DESTROY ALL TIE FIGHTERS: C60 tape

behalf of musically incorrect records (MIR#6),
it was an split release with skullpture.
DIETER MUH: doin? it dresden style
(HYSTER02, 2003)

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.

feedback

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)

guitars bowed and vocals)
mosaic antenna (very taped recordings of rumblings of odd
lo-fi objects in jyv?kyl?

2007)

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!)

UP AGAINST THE WALL, BABY!!

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.
1,5e + postages
RE-CLIP: notes (HYSTER08, 2009)
*superb 50+min selection from a vault of 10 years (1999-2009) 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 erroneously
call your home.
editon 0f 50 copies, recyckeld dapes. all done and done.
SECOND ONE compilation tape (HYSTER09, 2010)
*about 60min compilation of sounds from finland, czech and USA.
artists are: aiko, crank sturgeon, re-clip, cleavage, hiss nausea
and varropas.
expect deep washing drone work-out, crazy rural sound/vocal
concretism,
nightshift city ambience, weak guitar noise digging, hoisting of the 13cm,
10000 ton
flag and soothing static guitar + vintage analogue synth slow sleep-o. its
all quite monumental!
possibly edition of 100. on reczcled tapes.
2e +postages

*hiss nausea one man hypno blend of looped vocal excorsism & guitar drone

MELOPHOBIA / NOLLS: split (HYSTER11,

side b: one mumbled vocal,
2 x electic guitar & drums outsanding improck

survive and keep IT super-alive in N.Y.C. with piano and vocals. edit of
50 on recycled tapes.

O T H E R T A P E S:
3V: eki lähti luxoriin 3V kortsuun (TNT-000)
*C40 of no-fi buzz, plombing and sowing from JKL. not that different from
than say THE KOLMAS. highly entertaining.
+ special, uh, handmade, and, well, limited covers made in
30secs at bar Heinähattu.
3e + 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

BIGCITTYORKESTRA: ymir (AGHARTA TAPES 03)
*thirty years! c60!

BJERGA & IVERSEN / EARTH INCUBATOR: split (JZK009)
*on this norway-russia split tape B&I sound like a duet between some
submarine sadly stuck
under 3000ft and a limping dog. on EA side the dog has gone
missing and the submarine has
surfaced - just to remain stuck above sea level day in day out.
3e + postahges
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.

BORIS MORGANA / TANEC HRAC: split (LTJ- 99)
*two fin free rock exp acts, BM live TH not.
4e + postages
BRUZGYNAI / NORMA REAKTSII: split (AGHARTA TAPES #5)
*label description: split tape from Lithuanian and Russian
projects. Perishing frost loops, gongs,
strain, static noise and a hope for escape, these are a few
interpretations of Bruzgynai (eng.
Bush) world. As always, outsider and hardly defeated.
Norma Reaktsii – sharp, cold drone and
mechanical crackle from Russia. Melody of night watcher. Sigh of sleeping
hospital.

CAHIER: vocales (YAK-018)
*perplexed vocal bendings on 4-track with piano and strings. oddly reminds
me of sort of one man gybe!/asmz sound that
the guy from Babylon Zoo might have come up with. and make no mistake,
thats an compliment! very strange tape..
3e + postages
CLEAVAGE: tuplakassu (NO LABEL)
*two (2) C60 cassettes, blue and red, full of slowly spaced out fuzzed
impro analogue/other synths and machines.
a wonderful, bent, silver haze for days and days.

CORNUCOPIA / CARLOS VILLENA: split (MATRICUM-016)
*C20. pretty straightforward drone from spain i suppose.
4e + postages
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. (3/2011 note to business-men: they seem to sell this
tape for 12e in discogs - so thats 8e of profit right there!)

DI MAISSINTÄHKÄ: kuka täytti pöllönraadon kiehuvalla ketsupilla?
(TUPLAPESÄ003)
*label description: "Tape includes 21 songs of disturbed kids
screaming and making recording/noise experiments. Recordings from
late 70's early 80's."
well, i suppose thats enough info for you to figure out if you need this
or nor.

GLINA: spiritual safety (JZK???)
slowly pounding almost acoustic muddy psxhedelia from CCCP. highlights
include scary sounding woman telling
something, what she tells might be scary or might be not i dont
know since i
dont understand her language.

HUNTON QUINTET: kuutelus (IKASUS-03)
*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
the name ANTI/UTON some years ago..
4 euro + postages
ILIA BELORUKOV / ANDREY LOMAKIN: split (FON12)
*on I.B side theres one 16min electric guitar work-out that manages
to
sound like its actually made with guitar for
about 4 minutes during the whole length of the track. proper behaviour!
A.L side consists of two about 7 minute items of creepily unidentified
sounds decayed formless beyond description.

tiny pub in vallila,

MIKHAIL ATOM: astroepos (BOP 008)
*moscow-based experimental/ambient musician MIKHAIL ATOM´s finely
excecuted ambient.. well, epos, from distant past.
more accurately from 1998. one damn fine piece of history.

