Valice, detailing the band's rock and roll adventures, replete with photos and lyrics; printed on FSC recycled, chlorine-free, 100% post-consumer fiber paper manufactured using biogas energy.\"\" - Lion Productions.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Lion Productions","offers":[{"title":"Cass","offer_id":13056030933055,"sku":"","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/LION102CS_CU.jpg?v=1571718518"},{"product_id":"coil-astral-disaster-sessions-un-finished-musics","title":"COIL - Astral Disaster Sessions Un\/finished Musics","description":"\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Halloween 1998: Coil were invited to record at Sun Dial's studios beneath the London Bridge Hop Exchange -- a studio first known as Samurai Studios, originally built and owned by Iron Maiden.

Faust would reach near-mythical status through a series of classic albums recorded between 1970 and 1973 at their secluded Wümme studio.

It is in a mutual commitment to this unity that Lafawndah, Takada, and Partel Oliva find fertile aesthetic common ground. The music of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eRenard Bleu\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e originated in Takada's preoccupation with the legend of the fox; after constructing a vivid instrumental composition dramatizing the spirit animal's journeys through waterphone, bells, marimba, and various forms of drums, Lafawndah responded -- in her inimitable mix of fairytale and undertow -- with melodies and lyrics capturing a dialogue between her and the fox himself. Eventually, the duo met in Tokyo for a week of communing with the material at Avaco Creative Studios, where new elements were composed on site. Created in partnership with KENZO and premiered today via their channels, it was Partel Oliva who imagined a contemporary cinematic frame for the myth of the fox to reappear, creating a hybrid of choreography and narrative around Takada and Lafawndah's performance of their joint composition (also titled \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eLe Renard Bleu\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e). 20+ minute project\/track.\" - Midori Takada \u0026amp; Lafawndah in Association With !K7.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Midori Takada \u0026 Lafawndah in Association With !K7","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":13056086474815,"sku":"","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/KENZ001LP_CU.jpg?v=1571718518"},{"product_id":"jansen-steve-corridor","title":"JANSEN, STEVE - Corridor","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCorridor\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was composed as a sound installation first aired at Cape Breton University art gallery in Canada to accompany a selection of photographic images by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteve Jansen\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.

Ross is not only an internationally renowned instrument builder but is also an uncompromising creative musician. The first disc starts with a series of short seed pieces that play primarily with the timbral and microtonal differences highlighted between tone-holes, forming a layered effect while playing with only one fingering, single note or multiphonic. They range from the strictly tonal or modal pitch-centered to a thicker atonal and dissonant collection of frequencies. Pieces progress to longer complex ones by the second disc, some of which have as minimal material as the shorter ones, but make more extensive use of live multi-track recordings and frequency filters to further bring out changes in frequencies or accentuate specific multiphonics. The electronics used were created explicitly for each composition using the computer-based program MAX\/MSP. Save for the unconventional 15 microphones of the \"prepared bassoon\", these recordings include pieces with no sound processing whatsoever, as well as pieces that do involve sound processing and multi-tracking. Importantly, however, any processing is made in real time, not post-recording. All recordings are single-take recordings where four speaker channels along with room microphones have been mixed down to stereo. Key clicks occasionally get picked up in a loop recording to return sometimes processed, sometimes not, while in circular breathing a multiphonic might drop out before sounding again. What might sound like clicks or occasional drop outs on some pieces are not overlooked mastering faults but the result of this live processing, presenting these pieces as they would be in performance. With a formal background in classical music and early performance practice, Leslie Ross took a plunge into the free improvisation scene of downtown New York in the mid 1980's and has immersed herself in experimental music ever since. Her connected, parallel, work as a baroque bassoon builder also opened up concurrently into explorations of invented instruments and sound installations. She has presented solo programs, both acoustic and electro-acoustic throughout Europe and the US over the past three decades. In the mid 2000's she returned her music focus to a detailed exploration, analysis and understanding of bassoon multiphonics. It is through this exploration of multiphonics and the subtle changes made when playing with resonance keys that brought her to the music presented on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eDrop By Drop, Suddenly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\" - XI.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"XI","offers":[{"title":"Double CD","offer_id":13056164429887,"sku":"","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/XI141CD_CU.jpg?v=1571718518"},{"product_id":"suzuki-kaori-conduit","title":"SUZUKI, KAORI - Conduit","description":"\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSecond Editions presents \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eConduit\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eKaori Suzuki\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.

