1: a big welcome to new crew member Tom7865. a seasoned navigator, since coming aboard he has already taken us to some strange and wonderful places. look forward to imminent new directions.
2: GraspRelease was released for getting (way) too drunk on shift but we had to grasp him back because his knowledge and wit (not to mention tolerence level) is rare and irreplaceable.
3. Team: i think we should sign our posts from now on. because for some reason people still think i'm the only one here, and a lot of stuff upped by you guys gets attributed to me. so please just write your name at the end of a post -- nobody reads the small print below.
4: think it's high time for a complete renovation and I'm going to go on a mission of re-upping all dead links on this boat. what y'all tink? might take some weeks. if anyone can help, crew member or passenger, please drop a line of what you intend to do. i will work from the beginning.
i think that's it. cheers to everyone.

Reich early works.........
Steve Reich
Early Works (1987) [Compilation]
In 1965 in San Francisco, partly inspired by the phase experiments of Terry Riley's In C, Steve Reich was playing around with two identical tape loops he had recorded of a black Pentecostal preacher. Letting the loops go slightly out of phase, he became mesmerized by the complex sub-rhythms set up by the interference, the voice morphing into a pulsing Minimalist music. It's Gonna Rain lifts those three words out of the sermon, turning them into a rhythm -a flickering repeat that shears into depersonalized cyber tones. In a longer sequence, about people beseeching Noah to let them into the ark, the tape subdivides into eight loops of garbled counterpoint. In 1966 he pushed the voice of Daniel Hamm, arrested in the Harlem riots of 1964, even further towards a morass of hypnotic vibrations around the phrase "Come out to show them". A Techno prophecy
(FYI- this was #10 on The Wire's 100 works that set the world on fire while no one was listening)

Oliveros.....
Electronic Works
Pauline Oliveros
1. I of IV (1966)
2. Big Mother Is Watching You (1966)
3. Bye Bye Butterfly (1965)
from boomkat-
Another crucial collection of early electronics, this comes from American female electronic pioneer Pauline Oliveros. Oliveros was a composer and accordion player who sculpted experimental electronic music in a totally unique manner - as meditations on a certain subject or other. Developing her own techniques of recording and processing electronic instruments and also building her own synthesizers, Oliveros managed to come up with a sound which was way ahead of her time. Indeed listening to these three pieces (recorded in 1965 and 1966) makes me think that they could have been recorded yesterday - the ideas and concepts are still being explored now and are totally relevant. The first piece on the disc 'I of IV' is played in real-time using oscillating tones and tape loops to create the epic world of noise and ambience we, the listener, get to hear. It's a captivating world of echoing astral sounds, something like early Radiophonic Workshop but without the reliance on 'themes' or repetition... the improvisational aspect of this track is key, and it builds and grows in a way that would only occasionally be mirrored. The second piece 'Big Mother is Watching You' is even longer at over half an hour, but is no less compelling as tape loops of decomposed noise and concrete sounds make up a sludge of devilish audio. This is proto noise music at its finest, music that could still stand its own ground against modern noise acts such as Hair Police (who this piece sounds closest to I think...). The best however is saved until last with the 1965 piece 'Bye Bye Butterfly', a detailed composition made from electronic sounds, reel-to-reel tape and samples from Madame Butterfly. This might sound like a peculiar mix, but the end result is something close to Philip Jeck or Janek Schaeffer, with the pitched 'plunderphonic' sound reverberating underneath squealing electronic noise. An incredible portrait of one of electronic music's great figures, this will be enjoyed with a desire to hear more early electronic goodness in the same realm as Delia Derbyshire et al. Huge recommendation!

Second stellar CD of stark, mesmerizing & historical electronic and concrète. "Volume 2 of the music of Rune Lindblad (1923-1991). This CD consists of the remainder of the long out of print Radium double LP. These works cover the years 1962-1988. Lindblad, a Swede, began composing in 1953. Ignored by the musical establishment of Stockholm, Rune went his own merry way, composing over 200 works of electronic music. Limited in the early years to often primitive equipment, he carved out his own musical niche. The sounds were often raw, occasionally scary."

