Aja Ireland

Earlier this year I participated in a performance in Belper (Derbyshire) as part of Vagina Dentata Organ. This was my third time alongside Jordi Valls and master drummer Michael Gillham. Bristol Arnolfini in 2012 and London Tate Modern in 2015. (Although I was at the VDO/TNB gig at the NK Gallery in Berlin in 2012 I wasn't one of the 'war drummers'). 

Each time with Vagina Dentata Organ Jordi has invited a performance artist to be part of the action. In Bristol it was New Noveta and at the Tate Modern it was Sonia Dietrich (aka BRUT). In Belper the performance was enhanced / coloured by Aja Ireland. Dressed in a costume that resembled internal organs, Aja writhed and howled along with the wolves and provided a sonic wall of intense madness to Jordi's 'Smash & Grab' antics and the cacophonous war drums. 

And now there is "Aja". A cassette release on the UK label Opal Tapes. 

Seven slices of industrial violence and visceral drones. 

This isn't some bedroom noise outfit looping noise and swearing over the top. Each piece is a carefully constructed soundtrack of a physical and desolate landscape in descent towards personal madness. Side one pulsates and scrapes punching hard and masking screams. There are moments when S.P.K's "Leichenschrei" is evoked. ("Charge"). Side two is a calmer affair beginning in the swirlpool, distortion lifting and the sound of machinery is clearer. The cassette ends on "Marbles". (Lost?). This piece is hard electronic rhythms - like the ones produced by Portion Control in the mid 80's. This might date the album in time to come, but right here right now it's a perfect fin de partie.

MuhMur Radio Broadcast 10 May 2018.

Eagle eyed folk might notice that in the above picture of this broadcasts playlist there is Dif Juz's "Out Of The Trees" LP (on 4AD Records). Unfortunately I never got to play the track "Mi" because I was running out of time due to myself waffling / rambling on like a drunken fool about other stuff that wasn't that important. I apologise. Lesson learnt : More Noise, Less Mutter. (It won't happen again).

The programme starts with an extract from the cassette "Oh Death" on the Beläten label. There are no artist credits on the release. The Beläten website lists it as "Unknown".

                                                                      "Oh Death"

I honestly thought Beläten had stopped functioning as a (physical) label and was pleasantly surprised to see this tape release along with a new tape from Blitzkreig Baby and 7" from Distel. It was back in 2015 when I came under the impression of Beläten were ceasing (or at least slowing down) and Thomas Ekelund was to focus on his Trepaneringsritualen project. Thomas mailed me a cassette with no titles or credits, telling me it was by an artist who wanted anonymity. I always thought it was by Thomas .... the same as this new "Unknown" tape.

                                                Anonymous tape on Beläten from 2015.

Less confusingly ... another new cassette that came out last month is the split release by Kazuya Ishigami and Xtematic on the News-318 label. "Drone Shrine" is lifted from this tape. "B-Men (MAR2017 Mix)" is from last years CD "A-Z-B Men" on Kyou Records. I really enjoy the unique drones, patterns of sound, looping and soundscapes that Kazuya creates. Kazuya is very prolific too releasing under his own name as well as the project Billy? The track "Grumbling" comes from the CD "Cleaner 583" on Slow Down Records. More information on Kazuya and his work can be found here: http://neus318.net/kazuya/
At the start of the month I managed to grab three singles from Swedish labels. Altar Of Flies + Alvars Orkester from the Swedish distribution outlet Börft Records and Korea Undok Group from the label itself. Börft Records are well worth having a look at, some great bargains hidden in there (I managed to pick up some Savage Republic + Raionbashi vinyl for a bargain!). http://www.borft.com

                                                                   "Dos Cuacochis. "

Another fascinating label is the Italian cassette label Upside Down Recordings, releasing modern classical / mystique concret sounds. "Cuacochi II" by Angélica Castelló is a live recording from 2016. Recorded in Vilnius, Lithuania it was commissioned by DAR and AIR Krems for the Representative Wind Orchestra of the Lithuanian Ministry of the Interior. Angélica has also released on the Russian Mikroton label. Go to http://castello.klingt.org for more information.

