Our 4th show is curated by a good friend of ours, Y'ng-Yin.
She is a KL-lite with a penchant for the bright and pink.
This show is an extension of her blog / net-radio site Infinite
Frequencies. http://infinitefrequencies.blogspot.com/
A perfect 14 out of 14 selection. All round wonderful pickings.
But there is one track in particular we want you to listen to:
Whitehouse's Wriggle like a Fucking Eel.
If you think your punk rock, hardcore, grindcore, metal, etc. etc.
is so intensely confrontational and subversive, then you REALLY NEED
to check out Whitehouse. William Bennett and co. will
make all of that sound like a bunch of prissy (sissy) mama boy's
choir tunes. And if you don't listen to it, well then, you're just a
bloody CUNT!!!!!
Enjoy!

Listen to the show here:
{{{{{ http://www.yat.ch/emacm/radio.html }}}}}
1) Tom Dissevelt - Glas (1959)
(from VA - Archival series. Archival Series. Musique
concrete soundtracks to experimental short films
1956-1978, Volume One. [The New England Electric Music
Company])
Tom Dissevelt is a jazz musician turned early
electronic composer who played a prominent role in the
Philips artist-patron relationship to popularise
electronic music (although unsuccessfully). This is an
obscure contribution to a soundtrack for a short film
about glass blowing (dir: Henstra, 1959). Oddly,
sounds which upset the fragility of glass. According
to the date of creation, this commissioned piece is
likely to have been produced in the Philips Research
Laboratories (also known as Natlab) which was the
central source of Dutch electronic music creation
until the late 1960s. By 1961, the activities were
shifted to a joint venture between Philips and the
State University of Utrecht for a new studio called
STEM.
2) Organum - Crawl (1987)
(from Organum - Ikon [Robot Records])
David Jackman of Organum has a long history with his
participation in the Scratch Orchestra of the 60s and
creative exchanges with Eddie Prevost. Consequently,
Organum sounds like AMM with more gravity. Listen as
he sculpts layers of dense drones which extend the
mysterious space.
3) Alberto Savinio - Scene: l'homme chauve et l'homme
jeune (1914)
(from Alberto Savinio - Les Chants de la Mi-mort
[Stradivarius])
Alberto Savinio (Andrea de Chirico) is recognized as
the multi-talented brother of surrealist painter,
Giorgio de Chirico. The music by this little known
composer is similar to his literature. It is
whimsical, yet there is the angst of the child who is
constantly in rebellion against the dominant order of
adults knowing the futility of the revolt.
4) Jani Christou - Epicycle II (1969)
(from Jani Christou - Vol. II [Sirius])
This is a late work by Jani Christou which is left
unfinished, and the abrupt ending is analogous to his
tragically brief life. There is a continuum of sound
with events revolving around it as a contrast to the
ordering principle. Yet, there is a sense that the
chaos eventually overwhelms. This track amongst others
by Christou has the ability to reach deep into my most
primal fears.
5) Current 93 - Niemandwasser - Sleep has his House
(2000)
(from Current 93 - Sleep has his House [Durtro])
Niemandwasser is taken from the Sleep has his House
album dedicated to the memory of David Tibet's father.
David Tibet has created a personal universe of
Eastern/Western occultism, Louis Wain, Noddy, etc.
along with his memories of boyhood in Malaysia with
his idiosyncratic style of apocalyptic folk.
6) Nurse with Wound - Fashioned to a Device Behind a Tree
(1982)
(from VA - Anthology 2: Come Organisation Archives
1981-1982 [Susan Lawly])
This track was orginally found on the Fur Ilse Koch
compilation lp released on William Bennett's
(Whitehouse) Come Organization label doubtlessly
fetching $$$ on ebay. A different mix of this track is
also available on Nurse with Wound 'Automating Volume
One' compilation of NWW compilation contributions.
Post-industrial surrealist haunts us with the voice of
a little girl longing for her father.
