MuhMur Radio Broadcast 11 May 2025.

 


This is MuhMur Radio Broadcast #282.

I am not familiar with Martin Ware's work post Human League, I have read his autobiography so know he went in to pop production and had chart hits with Heaven 17 etc .. but I never followed his work. I heard "A Call To Water" on David Warmer's Institute Of Spectra-Sonic Sounds' radio broadcast and liked it so much I had to hear the whole album. The album (CD) is titled "It's Always Ourselves We Find In The Sea' and is on Cold Spring Records. It's music for an installation of the same name, composed for 3D Ambisonic sound. https://coldspring.co.uk for more information. 


Dave Phillip's CD "Nothing's Wrong" was released towards the end of last year, and I have just managed to grab myself a copy ... Recorded in Lausanne, Switzerland in 2022. It is hardly surprising that Francisco Meirino is also involved. https://flagdayrecordings.bandcamp.com for more information. Flag Day Recordings seems an interesting label worth exploring, I have their release by The Dead Mauriacs but I am now just discovering their catalogue ... "Harnregentraufe" is the latest cassette single from Michael Barthel. It translates as urine drip tray and is a collection of poetri for a full bladder. It was strange as just as the cassette was finishing we had a visit from Alice Kemp whose voice features on the cassette. Michael can be contacted via http://www.recordingsforthesummer.de. We are both hoping for some live UK performances later in the year from Michael. 

                                                           Michael Barthel 'Harnregentraufe'

On This Day in 1980 Industrial records released the 7" single "Meat Processing Section" by S.P.K. (at that time meaning Surgical Penis Klinik). "Slogan" and "Mekano" first appeared on the 1979 "Mekano" 7"EP released in Australia by Side Effects. 


In March Discreet Music of Gothenburg released the final album by Arv & Miljö, simply titled "Arv & Miljö". (Not to be confused with the 2016 "Arv & Miljö" on Förlag För Fri Musik). I have been following Arv & Miljö since 2013 when playing at the Fylkingen in Stockholm I was handed the CD 'Orientering I Denna Värld'. "Rost" is from that album. "Balanskosten I Att Överleva Här Nere" is from the cassette  "Arv & Mljö". (The 2017 reissue on I Dischi Del Barone). Thank you for the sounds Matthias. I am hopeful that a new project will emerge. 

Two pieces from the latest album "Aluxes" by Sequences, the solo project of Niels Geybels. 

"In 2022 I embarked on a cycling trip through the south of Mexico, for more than 120 days I cycled from south to east, from north to west, along the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean. As a 'peregrino' (as they call it over there) I went from one site of Maya ruins to the next, through jungle, mountains and desert. Notebook, camera and audio-recorder always on hand. Two wheels, a tented always searching for something to eat. Alone or with other travellers looking for paths less trodden.
On the lookout for ancient lay-lines while composing a spiritual autobiography. The field recordings I collected ended up on all of the tracks of this album, alongside processed sounds from guitar, tape loops and modular synthesizer. The result is 'Aluxes', a found catalogue of memories.
All music by Sequences. Recorded and mixed in 2024 at De Steeg in Antwerp, Belgium. All field recordings on 'Aluxes' recorded while travelling through the states of Quintana Roo, Yucatan, Campeche, Tabasco, Veracruz, Oaxaca and Chiapas in Mexico between November 2022 and March 2023". 

Please write to Niels at https://audiovisualsatmosphere.bandcamp.com. The album is one of the most played sounds at MuhMur HQ at the moment. 
In 2019 Helen Scarsdale Agency released the 10xCassette box set "On:Corrosion". The box set features full cassettes by Neutral, Alice Kemp, Himakult, Kleistwahr, Pinkcourtesyphone, Francisco Meirino, Fossil Aerosol Mining Project, G*Park, She Spread Sorrow and Relay For Death. Since 2021 Helen Scarsdale Agency has been rereleasing the cassettes on record, with Kleistwahr, Pinkcourtesyphone and She Spread Sorrow albums already out the latest is Neutral's "Lågliv". 


Neutral are Dan Johansson (Sewer Election, Organ Of Corti, White, Amateur Hour) and Sofie Herner (Enhet För Fri Musik, Leda, Källarbarnen). I did ask Alice when he cassette "9 Dreams Of Erotic Mourning" is due for release and she said it would be in the next five years ... probably. 
The second On This Day release is from 1981 and Anthony More's "World Service" 7" ... the single from the album of the same name. 



Another artist I discovered through Helen Scarsdale Agency is Craig Varian and his 400 Lonely Things project. In 2020 they shared a split cassette with Fossil Aerosol Mining Project. Highly recommended if you can find a copy. After a couple of years releasing on Cold Spring Records this year sees him releasing the album "Subdivisions" on the Italian labels Dissipatio and Unexplained Sounds Group. All things 400 and Lonely can be found here https://400lonelythings.bandcamp.com/
Secret Science is the occasional project from Max Kuiper (Les Horribles Travailleurs) and Jacob Deraadt (Sterile Garden). Their latest release is a cassette single dedicated to the memory of Shane Bartlett. 



