Death in June - Paradise Rising CDEP (New European
     Recordings UK) 31 minutes, 6 tracks. $6

Fixated "The Seven Inches of the Apocalypse" (Complacency)
     $7.50. Beat/sample-driven side project of Illusion of
     Safety's Dan Burke. Ever lain awake at night wondering
     what IOS would come up with if they got signed to Wax
     Trax? Wonder no more!

Forever Einstein "Opportunity Crosses the Bridge"
     (Cuneiform) $6.50
     All compositions by C. W. Vrtacek. I think this is
     what they call "math-rock"? Innovative time signatures,
     frantic pace, crisp execution.

Gibbs, Michael "Iron and Silk" (Mute UK) $5
     Soundtrack to the film by Shirley Sun. Dynamic keyboard
     pieces with an occasional Eastern flavor.

Grill "Light" (Permis de Construire, Germany) $8
     Very good Godflesh-inspired beatbox/wall-of-noise
     guitar stuff. The drum programming is simple but
     very effective and the guitars get some amazing
     sounds/textures squeezed out of them.

Hunting Lodge "Will" (Dark Vinyl Germany) $11
     Reissue of the first HL album, originally on S/M
     Operations. Hard, dense industrial electronics
     crackling with intensity. Features contributions by
     Masami Akita (Merzbow) and Francisco Lopez as well as
     the last tracks recorded by HL (1990).

Hunting Lodge "Necropolis" (Dark Vinyl Germany) $11
     Reissue of the "Nomad Souls" LP, plus the amazing
     "Tribal Warning Shot" single. Desolate soundscapes
     with spooky tribal-like percussion. Liner notes by
     Graeme Revell (SPK) and HL.

Kristof, Gabor "Le Cri du Lezard" (Made to Measure/Crammed
     Belgium, v.25) $6 Beautiful, sparse and lyrical
     compositions for acoustic guitar. Soundtrack to the
     film of the same name by Bernard Theubet.

Lab Report "Unhealthy" (Invisible) $7
     Nightmarish drones/walls of noise, with guest
     appearances by Genesis P-Orridge of Psychic TV
     and Lydia Lunch.

Maximal Brain Dysfunction "Wind Auf Blut" (Hypnobeat
     Germany) $8.50 Out of print. Experimental
     percussive noisescapes a la Einsturzende Neubauten.

Mynox Layh "Save the Anima" CDEP (Hyperium Germany) $5
     Intense techno-ish remixes of three compositions by
     the best orchestral-industrial group around today
     (remixed by the group themselves.)

Nada "Awkward Y Borracho Core del Todo" (FEP/Charnel) $7
     Thick layered guitar/electronic/drum machine sludge.
     Interesting and well done.

Newman, Colin "A-Z" (4AD/Restless) $7
     Wire vocalist solo album - post-punk with an
     experimental edge. With two previously unreleased
     tracks and three more from 12" singles.

Nocturnal Emissions "Befehlnotstand" (Dark Vinyl Germany) $10
     Reissue of the 1983 album on NE's own Sterile label.
     Lineup is Nigel Ayers and Caroline K. Prototypical
     industrial electronics.

Nocturnal Emissions "Songs of Love and Revolution" (Dark
     Vinyl Germany) $10 Reissue of hard-to-find album from
     NE's mid-period politically-charged phase (1985). Guest
     appearance by Steven Tanza of Bourbonese Qualk.

Nocturnal Emissions "Binary Tribe" (Staalplaat, Holland) $9
     One of their most recent albums, this time with a more
     sedate techno-ambient flavor.

Phallus Dei "Cyberflesh" (Dark Vinyl/Paragoric, Germany) $9
     The ritual electronics of "Pontifex Maximus" have given
     way to this, a diverse collection of everything from
     ominous purely electronic compositions to guitar-driven
     industrial songs. Salvador Dali is claimed to have
     contributed some "vocals" :-) and Adi Newton of Clock
     DVA some lyrics.

Pore "Notation" 5-track CDEP (Permis de Construire, Germany)
     $4 Distorted industro-metal, a bit like
     Controlled Bleeding's Skin Chamber side project but a bit
     less heavy.

Premature Ejaculation "Anesthesia" (Dark Vinyl Germany)
     $9.50. PE is the experimental noise side project of
     Rozz Williams of Christian Death. Dark, tortured
     sound collages.

