Forced Cohesion (1990) C46

I've never been entirely keen on the idea of split tapes, but I suppose it depends on who is involved, and Forced Cohesion has some justification for billing itself as neither entirely the work of Illusion of Safety nor Runzelstirn and However You Spell It. Dan Burke and Rudolf Eb.er are amongst those involved and it does its job very well, but you're probably best figuring out where one artist ends and the other begins for yourself.

 

Unfortunately this will be the last of the material kindly shared with me by Richard of Chainsaw Cassettes (there were a few other things but mostly already out there and I didn't want to go stepping on any toes), so I'm not sure what you'll find here this time next week, if anything. I have a few things I intend to digitise, seeing as I've had my tape deck repaired, so there will be more at some point.

Due Process - RRRadio 35 (1989) C60

 

 

Here's some more from Due Process, specifically another hours worth of RRRadio from 1989. If you've been following this blog for the last few weeks, you'll doubtless be familiar with the premise of RRRadio which was a broadcast, often collaborative effort utilising contributions from people who make funny noises across the globe; so Switzerland's Runzelstirn & Gurgelstøck are on here somewhere, possibly amongst others. Some of it appears to comprise a recording of someone listening to the hits on AM radio whilst providing an intermittent commentary, but much like Forrest Gump's proverbial box of choccies, you never know what you're going to get with RRRadio, and there seems to be a point to even the boring bits, not least the emphasis on the stranger interludes. I'm sort of surprised no-one has yet done a fancy box of this stuff. I've heard a lot of noise over the years, and Due Process seemed to have something fairly unique, even if it's not always easy to pinpoint quite what it is.