As I have mentioned previously I am re-cataloguing my collection, it's taking time as I am playing sounds I haven't heard in a while and this included the work of Duncan Harrison. Playing old self released cassettes and CDRs by Duncan lead me to dig out my Plurals records and tapes (etc), and I really enjoy the album "Bugenès Melissae" from 2014. I am not too sure if Duncan had left the Plurals by the time this was recorded but it is a mighty fine album. It is dedicated to bees and bumblebees and all profits went to The Bumblebee Conservation Trust. I remember playing with Plurals in 2010 at a strange pub in Peckham Rye, after a few minutes their equipment failed ... a very short set. A year or so laterI saw them play at Wattsfest in Uffcombe, Devon and were magnificent. One of my favourite live performances of all time. 


AMPH were Andreas Malm and Peter Henning from Malmö, Sweden. They were active between 2010 and 2018. Andreas went on to create Skeppet and Eternal Music Society and Peter was part of Backasvinet. "Polar" is, what we call at MuhMur HQ, a classic. 
Recently I was talking to my friend Tim and he mentioned that the track "Zeitense" by Inade featured a tape sample from the Budd Dwyer public suicide on January 22 1987. I have had this track in my collection for over 20 years and never realised. In 1987 I released the cassette "Budd Dwyer's Cleaning Bill" on Carnifex Recordings as <<A;A;K>>. The story has always fascinated me. If you do not know then please read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._Budd_Dwyer. One thing I did not know until Alice told me is that it appears on one of the VHS editions of "Faces Of Death". I am certain the clip can be found on YouTube ... 
NNJA Riot + Paradox Encounter Group are Lisa McKendrick and Paul Harrison. I played an extract from their recent cassette "Dissent Particles" on last month's broadcast, so, here's a couple more. I recommend highly https://nnjariot.bandcamp.com to grab a copy on cassette, download or CDR. 
I always keep an ear out for new releases on the Helsinki based Hyster Tapes run by Heikke from Nolls / Grey Park. His latest is a CDR by BuffaloMckee + D.D. Dobson. D.D. Dobson is also known as Jim Goodall. I first came across the name Jim Goodall when he played in Whitehouse 1993 with William Bennett and Peter Sotos. I had a VHS copy of the gig with Jim in a 'hippy' shirt and neck beads and a late 1970's Kevin Keegan haircut. What's not to like. I don't know why he has chosen the moniker of D.D. Dobson. BuffaloMckee is a Japanese noise artist. You can contact and Hyster Tapes via https://www.pcuf.fi/~plaa/hyster.html.


After 2021's "Brain Waves" cassette AntiChildLeague return with a trio of cassette releases. Gaya Donadio's project has been active since the late 1990s. "Dejavu Glitch" and "Captivated" are from 'Retro Guard', a more exploratory experimental sound. 'Suicidal Tolerance' and 'Resist Or Submit' stay firmly in the industrial / power electronic field. The cassettes are on Gaya's own Hagshadow label and can be contacted through https://antichildleague.bandcamp.com


Norway's Origami Republika, the collective that brought Origami Arktika, Origami Replika, Origami Angelika, Origami Anarchika and Origami Galaktika. Tore Honoré Boe and Benny Braaten seem to be mainstays of the Origami projects although it is hard to tell as they went under many aliases and numbers. "Punane Kuu" is from the double LP 'Eesti Lilled Silmad Süda'. The album was recorded at The Order Of Cosmic Chaos Spazestation PP4 in the spring of 1996. 

Sad to hear of the passing of Dave Thomas, the mainman behind Pere Ubu. Formed in 1975 from the ashes of Rocket From The Tombs in Cleveland, Ohio. I discovered Pere Ubu through listening to John Peel's radio programme in 1978. He played "Chinese Radiation" from the first Ubu album "The Modern Dance" and it was like a bolt from the blue. I had never heard anything so beautiful, I was hooked. I was fortunate to see David Thomas and Pere Ubu live supporting Gang of Four with Delta 5 on the bill too ... I can't remember the year though (probably 1979). 
Last year Joke Lanz did a mini-tour of the UK. 


As he toured the country he made field recordings of the journey. The Results have been released as a limited cassette on Michael Barthel's Recordings For The Summer label, each with individual covers. There's a few voices on there, but I don't think I recognise mine! I don't usually buy Record Store Day releases, they're usually re-issues of albums or EPs I already have and they are always over-priced. I can't get my head around paying £28 or so for an album is the norm. But ... Mute Records brought out an album of Swell Maps John Peel Sessions simply called 'The John Peel Sessions'. Three sessions recorded between 1978 and 1980. It was the 1980 session I was desperate for and especially the one minute track "Bleep & Booster Come Round For Tea". I remember loving this little vignette, having it on cassette at the time but after losing all my tapes in 1983 I had never heard it since...... So, £28 it had to be. The track is as good as I remembered it, it bleeds into the track "Secret Island". Unfortunately the LP is on red vinyl and differentiation between tracks is hard to find and I lined the track up wrong .. I'll try and get it prepared better and play the masterpiece on next month's broadcast. 

