excellent triple lp / 7” box containing music from 5 separate cassette-only releases on the pre-selektion “wahrnehmungen” label by label-heads p.d. (later known as p16.d4.). A gorgeous set, the first thing on vinyl on demand i’ve been inclined to stock (although i imagine i’ll be bringing in more of these records over the next few months.) those wishing to witness the birth of the selektion universe via a... selektion of noisy, lo-fi tape experiments & general pre/post-industrial sound-smithing should look no further.§
members of the group p.d. (later renamed p16.d4) founded the label selektion in 1980. using the name wahrnehmungen the label released 19 cassettes in 1980/1981. the tapes mostly presented experimental projects by members of the group and their collaborators. this set features 5 of these cassettes, each taking one lp-side. lp-side 6 can be seen as a virtual cassette: p16.d4 recordings from 1981, here released for the first time ever.

Monolitica ristampa celebrante il venticinquesimo delle edizioni dell’etichetta tedesca Wahrnehmungen (‘percezioni’), progetto propedeutico alla Selektion fondata da membri dei grandi P16 D4 e ora gestita da Ralf Wehosky
