Fuck it ----- once yearly IDM-L post time.... jan 1999 attack phase..brief overview - 1/ look out for an announcement in the new year regarding our attempt to exorcise the ugly spirit of record collecting from the face of the planet broadcast via web cam to the watching world, this will be bigger than 'my first time' was (before it was revealed as a hoax;-))!!!!! over the course of an evening our wrecking crew will systematically destroy (via the use of hammer, chisel, sledghammer and knees) 100 of the so called 'rarest' electronic records (as listed in YOU PAID WHAT!! FOR THAT? monthly), accompanied by the sound of the diskono ensemble performing a specially composed piece designed to be played on 100 cash registers up for the cosh include skam 01-09, mask 01-03, v/vm 001, all early rephlex, early b12, rare detroit 12"s, plus much much more 2/ (DISKONO Z) psychogeographic chicago : aerospace soundwise - carter / reger 7" anti-dj'ing tool customised by us with stickers, screwdrivers & glue, produced by todd a.carter, combining samples of his jazz musician father (carter) and great uncle, german composer, max (reger) todd is sample player in chicago's electro-acoustic ensemble tv pow as well as a member of storks international, an artistic- political movement designed to combat banality as terror. previous recordings include ground zero's consume remix project (ameboic), lucky kitchen's 'imaginary video games' cd and chicago's lumptronic II compilation. see: (www.boxmedia.com) (www.gentlegiantrecords.com) (http://www2.gol.com/users/miyuki/indies/amoebic/a.amoebic.html) (http://www.luckykitchen.com) (DISKONO AA) psychogeographic edinburgh : wee dj's - (hate) radio 7" on june 24th last year, commercial station FORTH FM (97.6) was blanked out for most of the day in the area of edinburgh by an anarchic crew of pirate radio jammers, through a 3rd party, (as the instigators still face a prison sentance if captured), we got hold of the tapes and now present this slice of real life culture- jamming, hacked up chart action / dj speak juxtaposed with signal decay, cheapo fried electronics and freakin live-on air fx manipulation (DISKONO 03) suetsu and underwood - the love album LP / CD hot on the heels of the 'imaginary video games' compilation, the fried minds behind lucky kitchen cook up 26 tracks representing love of significant other, lover, church, state, family, ancestors, and other healthy, and/or unhealthy loves. friends interviewed re: how they met their loves, subject & sound subjected, demonstrating s&u's supreme ability to USE sound, not just create it (DISKONO AB) vengloss advocaat - artist as critic CD DKL: what would you like people to do to fight copyright? DON JOYCE: if you care to, simply continute to show how interesting, amusing and valuabe free appropriation in the arts is, by continuing to make EXAMPLES of it. the best way to counter the greedy and ungenerous arguments against free approriation is to DO IT yourself" artist as critic, avant-pop collage entirely composed of fragmentary use of other peoples records & films 3/ check these recds out frranck 7" [german stuabgold] insert text in french, dusted with referances to oswald (john not lee), reich, quenevau, burroughs, picasso, stravinsky, tzara (drop the t folks) provides an indicator to the parallel universe these franco-philes inhabit, a scuzzed, rotting ballet-mechanique, where the death rattle of electronika takes place, chaotic, vauge and inexact, lo-fi aesthetic fights a private war against electro, noise and hip hop, tense sci-fi samples (orson welles circa1938, hale-bopp / heavens gate) add to the sense of future-collapse, frranck emerge battle scarred, mutilated but ultimately victorious, think i-f minus the kraftwerk homage complex in a 3 way conferance call with q-bert and the dead c. email ; xxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx-xxxxx.xx young farmers claim culture - not a festshrift CD [dutch stellingname cd001] now there is an argument that the only way for 'alternative' culture to compete with 'bourgious' culture is to produce art as attractive or as aesthetically pleasing to the spectator as the average soap powder ad, and with the digital means of production, in both sound recording and print /multi-media fields becoming ever more within the fiscal grasp of ever the most frugal on-the fringes label, there is no longer the need to be stuck in the late 70's cut n paste black and white zerox ghetto, outsider music need no longer 'look' outside, labels such as sabotage are exploiting this with their range of perfumes and fashion wear and that is only to be applauded in my opinion young farmers claim culture house their multimedia cross-platform experiance (music - art - toys) in a tastefully minimilistic sleeve (think designers republic minus the fussy typefaces), claiming to be neither musicians, artists or scientists, but instead producing a sort of 'digitallia muzaka' by fooling around with the latest software that falls into their laps. (my cd-r is busted at this point, so any analysis on the cd-r portion will have to wait for another day) these digital harvesters hardwire the cold european sensibilites of hutter & crew with rhymic disfunction of autechre into a sort of pan-global cyber-funk, for man & machine, clean and processed, very tighly structured with any apparent randomness 'controlled', crystal clear sonic defination containing no blurring around the edges or haze which makes one feel they are entering into the "unknown", tho the imaginative use of the human voice (or it's processed pc equivilant), spliced , run backwards, serperated in the sound spectrum etc., provides a psychedelic edge, a sort of aural hypnosis is induced, much in the same way a traditional hypnotist will work i.e. confusing the subject by issuing a conflicting string of commands then when the subject cannot comprehend striking with the real command or suggestion. maybe then we will discover the real message behind this release? distributed by xxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xx klangwart / tarkatak - split 7" [german klangstelle] sound instillation experimentation from deepest germanic territories. tarkatak base their compostion around the tonal exploration of a single pulsing note muscled around the sonic landscape byexposure to various delays and reverbs, over and under tones merge into a powerful drone whilst fragments of bar-room chatter sublimate the mix. klangwart offer a different approach on the same theme, building from gentle electro-acoustic probing via manipulation of attack and timbre to use of volume in extremes, from focused and meditive to peircing and distorted. check avaliable from xxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx-xxxxx.xx 4/ 9.Office Products - Business CD [O/P] 54.Suetsu and Underwood - The Love Album [Diskono] 99.Wee Dj's - [Hate] Radio CD-R 32.Ashtray Navigations - 4 Raga Moods CD [BWCD] 1.Sublette - Western Classics LP [Lovely] 90.Fennez - Il Libro Mini-CD [TanzHotel] 2.V/vm - Stuffing 7" [V/vm] 87.Areski / Fontaine - Un Beau Matin 7" [Saravah] 5.Aeron Bergman - Boston Pops Tape [Lucky Kitchen] 0.Lost In Transalation - Consume 2 x 7" [Burnt Hair] 76a.Antonin Artaud - Pour En Finir Avec Le Judgement de dieu CD [Sub Rosa] 82b.Reznieck - Audi & Goggo/Armgartburg Picture 10" [Staubgold] 5f.Charles Bukowski - Reads @ Bellevue 1970 Tape 7.KlangKreig - Das Fieber CD [AudioWeb] 00.2.Phthalocyanine - Pre-valid LP [A-Musik] 64.Das Pimmon - Pimmon CD [Pimmon] [a].Wrong - In The Wrong 2xCD [Sunship / Climax / BWCD] 52.Karl - The Moor of Soho 7" [Stomach Ache] 09.Edgardo Canton - Promenade Dété Dulis Nasa CD [Nepless] ..rgds --------___----__----^^^-----__^^^^--- no ART here!!!