                                                                   RIP Dave Thomas.

MuhMur Radio Broadcast #280. 13 April 2025.

 


This is MuhMur Radio Broadcast #280.

A few weeks ago I was chatting with my good friend Thanasis. Thanasis runs the Electric Knife label / distribution out of Athens in Greece (as opposed to the one in Georgia, USA). Anyway, we talked about the works of Kostis Kilymis and what he was doing 'these days'. Kostis is living (also) in Athens and producing music but it is far from what he used to do, it is more in the style of Lena Platonos, or, maybe Laurie Anderson. I unfortunately do not know the works of either ... maybe ambient techno with a dash of synth-pop? The conversation made me dig out and play Kostis's 2019 release "A Measure Of Alienation" on the Falt label. Falt is now a 'digital only' label. Their entire catalogue can be bought for a €, and each release is 'pay what you like'. https://falt.bandcamp.com/music. Well worth a visit. Thanasis can be reached at : https://electrickniferecords.co.uk


The Staalplaat label off-shoot Korm Plastics D have followed up The Haters "Pinhoop" cassette with "Niet Hier". Originally released in 1987 on Frans de Waard's Korm Plastics label. Side 2 is a complete radio performance performed on the 16th April 1987. The cassette comes with a 4 fold booklet entitled "Faculty" by G.X. Jupitter-Larsen. Korm Plastics D are dedicated to re-issuing old cassette releases from the Korm Plastics catalogue with past releases by Autopsia, Commando Bruno and Korm Plastics compilations. https://kormplasticsd.bandcamp.com/merch will take you there. Staalplaat Sound System are the Staalplaat in house project. 

"El Molino Compuesto involves investigating the resonance frequencies of the 'Molino'. To achieve this, we will design a site-specific acoustic artwork that resonates within the 'Molino' using a sound wave precisely matching the space's length. This will cause the chapel to literally vibrate, turning it into a soundboard through which you can both heard feel the space. Our two acoustic resonators, each 11 metres long - half the length of the space - will generate the first resonance frequency of the room. By creating an acoustic artwork tailored to the exact dimensions of the space, with a sound wave that has a wavelength equal to the room's length, we allow the audience to both hear and feel the space. We have long been exploring the concept of creating a sound source powerful enough to vibrate a space, specifically designed to match its dimensions. The 11 metre long acoustic resonator will vibrate the air using two vacuum cleaners. Since the resonator's length is half the room's length, the lowest possible frequency it produces will match the length of the room. The sound wave will the bounce back against the wall amplifying itself and creating a standing wave. The resonator's length will be adjustable so that we can fine-tune the tone to perfectly match the space. We aim to acoustically and visually unify the space, in keeping with the Fluxus history of the Vostell Museum, and as a reference to Wolf Vostell's famous 1976 work 'Sinfonia Fluxus pare 40 Aspiradores'". https://staalplaatlabel.bandcamp.com/album/el-molino-compuesto-at-the-vostell-museum

I think Modelbau are the most played sound project on MuhMur Radio. I do keep a list of what has been played over the past 12 and a half years .. and (I think) Modelbau come out on top. (I love lists)! "Dead Man's Eyes" is from the cassette "Time Lapse". https://momentarilyrecords.com for more details. 


Not a great idea to start a label in the throes of a global pandemic, but Discreet Music did just that. Their first release was the rather excellent 'Himmelsvind' by Arv & Miljö ... and now Matthias Andersson, the head cheese at Discreet Music has released the compilation album "Five Years Of Failure" to celebrate. Before Discreet Music Matthias used to operate the label I Dischi Del Barone. There are 4 pieces from the LP during tonight's broadcast. The day before broadcast I received a copy of the last LP by Arv & Miljö, so expect to hear some of that in next month's programme. "Five Years Of Failure" is limited to 500 copies and available from : https://www.discreetmusic.se. I heard a whisper that Alice Kemp was releasing sounds very soon via Michael Barthel's Recordings For The Summer label, so I was keeping an eye on her activity (sounds like digital stalking ... but honest, it isn't) and saw that she appears on the latest Chocolate Monk compilation "Fug Gum Vol. 6". The CDR also features Diurnal Burdens, Alvarius B and Ripped Spit amongst others. https://chocolatemonk.co.uk/enter.htm. Hopefully the RFTS release will appear soon. 


