A classic, highly sought-after and influencial experimental electronic and acoustic tape from 1981, finally released as a deluxe vinyl LP in extended form with an additional LP to round-up this perfect release - Solo-Works and three more 5ive Ximes of Dust instrumentals by the two genius synth-and-cassette-culture-protagonists and musicians of Dada Computer; Mark Philips, who also ran the Tape-Label MAP-Tapes and Robert Lawrence who ran one of the first Cassette-culture Tape-Labels called Quick Stab Music Products and releasing more than 20 Tapes between 1979 and 1983 for solo and band-projects and like Broken Pipes Exposed or Machines at Last ((Robert Lawrence and Paul Shorthouse), Dean Poole or the better known and highly sought after works by 5ive Ximes of Dust (Robert Larence and Mark Philips), Ludus and the Dada Computer.


This All-Time Classic was described on the Songs to Record and on Mutant Sounds-Blog.

"This staggeringly otherworldly shadowy cousin to Kraftwerk's 'Computer World'.
This actually sounds like a computer, albeit one of those cheap 1980's family computers; - not everyone could afford an IBM in 1981. This is more like computer reality in 1981, and in 2012 it sounds like an alien broadcast.
The voices that appear on this tape are convincingly cyborg-like. Very strange indeed." (Songs to Record)

 

This masterpiece of electronic music made available to me and all of you! Dark experiments with lo-fi minimal-esque electronics. Metronomic rhythms the way Thomas Leer with Robert Rental provided them on their "Bridge" LP, robotic vocals, strange dada-like experiments. Much reminiscent of Leer-Rental, John Bender etc. Amazing (Mutant Sounds)

(members with recieve this Set with an additional 7inch containing Tracks from the Machines At Last-Tape which Robert recorded together with Paul Shorthouse in 1982)