And then the programme seems to veer off in to the late 1970's and mid/late 1980's ... I was very tempted to go and see Nocturnal Emissions last Friday play live in London. Logistics and cash played a part in why I didn't go ... South of the river! This time of night! ... so I played a track from one of my favourite Emissions .. Nigel was playing in Peckham and from playing there myself in 2010 (with Plurals) I know how remote the place is .. and would be to get back to my base in Dalston.
"On This Day" features two great singles. Kleenex and Spizz Energi. It was at this time Spizz, Kleenex and The Raincoats played a cross the UK on a Rough Trade package tour. I have a memory that Spizz Energi were a late replacement for a band who backed out - either Cabaret Voltaire or Scritti Politti. They came to The Drill Hall in Lincoln, needless to say it was a great evening. Spizz Energi played Lincoln a few times in 1979/80. He had a girlfriend who worked in Sanctuary Records (Lincoln) called Bev. She and another girl were "The Spizettes", they even cut a 7" recorded at Playground Studios in Wragby. No information is available on the inter web - but it did happen! The Cure released their "3 Imaginary Boys" LP on Fiction records on May 10 1979. I know "Jumping Someone Else's Train" is not on the original UK release, but is on the US version ... and that is the version I have.

                                                            Poultry Breeders Union.

In March this year I travelled up to the Derbyshire town of Belper to be part of a performance by Vagina Dentata Organ. Also part of the performance was Thomas LaRoche, head of Research Laboratories and member of Poultry Breeders Union. "Companion Object" is the follow up to an untitled release back in 2016. This tape comes with sixty pence in a small brown envelope which invites you to call from a telephone box once you have reached your companion object.
Please take a listen - and sorry there is no Dif Juz ... later maybe ... (copy&paste)

MuhMur Radio Broadcast 26 April 2018.

Sorry in the delay in posting this ... it was a very busy weekend in the MuhMur household.
A bit of a grab bag and dolly mixture of sounds featuring a lot of Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV.  This broadcast was the last one before MuhMur Radio engineer Dave heads off to Western Africa - to the Gabon and Libreville for the month of May. So I wanted to play some of Dave's favourites from a couple of his favourite groups. April 26 was also the day (in 1978) that Throbbing Gristle released their first single "United".

The live Throbbing Gristle tracks come from the gig at Manchester Factory on May 18 1979.
The AntiChildLeague track comes from the new split cassette with The Rita. This is ACL's second release on the German Obsessive Fundamental Realism label. Four really excellent pieces although I'm not too certain on The Rita, perhaps will take some growing in to? A genre called Harsh Noise Wall that isn't really grabbing me. Vomir is another exponent of HNW that I just can't seem to click with ... but the split ACL tape is excellent and available from : obsessivefundamentalrealism.blogspot.com
Earlier this year Frans De Waard and Sindre Bjerga toured Europe as Tech Riders. The 2 pieces featured here are from the album "On The Storm" which was especially made for the tour. Also, I read that Joachim Nordwall had disbanded the Skull Defects project ... Like Vomir and The Rita (although NOT Harsh Noise Wall) The Skull Defects were a sound I just could not 'get in to', although I do like the Nordwall solo tape "The Skull Transmitter". Side B of this tape is played here. I did meet Joachim once - he was doing a DJ set with Henrik Rylander in a basement of a disused apartment block on the outskirts of Stockholm. The room was set to honour the work of Brion Gysin with TV Monitors showing his work and that of Psychic TV and dream machines situated along the perimeters. I very strange night that sometimes when thinking about it makes me wonder f I dreamt it all up.
The Troum track comes from the compilation "Da-Pu-Ri-To-Jo" on the Russian Black Mara label. A compilation of Troum 7" singles.

Exquisitely packaged in a wooden box which includes a bottle of sacred earth.
On this day in 1978 (along with Throbbing Gristle) The Stranglers released the single "Nice n' Sleazy", it fits nice n' sleazily after the Alien Brains here! Dave used to build electronic devices for The Alien Brains when they were based in Aberdeen. It felt apt.
The Hula track comes from the May 1985 John Peel Session. I don't know if it has been 'officially' released in any format?
There was a slip up at the end, whilst Dave was working on a playlist for SoundArt Radio to be on the air through the night the computer started playing up and after Negativland there is a track from Renegade Soundwave that was not supposed to be broadcast. It's not a bad track, certainly not one of RSW's best...but ... I apologise.
Please take a listen here: https://www.mixcloud.com/muhsteve/muhmur-radio-broadcast-26-april-2018/. (Copy & Paste).

MuhMur Radio Broadcast 12 April 2018.