In 1994 the Dutch label HaHaManDad/Ha-Releases put out the Hypnoskull cassette 'Cyberpunisher'. Only a handful of copies (15-20) were made. EE Tapes have re-issued the cassette on CD remastered by Jan Van den Broeke. (He remastered the Dieter Müh re-issues that EE Tapes have released). It's a very powerful release and to have heard it originally in 1994 would have blown my ears away. Hypnoskull is / was the solo project of Patrick Stevens. I was fortunate to see Patrick play live as Hautnah back in 1998. https://hypnoskull.com for more information and https://eetapes.bandcamp.com to grab. copy of the CD. 

Part two of the broadcast begins with Thorsten Soltau's latest release "Glaciers". 

"Remembering someone who has passed away is not an easy task. It is both challenging and demanding. Depending on one's closeness to the person, the task varies between being the chronicler and coming to terms with the person's life. This publication belongs to the latter. It is an approach to a friendship with a person who has accompanied me closely for more than 20 years in my life : Karl-Werner Feyen. Five segments commemorate a life and friendship in a dense composition, highlighting several key points of the deceased's life. Mixing in situ soundscapes with field recordings and synthesised variations, 'Glaciers' builds complex layers of electro-acoustic' sounds. Spoken words from dictaphones and text-to-speech synthesis provide further biographical clues".

Released on the Japanese label Zappak by Leo Okagawa. Zappak is derived from the Japanese word Zappaku which means that thoughts and sentences are not well organised and cluttered. For more information : https://zappak.bandcamp.com. The Duncan Harrison track is from his 2008 cassette release "Affirmations". Well out of print now it was only available via trade with Duncan. 


'On This Day' feature returns with a couple of classics. Pink Military Stand Alone were a Liverpool based band formed by ex Big In Japan vocalist Jayne Casey. Their "Buddha Waking Disney Sleeping" EP was recorded live at Eric's club in Liverpool on the 7th of December 1978. A short while after this release Pink Military Stand Alone shortened themselves to Pink Military, then later became Pink Industry. Who, I once saw live in 1984 on a Tuesday night at The Hacienda in Manchester, you could count the audience on the fingers of both hands ... it's something I have never forgotten. The EP was produced by two ex members of Albertos Y Los Trios Paranoias. The PMSA drummer, Paul Hornby, went on to join The Dogs D'Amour. In 1981 The Fall released "Slates, Slags, etc" 10" mini-LP. One of my favourite Fall releases.

Dayin is the solo project of Angel Simitchiev, also of MyTrip and Born Erased. This is Dayin's fifth album. https://mahorka.org for more information. 


Statische Musen are a quartet made of members whose names are all anagrams of Asmus Teitchens .. is there a connection? I'll let you decide. 'Linie 62' is from their (his) second CD album "Bubendey - Memorialmusik Auf Eine Brache" on Auf Abwegen. It was released in 2024 but I think copies are still available. https://www.aufabwegen.de


Paradox Encounter Group is the project of Paul Harrison, formerly of Expose Your Eyes and Hairs Abyss. (and no relation to Duncan). In 2023 Paradox Encounter Group teamed up with Soloman Tump to release the excellent cassette album 'Hatchet For Kindling' on Tone Burst. 2025 sees Paradox Encounter Group joining forces with NNJA Riot with the album 'Dissent Particles'. A new project to me NNJA Riot is the sound of former Isn'tses member Lisa McKendrick. Isn'tses also featured noise-chipper genius Tim Drage of Cementimental fame. "Dissent Particles" is released by Fusion Audio Recordings. Copies are available as CDR or cassette from : https://fusionaudio.bandcamp.com/album/dissent-particles in America, but you can bypass those tariff's and go to : https://nnjariot.bandcamp.com/album/dissent-particles-2 in the UK / Europe. Lisa is also an artist, her work can be found here : https://lmckendrick.weebly.com. Fascinating sounds, expect more on future broadcasts. The Lonely Bell has a new split release on the Moolakii Audio Interface label. It's a split with SoCool called "Another Kind Of Earth". For a copy please go to :  https://moolakiiclubaudiointerface.bandcamp.com/album/another-kind-of-earth

Cabaret Voltaire's 'Voice Of America/Damage Is Done' seems to be relevant in today's climate.


On the 5th of April Gang of Four founding member and bass player Dave Allen passed away. He left Gang of Four after touring with their second album "Solid Gold" in 1981. I saw them live on this tour, supported by Pere Abu and Delta 5. Dave then formed post-punk-funk band Shriekback with ex XTC keyboardist Barry Andrews and former Out On Blue Six vocalist Carl Marsh. Between 1982 and1983 Shriekback released two great albums "Tench" and "Care". "Care" also featured percussion from John Murphy formerly of SPK and Knifeladder. (File under useless information). I saw Shriekback live a few times, they toured the UK with Brilliant back in 1984. The programme ends with two Shriekback singles. Their first "Sexthinkone" and "My Spine (Is The Bassline)". RIP Dave.

