MuhMur Radio Broadcast 28 October 2021

 


The first quarter of the programme is very much set in the 1980's. Between 1980 and 1982 there were some classic records released 'On This Day'. Although the broadcast kicks off with Cabaret Voltaire's "Split Second Feeling" from their "Red Mecca" album ... which was released in August 1981 ... the following tunes were / are all October 28 releases. (The track "Red Mask" at the end of the programme is also from the "Red Mecca" album). 


The Throbbing Gristle tracks are from the LP "Funeral In Berlin". The album was recorded over two nights at the S0 36 Club in Berlin. According to the sleeve notes "A Turkish circumcision ceremony preceded the events ... The album is dedicated to redundant institutions everywhere, above and below ground". The sleeve is a painting by Val Denham of Death & Beauty Foundation fame.

In 1981 Bauhaus met Bauhaus. "While still a member of the pre-eminent gothic rock band Bauhaus, David J had the brilliant idea to collaborate with René Halkett, artist/poet of the Weimar Bauhaus art school in the 1920's. On July 28th 1980, David took a trip to René's cottage in Cornwall. Using a portable cassette recorder, he recorded an 80 year old René reciting his own poetry. In 1981 David added musical accompaniment to two of the poems and released them as a one-off single for 4AD". (taken from the David J bandcamp page). In 1981 The Pop Group split and singer Mark Stewart moved to London to work with Adrian Sherwood and his On-U Sound label. The first release was the 12" EP "Jerusalem". The Mafia on this release were members of Creation Rebel and Noah House Of Dread. 


The Fire Engines debut 7" was recorded in a bungalow in Fife, Scotland at a cost of £46 and was the first release on the Codex Communications label. The label was set up by the Fire Engines manager Angus Groovy. After the band split in 1981 drummer Russell Burn went on to form Everest The Hard Way a band I saw live at Futurama 3 festival (Bingley Hall, Stafford) but have never come across any of their releases. 

The programme comes back in to the now with another track from the new Fossil Aerosol Mining Project "Zombi Traditions (37 Years)". Released on their own Afterdays Media imprint copies are available here : https://fossilaerosol.bandcamp.com/album/zombi-traditions-37-years


Radboud Mens is a Dutch sound-artist, composer and radio presenter. Radboud started making noises in the late 1980's building noise machines and destroying turntables. In the mid 1990's he created the project L.O.S.D. with Peter Fleur. This is the first time I came across the sound of Radboud Mens. Radboud left L.O.S.D. in 1997 to work under his own name making more minimal and conceptual sounds. In 1999 he created the ERS label to release ambient / drone music. He has radio shows on dfm.nu. The tracks here are from his latest album "Sine~Plus+".


"Sine" was released in 2000 on Staalplaat Records and twelve years later as a download file on Form Digital. This new vinyl version includes three new pieces recorded last year. Available in glorious purple vinyl. https://staalplaatlabel.bandcamp.com/album/sine-plus. I know very little, in fact next to nothing about the project called The Incidental Crack. I got their latest cassette album "Detail" through from Anticipating Nowhere Records and I'm really enjoying it. Limited to 20 copies, some are still available via the label's bandcamp. https://anticipatingnowhere.bandcamp.com/album/detail.

The Column One track is from the "Classic Chill Out Rhythms" CD by Column One & DJ Uncle - Brain - Bridge ... and I'm still playing the Bron Area "The Trees And The Villages" album. It's one of those great slices of early 1980's post-punk pop.


The Swedish trio Typical Girls are comprised of Felix Skörvald, Julia Bjernelind (also of Amateur Hour) and Hugo Randulv (Amateur Hour, Enhet För Fri Musik). Hugo also released the excellent LP "Radio Arktis" under his own name on Förlag För Fri Musik earlier this year. "Girl Like You" is from their debut 7" EP released last year, it's a cover of the old Troggs hit. The EP is on the Happiest Place label, a label I will now follow after this 7" and their Neutral Live LP release. The EP has sold out from the label but it's always worth trying Discreet Music. https://discreetmusic.se

The programme finishes on the 'Berlin' side of the Throbbing Gristle "Discipline" 12" released in 1981 on Fetish Records. It was recorded at the same concerts as the "Funeral In Berlin" album.

