It has been a great start of the year for new sounds and classic (re) releases. This programme starts with a new cassette from Kiev sound artist and MuhMur Radio regular, Edward Sol. The track here comes from the new cassette "Strayed From The Herd" on Village tapes.
Village Tapes is operated by Edward and describes itself as a 'Non ambitious private label for contemporary Avantgarde music and art'. This tape is limited to 23 copies only. There is little internet presence but try contacting Edward here: https://www.discogs.com/Edward-Sol-Strayed-From-The-Herd-/release/13110132 .
Another MuhMur Radio regular are the releases from Gothenburg based label I Dischi Del Barone. In 2016 they released the 7" "Käre Jesus" by Blod. That's Blod the Swedish experimental project run by Gustaf Dicksson not Blod the Swedish power electronics duo who released some fine records on Segerhuva Records back in the late '90's. Now in 2019 Blod joins with IDDB mainman and all of Arv & Miljö, Matthias Andersson to produce two slices of untitled avant-mayhem, edits from past rehearsals and recordings when Gustf and Matthias were both part of Enhet För Fri Musik. Copies are still available here: https://iddb.bigcartel.com It was through a 7" on I Dischi Del Barone that I discovered and fell in love with the sound of Sarah Mary Chadwick. "We Jack" is from the cassette "This One's For Me (B Sides + Demos Volume 2)".
Last year Frans de Waard mailed out CDR business cards to friends and associates. It is all very vague as to who received, how many copies there are and if all copies sound the same. Anyhow .. I play the copy that came through my letterbox here!
A couple of weeks back I got in touch with Neil Campbell. I was playing some 'old' Astral Social Club back at Hartop Towers and got round to thinking that I hadn't heard any new ASC/Campbell sounds for a while ... Neil kindly mailed a package of new releases of which "Silent Pocket Endless Feeling" was one. Originally released as a download on the Glass Miniature label a few CDR copies have escaped. Thirty minutes of psychedelic loop-swirl madness that only Astral Social Club can produce. Also in the package was the CDR "I Must Have My Manias" from which the Neil Campbell track is pulled. Recorded in October last year and released by Neil's own imprint Music Mundane. Go to https://neilcampbell.bigcartel.com/products for all things Astral and Campbell.
The Matar and The Anti Group tracks come from a new 7" Flexi Disc (white vinyl) on Adi Newton's Anterior Research Media Comm label.
One of the finest labels over the past ten years has been Verlautbarung. With strong releases by Trepaneringsritualen, Clew Of Theseus, Irgun Z'wai Leumi, Tusen År Under Jord, Dieter Müh and th excellent "Stein" compilationation already under the belt, 2019 sees new albums by AmPh and Ochu. Two projects that are regular sounds on MuhMur Radio. AmPh are from Malmo (Sweden) and are the duo of Andreas Malm and Peter Henning. "Control" is their first release since 2014 and the excellent 12" "Terry" which was taken from a MuhMur Radio 'session'.
The Ochu track comes from the album "Unproduktiw", the follow up to 2014's "Tvärsnitt" LP. Ochu have been in operation since 2002 first appearing the Hatband compilation tape "HTW". Starting out as a "noise" project (by SegerHuva boss Love Rosenström) the Ochu sound has developed into a more complex beast with long pieces of industrial soundscapes and field recordings. As always Verlautbarung releases are available through Stockholm based distributor Millstone Vinyl. http://www.millstonevinyl.se/verlautbarung/
The Thorsten Soltau piece is from the cassette "Catalogue Ov Debris" and the A Tent track is from the Cherry Red Records compilation "Close To The Noise Floor". Originally released in 1981 from the LP "Six Empty Places". A Tent was Gavin Povey formerly in pub rock band Lew Lewis Reformer and power pop punk band The Edge (which also had John Moss and Lu Edmonds as members). I used to love The Edge single "Macho Man".

It was really good to have company for this programme. Dave Mutch is back after missing the Valentines Day broadcast. The old romantic. Also along for the ride was model and artist Alice Kemp, Tony 'as seen on TV' Whitehead and Mr. ExtraStereo Nathan Carter. Not quite Steve Wright and his 'posse', but fun all the same.
Next broadcast is on March 14. Same time, same channel just a whole new bag of records ...