MuhMur Radio Broadcast 16 March 2025.

 


A very cassettecentric (cassentric?) programme this month. Although the broadcast kicks off with a track from The Pop Group's seminal "For How Much Longer ... Do We Tolerate Mass Murder?" album which was released On This Day (March 16) in 1980. 

Wolkokrots is the project comprising of Miguel A. Garcia and Ilia Belorukov. Earlier this year Steep Gloss released the cassette album "Nelinetrolls". 


"Wolkokrots' "Nelinetrots" is the last album I did with Miguel. It started exactly the same way as it was when we worked on the very first album. In March 2020 Miguel sent me the files he found on his computer and said 'Let's do something with it?' We often worked over distance, sharing files and ideas, so I said 'Yes, Sure'. This time he sent me the music that he had made when he was a teenager with long hair (I can't even imagine Miguel with it!) Something that he described as his very first album. He mentioned it's "super gothic" and "really funny". ..... The music he sent was lo-fi and atmospheric, and I started to work on it, using it as a starting point to create something new. I decided to remix and rearrange original tracks and added my own sounds. I liked the idea of using some memories from my own childhood and teenage years. For example, there's a sample of  a popular TV game I watched; or fragments of my piano playing, or field recordings I had made on a tape recorder. After my touch, Miguel began to deconstruct the material and, as always happened, it was something totally new and fresh. After several rounds we finished the album in 2023.   Ilia Belorukov January 2025. The cassette is available from Steep Gloss at : https://steepgloss.bandcamp.com/music. As ever the d/load version is available at "Name Your Price". 

Tod Dockstader is a fascinating artist. In the early 1960's he recorded the sound effects for Tom & Jerry cartoons before going to work in contemporary classical circles and musique-concret along with John Cage, Stockhausen and Edgar Varèse. The track "Song" is from the first album in the 'Ariel' trilogy. The latest offering from Mark Vernon is the cassette album "Unforced Errors" on the French label Vice De Forme. https://vicedeforme.bandcamp.com/album/unforced-errors

The Dead Mauriacs return with the CD album "L'énigme Du Parc" on the I Shall Sing Until My Land Is Free label. The label supports Ukrainian resistance by donating profits to self-defence and humanitarian foundations. In the past they have released great albums by Edward Sol, Muslimgauze, Ilpo Väisänen, Merzbow and Kotra. Essential, please support. Visit : https://ishallsinguntilmylandisfree.com.


Last week I decided to play the albums in the "Myths" series released by Sub Rosa in the mid 1980s. Four albums and three 12" EPs. General Strike consisted of David Toop, Steve Beresford and David Cunningham. "Reach For N" was from the second album in the series with the sub title 'System Of Flux And Energies". The album also has tracks by Hula and SPK. Back in 2013 Mikko Aspa (aka Grunt) mailed me a CDR for broadcast as a "MuhMur Radio Session". A 23 minute piece called "Shovel Attack". A remastered version is now available on the CD "IOPS Soundtracks" on the Institute For Paraphilia Studies label. To grab a copy visit : http://freak-animal.net. I saw Grunt live a few times, I played with Grunt in Mäntsälä, Finland in 2000. Mikko organised the gig, also playing were Putrefier, Temple Of Tiermes, Cloama and STROM e.c. The evening was later released as a double CDR on the Kaos Kontrol label. Copies go for around a tenner on Discogs. Anyway ... I saw Cloama and Grunt live in Leeds (UK) in 2004. They were supporting Slogun at the legendary Fenton Arms. I am certain one of the members of Slogun that night was Chris Goudreau. Chances are Chris also performed as Sickness ... but my memory of this evening is very sketchy. The previous evening Dieter Müh had played in Manchester with Con-Dom & The Grey Wolves and we travelled to Leeds the next day ... Omei is the more 'ambient / experimental' sound of Chris Goudreau. 'I'm Sorry I Have Failed You' is from the double cassette "It Never Ends Well". It's a split release with Self. Self were a side project of Slogun mainman John Balisteri.


"Pppp" is the latest cassette from Modelbau. Three cassettes in a video case, A C14, a C18 and a C24. 'There music is mono and all about decay with tape loops falling apart'. Limited to 15 copies it's worth visiting Frans de Waard's site : https://modelbau.bandcamp.com for all Modelbau activity. 