The work takes inspiration from Raaijmakers's music from the 1960s, his texts on sound composition like \"Cahier M\", and notes on his own music. On this recording, Ankersmit plays Serge Modular feedback and sine\/pulse\/random generators, contact mic, and tape speed variation; mirroring some of Raaijmakers's work, Ankersmit plays his Serge synthesizer as a kind of weather system. He references storms, thunder, crashing and falling objects, and distant radio transmissions in his electronic sounds, as well as dragging a contact mic across his equipment. Despite the abstract nature of the material, a sense of loss or mourning sometimes emerges from the music. With his homage Ankersmit re-contextualizes Raaijmakers's ideas about electric sound, composition, and spatial experience. Like Raaijmakers himself Ankersmit exclusively uses analog devices, such as sine\/pulse\/random generators, modulators, filters, and especially feedback processes between them. The music focuses on the sounds of raw electricity through creatively abused electronics, composing with analog micro-sounds, and the creation of three-dimensional sound fields. The piece also uses tones produced by the listener's own ears, inspired by Raaijmakers's thoughts on \"holophonic\" sound fields to be individually explored by the listener. With this phenomenon, the listener's inner ears actively generate sounds that don't exist in the recorded signal, and which can change with a small movement of the head. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eHomage To Dick Raaijmakers\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was commissioned by Sonic Acts and was premiered live at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam in February 2016.

Recognized as the creator of wall noise, McKinlay's conceptual intent and the singular intensity of his focus established something novel and profound. McKinlay's compulsive reverence for noise is a fetish of sound. Frequently, McKinlay utilizes field recordings and other sounds sourced from the objects of interest before encrypting them in an opaque shell of noise. Listening to McKinlay's recordings, it's often difficult to determine whether one actually hears the sounds of the source material or if the power of suggestion is so strong that the listener extracts phantom sounds. In recent years, McKinlay has increasingly focused on the female form, particularly the modes of body augmentation that define classical femininity, such as make up, nylon stockings, etc. The progression of this focus culminated with the most archetypal projection of femininity in Western Culture: the ballerina, her feet, and her pointe shoes. The foot of a woman has long been identified as the most common source of unusual sexual preoccupation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eToe Cleavage\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is the most comprehensive expression of McKinlay's recent endeavors. For the uninitiated, the term \"toe cleavage\" refers to the display of the upper portions of toes in low cut shoes -- an essential detail for many shoe designers. Across the seven tapes in this set, McKinlay, through his music, dissects, indulges, illustrates, and worships the feminine foot. To that end, McKinlay worked with Los Angeles based visual artist \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eOlivia Burr\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and recording artist \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eKristin Hayter\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLingua Ignota\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e). In addition to photographic contributions, Burr and Hayter provided much of the source material for McKinlay including: dance studio floor recordings; contact mic'd ballet shoes; and the repeated unboxing, unwrapping, trying on, walking in, and re-boxing of various designer shoes (Valentino, Miu Miu, etc.). Adding depth to the overall experience, McKinlay interspersed interludes throughout the recordings featuring audio samples derived from discussions and tutorials about pointe shoes, toe cleavage, and various designer ballet flat and stiletto reviews. This set of recordings is arguably McKinlay's most focused and obsessive effort to date and perfectly embodies the cultivated stylistic traits that have defined his work through the years. Seven-tape set come in a wooden box with a 16-page book, a colored poster, an insert drawn by Sam McKinlay in Ivory paper, and a sheet with notes. Edition of 99 (hand-numbered).\" - Urashima.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Urashima","offers":[{"title":"7x Cass Box","offer_id":13056228753471,"sku":"","price":82.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/URA030036CS_CU.jpg?v=1571718518"},{"product_id":"atrax-morgue-black-box","title":"ATRAX MORGUE - Black Box","description":"\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarco Corbelli\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's artistic journey began in the early '90s. Under the pseudonym of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarco Rotula\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, he started to release a series of fanzines in A5 format. The first was \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Pleasure Agony\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, followed by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSick\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eMurders\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. The aesthetics of these first fanzines were very sophisticated and the content deals with topics that will follow Marco Corbelli throughout his artistic career: sadism, schizophrenia, insanity, murder, psychosis, necrophilia, diseases, and most importantly death. In 1993, heavily influenced by his obsessions, Marco Corbelli began his musical activities creating the Slaughter Productions label and the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAtrax Morgue\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e project.

