Sudden Infant - Dark Sperm

Spectacular channel switching noise ejaculations fresh from the mind of the Swiss maestro.

C30 released on Teenage Whore Tapes in 2007.

Runzelstirn & Gurgelstøck - Asshole/Snail Dilemma

This is the CD you cannot make it all the way through. It is abject misery. Worth attempting, of course, and Eb.er's dedication is admirable in its way... but you may quickly get the feeling that you don't need to climb all the way to the top of this particular mountain. Released by Tochnit Aleph in 2000, then inexplicably reissued on LP ten years later.

Sudden Infant - Sudden Infant's Turntable Cookbook

Runzelstirn & Gurgelstøck - Ho

My favorite of all the Schimpfluch-related recordings is this CD, released in 1992. 69 short tracks of precision psychosis, violent silence, barking and puking. The place to start if you're a first-time vistor to Rudolf Eb.er's planet.

S. I. / TAC - Split

Sudden Infant and TAC (or Joke Lanz and Tom Cox) tickling your synapses to distract you from the truth .... they're messing with your mind!

Institut Für Psycho-Hygiene - Rudolf Eb.er - Lieder Zur Anal.ytischen Selbstverkrüppelung

"Songs for Analytical Self-Crippling", and you can sing along to every last one of them! Released in 1991 as an LP by Schimpfluch, of course, in a paltry edition of just 70 copies in the label's well-known handmade art packaging. Mostly consists of Eb.er talking to himself, with occasional intrusive raspberries.

G*Park - Geopod

His second CD, exactly as hermetic and seductive as what came before it. Released by Zabriskie Point in 1995.

Rudolv Eb.er - Die Läuse Zerfressen Mich ... ... Die Säue Erbrechen Sich

Strange (duh) double cassette from 1990 on the inscrutable Schimpfluch imprint. Only the first tape had recorded sound on it. The second was a tape-less shell with doodads inside that you could shake around, though heck knows why anyone would. The edition of 30 copies must have more than satisfied "demand" when it came out, though it fetches high prices from collectors nowadays. Surely the object is as impressive as the surgically-precise grunts, barks, flatulence and pregnant pauses that greet a listener upon playback. Title translates (roughly) to "The Lice Eat Me, The Sows Vomit". You know... for kids!

Sudden Infant - SICV

Triple LP concept albums? My arse! Oh and Michael Bay, pay attention you talent-less money-burning waste of energy. Why even bother when you can nail it in five minutes and eighteen seconds on a business card CDr released on Audiobot in 2005.

Rudolv Eb.er ‎– KSK Dokumentation N° 01: Hünchen-zerdresch-(a)akctionsjodlertum / … (Erbrechend - [Und] Abreaktiv)

Recorded between 1987 and 1990, spliced with yellow teeth and some dirty Scotch tape in 1990 and promptly released on vinyl in an edition of 100 copies the same year. You can hear Eb.er's blood-boiling passion and urgency spilling out like rotted pigmeat and scrotal filth from these grooves. G*Park, Sudden Infant and a cast of other strangely-named Schimpfluch-aligned miscreants get diced up and ground into the stew.

G*Park - Seismogramm

Swiss artist Marc Zeier was one of the earliest members of the Schimpfluch crew, yet he remains one of the least prolific (Inzekt and Merz-Jazz beat his minimal output record, but after a couple of excellent recordings the former went on to produce inconsequential techno, and the latter was merely a one-off improv group document). His G*Park recordings make clear right away why there aren't many of them. Each album is meticulously produced, with careful and highly detailed compositions of utterly baffling origin. Fans of The Hafler Trio, Hands To, or irr.app.(ext.) will enjoy this stuff, as will anyone with working ears and a soul. After a run of cassettes between 1986 and 1988 (all compiled onto a 6xCDr boxset released by Tochnit Aleph), "Seismogramm" was the first LP. It came out as an LP on the Schimpfluch label, and was then reissued on CD by Blossoming Noise. If you like this (and there's no reason why you wouldn't), check out "Corpse", a tape released by Banned Productions or "Sub", a double CD released by 23five, both of which are still available and totally necessary.
