Good morning, and happy Sunday.
Well, it's the end of the Computer Music Magazine tapes. I'm going to dig around and take a look at what other series of tapes that I can listen to, as I found doing this very fun, and was wonderful to explore new music.
The first track that came on side 1, was a collaboration between The Eurythmics and Chris and Cosey, which is amazing of course, however, the one I chose was on side 2 by Richard Attree and Alejandro Vinao (I hope I spelled his first name right, as it wasn't listed on the tape) simply called System or System track.
So that's it. I hope everyone who was following from the old site platform has enjoyed the journey through these twelve tapes as I did. If you're new and came in just recently, you can find all of them on here, where I reposted the ones I was doing before the move.
Thanks for reading and listening along, and hopefully we will have more series. If anyone knows of any, that can be accessed from, say, the Internet Archive, so not just myself can listen to them, but it's free for everyone to listen to, feel free to leave a comment in here, the guest book on the sidebar here under my profile, or make a post under these on my Bluesky account.

Well, the obvious answer, for me, would be "Insane Music for Insane People", the series of compilations by belgian industrial purveyors Insane Music (aka. Alain Neffe, from the band Bene Gesserit). https://www.discogs.com/fr/label/16624-Insane-Music. Sadly, you can only find some of those on Internet Archive / Youtube / Bandcamp, but not all of them.
ReplyDeleteAnother that comes to mind (and the main series is on IA) would be "Analog Cyberpunk". I'll just copy their own presentation: "The main genre is Analog CyberPunk. It best fits the description of U.F.O.s, giant robots and bored East Germans. The synths are generally more harsh and loud, and the singing serious or disinterested. (...) Bands that have inspired this project include Kraftwerk, Devo, Gary Numan, Joy Division, The Residents, early OMD, Tuxedomoon and The Normal."

Then, in a more folk horror-y / psychedelic folk / hauntological / dark ambient fashion, i quite like the "Lammas Night Laments" series.

And, finally, by the great folk-ambient musician David Colohan, there's many many compilations to choose from but i'm thinking in particular of his "Ivy-Strangled Path" series, again, somewhere between 60's/70's indents, acid folk, old prog, hauntology, early electronics music.

Thanks for the list. I have the Insane Music For Insane People compilations and was thinking actually of just hitting a random shuffle on my mp3 player to have it land on an album of the day. However, I wanted something that the reader could listen along. Though, Music For Insane People is on the archive.
ReplyDeleteI also took a look at Analog Cyberpunk. Already I'm liking what I see. Tuxedomoon, Solid Space and Chrome. I have to check them out further. I love those bands.
Now, what of interest here, is Lammas Night Laments. I never heard of this. I also am not familiar with most of the bands on there. Which is something I'm also looking for as well with doing another series of tapes; to explore new bands. I love neofolk and dark psychedelia. I really want to dive into this.
I was thinking of diving into The Noise-Arch Archive ( https://archive.org/details/noise-arch) as I always wanted to dive into those, but there's over 400 in there. That would be one long series.
I'm going to do a few single compilations just because I've been wanting to hear them after finding them on the archive, but I may then dive into the series of Lammas Night Laments of records.
Thanks a lot for the recommendations.