Pure Torture.... or......Death of the Moon....
Rune Lindblad - Death of the Moon
This disc is a reissue of lps on Pogus and Radium. Rune Lindblad (1923-1991) was an early pioneer in electronic and concrète music. Lindblad did not see these genres as mutually exclusive. Important and wonderful works by a composer who represented no institutionalized school of thought. At a concert in 1957, the critics called his music "pure torture." That's why I like him........
1 Party (9:33)
2 Månens Död (8:30)
3 Fragment 0 (9:10)
4 Fragment 1 (11:33)
5 Fragment 2 (9:56)
6 Evening (8:11)
7 Nocturne (6:19)
8 Optica (10:13)
Profile: Rune Lindblad (1923-1991) was born in Gothenburg, Sweden and after extensive art studies started teaching painting and graphic arts. He also graduated in chemical engineering. He first began composing in 1953. Lindblad was the first composer in Sweden to work only with electroacoustic sound material. This was a time when Cologne and Paris were fighting over the aesthetical differences between oscillator tone music and musique concrete on tape. Lindblad however did not see those genres as mutually exclusive. In fact he extended his work to incorporate other media besides music. In 1957 at Folket Hus in Gothenburg, he gave a public performance of his earlier works. Critics slated him brutally and described his concrete music as a "fad" and "pure torture." Rejecting the concert hall, Lindblad began experimenting with optics and sound. The following three years, he produced five works on 6000 feet of film. The last of these was Optica 2. Until the original release of these recordings on the Radium and Pogus labels there had been only two recordings of Rune Lindblad's compositions ever available. One was the single side of a 7" record released in 1957. Rune Lindblad taught at Gothenburg University, and numbered among his students Rolf Enstrom, Ake Pamerud, and Ulf Bilting.

time for Tape Play......
Tape Play
Kenneth Gaburo
"Over his career, Kenneth Gaburo (1926-1993) produced a lot of electronic music. However, works for tape alone are fairly rare in his output. Over about a thirty-year period, ten works for solo tape were produced. Of the ten tape pieces, five were created in the mid-1960s at the University of Illinois, one was created in 1974-5 in his home studio in La Jolla, and four were made in the studio at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, which he directed during the 1980s and early 1990s. Not surprisingly for a composer whose stated aim was to blur the distinctions between language and music, six of the ten pieces feature an overt use of the voice, while two of the 'purely electronic' pieces use timbres that are so vocal in character that one is constantly thrown back onto a consideration of Kenneth's main obsession, the voice. Only two of the pieces, both from the Illinois period, seem to not deal with the voice in any way."

Attilio 'Art' Mineo
Label: Subliminal Sounds
Date Recorded: Early 50s,
Released: 1962
1. Welcome to Tomorrow
2. Gayway to Heaven
3. Soaring Science
4. Mile-A-Minute Monorail
5. Around the World
6. Century 21
7. Man in Art
8. The Queen City

13-24. All tracks as above, but without the spoken word introductions
Origin : 1962 Seattle World's Fair / 1997 Subliminal Sounds
The music on 'Man In Space With Sounds' was played in the Bubbleator. "The bubbleator was Washington State's official exhibit in the Coliseum which housed a "World of Tomorrow" exhibit. The Bubbleator, a 150 passenger spherical clear plastic elevator moved 2.5 million people through displays that promised an easier life ahead. The operator wore a silver shiny space suit right out of a Buck Rogers comic strip and is veeery, very cool indeed and the music to "Man in Space with Sounds" was being played through the sound system. Totally outer space man, totally. "Visitors ascend to the exhibit in a globe-shaped elevator for a 21 minute tour of the future." Visitors to the Seattle World's Fair loved the Bubbleator ride, which was eventually purchased for $5,100 and relocated after the fair's end to the Center House/Food Circus/Armory. In the early 80's the Center House was remodeled and the Bubbleator was auctioned off (amount unknown). The unknown buyers moved it to their home in North Seattle and turned it into a terrarium and that's where it sits today."

a particular time or instance of event (lens blur)
over ten years ago when I got this album, I guess I didn't know what to expect. that's good, right? about 70 minutes of blasted and delicate sheets of guitar, vocal and noise. I guess we can all go on about "shoegaze" as it seems popular w/the kids these days, but this is an album for the seekers, it's blissed but harsh - pedals and a 4-track - it can explode if you stop staring at the light. another sadly OOP...

djzhao ghost dub
a mix from around 2003. if i was to make it today some of the tunes would be different on a couple of sections, but the mix still mroe than holds up. there are some goosebump or just simply bump moments like an ill beat dropping after the long jazz passage. no matter how slick or diverse my digital mixes in the (near) future will be, this thing i made with turntables will always be special.
sorry no tracklist - there are 36 tunes and it would be impossible, 5 years on.
file under:
bleep bass, digidub, electric boogaloo, darkhop, cabbage beats, alien jazz, triphop (?!?!), bionic reggae, mutants rap, call to arms, psycho drum'n'bass.
first 30 tracks
last 6 tracks
