Smell & Quim / Expose Your Eyes - Split




Let's face it, whether or not we've been wanked off by a gay skinhead, we've all gone out with the best of intentions and had a good time. Apparently. The clarion call is either "I AM GODHEAD WHAT'S YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM" or "sorry, couldn't hear you, it's a bit loud in here. Sorry, my mind is going, there's no question about it ... i can feel it". Or both.

This is the sound of the next morning's confusion and shame when you realise all of the things that you did last night ...

An 8" Lathe released on Stinky Horse Fuck in 1998.

Various - Bilateral Separation




"A split channel compilation featuring different sound artists on the left and right channels to be played either alone or simultaneously. In other words, there are technically 20 tracks, not 10. The left most artist and title featured corresponds to the left channel and vice versa."

The line ups are spectacular: to save my fingertips just look. The only downside is that all of the tracks come in at just under two minutes each. It's s shame because I could listen all day long.

C20 released on Clotted Meat Portioning in 1996.

Stratis - Herzlos

I think this self-released CDr from 2004 by German minimal synth wave duo Stratis compiles tracks from the mid-1980's, but I'm not entirely sure. Maybe some of the music is exclusive and of more recent vintage? In any case, it certainly has that DIY electro charm. Fans of Phonophobia, CH-BB, Van Kaye & Ignit, Andre de St. Obin, early Colin Potter etc will enjoy this as well.

Various - Horrible English Noise




An excellent tape featuring Paul Watson's BBBlood, the totally fucked up majesty of the greatest wrestlers in The World: The Bongoleeros, Tim Drage's marvelously monikered Cementimental, Dog (about whom I know jack shit), Filthy Turd and Mutant Ape.

C32 released on Turgid Animal ‎in 2007.

Double Leopards - Gematria




For some really random reason, this is listed on Discogs as having contributions from side projects of Double Leopards. No idea why. The only information on the packaging or tapes is "Double Leopards", "Gematria" and "Heavy Tapes". Go figure.

Double C20 set released (unsurprisingly) on Heavy Tapes in 2005.

White Rock - The Exploder




Frazzled hypnagogic brainscapes created by Brian Sullivan (aka Eskimo King and was in the likes of Basalt Fingers, Mouthus and Spectre Folk), Maya Miller(aka Black Quarter and was also in Double Leopards and Religious Knives), Mike Bernstein (aka Workbench and was in Double Leopards and Religious Knives as well) and Nate Nelson (aka Afternoon Penis and was in Mouthus and Religious Knives). I reckon that gives you a pretty good idea of what to expect.

CDr released on Our Mouth Records in 2006.

Various - Eight




Even the most casual non-observer would know that me and The Good Lady Her Indoors™ always bend a reverent knee at the altar of John Olson and all that he surveys. A certified genius has given us an avalanche of American Tapes releases that we had never heard before (and that takes some doing). So basically I have done nothing else other than listen to the lot and very enjoyable it was too. Hopefully, they will start to appear here at some point. So, erm yeah, not posted for a while but it is nothing more sinister than I've been listening to a lot of great electronics. So without further ado ...

Dieter MĂĽh, Jazzfinger, Britannia Anonymous Society (I can't shed any light on that at all but that side of the tape is very good ...), Cheapmachines, Nackt Insecten, Astral Social Club, Usurper and Romance.

It's a really rare quadruple C40 set jointly released on Harbinger Sound and Carnifex ‎in 2007.