A.B.O. is 1990s project of Joachim Nordwall a.k.a. The iDEALIST. The track here is from an untitled 7". Definitely recorded in the 1990s but probably remastered in the last year or so. It's on the Belgian Meeuw Muzak label. http://www.meeuwmuzak.net. This year I have discovered the sound of David Wallraf. Hamburg based sound artist. I am slowly collecting his back catalogue, but some releases are ultra-limited. 5 or 6 copy editions etc. The first three tracks that end part one of the broadcast are from the 2022 cassette "NO WAR" on the UK based Brachliegen Tapes. The cassette is now sold out but a download version is available at : https://brachliegentapes.bandcamp.com/album/-. The later is piece is from David's latest release on the German Karls Records label. "Crudeltá Necessaria" is the follow up to last year's "The Commune Of Nightmares". It deals with the roles of cruelty in the works of Pier Paolo Pasolini by blending noise, raw electronics and field recordings into a detailed dystopian sonic picture. This cassette is limited to 100 copies, act fast at : https://karlrecords.bandcamp.com/album/crudelt-necessaria. By the time I have published this blog David has probably released another handful of tapes .... 

                                                                       DAVID WALLRAF.

                                           
One of my favourite sounds at the moment is the sound of Hauras. Hauras is the project of American sound artist Ryan Martin. I discovered Hauras through their early releases on the Helen Scarsdale Agency label. 'By Sheer Will' is from the latest cassette "Broken" on UK based Industrial Coast. 30 minutes of great experimental sounds. https://industrialcoast.bandcamp.com/album/broken
A friend mailed me half a dozen or so CDRs by Ian Middleton. Old review copies from Idwal Fisher. I had never come across Ian's work / sound and enjoyed a couple of afternoons bathed in his ambient dronescapes and electronic waves. Information on Ian is pretty slim and perhaps I'll have to dig through my old copies of Idwal to find out more .... or wait until the compendium of Idwal's back catalogue is published by Korm Plastics ... soon, it's coming soon! I do know that Ian previously went under the moniker of Remora and one of the CDRs features a collaboration with MuhMur Radio favourite Mark Vernon. I asked Mark about his involvement with Ian 'Essentially Volute Springs is a remix of sorts of one of Ian's tracks that was made predominantly using a KORG MS-10. He gave me the stems and I remixed it'. I have no contact for Ian but some of his vinyl output is available via Discogs. 
Celebrating 500 releases of William A. Davison and 40 years of his Recordism, William will release "500" a collection of loops from all his 500 releases. http://theorgangrindersgazette.blogspot.com/2025/02/new-releases.html. As it says - this may or may not be true. 


Cassette Culture is a new podcast by Martin Franklin, coming out of Brisbane, Australia. Martin used to host a programme here on SoundArt Radio called 'Genepool' about 10 years ago. One of the episodes is themed around the output of ND. ND started out as a magazine and cassette label in the early 1980s before releasing CDs and vinyl in the 1990s. Operated by Dan Plunkett he explains the beginnings and thoughts behind ND. https://www.cassetteculturepodcast.com/contact-exchange-document-the-story-of-nd/. The podcast features sounds from artists that appeared in the magazine and subsequent cassette releases, and I thought I would play my contribution to "ND7", Dan's first cassette release. 1985 - 1987 I was half of the project I.B.F. Tim Bayes was the other half. We put out a few cassettes, mainly on the Carnifex Organisation label and appeared on a few compilation releases. "Norkabal" was an improvised piece recorded in Lincoln in 1985. "ND7" also features Haupunkt Fix, Big City Orchestra, Die Form, Andre Stitt, Paul Hurst, If Bwana and The Haters amongst others. In 2008 Harbinger Sound released a 12"EP of IBF which includes a remastered version of "Norkabal". 

Another prolific sound artist whose releases are essential is Takahiro Mukai. "Even Toned" is his latest on the French Astra Solaria label. https://astrasolariarecordings.bandcamp.com. Also in the pile of sounds donated by Idwal was a mysterious 5" vinyl single by an unknown artist, or unknown artists. Back in the mid-60s (yes I am that old) there used to be a telephone box in an amusement arcade in Mablethorpe. Inside the telephone box was a microphone where you could record your singing and moments later there was a 5" vinyl record of your recording. It was a common amusement arcade item back then. I think this is one of those artefacts - not from the mid 60s but I am guessing they can still be found in more ancient arcades in more ancient seaside towns. 



I asked Sir Idwal about the record but he had no memory of it although did say that it may have come from the collection of Simon Morris, late vocalist with The Ceramic Hobs and member of Smell & Quim. It's only 44 seconds long, and is very good. 
A few months ago I made a broadcast that was mainly built of 7" B-Sides from 1978-1982. Two songs I missed out on back then was "Jellyfish" and "Brainbomb" by Punishment Of Luxury. I mentioned the song "Jellyfish" in correspondence with David Warmbier from The Institute Of Spectra-Sonic Sounds radio programme and he didn't know the song, so I play it for David. Also recapping on a previous broadcast ... last month I played "Happy Birthday" by The Birthday Party in the 'On This Day' section but made a mistake so this time I play the A-Side of the single "Mr Clarinet". I don't have the 7", this track is from the 4AD Records compilation LP "Natures Mortes - Still Lives". 


