Various - British Cassette Culture (Recordings 1975-1984)




You have to love VOD. I'm British and have long been an avid pursuer of the obscure boundary pushers that are out there. However, apart from the Pink Dots, everything here had previously completely avoided me. This is an entire world of hitherto unknown excellence ... an entire landscape of synth-industrial-electronica-dark ambient that bears no relation to the vaguely equivalent forms of music that permeated the contemporary consciousness.

Eight LPs, one seven inch single and one single-sided seven inch single courtesy of Vinyl-on-demand in 2016.

01 Those Little Aliens & This Little Alien: Recordings 1980-1981

02 Ron Berry: Where Dark Forces Meet

03 Legendary Pink Dots: Premonition

04 Stephen Cadman: Big Smith Stays In Bed

05 All The Madmen: Tape Recordings 1980-1983

06 Carl Matthews: Mirage-Tapes-Years

07 Kevin Harrison: Tape-Recordings 1975-1985

08 Ron Crowcroft: Mundane Recordings 1980-1985

It's not MP3.

ashamed to admit that I haven’t listened to (or forgot maybe) none of these artists except Legendary Pink Dots, but that wiill now change.
as always, dankje for this grand compilation and of course for the non-mp3s.

Btw if you would allow me- I have been going through the stuff of a netlabel called Clinical Archives that you might be familiar with.

Sharing here because I think it would be of much interest to both of you as well the people who visit Bleak Bliss. Cheers!

oops and I was thinking I was the only one, should have read more carefully but this kind of big box sets always gets me too excited :D

Compilations like this are always appreciated by those of us on the outside looking in. Thanks for this and all the rest.

Blessings and good health to you and Mrs. Inside always. You drop this (assuredly) marvelous box set at just the moment I'm rediscovering my love for SPK. Coincidence? I don't believe such a thing exists.

Bleak bliss indeed. Hearty thanks as always.
