Energia Astrale "a waterfall in your flight of steps"-(c46 EE Tapes-Belgium -1998)


This tape was recorded in August 1997 in the practise room of the Ex-C.I.M. squat in Foggia. Few people took part in the recording of this tape. There were Simona and Stefano on the didgeridoos, Grillo playing guitar, Francesco on percussion, and Mini on drum machine + Raffaele manipulating mixing desk, effects pedals, & microphones: alternating the sound of the various instruments. It was a long jam session that got re-eleborated by Raff a few months after in another southern Italian town with the use of a 4 track-recorder. Eventually Raff worked on the cover sleeve, and then sent all the package to EE Tapes in Belgium. This label released the tape eventually in February 1998 in a limited edition of 69 hand-numbered copies. By many people it is believed to be one of the nicest and most complete tapes by this ghostly collective.
This is actually the last tapework by E.A. Before this E.A. did release quite a good amount of tapes, and took part in various international compilation tapes. For a full info flyer of the collective E.A.: you`ll find included in this folder an e-flyer telling almost all the activities developed by this ghost project during the 90's. I will send more E.A. tapes for this blog in future. Enjoy this one for now! Bye!

Track listing:

A1 A Waterfall Of Emotions
A2 Prolific Cuts
A3 A Flight Of Steps In Your Body
B1 Dusks Inside
B2 Just Like A Daily Bomb In Your Head

M.NOMIZED-High Technology(ContaminatedProds)


M.Nomized "High Technology" was released as a c60 in 1993 by Contaminated Prods and Cadenced Noise tape labels as a co-production. M. Nomized [Michel Madrange] was a very prolific artist from France. He was the owner and founding member of Fraction studio: an independent label releasing the M Nomized productons (also the ones with the other names used by this artist)+ other productions by his friends. M. Nomized appears on thousands of compilation tapes released in the 90s and circulated through the electronic tape scene, and he was one of the most famous artists from France active in this scene. He was also involved in the mail art network and in the zines scene. His music is a nice blend of crazy electronic,weird pop, and synth experimentation [if we can call it like that]. This tape has been printed in a run of 100 copies by Contaminanated Prods. Not sure how many copies Cadenced noize did. Enjoy it.

Hex Minora vs. Devis G - Nihilist


So there tis a slight deviation from thee theme ov this blog thus far here: [by request] this is thee first cd post here.. have never explicitly stated, but the intention ov this blog tis to post rare/out-ov-print occult elektronikx [now cassette or otherwise..] for y'all.. this is thee first release here to breach thee millenial divide.. we will still continue to post older/ rare occult releases here [do not worry!!].. though also in thee future you can expect items actually composed within thee more recent frame ov lived experience which is contemporaneous with our own..

Also if you have contributions that you wish to make to this blog that you feel would help in this mission ov: un-earthing rare occult elektronik sonorism: WE WANT YOUR HELP!! There are many great blogs that help in fulifilling this mission, and we hope that this may be an additional resource ov help in making lived experience more fortuitous for yrselves.. So without any further hesitations:

Here tis thee collaboration between Hex Minora & Devis G. released on Membrum Debile Propaganda in thee year 2000.. As Hex Minora has been covered here in previous posts in this blog; will take a moment to comment on Devis G. [one ov numerous monikers utilised by this astounding proponent ov occult elektronik sonorism!!] A brief list ov some ov this beast's astounding projekts should include: Dev, Lvnvs/Lunus, TV Satanico/ Teatro Satanico Charles Manson, Necrophilia/ Necrophonie, S. Biasin Trio, Demon Womb, The Dead, Wellenwerkmann Neurosonological Research Station, and Abra Had Abra to name a few.. Thee Collaboration between these two was my first exposure to thee works ov Hex Minora, and was thanks to thee great distro ov Patrick [Skin Crime/Self-Abuse Recordings].. Anyone familiar with either ov these artists should know to expect that thee outcome ov their intermingling shall result in wondrous occult elektronik sonorism ov thee highest order!!

Track listing:

1 Ascension
2 Rupture
3 Void
4 Contrition
5 Rend
6 Amatory
7 Dissolution
8 Canker

Skinflick Productions & Hex Minora - Flowers Of Perdition


Another cassette here from Hex Minora's BV Tapes label.. This time a co-release with S.F.P.D. Records.. Cannot say much really for Skinflick Productions.. Not really personally into their sort of industrial rock.. Maybe other folks may enjoy.. Hex Minora delivers more ov her great dark occult psycho/sexual elektroniks however, and makes it worth thee time to transfer this rare cassette.. Would say this cassette tis not for folks who cannot handle pornographic aesthetics: as it tis a theme heavilly present here..