                                                         Automating/Sasha Margolis.

Second Language Records is a label based in Melbourne, Australia. It is operated by musician / artist Sasha Margolis. Sasha created the project Automating in 2007, the first release on Second language came two years later with the album "Transfer". Constant Light is another project from Sasha Margolis, this time with James Dean.

Spitfire Parade are a 'Ballardian Drone Punk' quartet from Melbourne. Their sound (at times) is very close to that of Swell Maps from whose song they take their name from. ("Spitfire Parade' itself being a Biggles story). Sasha Margolis provides vocals and tapes on the tracks chosen.

                                                                  Spitfire Parade.

Dark Monolith is the project of ex-Night Soil and Wolf 359 member Peter James. This track appears on the compilation tape "SLR016" and as far as I can work out is their only release. On this piece Peter is joined by Melbourne sound artist Zac Keiller. Back in the 1990's Zac used to release sounds under the name Bokor. Bokor have featured on MuhMur Radio in the past. The piece from Breathing Shrine + Scattered Order also appears on the "SLR016" compilation. I know little of Breathing Shrine but I have been listening to Scattered Order for quite a while thanks to Steve Underwood (of Harbinger Sound). He has been mailing tapes of S.O. for quite a while and it came as a surprise that they were still active. Formed in 1979 in Sydney and releasing on the (excellent) M Squared Records label. They reformed in 2011. The track here reminds me of early S.P.K. and late 90's Skullflower. But ... distinctively Scattered Order. They have a great web site .. http://www.scatteredorder.com

                                                                    Scattered Order.

Second Language Records can be contacted here : https://secondlanguagerecords.bandcamp.com

The second half of the broadcast features "on this day". Firstly a track from Cabaret Voltaire that was on the compilation tape "C81" co-released by NME and Rough Trade Records. If I remember rightly coupons had to be collected and sent with P+P to get hold of the tape. At the time it featured the leading lights of independent music.... the aforementioned Cabaret Voltaire and the played at the end of the programme Furious Pig but also on the tape are Scritti Politti, Buzzcocks, D.A.F., The Raincoats, Essential Logic, Ian Dury, The Specials, The Beat, Gist, Pere Ubu, Blue Orchids, Subway Sect + lots more ... there are duff tracks by Lynx and James "Blood" Ulmer but the tape itself was like some kind of bible of independent music back in 1981. And now 37 years later the NME has disappeared after a very drawn out and slow death and Rough Trade Records has re-invented itself as 'Brand Rough Trade' selling shite to the white kids. A shame all round. A former Rough Trade band, The Monochrome Set released their first single on Dindisc Records on the 12th April, the title track  from the "Strange Boutique" album, I play the B-Side here ...

The Sons Of David Ginola is a project by Murray Royston-Ward and Kevin Sanders. Kevin also records and performs under the name of Petals. The track here comes from the CDR "Blood Too Thick Symptoms". The Hunting Lodge track is the B-Side to the 1983 single "Night From Night".

A couple of records that have hardly been of the turntable at MuhMur HQ are by Colin Potter. "Unstable Tennis" is from the album "The Abominable Slowman" and "Linda" is from the album "Shut Your Eyes On The Way Out" by Potter Natalizia Zen.

TG in Derby Exhibition : Kunst Gallery, Belper. 2018.

This weekend marks the final weekend of the 'Throbbing Gristle in Derby' photographic exhibition at the Kunst Gallery in Belper, Derbyshire. Over the past 4 weeks the gallery has been open showing the photographs taken by Anita Varney of when Throbbing Gristle performed live in Derby on April 12 1979.  Also on exhibition is ephemera from the gig, posters, press cuttings and other pieces of art by Anita Varney (including a jumper from 1976 that was sold in BOY).
The gallery itself is a small "Nail Shed', Belper used to be Britains main manufacturer of nails before the onset of the Industrial revolution of which Belper played a large part with its' Mills owned by the hosier Jedediah Strutt.

Gallery owner Jonny KGB was at work when Anita walked in with a pile of photographs she had just found in her home that included pictures of Throbbing Gristle live at the Ajanta Cinema in Derby. An idea of an exhibition grew ... Mute Records were not happy - this could not be advertised as anything to do with TG - but the gallery got the blessings of Gen who openly advertised it on his 'social media'.

