feline desmond 'seg fridge' 7" (rekem records 09/2009)

a label that started out a joke thanks to my friends thalia & aggelos of 0600am and here's a fridge recording issued as a 7" in 100 copies a couple of months ago under the name of rekem records.

100 copies that were handed all for free.

enjoy!

absurd #28 cdr (tetuzi akiyama, clinton watkins, campbell kneale, richard francis, stefan neville)

i know sounds like kinda 'all nz scene star' & akiyama. i went nuts when richard francis proposed this one 7 years ago and still go nuts each time i listen to it as totally love this conjuction - no matter in the beginning i was a bit sceptic about it, at least upon opening the pack and seeing the line up cos usually am allergic to 'big bands' but turned to be an exhilarating exception this one!!! -

enjoy!

ps: here's the press release too

when i first asked richard francis for a release i never expected to receive a cdr that will set absurd's central on fire! i wish i were present back in late july 02 at auckland (nz) to attend the performance of the quintet of tetuzi akiyama (the well known onkyo guitarist who plays here amplified acoustic guitar), campbell kneale (aka mr. birchville cat motel but also known for his releases on the ever amazing celebrate psi phenomenon playing here guitar sting & amplifier), clinton watkins (aka mr. doe/three playing here the electric guitar), stefan neville (aka pumice, occasionally member of various bizarre nz projects, but also known from his scatological comix series "city of tales" in conjuction w/ clayton noone aka mr. root don lonie for cash playing here intercoms, ukelele & turkish flute) & richard francis (aka mr. eso steel but also 20 city/cmr labels playin' here electronics & microphones), whose sound will blow people who (like me) are dying for the ever beloved nz drone rock scene or bizarre & hallucinating dronish improvisations. dronish background sounds, bizarre improvisations /experimentations, the almost "elementary" playing of akiyama create an atmosphere that will haunt you for the almost 50 minutes that this encounter (sadly) lasts. the more i listen to it the most obsessed i become with it!


ps2: my 2nd found artwork... at the time i was wondering bout it steve of harbinger sent me my distro copies of the small cruel party lp box, boxsets were packed in this piece of carton with this orange footstep which w/out 2nd thoughts 'lifted' as cover artwork. thanks steve!

looper : squarehorse CD (utan titel #1 / absurd # 45)

another fave... i was fond of martin kuechen's work. wasn't familiar with ingar zach's work though but when veliotis handed the looper premaster i was astounded by its sound. must admit that thanks to nikos absurd has issued some of the finest projects he's been involved. actually was supposed to be an editions_zero release however it is as was out with it's 'scaninavian branch', 'utan titel'

download and enjoy delicate & lovely made sounds!!!!

P.D. 'INWEGLOS' (absurd #40)

p.d., p.16.d4, & selektion have been some of my favest & influential projects ever! 'inweglos' had been the record i like a lot since early 90's that i first listened to it at a friend's place, as it combined it all... post punk / new wave (hhhmm you can call it also 'neue deutche welle' perhaps), experimentation, tape techniques, musique concrete elements, etc. that perhaps together with 'tionchor', 'nnnn', 'slp'& 1st sbothi belong to some of my favest recordings from the selektion crew.
under a lust for post punk / new wave stuff sometime in early 00's asked ralf wehowsky if he minds for a reissue or not. pretty funny but at that point he was looking also for someone who might be interested in doing 2 early w volumes (#4 & #5). fancied #4 a lot which actually saw daylight on editions_zero (sooner or later to be uploaded during the week) as i couldn't resist the temptation releasing it and meanwhile he was working on the restoration & transfer of the original tapes to cdr master... some extra tracks are featured too, sadly not the flexi that was coming with the LP.

enjoy some trully adventurous stuff!

nixilx.nijilx cdr (absurd #38 - 2004)

can't recall how i chanced socrates martinis or actually he chanced upon me or something like that... however this was a brilliant recording that landed one day in absurd's hq out of the blue and liked it a lot. since then of course more memorable recordings of socrates's work have been out on drone, entracte and am sure much more is to come.
till then though enjoy this little diamond!!!!