Intrusive Signals

 





A few months ago a copy of the magazine "Intrusive Signals #1" landed at MuhMur HQ. The magazine was put together by Andrew Fletcher. "Intrusive Signals" is a title taking over from "Snare Rush", a magazine that Andrew produced for seven issues. A little like when "Just Glittering" changed its' name to "Idwal Fisher".  With the magazine came a request for a Dieter Müh interview, or some contribution to #2.  Over the past couple of years or so I have done quite a few interviews, the last being for Richard Johnson's  revamped "Adverse Effect" magazine and Thanasis (of Electric Knife Records) printed a rather fine overview of Dieter Müh in his "Oblique Tapestry" magazine. Dave Goodchild of the Exeter Cavern has also interviewed me for his occasionally printed fanzine "Notes From The Post Punk Underground". With the latter two of these publications being (Devon) local I was a little reticent to do yet another Müh piece and besides I haven't really done much (as Dieter Müh) since the Swiss/German tour in December 2018 - the one with BºTong & Grodock. 

During this pandemic Andrew has moved from Oxford to a small market town called Bovey Tracy in South Devon. Bovey Tracy is about ten miles from MuhMur HQ and also known as "The Gateway To the Moors" (Dartmoor that is). On his move to the Deep South he got in contact with Thanasis who pointed him in the direction of SoundArt Radio, a community radio station in Dartington broadcasting from the Dartington Hall Estate. Andrew now broadcasts "The Tump Clump", a monthly hour long programme built of noises, pulses, rhythms and home-made electronics. 


I wanted to get involved with issue #2 so I offered to write a piece on MuhMur Radio, the reasons, the whys and the wherefores. I also offered my services as a reviewer, to say a few words about what has excited me, intrigued me and made me dance over the last few days, but Andrew moved at such a fast pace I never got around to the reviewing ... I also didn't quite finish the MuhMur Radio piece .. but I think I got away with it. 

Issue #2 features interviews with Canadian artist Moss Harvest. A great interview that has made me want to hear his sounds .. Blackcloudsummer and Neuro ... No Neuro. There's a piece on HREA'M's 'Music For Mental Health' project, poetry by Plague Arish and a diary (by Andrew) of the "Radical Chip Party" that took place on the  Dartington Hall Estate over the summer. There's random artwork and photography in the pages too. 


Each copy (seems to) come(s) with a free download of Andrews' new release. A split 3" CDR of Lee Riley and Soloman Tump. For the past year or so Andrew has been recording and releasing under the pseudonym of Soloman Tump. Experimental free-form crunching entropic electronics. Lee Riley is a guitarist who has released split albums (in the past) with Stuart Chalmers, Timothy C Holehouse and Robert Ridley-Shackleton on a variety of UK DIY labels. 


A physical copy of the split is available : https://solomantump.bandcamp.com/album/spl-it Limited to only 30 copies. Intrusive Signals #2 can be got from here : https://solomantump.bandcamp.com/merch/intrusive-signals-zine-2 for only £4 plus postage.

The Tump Clump can be listened to here : https://www.mixcloud.com/solomantump/

MuhMur Radio Broadcast 14 October 2021

 


Over the past 18 years the Finnish label Hyster Tapes has been gathering quite a cannon. In 2003 they put out the cassette "Doin' It Dresden Style" by Dieter Müh (the title being a mashed up homage to two of my favourite bands, Slaughter & The Dogs and Swell Maps). The catalogue number is HYSTER 002, I don't think there was a 001. All Hyster Tapes releases come on 'recycled' tapes, rather like the RRRecords "Recycled Music" series of old and it's a tradition carried on now by Vacancy Recs of Canada. I mention this because Hyster Tapes have just put out a great cassette by Finnish artist / Berlin Resident Lost Snivel. In 2015 Hyster Tapes put out the split Lost Snivel / Tietokoneduo J&J release but the sounds didn't really grab these ears and I thought nothing more of these artists, but now "Further Down The Spora" by Lost Snivel is never far from the tape player. 


I managed to chat with the main protagonist, the head Sniveller so to speak about the release. Side A (which is what starts the broadcast) is a collection of pieces spanning around ten years.
 