I took these photographs from the gallery event, but did not want to take any of Anita's work ... her photographs are for sale, packaged in a limited edition of 79 in cassette boxes with a cover design similar to the TG Industrial Records tapes that were part of 'TG24'. These are still available from the Kunst Gallery.

The opening of the exhibition on March 24 was celebrated with performances by Glenn Wallis and Jordi Valls, both old Throbbing Gristle 'crew' from the 1970's. Jordi Valls brought his Vagina Dentata Organ and Glenn performed as Dark Union. The men who brought TG to Derby gave a little explanation to why and how this all happened. Teenage punks trying to bring live music to a dead city in the late 1970's struck a chord with me. The idea of TG in Derby seems to spring from the band Pre-De who rehearsed at a space behind a record shop owned by one of the promoters and wanted to support Throbbing Gristle. The Ajanta Cinema used to be an old 'adult' cinema and strip bar for Derby's Asian community. There's two things I learnt that evening.

With hassle from nearby residents and the local council over gallery content and noise the Kunst Gallery need support, so if you are in the area or need to go somewhere for 'a day out' make it Kunst Gallery Belper - Belper is quite a picturesque town with great walks and gardens.

                                                                        Jordi Valls.

                                                                     Glenn Wallis.

So as of April 15, the exhibition is terminated.

                                                               Jonny at The KGB.

MuhMur Radio Broadcast 29 March 2018.

The great thing about British Summer Time is the lighter nights ... the later days, it means that I can walk along the River Dart for 2 miles from Totnes to the SoundArt Radio studios at Darlington Hall. A great walk to let the mind wander free and think about all those things I am going to say during the broadcast and then never do. Hot DJ chat that never makes it to air!

This broadcast features new sounds from German project Ditterich Von Euler-Donnersperg. D v. E-D is the work of Hamburg based artist / film-maker / politician Uli Rehberg. Before beginning this project Uli operated the Walter Ulbricht Schallfolien label releasing the likes of Throbbing Gristle, Laibach, The Hafler Trio and S.P.K. In 1986 Uli began the Werkbund project, a project surrounded in mystery and anonymity. in 1989 Abraum was set up as a label to release the works of Werkbund and associated artist Mechthild Von Leusch.

Ditterich Von Euler-Donnersperg began releasing in the late 1990's. I first came across his work via the singles released on the Bremen based label Die Stadt, then the collaborative releases with Column One. For MuhMur Radio Ditterich Von Euler-Donnersperg has submitted seven short pieces subtitled "Moviesoundtracks (of course) For Undone Movies". Each came with the name DDBE although I think this was just for filing purposes. I have listed them under their filed name. (If this makes sense), and play them in the order they were sent. Also included are tracks from compilation albums, collaborative work with Thorsten Soltau and a piece from the split 2x7" (with Asmus Tietchens, Thomas Köner and Illusion Of Safety) on Die Stadt.

                                           D v. E-D at the screening of 'Victory Of Reason'.

In 2015 Ditterich Von Euler-Donnersperg formed the Neo-Communist party KED. The party made the film "Victory Of Reason". A trailer for the film is available via YouTube. The film references Leifenstahl's 'Victory Of Belief' as well as Hegel's hypothesis that world history repeats itself as a 'lousy farce'.

So, also in the broadcast are tracks by Throbbing Gristle, S.P.K. and Laibach. Throbbing Gristle's "Journey Through A Body" was the first release on Walter Ulbricht Schallfolien in 1983. It is a recording of Throbbing Gristle's last studio recordings for an Italian radio station. S.P.K.'s "Auto Da-Fe" is a collection of their first 3 singles and three new pieces released (also) in 1983. The Laibach release is called "Rekapitulacija 1980-1984". Originally released in 1985 as a double LP I have the CD edition of 1989.

Also in the broadcast; Modelbau and two tracks from the recent "Xerox" album. This LP is limited to 25, another limited edition release is the Wagner Ödegärd 12" lathe cut "Skugg-Hasse" on Nazio Records. This is limited to 30 copies. The Modelbau LP is still available from the label here : http://www.des-astres-dor.com/category/1/modelbau-frans-de-waard/
The Colin Potter track comes from the brilliant "The Abominable Slowman" LP, more of which in the coming broadcasts! The Crass track is the single sided 7" flexidisc that came free with the fanzine "Toxic Graffity" and was release 'On This Day' in 1980.

MuhMur Radio Broadcast 15 March 2018.