7) Ordo Equilibrio - Reaping the Fallen, the First
Harvest (1995)
(from Ordo Equilibrio - Reaping the Fallen, the First
Harvest [Cold Meat Industry])
Frozen flesh from the Swedish slaughterhouse. This is
a track from the debut album of Ordo Equlibrio
featuring ex-member of Archon Satani and his
girlfriend. Chilling example of the earlier Cold Meat
Industry sound with ritualistic repetition and an
erotic voice loop. You really should taste this frozen
flesh.
8) Krzysztof Komeda - Main Title (1967)
(from Krzysztof Komeda - The Complete Recordings of
Krzysztof Komeda Vol. 19 : Rosemary's Baby and Vampire
Killers [Polonia])
From the Polish Jazz legend and familiar composer to
Roman Polanski soundtracks comes a chorus of mighty
camp-horror to accompany the Polanski film - Fearless
Vampire Killers (also known as Pardon me but your
Teeth are in my Neck)
9) Magical Power Mako - Restraint, Freedom (1973)
(from Magical Power Mako - Magical Power [Polydor])
Magical Power Mako `Restraint, Freedom' features one
of the earliest appearances by Keiji Haino on vocals
shortly after his involvement with Lost Aaraf. One of
the best kept secrets of the Japanese psychedelic
underground is the Hapmoniym boxed set which documents
MPM studio material created during MPM's teenage
years. Hapmoniym is comparable to the Faust tapes but
surpasses in scope, imagination and existential
necessity. And, the straightforward rock of this track
is only one facet of MPM's diverse sounds.
10) Bomb the Daynursery – Learning by Killing (1982/83)
( from Bomb the Daynursery – Discipline through Mental
Illness [Selbstmord Organisation])
The first historic Bomb the Daynursery / Brighter
Death Now tape release by 17-year-old Roger
Karmanik... death industrial pioneer and Cold Meat
Industry label owner. Roger (my favourite homicidal
paedophile…really!?) is responsible for this ecstatic
throbbing assault which is so terrible upon first
listening that I love it for its spontaneity and DIY
initiative.
11) Whitehouse – Wriggle like a Fucking Eel (2003)
(from Whitehouse - Bird Seed [Susan Lawly])
Developed from the 1980 British industrial
underground, Whitehouse originated the sounds of power
electronics which influenced an entire generation of
extreme sound artists. It is ironic that the band
should be named after Mary Whitehouse, the
parliamentary campaigner of political correctness when
their exploration of gratuitous violence, sexual
anomalies and misogyny have attracted a fair bit of
censorship. This is one of their most accessible
tracks in all its vitriolic excess.
12) Der Blutharsch – Untitled (2000)
(from Fire Danger Season [WKN)
Boys and girls! Der Blutharsch has an accelerated
sense of humour. They are progressing away from their
gloomy industrialized early sound into livelier
realms. This compilation track is akin to a
fast-spinning merry-go-round. Martial music can be
considered carnivalesque with this darkly joyful
track.
13) Death in June – Many Enemies Bring Much Honour (2002)
(from Death in June – Abandon Tracks [Neroz])
Cover of Der Blutharsch track from When All Else Fails
included on D.B. Fire Danger Season tribute album.
This remix seems to be more of the creative property
of DIJ than DB since the original song is completely
unrecognizable, totally rewritten with absolutely no
resemblance/reference to the original except the
lyrics. Death in June - notorious bad boys provocative
for their play of WWII imagery though bandleader
Douglas P. is a self-confessed homosexual and previous
member of anti-fascist punk band, Crisis. Great
romantic neo-folk `cover'!
14) Ataraxia – Elevazione (1994)
(from Simphonia Sine Nomine [Appolyon])
Ataraxia has an appeal to the gothic subculture
despite being representatives of light, love and life.
The music takes us back to a pristine past with its
emphasis on the natural world and traditional musical
forms. `Ataraxia' or tranquility of mind towards the
attainment of pleasure in ancient Greek philosophy
becomes the focal point of this ethereal faerie music. |
