MINATURES-V/A, PIPE RECORDS, LP, 1980, U.S.A

minatures


V/A- Miniatures
1980. Pipe records
A sequence of 51 tiny masterpieces edited by Morgan Fisher. Amazing collection of mostly British composers and sound explorers. Everything from abstract poetry, jazz, experimental, avant-rock and more. It's impressive to see the amount of creativity these artists back into a 1-minute (or less) piece. You can hear them having fun with the work and doing things they are not normally used to doing, full spectrum of composition, sound and explorations. Each track is wonderfully commented on by label owner and project producer Morgan Fisher. Stand out tracks for us were Andy Partridge, The Work, Fred Frith (who squeezes pieces from every Henry Cow song into a power mash up piece!) Metabolist, The Residents & Mary Langford.

nice production and female vocals that add nice accents to the music in a treated voice as instrument style.

2.3 CHILDREN- THREE S/T 7", 1982, U.S.A

2.3












































2.3 children hail from san francisco these three 7 inches were on penguin records all dated 1982, 2.3 make some very strange, creepy and hilarious music "other peoples l.p.'s" for example is arguably an overlooked funnier than all hellbent classic for any record nut, other favorites include "drunk in the afternoon" and "harry bop slow" although relevance of these folks is some what an obscure topic i imagine 2.3 sharing couch with the residents, chrome and other s.f. comrades serving up the same brand of neo political or not.. wacked out lunacy!! i believe these three 7 inchers to be there complete discography however any help or info on the group would be very welcomed.... if you are in the mood for a laugh or just want to hear some very interesting and bizarre music give em a try.

SURFACE MUSIC- I AM A JANITOR/SLIM BOY, RED ROSE, 7", 1980, U.S.A,

surfaces






















two excellent innovative s.f. snotty punk jams with synth gravy and pop feelings fans of devo, testors, electric eels etc. killed by death stylings..... mighty likes it.

ROBERT W. BOYD- $ 5 KEYBOARD MUSIC, CASSETTE, 1994, U.S.A.

5dollar






















Im still not sure if cassette's title is meant as- "this tape is only five dollars and you get all this great keyboard music".. or if it's more of a "i made all this music using a five dollar keyboard " either works for me, the talented robert w. boyd delivers some compelling albeit odd tunes on this "keeping it weird" cassette filled with 14 interesting, cryptic and original compositions with one cover of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's flight of the bumble bee.

4 track casio muzak anyone?

favorites include brass celesta kalimba jazz, synthetic voice/electric piano melody and pan flute slow melody. sanity muffins indeed.

DOUGLAS BENNETT-YOU WERE ON MY MIND, ONE SIDED 12", LP, 1982, U.S.A

I have found one other album by douglas bennett under alias EXIT 16 also interesting but this takes the prize, nothing anywhere on this little GEM........

This could be one of the MORE OUT THERE obscure 12 incher's we have come across
a one sided jammer filled with sparse electronics and a very minimal
early house style break circa 82.. not cybotron but very very weirdly cool ALOT cheesy and super unique, back to playing video games under the influence again here.....enjoy

TOM'S LITTLE BIG BAND-S/T,TGA, LP, 197?, U.S.A

tom























For the last five years, TOM'S LITTLE BIG BAND has been delighting audiences all over the country. with the talents of only two people-himself and a percussionist-he has created what is truly a little BIG BAND sound. Tom's accomplishments as a singer, encompassing every type of vocal music; his reputation as an instrumentalist; his versatility and know-how to control and utilize many sounds of today's electronics- organ,piano synthesizers confirm his success as an imaginative innovator.

absolute SPILLED over the top moog synth madness on these two featured tracks by the handsome tom anastasi and bill lind, one track covers a scorching version of ccr's proud mary in a high paced and spaced moog mood frenzy!!! other song features instrumental version of Aquarius by the mamas and the pappas with bombastic drumming and ballistic organ moogarama, this one will have the peoples over at waxidermy or any other private press/synth nut losing wigs.

this could delight fan's of bruce haack, mr.quintron and silver apples.

David Behrman studied with Henri Pousseur in Belgium. Although he wrote several instrumental works, he is best known for his electronic work and producing several important avant-garde LPs for Columbia.

PAUL DeMARINIS has created numerous performance works, sound and computer installations and interactive electronic inventions. Much of his recent work involves speech processed and synthesized by computers. A recent series of installation works, The Edison Effect, uses optics and computers to make new sounds by scanning ancient phonograph records with lasers.

ANNE KLINGENSMITH takes on vocal duties and has worked with artists david rosenboom and jaques bakeart

TEXICO-S/T, SAGA, LP, 1977, FRANCE

LETEX























ahhh disco!! not for everyone, I like mine a little outside the norm, the more minimal the merrier; i tend to favor instrumentals with long percussive minimal breaks and a a less is more usage of strings while keeping things over the top (i know im not alone here).. while these four little rippers might not qualify as minimal "over the top" works quite well! magic slide is the winner here being quite possibly one of the stranger disco tunes to hit the french dance floor however all four tracks are keeping it weird, complete with sleazy deep french accented vocal and killer production!!