Back in the studio after a month away. "After The Snow" ... if only I had thought to open the programme with the Modern English classic ... ah well, hindsight is a wonderful thing. I suppose I could have chosen "Snow" by The Mekons, but I played that a few months back and as regular listeners know I don't like playing the same song twice. (Regular listeners ... who am I kidding?).
Time spent off air I was tidying up the CD's and CDR's at MuhMur HQ and I came across a pile of CDRs made for me by Mark Wharton. Mark being the guy behind the Idwal Fisher blog + Just Glittering fanzine. (http://idwalfisher.blogspot.co.uk). Back in the 1990's I used to exchange home built compilation tapes with Mark and at the turn of the century we both moved into CDR territory.  It's what folk at BBCRadio 6Music call 'Mixtapes' as if they'd invented it. So I sat and listened to these compilations for the first time in 10 / 15 years and a lot of what is on there is in this broadcast. Tunes by projects I know nothing about like Spacebox to classic German underground and the likes of Neu!, Einsturzende Neubauten and D.A.F. The William Basinski piece also comes from the pile.

Released in January on the Miami (Florida) based label 'Noir Age', the two pieces by Les Horribles Travailleurs and Mechanical Ape come from the cassette tape "Collaborative Soundworks". It is still available from the label. https://noir-age.bandcamp.com.
The Crispy Ambulance track is from their debut album "The Plateau Phase". The album was released on March 1 1982 by Factory Benelux and would have been in the broadcast that was cancelled because of the snow. It fits in beautifully after the Psychic TV track. Representing the "On This Day" section here are Blancmange with the "I've Seen The Word" 7" and the 1979 classic album "Live At The Witch Trials".

The tracks by D.A.F., Pyrolator and Fehlfarben are from the compilation "Verschwende Deine Jugend (Punk Und New Wave In Deutschland 1977-1983)" on the Universal label and still available via Discogs. Highly recommended and keeping with the Deutsche theme are the Diagram Brothers (From Manchester) and their German version of "Right Git". A bizarre single, I didn't know the Diagram Brothers had a big German fanbase.

Big thanks go to Tony Whitehead for getting me to the studio on time, I was stranded on Newton Abbot train station with trains being delayed and cancelled (After The Snow comes The Flood and Devon gets isolated!). Tony also managed to pre-record his "Radio Warblers" programme whilst I was broadcasting ... multimedia studios!

MuhMur Radio Broadcast 15 February 2015.

Another cold, clear, crispy and starry night with the barking of geese and the hooting of owls with the distant sound of trains, I love walking through the Dartington Estate Woods on the way to the radio station. The days are getting longer though ... it won't be long before I leave the reflective tabard at home.

A grab bag of sounds featuring the latest release from Psychic TV. Cold Spring Records have re-issued the 1989 LP "Kondole - Ov Dolphins And Whales". A single album has grown into a double CD and DVD package. A bonus track of "Thee Shadow Creatures" and a 48 minute version of "Dead Cat" are added along with the film "Dead Cat" which featured Genesis P-Orridge and Derek Jarman. The original LP is one of my PTV favourites and this release just extends the sonic excellence. Recommended. A couple of CD's that were released towards the end of last year and totally passed me by arrived at MuhMur HQ earlier this month. "Moraine" by Splintered is another re-issue. Originally released as a vinyl LP in 1996 by German label Suggestion Records, "Moraine " is now a three track CD with "Moraine One : Flagellum Dei" surviving from the original release. The track "Moraine Two : Humayun" has been remixed by Stuart Carter and Sion Organ and not for the better in my opinion. Steve Pittis and his Band Of Pain have remixed the whole LP into a five minute mesh of madness. The CD has been released by Fourth Dimension Records.
Sutcliffe Jugend first appeared in 1982 with the "Campaign" cassette on Come Organisation. The they kind of stopped as Kevin Tomkins joined Whitehouse. The classic Whitehouse line-up of Tomkins / Bennett / Best. The next time I came across Kevin Tomkins was with the project Bodychoke and the 1994 album "Mindshaft" on Freek Records. A sound that isn't too far from what Ramleh, Skullflower and Splintered were achieving at the time, although different because Bodychoke were using cello and autoharp to build the sonics and lyrics of utter despair. Bodychoke were like a progression of (the old 4AD Records band) Mass. Like Freek Records Bodychoke faded away in the late 1990's. Ten years ago there was a suggestion that Dieter Müh should play live with Sutcliffe Jugend in London, so I mailed some CD's to Sutcliffe Jugend member Paul Taylor and in return he mailed me their latest offerings: "Pig Daddy" and "Fall Of Nature". The sound didn't appeal and the live project fell by the wayside .. I kind of left SJ alone until Hagshadow Records mailed the CD "Shame". Rather like hearing "Mindshaft" for the first time, the sound just blew me away - keep cranking up the volume just another notch ... the vitriolic rantings of Tomkins set against the droning wall of angry noise is pure poetry. I will have to go back and give the 2008 output another listen.

