H Y S T E R T A P E S:
DESTROY ALL TIE FIGHTERS: C60 tape
(HYSTER01, 2001)
*all gone already. some of the material got released on cd-r in 2002
behalf of musically incorrect records (MIR#6),
it was an split release with skullpture.
DIETER M?: doin? it dresden style
(HYSTER02, 2003)
*recycled tape, 38min of finest DM live action from yr 2000. recorded in
dresden squat A.Z. Conni. edition of 50. sold out.
XXIII: live at la-bas (HYSTER03, 2007)
*when active totally unknown and now defunct finnish group that got
started as simple harsh trash metal gatherering/beating
exercise and eventually evolved into more "civilized", slightly
gamelan-like outfit which main characteristic seemed
to be the fact that every instrument, whether electric guitar or
piece of scrap metal sheet, is a percussion instrument.
this is the first actual release, recording of their third or
fourth (opinions differ) gig, from year 2004.
about 40 minutes. recycled tape. edition of 50 copies.

YOUR OWN SHADOW BLOCKS THE LIGHT compilation tape
(HYSTER04, 2007)
*C60 including pieces of:
XXIII (sleepy scrap metal percussion, lo-fi guitar amplifier
hum &
feedback
+ some
old weak synth sounds)
kyt?& suihkonen (gently delayed plucked scrapings of the
violin)
culver (lo-fi guitars on top of other guitars &
buzz from UK)
grey park (imitation of life as stern asian man in sound of
space gone quite terribly wrong)
destroy all tie fighters (moving sough & feedback of
guitars bowed and vocals)
mosaic antenna (very taped recordings of rumblings of odd
lo-fi objects in jyv?kyl?
yuriyuri (hi-fi recording of extended exercise on
highpitched analogue whine)
its probably the best thing since free bread!
recycled tapes & edition of 100 copies

GREY PARK: 2 x live at koko theatre (HYSTER05,
2007)
*two gigs played & recorded at koko theatre, helsinki. first one is from
year 2004 and the second almost precisely two years after that.
eerie and oddly cultivated droning lo-fi ambient noise made with
effect boxes, couple of radios, tapes, one
laptop, one vintage synth and
three assholes.
dubbed on whatever. edition of three million copies.

PLEASURES AND DAYS: live (HYSTER06, 2008)
*C30 tape of seriously alienated and politically hysterical
steal©-paste electro-pop-disco. 5 hits recorded live in various spots

coincidence..? YES!)
around finland during years 02, 03 and 04.
on recyloid pates and an edition of 32 copies.

CULVER: they killed suzie carter (HYSTER07, 2008)
*a side 13+ min of splendid and terribly static yet somehow grisly,
psychedelic drone from UK. b side
little bit longer and bit harsher but
more or less the same.
quite the pick for one of those nights when the mirror stops
working the way it should. very good.
50 copies. recycled tapes.

RE-CLIP: notes 99-09 (HYSTER08, 2009)
*superb 50+min selection from a vault of 10 years worth of pretty funky
techno/electro lo-fi clicks, cuts, clippings, tiny broken beats,
odd ambient stylings, home field-recordings and even some quite
mr.oizoesque rhythms.
works very well while you aimlessly wander
thru that desolate, nightly/daily urban landscape you quite erroneusly
call your home.
editon 0f 50 copies, recyckeld dapes.

O T H E R T A P E S:
PASILIAN SAVUT: painostava esiinotto (THISMO3)
*C90. its impossible to describe this one.. its mostly
made with electric guitars and bass and by people who
actually seem to know how to play their instruments, and this time
its a good thing. the tape seems to oddly create an
totally new musical genre of its own, i think they used to call it
"grungejazz" and.. well, thats just stupid.
what ever the genre or no genre at all: this is great,
beautiful & totally original
stuff.

Garbage can compilation volume 1: "ONE WAY" (DOK-04)
*very odd compilation covering atleast spoken word, power
electronics, lofi drone ambient, surreal cut-up noise,
experimental sounds made with C64 and some evil nordic heathen
laptop easy listening noise which all are
bonded together with
constant sinustone that whines through the tape from the beginning
to the end.
artists are: Lasse Ekstrand, Nordvargr, Goto80,
Institut, Grey Park, Empty and Crank Sturgeon.
..more detailed description coming as soon as i get some sense out of it.

BLOODY LETTER: slowdown (TA132)
*C24. short bursts of harsh noise and bit longer slabs of creepy dark
ambient from japan.
works quite well with coffee and thus makes a really
good early morning soundtrack.

DRENCHES: beast purge (TA282)
*C22 of almost ambient, electronic.. stuff? there is not that much
happening here, actually. why not? well, you decide.

UTON: live in death (BREAD AND ANIMALS)
*C40, two live shows recorded in France (w/ Bridget Hayden in Reims) +
odd spoken word/field-recording piece
where some man makes it pretty clear
that its "OK"... both shows are actually surprisingly noisy affairs, this
being
UTON afterall..

DECONDITION: the universal nothingness (FREAK-TAPE-022)
*C-40. (power) electronics from finland 2006. its quite firmly glued into
the more ambient end of the PE pole. for the most part.
theres also some
vocals which sadly just tend to destroy the nice heavy, dark and
dazed feel the loops and soundscapes on
this tape manage so well to produce. maybe thats the point, who knows..
for me they just sound very very ordinary and
unnecessary.

SQUAMATA: rust fetish (FREAK-TAPE-023)
*C20. plain excelent finnish junk + gadgets harsh noise.
4e + postages
ULUL AZMI: I tape (A.T.K.1)
*quite strange combo of deeply religious spoken word ponderings on the
subject of teeth and harsh noise.
28 minutes. on recycled tapes.

HUNTON QUINTET: kuutelus (IKASUS-03)
*special agents Concrete and Stepanoff with guitars, percussions,
synths/laptop, vocals and piano in Porvoo AD 2005.
athmospheric, creepy, devastating and totally disorienting experience. i
think they
recorded some things under
a name ANTI/UTON some years ago..

KANTTORIPOIKA / RE-CLIP: split (t.ed-002)
*17min/side of pretty clever electronic etc musica from
these solo gangsters of new wave of finnish electronic ug.
some danceable, some mystical, some not. its simply the best.
3 euro + postages
BASEMENT BOYS: at the basement (t.ed-001)
*2 x 45min, same menu on both sides. heres an expert opinion 4 u:
"...I feel like I could listen to this kind of ambient Cluster-esque
stuff the Basement Boys are laying out
for a solid two months. Theres no drums or rhythm per se,
but theres definitely a track of something that is
propelling all this stuff forward and I dont think there are songs as
much as portions melding into each other.
I cant even really trace a pure synth sound coming in as much as general
electronics being tweaked for
large portions of it. When beats do start to get integrated, you barely
notice, because the music is already moving you up.
Its just another layer on what becomes kind of a glitch-hop kinda thing that
doesnt rely on stealing
your little brothers Adderall to get into it. Its a long tape, Ill tell
you what, but flows pretty easily.
If you can manage to score a copy, youll friends will be asking you to
put it on at all the next slumber parties.
Guaranteed." 8/10 -foxy digitalis

TWO WHO: kesämaalla / talvikaupungissa (IKASUS-07)

india (good riddance!).
other side recorded winter at the first its all in your mind two
day musicfestival, that time held inna
