I don't think a copy of this made it to the list, so here ya go. Looks
like Or is going to somewhat replace the now defunct Ash label...

1998 compact disc releases from...



unless 1                              stutzpunkt wien 12 - ''UFO
Beobachtungen' - 51' 19" 6 tracks Barcode number 502780333012

This release, the first on new label OR, first appeared on double vinyl as
MEGO 003 (Vienna, 1995).  Digitally remastered, this unadulterated epic of
minimal techno was recorded byElin, who also functions as auto repeat on
ssr/crammed.



if 2                mazk  [masami akita & zbigniew karkowski] - 55' 30" 3
tracks Barcode number 5027803330221

mazk is a new group consisting of Japan's Masami Akita of the now household
name Merzbow and Tokyo resident Zbigniew Karkowski, sound and performance
artist  and once of PHAUSS and The Hafler Trio.

There are three tracks:

1        visible                10:51:23                [ma, zk]
2        transparent        24:27:00                [ma]
3        exposed                19:59:02                [zk]

The first is a collaboration, the second is mixed by Akita and the third by
Karkowski.  The CD was recorded at icc/ntt
studios, Tokyo and is limited to a thousand copies.

Those of you familiar with the recent releases of merzbow will notice that
this is different: instead of the brutal harsh metallic assult, mazk have
chosen a warmer nasty noise mixed with sub and low frequencies (more
digital than analogue), a kind of sour-techno-hyper-noise - arrrghhh... !!!

Promo copies available Wednesday 10th December; finished copies first week
of January.
Full CD price; release date January 26th 1998