Another Hagshadow release that came out on Valentines Day this year is the 6 Comm / Hexas 7" "The Torture Gardeners". The single features two 'Retro Club 6' remixes, "The Torture Gardeners" being a dark wave version of the Death In June classic "The Torture Garden". I played the B-Side.

42º 33'04.7ºN  23º 45'18.1ºE "A Forest" is a hidden track on the new MyTrip/Valerinne cassette Ahead Is A Barren Land". The cassette has one track from MyTrip and two from the Post-Rock outfit Valerinne (who sound like a Romanian U2 to my ears). As by the rules of the DJ Handbook I was honour bound to play The Cure's "A Forest" straight afterwards.
A couple of days before broadcast and the Hive Mind & Aaron Dilloway single sided 12" "Forgotten Thirst" arrived at MuhMur HQ. Rearranged the playlist to fit it in .. a great slice of tape manipulations, looping and droning which brought to mind the Hive Mind & John Wiese 10" which I finished the broadcast on. Astute ears will note that "...Trick Satanism" starts at 33rpm but gradually slows down to @8 rpm by the end ... I was playing with the speed dial.

                                                             "Forgotten Thirst" 12".

This broadcast saw the return of "on this day" with the great Crass 7" "Nagasaki Nightmare". Also not quite on this day but worth remembering, February 5th was William Burroughs' 104th birthday.

MuhMur Radio Broadcast 1 February 2018.

The first time I heard "Rock n' Roll Station" was on the album of the same name by Nurse With Wound. It would have been early 1997, I was recording at the I.C. Studios in Tollerton North Yorkshire with Colin Potter at the controls and he was mentioning albums that had been recorded there, Nurse With Wound's "Rock n' Roll Station" being one of them. To be honest I had left NWW behind back in the 1980's with the "Sucked Orange" and M.T.T. split LP which I didn't care for much.  "Rock n' Roll Station" rejuiced me for getting back with the nurse. I didn't know it was a cover version until a couple of years later and Mick McDaid (of Outsider Records) gave me a tape with the Jac Berrocal track on it. And now there is the Kostis Kilymis version. Recorded live at cafe OTO, London, on January 6 this year. The track is available on Kostis's Soundcloud page but he kindly gave MuhMur Radio a CDR copy to play on the radio.
For more Kostis please go here : https://soundcloud.com/kostiskilymis
So for this programme I decided to play all 4 versions of the track that I have ... well that was the idea but (unfortunately) I failed with the Jac Berrocal / Façade version ... it comes from the 10" mini-LP picture disc on Alga Marghen and I slipped the needle on the wrong groove and what I play is the end of the piece ... the 'call to prayer' section. Nevermind - I also started to play the Helm track "Blue Scene" at the wrong speed ... but I don't think anyone noticed!
So, knowing I was going to play "Rock n' Roll Station" a few times as well as tracks from the new Helm 12" EP that arrived a few days earlier I built a playlist strong on rhythm, very unlike  a 'regular' broadcast. Comments came through later that they thought they'd tuned into the wrong station! Proof that my music collection is varied, methinks ...
Slow Hand Motēm track comes from the compilation LP "Tropical Heat Volume 2" on the Dutch MYOR label. Slow Hand Motēm is Canadian and a pioneer of Skweee. MYOR release a lot of Skweee.

                                                      'High Performance Issue #23' LP.