A1 Skinflick Productions - Kid On Fire
A2 Skinflick Productions - I Married A Prostitute
A3 Skinflick Productions - Hate Rape
A4 Skinflick Productions - Preacher With Soul
A5 Skinflick Productions - I Am God

DSIP-Rebound ( c60-Contaminated Productions -1993)


German duo DSIP [Delta-Sleep-Inducing Peptide] were Dieter Mauson and Siegmar Fricke. They released lots of different tapes during the 90s. Some were totally diy, and some others were released on different tape labels. They were experimenting with digital and analog synthesizers and other electronic devices. Their music is a kind of electronic soundcollage/ambient/drone type. It`s quite difficult to know what they are up to since those days as I have lost touch with them a long time ago. The were surely one of the most prolific acts active back in the 90's in the tape labels scene. "Rebound" was released by Contaminated Productions in 1993,it came out with a colour (yellow or pink)plasticized paper cover as c60 format-released in about 200 copies.. It was sent to various parts of the globe.It features 4 tracks of incredible experimental-half ambient/half electronic music. enjoy it!! at the moment it is a very rare production.

Track listing:
A1 Soporific Range Of Thought
A2 Senescence
B1 Ashford Mortuary (Psycho-Therapy Sick-Ward)
B2 Painful Return

Tem Oph Ab - Psychologische Abwehrfront - H.P. Lovecraft


A sonorous exploration here upon thee strange & talented horror/fiction/sci-fi writings ov author Howard Phillips Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 – March 15, 1937) tis presented by sound artists Tem Oph Ab {Marco Farina / Italy} and Psychologische Abwehrfront {Heiner Gehring / Germany} released in an edition ov 99 Cassette copies on thee German industrial label Innere Erde Gemeinschaft in thee year ov 1998..

H.P. Lovecraft "Drinking Song From The Tomb"

Come hither, my lads, with your tankards of ale,
And drink to the present before it shall fail;
Pile each on your platter a mountain of beef,
For 'tis eating and drinking that bring us relief:
So fill up your glass,
For life will soon pass;
When you're dead ye'll ne'er drink to your king or your lass!

Anacreon had a red nose, so they say;
But what's a red nose if ye're happy and gay?
Gad split me! I'd rather be red whilst I'm here,
Than white as a lily -and dead half a year!
So Betty my miss,
Come give me a kiss;
In hell there's no inkeeper's daughter like this!

Young Harry, propp'd up just as straight as he's able,
Will soon lose his wig and slip under the table,
But fill up your goblets and pass 'em around-
Better under the table than under the ground!
So revel and chaff
As ye thirstily quaff:
Under six feet of dirt 'tis less easy to laugh!

The fiend strike me blue! I'm scarce able to walk,
And damn me if I can't stand upright or talk!
Here, landlord, bid Betty to summon a chair;
I'll try home for a while, for my wife is not there!
So lend me a hand;
I'm not able to stand,
But I'm gay whilst I linger on top of the land!

Disumana Res is the personal project of Guglielmo Lanzilli: owner and founder of the tape label Biotope Art Organization, active in the 90s in Italy and then in UK.

At the time of its recording Guglielmo was living in Naples and collaborating with members of CONTROPOTERE(great industrial/punk collective /band from the 90s,one of the best Italian bands of that time)-in this tape Lucia, (singer) and Bostik (keyboardist) of Contropotere collaborate with him to create amazing "dark ambient-sound sculptures"-Paroxismus contains two long tracks(almost 30 mins each side)-it was released in 1991 as c60 with a very suggestive color collage printed in a photo format cover(included in this file).I will post more Disumana Res in future,for now enjoy this very exceptional pearl.quite rare indeed.

VA - Vexatio Cerebri




Am honored to be sharing here a submission for this blog from thee incredibly generous friend: (Faraway) who shall be contributing more with this blog in thee very near future .. Since he is the one sharing this rare gem; will post here what he wrote for this astonishing compilation ov amasing international artists he has kindly gifted us:

Vexatio Cerebri - International Compilation Tape c60
Released on Contaminated prods in 1994. It came out in a special sleeve made from 2 colour pictures(the little sculptures on the pictures+the pictures themselves) made by Gianni Liquoro,a quite famous tattoo artist nowdays. At the time he was involved in the E.A. ghostly collective. Contaminated prods printed and sent around the world about 150 copies of it before closing its activities in 1998 due to the constant travelling of it's founding member: Raffaele. This compilation was actually compiled by Paulo Maldoror in Portugal, but he passed it to Contaminated Prods because he couldn`t release it on his own tape label at the time. It features some of the most extreme acts of dark ambient/ soundcollage/ esoteric music active in the mid 90s- It is a rarity now and Contaminated Prods people are very happy to know it is now available on this blog.