Sakata, Akira "Mooko" (Venture) (Out of print) $7
     Produced by Bill Laswell. Noisy, dissonant jazz
     propelled by Sakata's squaking sax/clarinet.

Sharp, Elliott w/ Carbon "Truthtable" (Homestead) $7.50
     Wild, angry, dense experimental rock. Zeena Parkins
     contributes on her electric harp.

Stereolab "Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements"
     (Elektra) $7.50

Trance "Audiography" (Staalplaat Holland) $10
     A collection of sombre, dirge-like electronic/textured
     noise pieces.

Tuxedomoon "Pinheads On the Move" (Crammed, Belgium) $10
     A huge compendium (20 pieces) of early and hard-to-find
     pieces by one of the definitive early experimental
     electronic bands.

U-Totem S/T (Cuneiform) $6.50
     Highly adventurous and truly experimental music that
     sounds like it owes as much to Stravinsky as to any
     rock band I can think of. Very diverse instrumentation.
     They used to be called the Motor Totemist Guild, I
     think.

Various "The Pact: Flying In the Face..." (Asafoetida) $8
     14 pieces by Death In June, Blood Axis, Fire & Ice,
     Life Garden, Instagon, Necromantia, Not Breathing,
     Strength Through Joy, etc. Booklet includes a page
     by/on each artist.

Date: 05 Feb 1996 07:21:47 -0800





I just bought a bunch of those really crappy tape envelopes with the
useless bubble-pack stuff glued to the inside.  I can barely manage to
get a cassette in there, let alone all the pamphlets and things I like to
mail out with my cassettes.

Well, actually I *can* get quite a bit of stuff in these things, but it
takes longer and I have to fold everything up real small.

But still, I want to get these things out of my sight as quickly as possible.

So here's the deal...

The CHEWING FOIL tape which *was * $6 is now $4.  I think that's about
cost or something.  I haven't done the math.

If you don't know what Chewing Foil is, it's a sorta anti-music SubGenius
band.  Most of it is punk rock and noise guitar backed by computer drum
tracks with additional noise and samples.  There's also some pretty good
experimental stuff, if I do say so myself.

You also get as much Vision Temple literature as I can squeeze in there.
Such a deal!

This offer expires Feb. 29, 1996, or after I've sold 10, whichever comes
first.  U.S. cash only please.

Id like to take more time with this letter, and I wil later hopefully.
Just a comment now.

As far as improvisation and its relationship to recording, I would
disagree with your assumption that performance is the center of
improvised music.  This is only one approach, and its valid to point this
out in respect to certian musics, but untrue for some others.  Ive done
tape work, recording it, mixing it, in real time.  I think that these
things can be done outside the realm of "performance".  Some of the best
recorded material that ive heard is things that are mixed in a
semi-improvisational process.  Ive done it myself, so I know its possible.

Performance, as a totally different subject, is quite interesting and
curious.  I am not interested in performance, as a primary link to my
music, and I would say that there are others out there the same, who
improvise as well.  I am not interested in the practice of playing
guitar, or playing the organ, or things of that matter, I am interested
in the process, the defining factor of sound, which can occur in front of
people or not.  There are many great improvised musics that have only
been recorded, not played as a performance, and they hold up.  I dont
think that improvisation has to be an instant gratification type
process.  It can be meticulous, slow, and even boring (I use that term in
a strange way in this context).  It doesnt need to be in any particular
time format, and I dotn think that it has to be a focus at all, time that is.

well, I wrote more than I thought I would, and even meant to...perhaps
its too jumbled, to underwrought.  Im at work...

apologies to all who get this twice from multiple list subscriptions, but
it applies to both, and many are not on both.

notes on what he says below: jesse b. is jesse bezman who has played with
the cleavers and michael griffin (noggin) and she IS good. otherwise i
agree with all arrington has to say, except that i don't particularly
like old djin swag, i find them pretty commercial/chili pepperish, though
people who's tastes i respect sometimes do like them for some reason.