Bob & Bob are performance artists from Beverly Hills, USA. "Rotterbobs" comes from the compilation (double) album "High Performance - Issue #23 - The Record" on High Performance Records. "Rotterbobs" would be called 'skweee' these days, but 'skweee' wasn't around in 1983. I am interested in hearing more Bob & Bob if anyone has any old vinyl records or tapes. They released a 7" on Polygram in 1983. Please contact me via this blog if you know where I can get a copy.
Another artist (as prolific as Nurse With Wound) who I sort of lost interest in during the 1980's is Muslimgauze. The first hearings of "Buddhist On Fire" album and the two singles "Hammer & Sickle" and "Hunting Out With An Aerial Eye" had me as an instant 'fan'. By 1987 / 1988 albums were coming thick and fast and being on the dole in Manchester it was hard to spend cash on vinyl. Muslimgauze records were not cheap back then. The chaps at Eastern Bloc Records used to play them in their shop in Affleck's Palace and they were becoming similar so (like I mentioned) I began to lose interest. "Untitled" comes from the compilation CD "A Putrid Oasis" that is included in the book "Chasing The Shadow Of Bryn Jones" by Ibrahim Khider. Vinyl On Demand have done a great job with re-issuing the early sound of Muslimgauze and has relighted my interest in his sound.

                                                                 Muslimgauze Book.

Horizon 222 were a 90's project comprised of Ben Ponton and Andy Eardley of Soviet France and Andy Seymour of Ingleton Falls, whereas Delayer is Andy Eardley's solo project. "Can We Feel ...?" is from a 7" on the Austrian Klangalerie label.

Last week of January and I am chatting with my good friend Simon Kane and he mentions he is doing 'something' with Andrew W-K. I had no idea who Andrew W-K was so I googled him ... turns out Andrew W-K is rather a large rock "star" with his "Party Hard" anthem. He is touring the UK over easter and was in the UK in January to do some promotional work and 'motivational speaking'. The very next day after chatting with Simon Andrew W-K was on BBC Radio6 talking about is "Party Hard" manifesto - it's not necessary to live your dreams when your dreams live you .. or some such. Simon then mentioned Andrew had released stuff in the 1990's on Hanson Records and recorded with Aaron Dilloway and Wolf Eyes under the name of Andrew Wilkes-Krier, and then I discover he is on the "Labyrinths & Jokes" compilation album that came out on Hanson Records in 1998 .. and I have a copy. Not to be outdone by BBC Radio6 I decided to add Andrew W-K to the playlist. I still have no idea what Simon and Andrew were doing together.

Helm is the solo project of Luke Younger, one of the busiest people in experimental music with global touring, a radio show on NTS in London, operating the label Alter and playing a mean bass guitar with Hardcore Thrash outfit The Lowest Form. Last week saw the release of the 12"EP "World In Action Remixes" on Alter, a companion to the "World In Action" 12"EP released by the Trilogy Tapes in 2017.
I think everyone I know was upset by the passing of Mark E Smith on January 24th with myself included. I stopped buying Fall records sometime around the "Hex Enduction" / "Room To Live" period, dipping in once a twice when I took fancy to a single like "Bremen Nacht" and "Free Range".
I did meet Mark once. Just the once although he was a familiar face around Manchester pubs & clubs in the 1980's. After the release of "Live At The Witch Trials" album I started writing 'fan' mail to The Fall and there began a correspondence with Craig Scanlon. "Dragnet" was being recorded around this time. Back in them days letters started with name, address and telephone number in the top right hand corner. "Dragnet" was released and a tour began with D.A.F. as support. November 1979 and I am sat at home in the afternoon and the 'phone rings. It's Kay Carroll of The Fall! Craig had told her I was 'in a band' called Collide and would we like to support The Fall in Retford as D.A.F. had dropped off the tour due to angry reception from the audiences. Within hours we were at The Porterhouse in Retford sound checking and hanging with The Fall. Collide didn't fair better than D.A.F. that night. The DJ introduced as "From Lincoln" and from then on we were doomed. Mark thought we were a mod band because John (guitar / vocals) played a blood red Rickenbacker. We got paid £25 and given a big lump of Red Leb for our troubles.
There's no "On This Day" in this broadcast - I could have slipped in The Leyton Buzzards single "Saturday Night Beneath The Plastic Palm Trees", but it didn't seem to fit anywhere. Instead I pay passing tribute to Skullflower who released the great "Birthdeath" 12" on Broken Flag in January 1988. 30 years ago.

MuhMur Radio Broadcast 18 January 2018.

