Various- Take Your Headphones(74)RE.,Unofficial Release(2007)promo sampler lp

Notes
“Take Your Headphones. Private Use. All Rights Reserved. Cosmic News.”

No more info on cover.

Note:
Surely the oddity in the Kosmische Kuriere saga, this was a very, very limited sampler originally released in 1974, devised to introduce Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser’s troupe to the US Market. Very much like “Gilles Zeitschift”, it took fragments of various Cosmic Couriers records and sessions, editing, mixing and splicing them up with spoken messages weird sound effects and even some classical music into a psychedelic headtrip! For sure, one of the most obscure and sought after releases from the krautrock scene. Don’t miss it! Limited to 300 vinyl copies only with handmade cover (including wax seal!) and also includes a 50 X 70 colour poster.. “

Wim Mertens Ensemble a la Estació de Perpinyá,TVE (1987)

Wim Mertens compositor de vanguardia,barreja el Minimalisme,amb la música de camara.

Als seus inicis,forma el grup Soft Verdict,i edita ”At Home”(81),”Vergessen”(82),i “Struggle for pleasure”(83)

Quan deixa als Soft Verdict,evoluciona cap a un estil Minimalista,pro amb un tó més melodic.

Durant aquests temps, va editar

 “Close cover”(1983),”Whisper Me”(1985),”Lir”(1985),i “Educes Me”(1986).

A les seves composicions,li dona molta importancia al tractament de la veu,que interpreta amb veu de contratenor,acompanyat amb una Ensemble que toca música mediaval,amb coros clásics.Gaudeix cantant quan interpreta música.

Wim Mertens,actua amb piano i la seva veu en solitari,o amb un grup de ensemble.

Quan toca amb la Ensemble,la música es escrita en partitura,i molt dificil de interpretar per als coristas tal com ell vol.Traballa amb el Coro de la Radio i Televisió Belga,son 10 personas i canvia constantment de músics,per evolucionar cap a un estil que més l´ agrada al compositor.

Mertens,compositor de Flandes,rep una important acollida,quan actua al nostre pais.

Aquest concert en directe,va ser editat amb una cinta de video VHS,i hi há un cert desacoblament del video amb el audio.Així dons,edité també l´áudio sols,per si és millor.

Nick Cave,The Berlin years

On those earlies times with Boys Next Door,and Birthay Party,Nick Cave was acting on scene,like a possesed soul,it seems he mades a pacte with the devil.

While he was an heroin addict,it was a very dificult thing to substain an addiction.It just shows the desperation about been a junkie,and the issues than carries.

The post-punk music was great,played with good guitar musicians like Rowland S. Howard and Nick Harvey,and recorded memorable albums as Boys Next Door LP,and Birthay Party“Prayers on fire” and “Junk Yard”.

The Boys Next Door-Hee Haw 12″ Missing Link,Australia (1983),12” in WAV 16 bits

Living in London,he was a friend of the Fall,and The Pop Group.

When drugs just gone,asked to Nick Harvey,if they should start to made a new band,The Bad Seeds .

In those times,left London and gone to live to Berlin.

He starts to play the piano,and sing good bluesy melodies,also writes a book,”And the ass saw the angel”

Meets with the artistic society in Berlin,the nightlife scene,and mades good friends and collaborators like Christian Emmerich,of Die Haut.

Made a really special songs and recorded new records with incredible music and soul good taste.

Nick is very talented and artist genius.

During those couple of year in Berlin,releases the next albums:“The Firstborn is dead”(Mute 1985),
“Your funeral… my trail” (Mute 1986),“Kicking against the pricks” (Mute 1986),and “Tender Pray” (Mute1988).

Here it´s a documentary about the Berlin times,

Eyeless In Gaza,UK New Wave band earliest days

Pioners of the Synth/Electronic bands I followed the band,purchase their lps and went to the gig concerts,too.

In 1980, after releasing some experimental/industrial DIY tapes,Martyn Bates formed Eyeless In Gaza with Peter Becker .

Exploring experimental/Electronic territories from filmic ambience/atmos to rock, the duo start with several albums on Cherry Red records,

– “Photographs as Memories” (Cherry Red BRED 13, Jan 30 1981, Lp)

-“Caught in Flux/The Eyes of Beautiful Losers” (Cherry Red BRED 18/12 BRED 18, Sept 1981, Lp/Ep12”)

-“Drumming the Beating Heart “(Cherry Red BRED 36, July 30 1982, Lp)

Here it´s a live recording from this early style,sourced from a cassette tape.

Eyeless in Gaza-Developing Negatives,11-04-1981

Cassette recorded in WAV 16 bits

A lot of experimentation,atmospheric moody landscapes,Martyn Bates voice sings property but in very high tone,point me as close to other UK PostPunk/New Wave bands,like Joy Division,Cabaret Voltaire,or Durrutti Column.

“Rust Red September”,it´s an important change of Eyeless in Gaza history,as it is.
It´s damned good ,and the music gets more pop feeling,moved away from the early electronic dark synth,albums debut.

Becker´s ability with keyboards and arrangements,mades an synth/pop album,without been easy listening.
Them,Eyeless in Gaza albums of the 80´s are fundamental,of their whole discography.

Here it´s a live recording from this evolution to more pop oriented style,recorded “on air” from a cassette on Wav 16 bits audio.
