Don't forget the sunglasses























Michael Bundt is a well known name among fans of obscure electronics. Here's his third solo album released in 1980 on Blubber Lips . It's a good bit more experimental than the predecessor, the lovely cosmic ether-pop record "Neon" - in fact even weirder than his first. Be prepared and grab your shades....

PS. maybe someone remembers the c64 game "Maniac Mansion"? I have always thought "The Tower Of Osc" would have been a nice addition to the soundtrack of that game. The tentacle song maybe? Chow chow!

Cybotron Live!!!


Our friend Michael from NOISE IN MY HEAD offered to share a wonderful piece of OZ Electronics. How could we resist? May I pass the mic to Michael:

"Recorded in the same year as their landmark debut, Sunday Night at the Total Theatre sees Cybotron's core Steve Braund and Geoff Green hypnotise a theatre of attentive space cadets with otherworldly drones and a chugging beat. I feel a rather romantic connection with this private press given that it was performed on a Sunday eve in Melbourne, just like our weekly radio show 30+ years later. Parallel worlds converge when transmitted on the FM airwaves. Unfortunately not the easiest piece to find from the Cybotron catalogue, the LP was apparently given away at a subsequent concert. Those were the days. Recently I had the pleasure of interviewing Ian MacFarlane who played in a later incarnation of the live Cybotron experience and also made three brilliant long playing tapestries of kooky solo synth miniatures. He shared some interesting insight into why the band were such pioneers of their era. You can hear that here: http://www.noiseinmyhead.com.au/index.php?/archive-2011/161011-w-ron-morelliian-macfarlane/"


Thanks a lot Michael!

Back to the Oasis













































Hugest thanks to ONEDOTZERO.COM.PT who sent me on a trip to the beautiful shores of Portugal and made it possible to see some of Porto's record stores after a long night of incredible short films, nicest people, wonderful white wine (Douro!!!) and lots of music....
Back to the record shop: My wrecked eyes hoped to see some Rão Kyao LPs there and to my deepest pleasure they did.
Now here's the first one that I found last summer already and kept enjoying it ever since. It's a beautiful mix of oriental melodies and fado inspired jazz. A very unique sound and that's what I love it for. Check it out! Cheers, Basso


Plus Minus Null



I have just received a note about the relaunch of the good old Force Inc. label and it's "first" release being the MARROW - PLUS MINUS NULL lp. I haven't been paying proper attention to minimal for quite some time and now this one made me wake up. Probably because there's some melody and that lovely bit of melancholy in it... If you too like it deep and crystal clear check it out here

(sorry for the youtube teaser, the guys are very precautious with their material, even their promo.mp3s are cut (!!!) and there's no soundcloud as well....)

The real Mucke Fuck
























Before you download this I'd like to speak out a warning.
This self titled Mucke Fuck LP from 1973 on the tiny and possibly private Knöterich label is funny (silly, etc) and entertaining and the sound is quite "recorded at home in dad's beercellar" (it probably was...)  - horrible that is.
There's bits of music - folkrock with dissonant singing and grunting, lots of spoken word (german and sometimes even some english) and laughter....... After hearing the whole thing you might end up sitting down in the cellar with these young guys taking two and passing. "Would you mind to give me another one of those lovely sugarcubes? Here's another beer!"
God bless the dilettantes!!!

PS. Mucke Fuck is the german slang word for ersatz coffee, probably originated from the french "mocca faux"

More Allegro Jazz














































Thank to Michael we are able to post more of the amazing Allegro Jazz Ensemble. This LP called "The Golden Mean" was recorded in 1984 and released in 1985 on the Melodia label. Once again very long and epic tracks: Fantasy in G Minor (10:23) and Composition on a theme of Cole Porter (10:34) on side A and Concert Suite in Three Movements (20:52) on side B. Enjoy!!

Outta Sightsound

Following my soft spot for obscure private pressings here's yet another one. Cogwheel's Sightsound LP from an unknown (to me) year in the seventies?? If you check the details here  you'll find that there is a classical background  to most of the tracks, especially on the first side. Opening with lovely "Krautrock" including reversed drums and epic synths, it flows guitar-gently until the standout track "Latin Glasses" on side B wakes you up and calls for a dance or two (i wouldn't dare to say it'd move masses but a little "free dance" should be possible). This track will definitely appeal to the lovers of library music. Maybe the whole thing will as it's close to the sound of some german libraries of that period (i'm still guessing 1976-1978 until someone with expert knowledge enlightens my dull dungeon). If you're not into classical melodies and obscure stuff save yourself from those damn ads on the download sites and forget about it immediately..... if you are a sucker for old cheese, you might be very happy with it.
Cheers, Basso

Thanks, Michael !

out of this world: In This World



Now here you have some Russian Jazz. I'm far from being an expert in Jazz from Russia but I guess there must be tons out there. Only have some Allegro, Arsenal, Bumerang and Kutsenko, ... and here is my fave among them: The Allegro Jazz Ensemble's "In This World" from 1981. Powerful sound with partly funky rhythms and some solid synths.... and then there's that bass in the last tune......... Both sides are suites, but I dared to divide them into parts.
Cheers!

Benoit Hutin - Synthétiseur

Benoit Hutin - WM 006, 1982 - Synthétiseur

With my head usually firmly stuck up the library end of music, I do occasionally rip other stuff. And what better place to share it than on The Growing Bin? Thanks to the team for letting me do so! Hope you'll enjoy the music :)

Having heard Benoit Hutin's fine contributions to the elusive librarylabel, Musax, I've been looking for his stuff. I found a somewhat battered copy of his 1982 debut album, and was happy to discover some fine electronic music so typically French; catchy and fittingly pompous. They must have added something to the tap water back then, enjoy!

Nacht-Schicht














































A long time after "Airport International" from the amazing Sound Factory Inc. has been posted here "Night Shift" finally follows. According to the info on the cover we're writing 1979 and the discobeat found his way into the Factory's grooves. Guessing from the sound "Airport" should be a few years older, 1975-1976 maybe... but back to 1979 - the Sound Factory Inc.'s sound is a little les focussed on trombone but they are still playing excellent Jizz Funk with Fritz Münzer laying down these lovely flute grooves. Even the infamous Rainer Pusch is doing his thing on saxophone here... on the keys Pit Löw, also known as P. L. (!)
The Sound Factory Inc. changed their name to "House-Band" in 1982 and recorded at least 3 library LPs in the following years. These will pop up here some time ..... just like the link for your Nightshift.
Cheers!

P.S. Doesn't the "Limehouse Groover" really sound like a Reith composition?

Vytas Offers More

























First of all big thanks to Zeroy, Tako and Abel. Without them I probably still wouldn't have heard about Vytas Brenner and his music. In the last 3 years I have spent quite a bit of time and that other stuff trying to get hold of his complete LP catalogue and I yet didn't succeed. There's quite a few LPs he made.... and amazingly all that I got to know by now are excellent. Here's a special one "Ofrenda" from 1978. You might call this Psychedelic Jazz Funk. But first listen ......

info here

cheers, Basso

EXTRA THANKS TO ZEROY FOR THE GREAT IMAGES