---------- Forwarded message ----------

again, if you could forward the information to anyone interested, i am
performing twice this weekend, on friday night at midnight sun i will
play with jessie b., violinist etc extrordinaire. i will be playing bass
clarinet. also will be members of Howardian/the Teamsters in some new
formation, and vibration h.q., an improv thing from yakima. you know,
nine o clock or whatever, i think its four bucks...
 then the next night at the corner cafe/evergreen state college community
center Old Time Relijun will play with the Schidt and Old Djinn Swag,
that's a free show of course, and we are hoping to play first so don't be
a damn flake and be late...(9 or 9:30ish) the other two bands are great,
too, so don't be a flake and just leave, either.
   after that, i'm not too sure, but i do know i will be doing a solo
improv show on tuesday feb.27th (candyce's birthday) for the smithfield
cafe open mike.  kent o. says there are two japanese bands coming down to
midnight sun in late feb or march, ask him about it....

Well, I tend to view them not as antitheses so much as as ends of a
spectrum. Little, if any, music is composed so exactly that two
performances of it would look identical on an oscilloscope (tape
music being the (possibly trivial) exception). And little music is
improvised to such an extent that absolutely nothing is known ahead
of time about the outcome -- people usually enter an improvisation
with a known array of instruments, for example, or the knowledge that
it will run no longer than, say, four hours.

I'm not clear as to the difference you're making. For example,
standard jazz is open ended in many respects, but, assuming the tempo
remains steady (and this is getting batted around on the Cage list),
you can calculate that, for example, at 5:32 into the performance,
the players will be dealing with an E flat 9 chord.

I'm quite interested (and focusing my own compositional efforts with
my ensemble nowadays) in what it is about a piece that identifies it
to the ear. While I love listening to Ornette Coleman, for example, I
doubt that, if I tuned into the middle of a performance of ,say,
"Lovely Woman", I'd be able to tell what piece it was.

I'm working with stuff that, in a sense, begins with a *this*, goes
through a *something*, and ends either back at *this* or with a clear
*that*.

Do you mean members of the group putting up with what each other
does?

A recorded improvisation is a whole 'nother thing than either pure
composition or pure improvisation. The listener has a chance to
follow the apparent chain of events through the piece. I listen to
something that I know was primarily improvised rather differently
than I listen to something that was primarily through-composed. (In a
sense, I will accept more slack in the improv.)

Well, it sort of falls in the middle -- while someone could have
through composed what one hears in a performance of Cobra, odds are
nobody actually would. I can't say more than that -- not knowing the
rules of the game, I get mildly frustrated trying to tell what's
going on when I hear it.

I was thoroughly devastated last friday by Diamanda Galas' performance of
her Schrei X at On The Boards in Seattle.  I don't know if she is "on
tour"  but if you want to drown in vertiginous wails you must go see her.
For me, Schrei X is in the league of great electro-acoustic pieces like
Shields' Transformation of Ani: schizophrenic mutterings, jumbled voices
and banshee sandpaper scrapes.

Some critics have groused that the show was brief ("only" an hour...) - but
the music suspended my own sense of time, which is long enough for me.

Just adding my voice to the choir,

Date: 08 Feb 1996 02:10:03 -8000

Came upon an attractively packaged CD today, by someone/thing called
"Propellor."  The packaging (no words on it) looked akin to the
ultra-limited, ultra-fancy version of Aube's "Wired Trap" CD.

There was a store-inserted sticker on the outside that said
"ex-Zoviet France," but no one there could elucidate any further.

Anyone heard (of) it?

It is the latest project by Mark Spybey (ex-ZF, sort of) and apparently
Cevin Key of Skinny Puppy.  Released by Scratch Records in Vancouver.
Sounds more like Dead Voices on Air than their Download stuff.

I'm trying to get the straight story on these Super Roots releases.  Folks
have told me they are old Boredoms rereleased, but based on #1 I don't
believe that.  Why was #1 and not any other picked up by Warner Bros.?  And
which ones are worth my time and money tracking down?

Super Roots #1 is probably my favorite Boredoms release.

No, they're not old material at all, they're all new. There is now
Super Roots #6 being released (maybe just released) in Japan. It
will be released over here, apparently. They weren't picked up in
general by Reprise here because there were just too many of them
for them to schedule, which is too bad. Some of them are great.
Anyway, the newest Omoide Hatoba ("Kinsei") and the new Hanadensha
will both be released in the U.S. by Reprise very shortly.

Also, people should watch for the debut CD "So Wap" by Grind Orchestra,
which is the new group of ex-Boredoms vocalist Yoshikawa. It's
something like Crash Worship meets old 23 Skidoo in Osaka, definitely
an excellent release. It's on Tag Rag from Japan, so it'll be very
difficult to find, but it's very much worth the effort. I expect
that Japan Overseas will have it available in the next catalog.