It is a story I often tell but back in the 1970s I was listening to and buying records by the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Judas Priest, Uriah Help, Emerson Lake & (indeed) Palmer. The typical collection of a teenager who bought albums from the "Rock Section" of Sanctuary Records in Lincoln. I had quite a collection, LPs were only about £3 back then and I had a two paper rounds and would do errands for money. Anyway, my older sister (Julie) was also 'into' music and used to borrow records from her friends and one day in early 1977 gave me a copy of The Damned's "New Rose" 7" single with the words 'I think you'll like this'. It was the day the world changed and more so when the LP "Damned Damned Damned" came out. That was the day I took my old records in to school and left them in a pile on a table in the school's common room with a note saying "Help Yourself". (30 or so years later I bumped in to an old school friend who remembered that day and still has my old copy of Zappa's 'Hot Rats' album). Hearing The Damned changed my life, changed my path. Likewise and ditto for John Peel and Throbbing Gristle. So, it was sad to hear of Brian James' passing. RIP Brian.

MuhMur Radio Broadcast 16 February 2025.

 


The first hour or so of the broadcast begins with sounds from the Belgian based label EE Tapes. EE tapes began in the mid 1980's, some say 1984 bit others say 1987. It was set up by Erik Van Havere who I believe was involved with the KK Records label in the early 1980s. Most of the prominent European underground sound artists have had their sounds released by EE Tapes This includes Dieter Müh, who released their album "Cari Saluti" on EE Tapes in 2000. It was Eriek and EE Tapes that offered Dieter Muh their first (mainland) European performance in October 1998 alongside Troum, Konstruktivists and LD50 amongst others. EE tapes has a bandcamp page where they are releasing digitised copies of their releases (download files). https://eetapes.bandcamp.com/music. This includes the Brume album "After The Battle (A Chronicle Of The Joy Of Life)" and Christian Renou's "7 Kisses" album. I also played some old EE Tapes releases by Dieter Müh (from 'The Walls Are Whispering' compilation CD), No "Bakk" from the cassette 'Ziellos' and NKVD "Are You Lonely" from 'Elegy #2' cassette. NKVD is the project of Glenn M. Wallis (aka Konstruktivists). 

                                                        Brume "After The Battle" (CD).

                                                             V/A "Elegy #2" (Cassette).        

Last month's broadcast featured sounds from the American (Austin, Texas) based label Elevator Bath. Colin from Elevator Bath kindly mailed MuhMur Radio some of their latest releases and I am slowly devouring / discovering the sounds. Tonight MuhMur Radio presents more sounds from the Elevator bath arsenal beginning with Susana López and two pieces from her latest album 'The Edge Of The Circle'. Alex Keller follows with a piece from last years CD release 'Sleep Room'. The Colin Andrew Sheffield track is from 'Images'. All the tracks on this LP are culled from "various commercially available recordings". 

                                                   Colin Andrew Sheffield "Images" (LP).

The two Daniela Huerta pieces are from the 10" mini-album 'Soplo'. Elevator Bath can be contacted via : http://www.elevatorbath.com and/or https://elevatorbath.bandcamp.com/artists. There will be more in the next programme, and again (if you're listening) thank you Colin.
The second hour finishes on a piece by Kostis Kilymis. I am at the moment re-cataloguing my records, tapes and CDs, it's great fun and I am rediscovering old releases I haven't played in years ... sometimes 10 / 20 years. (I am 'blogging' the activity https://muhmurradiohq.blogspot.com for reasons I don't yet understand). It is taking time as I am playing some old discoveries as I find them, Kostis being exhibit A (m'lud). "Comet Athena" is from the 2014 cassette 'Komths' on the Hideous Replica label. I think Hideous Replica were the same folk who were behind the Beartown Records and Wasted Capital Since 2013 labels and I shall believe that until someone proves me wrong. I haven't heard anything from Kostis in a while. He was in Bristol for a while, or certainly was when we both played at the KAARST Gallery in Plymouth, 2018. But I have a feeling he is now living in Greece. 

                                                        Kostis Kilymis "Komths" (Cassette).

4th Sign Of The Apocalypse are also a discovery made whilst re-cataloguing the 'collection'. 4th Sign Of The Apocalypse is a project of Bryin Dall. Bryin has collaborated in the past with Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and Boyd Rice (Hirsute Pursuit). The track here is from the 2003 compilation album 'Widerstand'. The album (2xCD) also features Con-Dom, Propergol, Predominance, Survival Unit and Maison Close amongst others. Copies are floating about on Discogs for a reasonable price. 


Split Apex is the new project of Peter Blundell and Jussi Palmusaari. Peter was a member of Mosquitos and Komare. Jussi was a member of Finnish art-rock experimental outfit Preesens. Split Apex's first release is the eponymous self released cassette. 4 tracks over (about) 20 minutes. Recorded last year and limited to 30 copies. I don't have any contact for Peter (unfortunately), but I do know he used to live just down the road from me in Babbacombe (Torquay) ... small world!
The Nurse With Wound track is from the double CD 'She And Me Fell Together In Free Death' and available through ICR (where I get most of my NWW stuff from) : https://icrdistribution.bandcamp.com/merch. I thought Wire's "Go Ahead" fitted perfectly afterwards. 