The first broadcast of 2018, and back to the two hour Thursday night (fortnightly) routine. A few ideas / projects lined up for the first few months ... but first a chance to play some sounds that arrived at MuhMur HQ over the festive holidays. (With a couple of old favourites).
With advice from Alex of Tordon Ljud distro I had a listen to MH_370. TL are distributing the cassette so there's a sound sample on their website .. and after a few minutes I knew I had to grab a copy. MH_370 is the only title on the cassette. Artist and title = MH_370. It seriously didn't connect until I played the tape in full and realised it was sounds built around the disappearance of flight MH_370 in 2014. The sound samples from black box recordings and news reports gave 'the game' away! The cassette is on Stockholm based label Hlioõ, I noticed they also released a cassette called "Der Rhein". A 40 minute odyssey recorded at various points along the river Rhine. These tapes are ultra limited. 25 / 30 copies. Still available via Tordon Ljud or Hlioõ at https://soundcloud.com/hliod

                                                                          MH_370.

The Susan Matthews track comes from a new double CDR release of Susan's compilation work from 2001 to 2016. Last month Greek label Noise-Below released a CDR by German droners Troum. "Hóro-Skopeíon" is dedicated to Gregoria and Pafsanias and is a ritual recording from June 2017 to celebrate the first birthday of their son.

                                                           "Hóro-Skopeíon" insert.

A release that past me by last year was Aqua Dentata's "One Day, You Will Be A Painter" on Echo Tango. It slipped out last May, and at the end of 2017 started appearing on folks' 'Top Ten' lists. Like all Aqua Dentata releases the tracks have no titles, and here I played the whole of side one. Four short pieces with Aqua Dentata discovering and exploring a harsh, dark and nightmarish soundscape. Hopefully 2018 will see the first vinyl release from Aqua Dentata.
Schuster is Tim Bayes, founder member of Ideas Beyond Filth and former participant in the Dieter Müh project. Over the past few weeks I have been rediscovering the Schuster sound from his first cassette on Silencer in 1986 through to his last release on his own Adeptsound label in 2012. (Expect more Schuster on the playlist throughout the coming programmes). Schuster releases are available via Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/artist/62493-Schuster

MuhMur Radio Festive Four Hour Feast Of Fun : 06 January 2018.

On the last day of Christmas SoundArt Radio broke into its' "Jingle Hell' automated playlist to let MuhMur Radio bring the traditional four (or sometimes five) festive broadcast. It's great fun to do and hopefully an opportunity for folk who don't usually listen to the evening programme to get a flavour of what happens. For the first time in four years I slipped in the 'On This Day' feature and played a track from The Mekons eponymous second album that came out on January 6 1980.

Quite often I don't get the chance to play new releases on the regular Thursday night programme due to the 'On This Day' feature or playing exclusive material etc ... and this programme gives me an opportunity to do that and play the slightly longer piece.
This broadcast gave me the chance to play the complete album "My Body, Your Temple" by Greek project Conjecture. A C30 tape released in November by Bulgarian label Amek with co-operation from the Berlin based label Raumklang Music. These sounds have made an impression. The cassette is available from : https://conjecture-project.bandcamp.com
The broadcast begins with new material from The Dead Mauriacs. "Chance Test" is an EP on their own NPH label. I have a feeling it was available only at the recent Ausklang Festival that took place in Hamburg over Christmas. I could be wrong. The CDR is dedicated to MuhMur Radio.
The J. Adolphe piece is from a forthcoming tape. I think it is to be released by Sinneslöschen sometime this month ... I am uncertain. J. Adolphe is the solo project of GerãuschManufaktur label boss Jan Warnke.
So, the majority of the tracks are from bands / projects / artists whose sounds I never got to play (or at least tracks from) with some old tunes to compliment the vibe. I had no idea that I had never played the two Dieter Müh tracks before.

Whilst the programme was being broadcast members of SoundArt Radio were preparing for a New Year ritual, welcoming in 2018 with song & dance that was being performed in the gardens of the Darlington Hall Estate and the Great Hall in the Estate. (You know, the place where 23 Skidoo recorded 'The Culling Is Coming'). A pagan affair with some great costumes. It was great fun running between studio and turntables with kids and adults alike practicing the dance, songs and trumpet blowing!

                                                      The Owl guarding the Great Hall.

                                                                   The Green Man.

And so to the corrections! I stated The Mekons LP was released in 1981 - wrong! also that the Conjecture cassette was a collaboration between Mahorka & Amek - wrong. Also that the next MuhMur Radio would be on January 16 at 8pm. - wrong ... it's January 18 at 20:00 (GMT).