In Bay Area music news, watch for Angel'in Heavy Syrup here on
either March 18 or 19, opening for Gong at the Great American Music
Hall. Hopefully they'll have another show on whichever day that
one doesn't happen. Also, Kirihito (on God Mountain) will be
playing with Deli Creeps and Kato Hideki+Buckethead at Bottom of
the Hill on March 7th.

Well, I'm only reading this list in digest mode these days, so perhaps
I am a little late in saying this, but: if you are a fan of older Coil
material, try out the latest of their between-album releases, _Coil
presents Black Light District: A Thousand Lights in a Darkened Room_.

It's a partial return to the earlier Coil aesthetic of dirty, dark
textures and rhythms, and features the re-emergence of John Balance's
vocals, but retains some of the minimalism and the spacey elements of
the recent ELpH releases.  No techno, if you like it that way.
Something new, and at least as good as any Coil-related release since
the _How to Destroy Angels_ remixes.  The catalogue number is Eskaton
008, and it's distributed by World Serpent.

Propeller, debut CD on Scratch Records, is as far as I know Mark Spybey
who used to be in Zoviet France. He also does more well-known work
(because it's on Invisible Records, Pigface's label) under the name Dead
Voices on Air. DVOA is the same kind of delay manipulation that ZF used
to do. Propeller is more varied experimental sound, but in the same
genre. And by the way, I understand that the :attractive: packaging is
actually not so attractive - it's a thin metal sleeve treated with urine
(so it will rust?). Unsanitary to handle except inside its plastic bag!

Subject: all wrapped in wires
Date: 10 Feb 1996 16:55:02 -0700


A few strangelt wrapped items have hit my mailbox lately, so let's quickly
run thru the latest in Ronco Noiz Technology:
Remember that the XBScale goes from -1.0  for total debbie gibson crap,
to +1.0 for Bach levels of genius.



Incapacitants  "El Shanbara Therminosis"  (GROSS) cass
heads up kids! GROSS package!  A 45min cassette of the latest high level
sparx from this noiz duo.  Wrapped in fine wire mesh, with some bizarre
scientific slide transparency thing, with thich rich paper always makes a
treat to unwrap.  Contents?  Well, we all know Incapacitants don't we?
This is big noise from the get-go, with various under pinnings of metal and
some beats keeping things varying underneath the sheer blanket of statics.
It's a goody.
XBScale = +0.6

Pain Jerk "Trashware" (PURE) cd
Perhaps lesser known, yet with gobs of tapes out and an appearence on a
GROSS compilation, this is their first CD.  I've got four other tapes
despite not knowing who is in this band, and all are general eletronic
mayhem.  They seem to be delving into the deep pool, trying to be as loud,
thick and cranky as possible.  I think they've done it.  To be honest tho,
if you stole a cut and asked me to listen to it, I probably couldnt tell
you what release it'd be from.
I got this ltd edition of 500 on this cd, and again its wrapped in sharp
wire that I almost cut my finger on, with a shiny silver metal bag.
XBScale = +0.4

Daniel Mensche  "Legions in the Walls"  (TOC)  cd
No need talking about Daniel, we all know his style.  Well needless to say
(also) is that it carries over live as well, with this cd capturing (i
think) 7 parts from live performances.  It's all magically scary stuff for
me.  Seeing the MSBR web page with the GROSS flyers for when Mensche was in
Japan last year made me cry for not being there.
XBScale = +0.7

MxM  "Flesh Biting Paedophile"  (Mother Savage) cass
Got this awhile ago, but I keep pulling it out for some reason.  This is a
collaboration between Macronympha and MondeBruits.  You remember
MondeBruits right?  solo creater with tabletops of electronic cooking, for
walls of loudness?  well, it seems he's doing house music now so this tape
is a fond farewell.  Macronympha Joe adds to the wonderful recipe with his
twisted noiz tastebuds, and the mix is well blended.  I'd say you can
identify individual influences at time, but it all melds together like
liquid glass.  It comes in a spanky silver paper case which is funny to the
touch.
XBScale = +0.5

Merzbow "Green Wheels"  (Self Abuse)  cd + 5"
cool artwork packaging, plastic box also holds this nice weenie 5" record.
harsher and meaner than the recently re-released "Eco-Bondage" of course,
but I wouldn't call it the highest level of Bow volume.  I've got to listen
to this a few more times before if I decide how genius it is.
XBScale = +0.6

