Nino Nardini - Funny Moogy (1983, FR, electronic)
12/29/06
I bought this as a bootleg cd.
The bootlegger tried to reduce the noise of the old lp.
By doing so, he damaged some synthesizer sounds.
That's a pity. The music is excellent.

Anthology of Dutch Electronic Tape Music Volume 1 (1955-1966, NL, electronic)
12/27/06
This double album was released by Donemus and intended (I think) to be spread amongst university libraries. Donemus doesn't publish electro acoustic music anymore, NEAR (Nederlands Elektro-Akoestisch Repertoirecentrum) took that over. But their distribution was so bad, they left that to Basta M -
De Minuut van Ruud (Jaap Aap Show - Media-Mangel, 1989)
12/26/06
Vanochtend zag ik op YouTube een herhaling van de Jaap Aap Show van Andre van Duin bij een of ander Gala met Jos Brink. Dat deed me er aan denken dat bij mij nog een heel stel afleveringen op een plank staan te verpieteren.
Daarom ben ik aan't digitaliseren geslagen en de komende tijd zet -
Mr John Dowie - Another Close Shave (1977, UK, weird)
12/25/06
I saw John Dowie once on a festival. With another guy, they introduced each other as Mr. John Dowie. They did a song called 'Only Men Shave', as opposed to 'Only Women Bleed' which was a hit for Julie Covington at that time.
He hated the Dutch, but I loved -
Adrian Munsey - The Lost Sheep (1979, UK, weird)
12/24/06
Weird record. It is not clear to me if was meant that way when it was recorded. Adrian still makes melancholy music with his orchestra as you can hear and see on his website.
Somebody posted the video on YouTube. Mr Munsey impersonates his sheep here.
(the original video -
The Mad Mystery Sound - It's a Super-Spectacular Day (1979, US, weird)
12/23/06
According to Wikipedia this is a multisided record. Strange name, it is only playable on one side, but it has at least seven grooves. Each groove has it's own version of the same song. They all start the same but the ends are different. Which version you hear depends on where the stylus of your -
Roger Roger - Sounds Industrial (FR, electronic)
12/22/06
Finally a record from Roger Roger. The titles don't have names, just numbers.
Year of release is unknown.
On this stylish site you can read more about library music (in french).

A Flux in 3d - Divide (NL, 1982, electronic/new wave)
12/21/06
I think I now have found all the Vinyl flexi-disks I have. I didn't post them all, some are not really worth it. But this one is ok. The singer liked Alan Vega, I suppose. The instruments are sequencers and distorted guitar.
A Flux in 3d came from Nuenen, near Eindhoven a -
Georges Rodi - Electronic Sounds (FR, electronic)
12/14/06
Is it Roger Roger? Is it Nino Nardini? No, it's super Georges Rodi!
The Moog Cookbook must have heard this before they started.
All synthesizer with some guitar on Morning Song.
Too good to only be called 'library music'.
Especially Sideral Clock gets an 8 on the W -
Jah Wobble's Invaders of the Heart - Live in Holland (1982-1983, UK)
12/13/06
In the early eighties a lot of new wave bands were recorded live and transmitted by Dutch radio.
I recorded some of them on cassette tape. Including two concerts of Jah Wobble. It is not his best period, the music is a kind of improvisation jazz funk.
The first concert was in Vera, Groning -

The Yobs - Christmas Album (1980, UK, punk rock)
12/11/06
The Yobs were the Boys. Maybe they thought this alias was a swell idea.
Traditional songs with loud guitars, drums, shouting and swearing. Jingle Bells got a different approach: slow synthesizer work.
Again available on cd.
Here is a list of Christmas punk albums: ht -
A Christmas Record (1981, US, miscellaneous styles)
12/10/06
Not Christmas tunes done in a different style, but original songs.
Most happy melodies (except of course the ones by Suicide/Alan Vega), not always happy lyrics.
A sampler of ZE Records. Strange mixture but all very American Big City sounds.
Again available on cd. -
The Dickies - Silent Night (1978, US, punk)
12/09/06
Nice heavy Christmas song from the Dickies.
On the back side The Sound of Silence (*NOT*) of Simon & Garfunkel.
Not shared anymore. Complaints received. -
Vinyl (1981-1983)
12/08/06
I posted some flexi-discs from the Vinyl magazine.
You may wonder how it looked like.
Well, like this:
You might even wonder how it looked inside, you can download issue 2 as pdf (14MB).
Warning: it is in Dutch, except for the John Cooper Clarke interview and Ha -
Sy Mann - Switched On Santa! (1970, US, electronic)
12/06/06
I know, this lp pops up everywhere these days.
But I digitized it last week, so I share it now. In the Netherlands you don't do any christmas things before 'Sinterklaas' (a Santa Claus look alike), the 6th of December.
Sy Mann did the arrangements, Jean Jac -
Mekanik Kommando - ~~~~~~~ ++/+- (1981, NL, electronic/new wave)
12/05/06
Dutch band from Nijmegen. Although I lived in Nijmegen at that time, I managed never to see them. This was a free flexi-disc that came with the first issue of the Dutch modern music magazine 'Vinyl'.

Signal(s) (1981, NL, new wave)
12/04/06
Flexi from Dutch Vinyl magazine issue 2.
Signal(s) came from the south of the Netherlands (Maastricht, Eindhoven).
The music is, Joy Division like, Doom.
On a French web site they ask 30€ for a copy. Here you can get it for free!

Helmut Zacharias - Light my Fire (1971, DE, lounge)
12/02/06
Helmut Zacharias is a classical trained German violinist, orchestral leader and arranger. On this lp he assaults some well known pop songs.
I knew him from the wonderful Ultra-Lounge on the Rocks cd samplers and a few days ago I saw this lp for 5 and I couldn't resist buying it.