Tape after tape, with the help of an analog synthesizer Sequential Circuits Six-Trak, a microphone connected with a multi-effect, tape decks, and a mixer, Marco Corbelli blows up emotions and delusions, cutting out the hard way inspired portraits of phobias and deviation. The main manifesto of Atrax Morgue is the analysis of the death, his perfection and complete habituation: injections of death to continue to live. The putrescence is palpable, and one could almost smell and taste the miasma of decay that pervades the entire box. Anxiety, alienation, and hypochondria turn into a deep paranoia in pain. Without hesitation, the bodies are emptied, leaving the field to an electronics purulence of rare power disconcerting. The psychopathological sound is white, painful, and horrific; it creates a mental alteration that initiates brutal operation of psychic surgery, neuroses, and split personality. The hum of the synth, the roar of noise and razor are often repeated loops, where each track has a compact structure, following the main theme (of death). Urashima continue the tribute to the degenerate art of Atrax Morgue with an astonishing black wooden box with four CDs that include reissue of nine terrific titles: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack Slaughter\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(1993), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eNecro-sintesi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1993), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eBasic Autopsy Procedure\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1995), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eNecrophiliac Experience\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1994), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Ripper\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1994), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eLesion 22\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1996), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpasmosynthetics\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1997), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eCut My Throat\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1996), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eHomicidal Texture\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1996).

The album is a rare treat for fans of guitar ambient, tape loops, and the experimental side of new age music. When Carl Weingarten is one of the unsung heroes of American minimalism.

Functioning mainly in the art world, Hairbone has inflicted audiences from museums to decrepit basements with their carnivalesque live shows for nearly a decade. Each unique, thematically pointed multimedia performance narrative features frontman de Nieves inhabiting new personae in a sculptural actionist mode, brandishing oversized text-emblazoned props as if they were picket signs before their eventual destruction as Hairbone's near-opera burlesque freak shows unfurl. Obliquely political, theirs is a protest music without didacticism. Despite Hairbone's prolific, obsessively-documented life as a performance art group, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eEarth To Momma\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is the band's first studio LP, distilling their sprawling live shows into 12 distinct pieces of lyrical, art-damaged rock and pop music. Their institutional success begs for comparisons to artists' bands like \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eDestroy All Monsters\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e or \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eDie Tödliche Doris\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, but Hairbone's confusion of high and low culture fits them equally into peerdom with the classic American underground of the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eButthole Surfers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSun City Girls\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. A native of Mexico, de Nieves' bi-lingual incantations are bolstered by Stead's synthetic drum sampling and acid-fried neoclassical shredder excess courtesy of guitarist Whipple. The record is a shapeshifting suite that fits veiled commodity critique, volcanic convulsions, blasé songcraft, and a breezy instrumental into a hallucinatory vision haunted by abject clowns and the grain of twisted emergency police calls.