OSSO: Invocação (CM003)
*one sided tape of weird n sickly quite minimal abstract noise &
experimental ritual music from portugal. pretty intense affair
actually.
4e + posgates
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.
3e + postages
PAWNED PAJAMAS / GOLDEN CUP / TWILIGHT OWLS / FLAMINGO CREATURES:
split (FON4)
*4-way split of psych experimental drone ambient from 3 different
countries. with projects named like that you prob
can figure out that the
tape is full of pleasantly blissed-out weird nocturnal sounds.
and it wont even matter if its
nocturnal day or night youre in while listening since sun = moon.
excelent listen!
3e + postages
POLYPUS ACEPHALOUS: s/t (YAK-???)
*freak, forest or weird lo-fi folk clank from russia. comes inna neat
cloth bag, onna nasty golden tape with a pin.
3e + postages
RAINBOW VALLEY / VARROPAS: split (JZK013)
*C40 of loooooooooong analogue sounding synth ambient and
pretty psyched experimental electronics of kraut-rot.
quite pleasant and good ofcourse but i think i would really prefer it
even more if the act on side A would be
named RAINBOW ALLEY. side B is OK like that and frankly speaking
ARROPAS would sound fucking stupid.
4e + postages
RIDERS OF THE METEOR: s/t (BEMBÖLE CASSETTES)
*instrumental stoner rock & eurovision music with robot as a drummer. i
think
ill have to learn to drive
just for the song "escapenator" on this tape.
you others just buy this tape and put it aside on the wait for
the moment pigs return your licence and/or you manage to steal
another car.

SHIGGAJON / DREAMERS CLOTH: split (IKASUS-04)
*more or less danish sounds, A 38:49 B 29:40.
4e + hostages
SPACE COSMONAUTS: meteorite (YAK-017)
*label says: "lo-fi electropunk from russia. 5 tracks. handmade
painted cassettes: 15 silver, 15 pink."
i agree with that though would like to add that the tapes we have here are
painted gold. not pink, not silver but gold..
so, question arises: were these handmade? i do not know.
3e + postages
STUDYS / RNDMTX: split (t.ed-003)
*both bands involve personel who still are or have been participating in
the past atleast in these following acts;
aiko, vapaa, re-clip, aan, boris morgana, kulkija, kolmipiikki,
rambling
boys, last night on earth,
tulasi, uton, witch christ, two who,
varropas, pollyvox, grey
park, iltasyntsa, basement boys, the magick travelling
backpack band, mustat kalsarit, sangesuga and iltapesu. just to
mention
few.
theres wrong funk of disco electronics, theres spastic and noisy guitars
and then theres wildly inept drumming
and talk of "getting stuff".

SUMMERTALES / OLLI AARNI: split (JZK???)
*C40. excelent folked-out drone-like weirdness from italy on side A and
pretty good oddly melancholic
minimalist ambient hiss n crack from finland
on side B. side A i could easily recommend to everybody, its
really that good & i really think ya all need some magic in yr life.
side B prob works well atleast for you who dig ES (not the drink).. i just
couldnt follow it through really.
4e + postages
THE.BÄND / Z'EV / CARLOS VILLENA: split (MANTRICUM017)
*three-way split, one track from all participants. track A1 includes two
of the personel of track B1. recommended to
people into that old sort of ritual/occult-rhl´yethm ridden early 80s
industrial, noise, experimental, drone etc.
frankly its fckn excelent & refreshing tape to hear in year 2011! is all
Z'EV material this interesting?
have to find out.
and wisely the tape is only 20min / side so it dont have the time to get boring.

THEO ANGELL / GOODWILLIES: split (IKASUS-11)
*C-90 of sounds from america circa 1997-2005 A.D. lots fine!

*skaterock, runaways, skeletons and piccolos. if you dont appreciate this
then youre living all wrong & your children will be next.
4e + postages
TULASI / CALIGINE: split ((JZK022)
*T a fin duo of kutomo and kulkija playing nice mellow & plush
soundspaces/songs,
quite different from the rocking going on on the tape
on ikuisuus-label.
on other side
italian C does a ummm well sort of epic experimental drone-folk
track that
has oddly aquatic vocals. quite impressive,
yet the final guitar theme
felt like it was looped way too long. & that was very very annoying.
otherwise, quite successful piece!
4e + postages
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..
4e + post
WITCH CHRIST / HAARE: split (IKASUS-024)
*OKAY. now, what do you get if you put together a band with UTON, KUTOMO,
KANTTORIPOIKA and KULKIYA?
..trashy free-form stoner-doom instrumental rock ofcourse - what? you
didnt expect that?! well you were wrong! and you
are always wrong from now on! you fool!!
meanwhile on the other side HAARE, as you surely know, is as ever the
one-man fascism destroying forever loving psychedelic
noise drone-excursion of beautifully doomed variety.
this is easily one of the best tapes of this millennium. and mostly likely
of the next also.