Merzbow "Pinkream"  (some uk label?)  2x10"
got I how I hate taping records.  but this is worth it.  little design or
release notes, but I think this, along with "GreenWheels" and "Noisembryo"
could be considered a decent noise trilogy of sorts.  The styles strike me
as similar, yet with different movements and emotions to each.
XBScale = +0.5



Thats all for a lazy saturday.  I hope to be getting the new MSBR and
Incapacitants CDs from somwhere soon.  And a little email told me that
there may be an  MSBR  cass on the GROSS label, sometime in the spring of
1996.
I hope so.
sorry I can't contribute to the intellectual zorn threads and historical
measures against time.

i am not sure if this list is the right "podium" for my question but maybe a

Most newer answering machines will let you record conversations
directly onto the tape/digital memory.  You can then hold a mic up to
the answering machine's speaker to get the conversation into "usable"
form.  The sound will be as good as your answering machine and your
microphone.

Mind you, the Law regarding taping telephone conversations, and
relevant notice requirements (i.e., to the other party to the conversation)
varies from state to state.  Something to keep in mind, if you're
going to tape conversations with people other than yr friends, and
without prior notice to them.

When doing phone interviews, I use a Radio Shack Telephone Recording Control
and a "shoebox" cassette recorder (the cheap kind that plays regular-sized
cassette tapes and doesn't have a radio).  The recording control allows you
to run a line directly into the phone line and into the recorder.  It also
has the neat function of starting to record when you pick up the phone
receiver and pausing the recorder when you place the receiver on the hook.
 It tapes directly from the phone line; my recordings have been perfect for
transcribing with no interference.  The total cost for the set-up was around
$45-$50, but I haven't had any problems so far.

I originally tried a suction-cup device.  You place a suction cup with wire
onto the phone and run the line into your recorder.  However, most new phones
don't allow for this kind of recording, which I found out on my first
interview.

As far as I know, there is no kind of direct, telephone recording device for
those mini-recorders.

    A few days ago I decided to look up the name
Masami Akita (aka Merzbow) in the school library's catalog
and came up with the following (literally transcribed):

Author:  Akita, Masami 1956-
Title:  Sei no ryoki modan
Edition: Dai 1-han
Published: Tokyo: Seikyusha, 1994
       204 p.: ill, 20 cm
Other Title: Title on p. [4] of cover: Modern sexuality bizarre
         Subtitle in colophon: Nihon hentai kenkyu orai

I looked for it in the stacks, but it appears that someone has
either misplaced it or stolen it.  Has anyone here seen this
book?  Are you supposed to listen to "Music for Bondage Performance"
while reading it?

---------

I recently listened to the Dislocation "Peak to Peak" CD (PSF) and
enjoyed it quite a lot.  They describe themselves as a
noise-improvisation band (electric strings, sax, electronics).
Does anyone have any information about them and their other releases?

----------
For So-Cal people:

Super-cool Composer/Performer George Lewis is having his Faculty
Recital on Friday Feb. 16th at 8pm at the Mandeville Auditorium
on the UC San Diego campus.  $7/$5.  Should be good.

If you can read Japanese it would probably be good accompaniment, sure.
I haven't seen this book, but I have one called "Bind" which is a
beautiful hard-cover collection of photos with text by Masami. He's
written several books and numerous magazine articles about bondage,
sexual customs, noise, art and other topics.

They have one other CD, "Carve Another Notch," on Scatter Records from
the U.K. They're both similar, interesting combinations of jazz and
noise feel. Pretty good stuff.

Subject: Lutoslawski's Cello Concerto
Date: 15 Feb 1996 15:25:39 PST

I recently picked up a Polskie Nagrania CD with the Cello Concerto on
it, and got blown away.  This is nothing like the Funeral Music &
Lacrimosa I heard on another disc... everything I heard of Lutoslawski
up until yesterday reminded me of uninspired Ligeti--short,
semi-random blips and pops, ambient strings--sound effects and
interludes, basically.  But the Cello Concerto has got a huge
orchestral sound, really beautiful harmonies and dissonances, and all
kinds of rhythm.  Reminds me of Lindberg's Kraft, or Birtwistle's
Earth Dances.

Any recommendations for Lutoslawski's choral works?

