1983-01-07 Noise Crisis


A very early approach to sounds and noises playing the role of music. This is 1983 after all, and before New Wave even happened. This is a nice mixture of early sound music, and it stands up well after all these years and it becomes a bit more electronic as it goes along. Well done, if I do say so to myself.

Music included: Kraftwerk, Computer Love, Robots, Art of Noise, China Crisis, Brian Eno, Eno & Fripp, Bjorn Lindt, Jon Hassel, Edgar Froese, and a lot more.

The date is almost illegible but this is how I make it out. Nice warning that people might be offended. Well, it was 1990, let's remember.  Wow, this has a lot of very interesting but very strange music. A good mix this week.


Music included:  Severed Heads, Sleep Chamber, Commodity Fetish (remixes), Pankow, Chris & Cosey, Throbbing Gristle, Legendary Pink Dots, Residents, Consolidated, Women of the SS, Tasteless Cuts, Psychic TV and a lot more.

0000-00-00 - Police State

Not knowing the date doesn't really matter, because the threat of the police state is, like poverty, always with us, or so it seems. This is an 90 minute exploration of that idea -- the police state that is hidden and the police state that is not so hidden. As befits this program theme there is a lot of proto-industrial music along with some harsher beats and dance music as well. This is an ass-kicking musical experience.


Music included: Horde, Thick Pigeon, Hula,  SPK, Spig, Graeme Revell, Aqsak Maboul, Current 93, Noizeclot, William S. Burroughs, Axis, Sleep Chamber, Data Bank A, Blackhouse, Chrome, Chumbawamba, Masked Men and a lot more.

000-00-00 - Never Ending

The famous Roland 909 drum machine. Responsibl...Image via WikipediaAnother one of those cassettes without a date.  No idea what this is all about except for the title on the tape case.
The program consist of some softer techno music with some atmopsheric qualities from song to song. I do recognize some Air Liquide in there. There was a rebellious phase I went through when I did not read a play list, which now I very much regret. It sounds very nice even without a play list!

0000-00-00 - Global Broadcast

I do not know the date and I can barely remember the situation. The cassette tape was unmarked except for the show title.  It seems as if the power was off and we were not broadcasting, but I went ahead and did it anyway.


This is a unique situation because I did not seem to play ANY songs that I now recognize during this show. Very odd that this would happen, but then this was an unusual day.
