19/Juke - Pieces
Unfathomable ethnographic whirlpools organised by genius beyond my imagination.
Originally self-released on vinyl in 1982, this is a lossless rip of the CD reissue on Time Bomb Records from 1996.

WHAT'S THE POINT?
The intention is to promote people who make beautiful music.
The intention is to introduce you to the people who have been carving their own path...with no care for what anybody thinks.
We try not to post things that are still for sale but sometimes post things that are not easily available. If you like what you hear, then find these people and tell them how great they are.
Better still, tell them and then seek out their new releases and buy them. We add links, when they are reliable and active, so that you can keep track if you so wish.
Always go straight to the artist or the label where possible. That way, the money goes straight to the people responsible for this art. These people rely on our support to keep going and make more quality releases!
Please feel free to leave comments as you go along...at least then we know you appreciate this stuff (or otherwise) and you're not just a bunch of freeloading file collectors.
If you made this music and we have pissed you off by posting any of this, please leave a comment in the post and the offending articles will be removed.
The only 7" by short-lived Swedish power-electronics supergroup, featuring Erik Jarl, Ochu and a few other folks from the Segerhuva orbit. Released in 2002.
Confusingly, there are two different Swedish noise acts called Blod. This is the much nastier Blod. 2004 CD released by Seguhuva.
Sounds of knife sharpeners by the co-king of Elgaland-Vargaland, released in Iceland as a 10" record by Some Records in 1998.
Going way back to 1988, this is the debut solo LP by the future king of Elgaland-Vargaland, released by his future co-king CM Von Hauswolff on his Radium 226.05 label.
Demos, home recordings and very early tracks of electro industrial by a young Gianluca Becuzzi. Released in 2008 as a double CD by Italian new wave/punk label Spittle. Read more...
An EP of anarchist agitation power electronics by Swedish band Barrikad, released as a CDR in 2001 by Freak Animal.
Italian artist Gianluca Becuzzi is known nowadays for his dark ambient and electro-acoustic music, including a run of excellent collaborative albums with Fabio Orsi. Early in his career, though, he made goth/industrial dance music under the name Limbo and would later become a member of seminal Italian electro group Pankow. This is Limbo's 1992 album, released by a label called Dune, which was run by one of the Pankow guys.
From the twisted mind of Wendy Gondeln, aka Albert Oehlen. Hard to describe, so I won't bother trying. Released as a CD in 1999 by Leiterwagen.
CD compiled by the artist Hans-Ulrich Obrist, given away in a French magazine in 2000 and again with the catalog to an architecture exhibition. Tracks by Merzbow, CM von Hauswolff, Justin Bennett, Pommasl, Serge Comte, Mika Vainio and others.
This 3x7" has such a strange story that I'm just going to reprint the text from Discogs:
"Pressed in edition of 400 copies sometime in the early 90's (probably around 1992). However, the records and their beautiful silkscreened envelope lay in storage in a basement in Seattle waiting for some as yet undecided element to finish them. Then in late 1996, they were finally unleashed, though only 100 copies, as it was decided that each batch of 100 would be a different variation on the set, and work on the each batch would seem to start only well after the last one had sold out. Through this long process, Mark Schomburg a.k.a. Abo of Yeast Culture varied the title of the collection as well as of the label, though essentially containing the same material. The artist on each side as well as the speed each side plays at (some are 33 and some are 45) can be figured out by listening to the spoken intros to each side recorded by Mark Andrew Schomburg and John Hubbard.
"Each record does have its own individual sleeve, and both are contained in a silkscreened envelope which is tied shut with string. For this edition, the original sleeves and labelled were supplemented with extra collage elements. Also, the title of the compilation was changed from the original "Circusirus" and the label changed from the original "Petri Supply", as well as giving different names for the artists [Birdturd instead of Strength Through Joy, and Yeast instead of Yeast Culture]. However, these are exactly the same two records contained in the earlier Circusirus on Petri Supply [from the same pressing in fact]."