Joy of joys was playing the Cello Concerto and Ustvolsyaka's Grand
Duet for Cello and Piano (Maya Beiser, cellist, on Koch) back to back.
Lovely, incredible, highly punctuated stuff.

Fans of SF-by-way-of-Bloomington legends MX-80 (nee MX-80 Sound) are
encouraged to tune in to Free Radio Berkeley, 104.1 FM, on Tuesday night,
20 February at 11:59 PM as The Space Platform presents 2 1/2 hours of
MX-80 and their spinoff bands O-Type and The Gizzards, highlighted by
much rare and unreleased material.

Selections will be drawn from the band's personal archives, as well as
their Island and Ralph LP's, rare compilation bits, and live material
dating as far back as 1975.  This should be a real hum-dinger for MX
buffs and a good introduction to them for newcomers as celebrate the
forthcoming release of their first new studio LP in 15 years, "I've Seen
Enough" (which will be put out by Atavistic this year...excerpts from the
new album will also be played).

Tune in,

Subject: MERZBOW - 'Locomotive Breath'
Date: 20 Feb 1996 16:31:50 +0000

        Encouraged by the interest expressed on this list I recently
obtained this recording, although the release date is still two months
away. Recorded in July last year for Holland's VPRO radio station, and
aired in the Mort Aux Vaches series, each of the three tracks featured on
this album was improvised live with Merzbow's standard equipment - handmade
metal instruments and analogue electronics set to full power. The titles
('Intercity 215', 'Verocity World' & 'Abstract Ear') apparently indicative
of their influences. Limited to only 1000 copies (on Staalplaat) and
lasting a little less than an hour 'Locomotive Breath' is as intense and
overwhelming as one might expect from Japan's most infamous sonic
terrorists. Detractors will certainly find evidence that the duo's new
music is simply unlistenable noise. What I personally find interesting is
the presence of a more apt analogy evident within the images of bondage
which adorn their packaging - this is the sound of constriction, sensation,
and finally, release. One to watch out for, but don't get tied up over it..

I only know it will have live session recordings from Dutch radio, like
the other releases in the "Mort aux Vaches" series. I don't think it's
released yet. The latest Mort-release was Illusion Of Safety. Staalplaat
release these CD's, so they will know the release dates.

New Artware catalog lists it as being out already on Staalplaat. There is
also an Illusion of Safety recent CD by the same name also on Staalplaat,
I'm sure they are somehow related.

There is also a CD by Jorge Reyes and a split by In Slaughter Natives and
Deutsch Nepal with the same title. They're all recorded for a Dutch radio
show called 'Grand Disco Classique'. I think Merzbow is the last CD in this
series of five.

on Cold Spring (whom i thought had gone
out of business?) that's now available
as well.

i think someone asked for a review of white heaven's "out" recently..  i can
give a basic description at least; pretty loud acid rock type stuff with a
HEAVY american influence, to the point where the vocals are actually
somewhat american-sounding.  i guess it reminds me vaguely of Kousukuya (w/o
female vox) and Leningrad Blues Machine (but more rock-oriented).  I keep
wanting to compare it to Blue Cheer, make of that what you will; it's more
modern than that, with the dense, distorted guitars, but the blues base is
there.

There's another.  The first Borbeto/VC collaboration, "Fish That Sparkling
Bubble" was recorded in the Spring of 1988. "Asbestos Shake" was recorded
late in 1991 after VC added drummer Knut Remond (16-17) to their lineup.

As for "Fish", it sounds great on CD ... everything is crisp & clear.
Definitely worth picking up, whether you own the LP or not.  It was
recorded during the year that Borbeto had a bassist, Adam Nodelman, who's
rumblings add a completely different dimension to their sound.  I think I
like this one better than "Asbestos" ...

No; the first ("Fish that Sparkling Bubble") was just reissued on CD on
Agaric.  Beautiful.

Voice Crack will be in NYC & other places some time in the next few
months... they're doing some installation at a gallery here in NY, but I
know of nothing else.

             This may be a little off-centre, but maybe some elder
        subscriber can shine some lightful guidance. Is the grand
        master of musiq concrete the same Pierre Henry who created
        the fucked up funk collage of 'Psyche Rock', released on
        an album (who's title escapes me) on Phillips in the late
        '60s? If so, what's the album called? Are vinyl copies
        available anywhere?

        Hope you can help..
        regards,

        PS - where did everyone go?