"Once I made a track that had an industrial sounding part, like Nine Inch Nails.... And I came up with a pun on the remix album of 'The Downward Spiral', 'Further Down The Spiral'. I called mine 'Further Down The Spora', since Spora is Helsinki slang for a tram". So the cover was for me an attempt to deliver the essentials of a drunken person in a tram, whose objective was perhaps to make it to the next exit and get off to have another beer from their bag. The associations are rather Finnish ... including the shopping bag". 

Before Lost Snivel there was RST, a collaboration with Grey Park member Heikke. They put out a cassette on Totes Format called "Haikus" before resorting to the project name RNP No.2, but neither of them can remember why. Both RST and RNP No.2 appear on Hyster Tapes compilations. 

"I don't really do that much music, but once in a while I get this impulse ... like bzzz, OK .. I'm going to make a track. And I take whatever I have around to make it. It's mostly embarrassing, but sometimes I like it enough to send to people or to play live ........ Last year I moved to a flat above an empty flat. Last spring I heard some shouting from our yard and looked out the window to see someone pushing out a mattress. Poof. Once the mattress was there out came the furniture .. softly breaking apart on the mattress. I was just taking my trash out and I noticed a keyboard against the wall. 'You guy's throwing all this out?' 'Yeah'. 'Mind if I take something?' 'Go ahead' .... hence "Dead Man's Synth". 

Releases by the likes of Re:Clip, Varropas, A Handful Of Dust, D.D. Dobson, Sick Days, Grey Park and of course Lost Snivel can be found here : http://www.pcuf.fi/~plaa/hyster.html Tapes are (as a rule) only 2€ plus postage and Hyster Tapes have a great distribution list too. 

The Skull Defekts track is another from the excellent Fang Bomb CD compilation "Gothenburg 08". In the last broadcast I played the short version of Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words song "Faceless Erases Every Trace Of Humanity", here I play the nineteen minute version. 


The long version appears on the eponymously titled cassette released by When Skies are Grey. It's a limited edition of 49 copies that were only available at the Norberg festival on July 25th 2008. When Skies Are Grey have a great and informative website : http://www.whenskiesaregrey.se Copies of "Gothenburg 08" can be found at Fang Bomb. https://www.fangbomb.com

An extensive "On This Day" section spreading over five years of great releases. 
I have done a few interviews in the past where I have been asked 'what my favourite album is'. Nine times out of ten I answer "Ha! Ha! Ha!" by Ultravox! It was my big sister Julie that turned me on to Ultravox! She went to see them live in 1976 at Lincoln Tech College (could have been Bishop Grosseteste College, but I'm sure it was the Tech Coll). She bought the first album, she had a huge AO poster for the LP (jealous). By the time "Ha! Ha! Ha!" came out (October 14 1977) Ultravox! were my band. I didn't get to see them live until the following year on the "Systems Of Romance" tour. I used to have an AO poster for that album! Back in those days I was one of those kids who would go in the dressing room afterwards for a chat and try and grab something off the rider*, so I got to chat with John Foxx and Chris Cross. It was at Lincoln AJ's where Chris taught me how to open a bottle of Holsten Pils without the aid of a bottle opener.  I was 15. 
* This is how I have arm wrestled with Esso Manic (The Lurkers) and seen Jenny Darren in her underwear. 


"Ha! Ha! Ha!" has been re-issued a few times and available on vinyl and CD quite easily. Try Discogs. I like The Damned "Music For Pleasure" album, it's their difficult second album. The one where they're a five-piece with the addition of Lu Edmunds on guitar. The album that is produced by the Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason. "Problem Child" was the first single from the album released in 1977. Lu Edmunds didn't last long in The Damned ... I think they split soon after the LP was released with Brian James forming Tanz Der Youth and Dave Vanian going to sing with the Doctors Of Madness. (There's no research here .. this is from memory so may be wrongish)! Rat Scabies formed The White Cats and a few months later when they did reform they called themselves The Doomed. Anyhow ... it's a great single. Lu Edmunds went on to form The Edge before joining bands as diverse as Jane Are & The Belvederes, 3 Mustaphas 3, Shriekback, The Mekons and Public Image Limited. Also released on this day back in 1981 was "Alternative Hits", a compilation of singles and album tracks by Chelsea. "Urban Kids" was released as a 7" single in August 1978 on Step Forward Records. ATV members Mark Perry and Alex Fergusson wrote the lyrics. It comes as no surprise that Chelsea are still recording and gigging. I saw them in December 1978 at Lincoln Technical College (it was a great venue) supporting The Adverts. To take a trip down memory lane go to http://www.chelseapunkband.com/index.htm

"Life During Wartime" is one of the singles pulled from Talking Heads' "Fear Of Music" album. Also on this day in 1981 the Slits released their second album "Return Of the Giant Slits". A slight departure from the "Cut" LP with Steve Beresford and The Pop Group's Bruce Smith contributing, it took me quite a time to get in to this album ... "Difficult Fun" is from this LP. 