                                                        Wire.                            Swell Maps.

On this day in 1980, two great singles were released. Swell Maps "Let's Build A Car" and The Birthday party's "Mr. Clarinet / Happy Birthday". 

                                                                Cold War "Illusion" (LP).

Cold War are an old post-punk band from Hornchurch in Essex. In 1981 - 1982 they put out some cassettes on the Rasquap Products and Rasquap Is Dead  labels as well as a self released cassette simply called "Cold War". In 1983 they released their only 7" "The Machinist" on Namedrop Records. Namedrop Records was operated by Paul Platypus of The Refections/Exhibit A and Twelve Cubic Feet fame. I always thought Paul was also in the Digital Dinosaurs but I can't find any proof of this on the internet. That's how things were back in the early 80s, sometimes I got things wrong, like thinking Cold War were an anarcho-crusty  punk band playing anarchy centres in the south-east and playing with bands such as The Apostles, Annie Anxiety and the like. WRONG! Cold War are an old post-punk band from Hornchurch in Essex, they had a similar approach to sound as bands such as UK Decay, Artery, Joy Division and Wire. They wore their influences on their sleeves. A couple of them became 'acid-house- DJs in the 1990s and the bassist Paul Harding joined Hagar The Womb after their disintegration. (I have a feeling Hagar The Womb have recently reformed, but whether or not Paul is involved, I couldn't say). The LP is a joint release by Grow Your Own Records ( a label run by ex members of Anthrax) and ex Harbinger Sound mainman Steve Underwood. Copies can be bought from : https://growyourownrecords.bandcamp.com. A MuhMur Radio recommendation. 

Berlin based Staalplaat are slowly reissuing the back catalogue of Korm Plastics under the name of Korm Plastics D. So far the compilation cassette releases '6x10=60' Volumes 1-3 series, Commando Bruno, 'Korm Merz x Merz' compilation and the 'Katacomb Volume 3' compilation have made it to the MuhMur Radio HQ. The recent release is 'Puinhoop' by The Haters. Two live performance recordings from 1989 on side A and radio performance from November 1989. The radio performance (I think) includes the voice of Frans de Waard. https://kormplasticsd.bandcamp.com/album/the-haters-puinhoop. It's limited to 70 copies. 

                                                       Organ Of Corti "Lues" 7" single.

I have been listening to a lot of Organ Of Corti over the past couple of years or so and have yet to be disappointed. Organ Of Corti are the Swedish supergroup consisting of Dan Johansson (Neutral/Sewer Election), Joachim Nordwall (Skull Defecks/Alvars Orkester) and Mattias Gustafsson (Altar Of Flies/Cryme). Their latest release is a 7" on the Czech Stoned To Death label. Limited copies are available at : https://stoned-to-death.bandcamp.com. Waning End is the project of Angel Simitchiev (MyTrip) and Niels Geybels (Sequences). The three pieces here are from their debut cassette 'Moving End' on Niels' own Audio Visual Atmosphere label. I unfortunately cannot put a link because I have been blocked from the Audio Visual Atmosphere website. Last time I play any Niels Geybels then ... 

Back to Swedish superstars ... Blod is the project of Gustaf Dicksson. Blod have been operating for about ten years releasing classic albums on the Förlag För Fri Musik, Discreet Music and I Dischi Del Barone labels ... amongst others. The piece here is from the "You Are Not Alone Vol.2" EP. Released originally as a single-sided lathe cut 12", a few copies were released as a CDR on Förfall (which may or may not be Gustaf's own imprint). "Nattens Lekar" features the voice of Linda Lovelace. 

                                                                                Blod.

For my birthday (62 last December) I received a copy of the book "Through The Crack In The Wall" subtitled 'The Secret History Of Josef K' by Johnnie Johnstone. A fascinating story of the Edinburgh post-punk music scene from 1978-1982. It's a great companion to "Hungry Beat" that was published in 2022. The history of Scottish punk / post punk through the eyes of Bob Last of Fast Product and Alan Horne's Postcard label. 


I do like a good cover version, and there's not a lot better than Fire Engines version of Heaven 17's "(We Don't Need) This Fascist Groove Thang. Very apt at the time of broadcast ... this track comes from the Cherry Red Records anthology of the band. (They also feature in the Josef K book).

You can hear the broadcast here : (Split into two for easier aural digestion).

MuhMur Radio Broadcast 11 May 2025.

  This is MuhMur Radio Broadcast #282. I am not familiar with Martin Ware's work post Human League, I have read his autobiography so kno...
