T.A.G.C. - Meontological Research Recording - Record 1- Sweatbox

I admit the cover really catches the eye !! really obscure ain't it !!! Well the cover does not lie this release is totally dark obscure late 80's experimental , but jeez what a mind twitcher !! Probably not the friendliest record to start the day with , but does hit the spot after a long day in city mayhem and the need to get all that 'shit' out !!!! It is by no means an aggressive album , but crawls on you like a crab on bad acid !! great stuff .
Side A recorded December 13, 1986 in Berlin. This work was further manipulated and later entitled Test Tones . Side B is an abridged live version of the soundtrack for Burning Water, recorded February 14, 1987 in Berlin.

Ivan Pequeno-Ahora!- Eleven

Chilean native with this remarkable album on the small french label Eleven.

Multi instrumentalist Ivan Pequeno was born in 1945 , in the 60's he moved to Paris to continue his studies , and worked with Max Deutsch, and Jorge Arriagada.

This is the only album I know from Pequeno , though I did discover him from a retrospective CD of Chilliean Electroacoustic music.

Totally brilliant , electronic and concrete with strong socialist message . Pinochet led Chili was no happy place.

I hope Mr Pequeno won't mind that for the audio sample I allowed my self to put the whole of side A.

Gary Kail / Zurich 16 " Creative Nihilism" Iridescence 2XLP

One of those unfortunately rather unknown records by yet another rather unknown artist , Gary Kail . For the books Zurich 16 is none other then Gary Kail this time joining forces with friends and fellow artists.
Gary Kail is a mystery to me , this is the only recording I know of his , some other works seam to have appeared on some early 80's tapes , but apart from that .................. I have no clue !

All I hope is that he is still doing music somewhere and did not fall in that broken dreams category , which really does happen 99% of the time , leaving that dreaded 'complete 'bollocks' 1% of horrific music!!!!!! but hey hey who am I to judge ! The music I love inspired me to start this blog in the first place !!! but so did the music I hate !!!!!

Recorded between 1979 and 1983 at the New Underground Recording Studio. and spread on 2xlp (one Gary Kail and other Zurich 16)

This is all fun tape manipulations , DIY , Field recording , experimental , concrete must have album .
