Radio Thailand: Transmissions From The Tropical Kingdom
2006 release, repressed! This 2CD set is an exhaustive collection of Thai Radio transmissions recorded over a 15-year period from 1989 to 2004. These 23 collage tracks have been assembled and distilled from dozens of cassette and mini-disc recordings captured on location from the capital of Bangkok to Chaing Mai and Isan Province in the north to Hat Yai in the south. The music presented here is relentlessly mystifying and seductive: Molam, Luk Thung, Kantrum, folk and pop, classic Thai guitar ro…
Radio Sumatra: The Indonesian FM Experience
The music and production encountered here represents a cross-section of Sumatran FM radio and to a greater extent, what's happening now in Indonesian culture. From the signature sounds of Sumatra (Melayu, Minang Pop, the Batak ballad) to the widespread Indonesian phenomenon of Dangdut, this exclusive 'FM only' Radio Collage will leave your skull shattered, wondering why it's taken so long to be turned-on to the modern pulse of the world's fourth largest country. Some of these selections come fro…
Radio Phnom Penh
2005 release, repressed! Cambodia's people, economy, and culture have been 're-mixed' perhaps more than any place on earth for the past 50 years. The name was even changed to Kampuchea and then back again to Cambodia. So it almost seems natural that modern Cambodian record companies have been re-mixing the old classic pop and rock tracks from the pre-Khmer Rouge era, overdubbing drum tracks, and sometimes all instruments leaving only the original vocal in tact. These re-mixes, designed to hold t…
Radio Palestine: Sounds Of The Eastern Mediterranean
From the traditional Nubian sounds of Southern Egypt to the cultured Arabic pop of Beirut, its all here in super-sonic collage: Cairo Orchestral/Greek Sartaki/Palestinian Folk/ Jewish and Euro-hybrid music styles/ Jordanian reverb guitar....all placed deep within the mirage of an 18 year-old time capsule of news, commercials, radio plays, UFO signals, Secret agent messages and chainsaw shortwave. Recorded in the summer of 1985 from Aswan to Jerusalem, this is a cerebral-smashing 65-minute listen…
Like A Frog In Winter
In 2004 while residing in Providence, Dominic Fernow of Prurient and Hospital began compiling Like A Frog in Winter, in response to his perceptions that noise had become rather hi-fi, technological, and cold--entertainment rather than entertaining, something clean, something stimulating. Fernow's choices represent a more psychological, minimal, dismal, and rejected feeling, and calls for a return to the fetishistic and erotic attitude of noise--and a negative one at that. Participating criminals…
Auto Glamour Sound
Experimental punk from Ohio, with BPA (somewhat confused guitar noise with stomping beat), Cointelpro (similar stuff, but more diverse & better, the second song is "real" punk) and 11000 Switches (more stuff in the same vein, sounds a bit like the weirder side of Mission of Burma). Not too catchy but interesting stuff, and thank god they saved us from saxophones and cheap synths.
De Nagalm Op De Kopf
Excellent compilation put together by Dennis Tyfus and featuring a bunch of material that was supposed to come out on the label over the past few years, with tracks from Noise Nomads, Krystal Knight (aka Jessica Rylan/Can’t), Hacky Pack Zac Sac, Mudboy, Cement Future, Happy Mother’s Day I Can’t Read, Cards On My Cunt, Prurient, Ex Members Of Josh Hydeman, Cloaca & Vom Grill, XO4, Burning Star Core, Kites, Defneg, Tumble Cat Poof Poofy Poof, Trashbusters, Anthro Rex, Eris Boros, Bloated Ego And T…

Electroacoustic Music (IV) Archive Tapes, Synthesizer ANS 1964-1
Long out of print, beautiful CD with pioneering electronic music from the period 1964 – 1971, which is a period when the somewhat lighter hand of Nikita Krushchev was replaced by the much sturdier and more repressive totalitarian reign of Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev. This CD is a great revelation to the world outside of Russia, giving insights to the experimentation of sound during that important period, when so much was happening in the U.S.A. (San Francisco Tape Music Center) and Europe (The Stockh…

People Who Do Noise
People Who Do Noise is a film about the experimental music of Portland, Oregon. Extensive interviews and intimate performance footage provide an intense portrait of the motivations, emotions, and ideas that go into this uncompromising, sometimes brutal musical form. Unwavering in its focus, the film brings to light an art form unfathomable to many, with only the words of the musicians themselves providing any explanation for the pulsating sonic chaos they create.The film takes a very personal a…
Radio art
A long deleted artist record anthology by Nicola Frangione, issued in a handful of copies back in 1997 "During the last 30 years Action Art has found fertile fields of confluence between the experimentation about vision and gesture and poetic- visual sound dramaturgy. A large space of this research has been characterized by the connection of Performance Art with the arguments connected to the poetics of the “total poetry” and by the development of the performance technologies in a technologica…
Italic Environments - Project By Nicola Frangione
another thought to find early compilation by Nicola Frangione, more into droney and electroacoustic vein than the previous, it might reminds the early Franco Battiato music sometimes...highly recommended
Mail Music
An amazing LP conceived and compiled by Nicola Frangione, back in 1983. In the spirit of the Mail Art movement of the 1980s comes the Mail Music project. Collecting 47 sound art samples sent in from around the world, Nicola Frangione compiles them together in a pastiche manner similar to the Distruct LP compiled by P16.D4. Each side is one continuous track and the individual sound submissions which are approximately 1 - 1.5 minutes long, overlap giving the impression of a collage work. This was …