Ending the 'On This Day' section is the B-Side to "This Sporting Life" by The Mekons. In my mind the last great Mekons single. "Frustration" fits in to The Mekons second album style and the "Snow" / "Another One" single. I think there was a major line-up change in 1982. (Again, no research here). "Never Been In A Riot" was recorded in Wuppertal in 1980. 

Max Julian Eastman is the main operator of US label Tribe Tapes, Active since 2019 I became aware of their existence earlier this year when they put out the cassette "Prey" by Modelbau and since then have bought releases by Howard Stelzer, Tantric Death, En Nihil and the Max Julian Eastman tape "Pygmalion Styled & Out Of Vogue". Tribe Tapes are based in North Carolina and have releases by Gen Ken Montgomery, Dave Phillips, Dog As Master, K2 and Territorial Gobbing amongst others. Check them out : https://tribetapes.bandcamp.com "Out Of Vogue" is available here.


A busy last few months for Mark Vernon with the release of two great albums, "Magneto Mori : Vienna" a CD on Canti Magnetici and "Sonograph Sound Effects Series Volume 2 : Public And Domestic Plumbing And Sanitation". A vinyl LP on the Calling Cards Publishing imprint. It's an album of recordings of plughole, washing machine draining pipes and toilet cisterns all in various locations. A fascinating piece of art. It should be filed alongside the MuhMur Radio favourite "Cattle Grids Of Dartmoor" by John Levack Drever. The two Vernon tracks here are from the 'sound effects' LP. Calling Cards Publishing are contactable here : https://callingcardspublishing.bandcamp.com


"Hairy FM" by Mark Dicker is from last years cassette album "Carrier Waves". Copies are still available from the label here : https://hominidsounds.bandcamp.com/merch. The pre-Trepaneringsritaulen project of Thomas Ekelund, Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words end the broadcast with a piece from his album "Fall, Fall, Falling". It was recorded in 2005 and released on the Kalligrammofon label in 2007. I think the CD is sold out but reasonably priced copies are available via Discogs. (It's where I picked up mine from).

MuhMur Radio Broadcast 30 September 2021.

 


Tape letters straight from the heart to misquote Ketty Lester. I guess it was an 80's thing, the tape letter. I used to make them for and receive them from a friend who lived in Austin, Texas. I used to mail him John Peel Sessions and talk in-between and in return he'd send tapes with rare stuff by the likes of The Residents and NKVD or Soviet France and interviews with John Duncan and Paul McCarthy. Fair exchange no robbery there ... Duncan Harrison's label AdHuman have just released a cassette of Emil Beaulieau's unique noise featuring a couple of 'private' live performances that were recorded for an (unrealised) compilation being put together by Frans de Waard. Whilst hunting for other stuff Frans discovered a cassette marked "Franz From Emil", a tape letter from Emil. (aka Ron Lessard of RRRecords). The letter, now edited and digitised (by Frans) takes up Side 2 of this great cassette. Grab a copy from : https://adhuman.bandcamp.com/releases. I think you have to request if you want a cassette version. 

I Love Emil ... I Miss Emil .... I Need Emil ... America's greatest living noise artist. 


Fossil Aerosol Mining Project offer songs of enhanced delay and faked resurrection. Active since the mid 1980's they have been releasing album after album of great sounds. They / He are no strangers to the MuhMur Radio playlist. September 2021 and FAMP release "Zombi Traditions (37 Years)" on their own Afterdays Media label. This album uses sounds from films 'about fake corpses' used in the earliest recordings by Fossil Aerosol Mining Project. Sound sources found on a section from an old film trailer in an abandoned drive-in film theatre, the first FAMP album had the topic "If You Loved Dawn Of The Dead", released on iTunes only .. it has since been deleted from distribution. 