Aligned with the second generation of the Berlin School, their output is incredibly varied: from repetitive sequencer patterns via playfully cheerful synth pop all the way to atmospheric, hypnotic minor key expanses. It's all there. By 1984, LAPRE had released two tapes and a 12\" vinyl. Bureau B's compilation presents the most compelling tracks from these releases. Rudolf Langer began his musical career as one half of Tyndall. The duo released four albums on Sky Records between 1979 and 1983. By the time the two musicians reached the fourth album (BB 289CD\/LP), they were barely on speaking terms, so each recorded one side of the LP on his own. The split from his former partner turned out to be a liberating experience for Rudolf Langer, both in a personal and artistic sense. As luck would have it, Langer was riding home one night with a colleague from work, Peter Preuß, and a tape machine was lying on the back seat of the car. It turned out that Preuß was also a musician, a guitarist in fact, and they decided to hook up for a jam session. The results were hugely promising and a plan was made to record together. What should they call the project? The answer was simple -- take the first letters of their names. LAnger + PREuß = LAPRE. They worked on track after track after track and produced two tapes over the next two years (\"Tedan\" in 1983 and \"Flokati\" in 1984), each numbering 30?50 copies, intended for sale at concerts. A 12\" single on their own label (Oeso) followed later in 1984. Although guitar features on every track, LAPRE's early recordings relate to the Berlin School, with their music, specifically their use of synthesizers, echoing the tradition of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eTangerine Dream\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eKlaus Schulze\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, et al.

One of the great pioneers of electronic, computer, and instrumental avant-garde music, for the majority of his life, the German composer Roland Kayn remained almost entirely unknown, a founding member of the legendary ensemble, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eGruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, heralded as a singular genius by a small number of figures like \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJim O'Rourke\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Though the composer was included within Deutsche Grammophon's seminal Avant-Garde series during the early 1970s, it wasn't until 2017, six years after his death, that the ranks of his fans began to noticeably swell, following the release of his monumental work, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Little Electronic Milky Way Of Sound\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e by Frozen Reeds (FR 007-022CD, 2017). Die Schachtel present a reissue here of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSimultan\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, an overwhelmingly important work in his canon, from 1977, stretching across three LPs. While Roland Kayn might be easily described as a composer of electronic, electro-acoustic, or computer music, the majority of his career was in fact largely dedicated to the revolutionary sculpting of an entirely new territory of sound: cybernetic music, a generative process of composition through programming. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSimultan\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was among the first of the composer's works to emerge from this process. Cybernetic music grew from Kayn's longstanding engagement and fascination with data processing theory. This territory of creativity was the composer's attempt to allow sound to be self-sufficient, stripping away notions of harmony, melody, and rhythm, deploying complex networks of electronic devices. Created during the period in which Kayn was living in the Netherlands and recorded with the assistance of electronic music legends \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJaap Vink\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeo Küpper\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSimultan\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is filled with a remarkable sense of humanity and touch. The sounds on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSimultan\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e range from seductive ambiences, grinding swells of atonally and pure texture, to buried tone clusters. \"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe mystery, the grace, the boundless invention -- Kayn's machine music is a vast catalogue of very human wonder.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\" --The Guardian Remastered from the original analog master tapes.

Jeph has explored everything from primitively brilliant free jazz with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBlowhole\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e to deep electronic explorations under the name \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eHands To\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, although in the latter part of the 1990s he shifted his focus to music made with found natural objects. Tim Barnes entered our consciousness as fluent master of experimentally canted percussion before he threw us a curve by joining \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatt Valentine\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eTower Recordings\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e ensemble and going deep-prole for a while. Regardless, he and Jeph started releasing duo recordings almost 15 years ago, and they all brim with a very specific type of spectral weirdness. The instruments listed in the credits are: metal, bamboo temple blocks, springboard, wood, feathers and electrics. Furthermore the sho is played by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eKo Ishikawa\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. So what about the three horn players pictured on the cover? In fact, they are \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlex Bruck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eRamón Del Buey\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMisha Marks\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. This ensemble is briefly heard as distorted source material on the a-side (a penny to the first listener who finds them), but it turns out for this project they're mostly just dancers who use the horns as props, visually key to the process; aurally, not as much. But as you listen to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Finger'd Remove\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e you'll probably start to wonder, 'Hey, where are the instruments not listed? Because surely that's the sound of a dead horse full of bees being dragged down gravel road. Or, wow -- a Texas rain-toilet.' Right? Well, Jeph and Tim aren't saying, but maybe it's just that there are instruments too complicated to notate. Dig? The wild collection of sounds here are designed to live primarily in your imagination. Do you really need to name all that stuff? Our suspicion is you'll be just fine if you lay back, close your eyes, and open your mind to the infinite possibilities suggested here.