"During all of this reanimated revisionism, certain tracks were left behind while others merited remastering or even remixing. So during lockdown last year, that's what we did. We addressed the entire zombie back catalogue, culling from it what we thought was the strongest and most representative material, remixing or remastering just about everything and at the same time pulling in the missing pieces.  The result is a 15 song collection of synthetic resurrections from the Reagan Era - our desert island selection of fake dead bodies and the worlds created for them."


More information on the great Fossil Aerosol Mining Project and their releases can be found here : http://www.fossilaerosol.com/Home.html. Expect to hear more from this album on upcoming broadcasts. 

Back on a Frans de Waard tip. The two pieces played here (and seriously, I might have got the titles mixed up a bit) are from the new cassette album "April Shower" on the German Grisaille label. Limited to 38 copies on cassette now sadly sold out from source, digital copies are available direct from here : https://grisaille.bandcamp.com/album/april-shower. Two tracks from the new Howard Stelzer feature on this broadcast. Both pieces are from "Shaking Off The Metaphors (Suburban Observances Volume One)", a CDR on Chocolate Monk. It now appears that there are going to be many volumes of 'Suburban Observances' released as the next two volumes are on Tribe Tapes and Humanhood Recordings. 

"On This Day" features two very important records. "Sandpaper Lullaby" by The Virgin Prunes (God Bless The Virgin Prunes .. as David Fanning once said). Released in 1981 this 7" was the first in a series of releases called "A New Form Of Beauty". The series featured releases on 7", 10", 12", VHS Tape and cassette. 12 months after releasing their debut LP Dome put out "Dome 3". Experimentations by Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis (from Wire) recorded with John Fryer and Eric Radcliffe at Blackwing Studios in London. "Dasz" features the voice of Angela Conway. 


Fang Bomb are a label from Gothenburg based in London. The first releases in 2006 were from Wolf Eyes, The Skull Defekts, Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words and Martin Birgersson. In 2008 they released the compilation album "Gothenburg 08", this album was a follow up (of sorts) to the compilation "Gothenburg 84" released by Radium 226.05. "A similar idea but in a different era" is what Fang Bomb boss Petter Ottosson calls it. Swedish experimentalists Joachim Nordwall and Henrik Rylander appear on both albums. Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words "Facelessness Erases Every Trace Of Humanity" is from this compilation. DLSODW is a pre-Trepaneringsritualen project by Thomas Ekelund. In 2014 Fang Bomb released the second solo album by Paul Baran called "The Other", a follow up to the 2009 album "Panoptic".


Paul is half of the Glaswegian experimentalists The Cray Twins. (Alongside Gordon Kennedy). A new Paul Baran release on Fang Bomb will be out later this year. Sons Of Viljems are another duo, this time from London. They are Nejc Haberman and Andrea Giommi (formerly of The Emerald Leaves and Edible Woman). "Jelena" is their first vinyl release and features a guest appearance by film composer Filip Sijanec. All Fang Bomb releases can be found here : https://www.fangbomb.com

Words cannot express the sadness I felt when I read of the passing of Richard H. Kirk. Cabaret Voltaire are a large part of my life. Doors were opened back in 1978 c/o Richard. I remain indebted. 

No strangers to the MuhMur Radio playlist Neutral have a new vinyl album out on Happiest Place. The album is a re-release of a 2017 ultra-limited cassette, the first ever release on Happiest Place. "Live På Autodiktat" was recorded live in Växjö (Sweden) in November 2016.


The album and other Happiest Place releases can be grabbed from here : https://happiestplacerecords.bandcamp.com
Browning Mummery are an Australian industrial band formed in 1983 by Andrew Lonsdale and John Jacobs. It is only natural that John Murphy would also be involved (Australian / industrial / experimental music) and on the 40th anniversary of the John Murphy "Krang Music" cassette on Coded Information Systems the Australian label Novichok have put out a limited 7" featuring Krang and Browning Mummery. "Lament For Comrade Time" features the line-up of Andrew Lonsdale, Rob Cummings, Annie Stubbs and Julian Percy (of Last Dominion Lost). Murphy collaborator Jon Evans assisted in the production.  https://novichoklabel.blogspot.com for more information.
