Elekt Noiz (engl.)
9/2004
In 2003, It came into existence. And manypeoples from every fields talked about it quickly. TheVINYL-specialized label, Vinyl On Demand (VOD) is founded by a germannamed Frank Maier.
It is running for maniacs by a maniac.
"Vinyl-On-Demand has recognized, that very good material of the olddays has become very collectible but almost impossible to get. With theVinyl-On-Demand-concept, this material is now possible to obtain, inbetter quality than the original tapes and on a better medium. PripuzziRecords is a sublabel of Vinyl-On-Demand and should be seen as aplatform for, so far unknown, experimental artists not able to find alabel so far."...
Theses notes are from their Web-site.
Until now, 'Elekt Noiz' introduced the releases from some casettelabels in 1980's (Selektion, Tape Klar! etc...) as one of the roots oftoday's noise music. If an artist was releasing their music on thecasettes and the OFFICIAL vinyls, I really prefer the former to thelatter plainly. It is a interesting phenomenon in a unique era when the'Primal Instincts' were very important factor. Also these casettesfunctioned as a media sent us the movement of the scene directly.
So I'm hoping the VOD's future releasing what kind of casette reissue not stay only german stuff.
Also Pripuzzi Records opens the gate for unkown artists who cannot release their music by themselves.
It is the VOD's different intent in lots of the reissue labels. I mean,the diggin' the unknown talents no matter old or new is the VOD label'smost important view. If you interested in VOD, let's try it. the moredetails are shown on their Web-site.
Their first releases, VOD1.1 - 1.6 are the reissues of 6 casettes for
Die Toedliche Doris. It's a splendid achievement. In recent years,Doris 's sound archives were released by some labels and regarded veryhighly by maniac listeners or artists.
VOD releases arecrucial in these reissues. It's all recorded in the golden NDW era,1980 - 1984. And these plays are impossible to categorize...noise orpunk or comtemporary...They includes all of these elements. Forexample, there is a desperately chaos with the tense agitation and theextreme noise. On the other hand, there's a low-fi recording of thesociable party scene. In addition, there are collaboration with artistsfrom various fields like a mysterious beatnik poet or a femalefilmmaker. Doris always breaks limit of their representation.
If you only knows a facet of Doris as an art performance group after 1984, please listen these recordings.
Each vinyl include the source from one casette. Some LP include onlyaround 10 minutes recordings. So someone might think all recordingsshould be combine as the 2LP set. But thi s k ind of paranoiac fixationreveal the VOD's attitudes.
By way of parenthesis, they released the 66 limited deluxe box sets includes 6 LPs.
- VOD2 is the recordings by a very obscure NDW band in 80's. They wereplaying the eccentric sounds mixed the electronic archetype of the eraand the theatrical development reminds early Genesis'.
-VOD3 is the works by an artist named Graf Haufen in 1983 with prog-likeorgan, effected psychedelic voice...The profound combination is sointeresting.
- VOD4 is the recordings by a german artproject in 1979-84. It's the synthetic sound effects using the musicalinstruments and non-musical instruments. Sounds just like mixture of70s' and 80s' german music.
- VOD5 is the work by thecult prog-psyche band in Berlin . It's an amalgamation of the geometricplaying by sophisticated musical skills and the heaviness of rockmusic. It's like an preoccupation of post-rock acts in recent years.It's a 2LP with Their mainman, Max Mueller's minimal electronics sketchalbum recorded as a soundtrack for an early 80s' experimental film.
- VOD6 is the reissue of The New Blockaders' 1st LP. It's the 250limited edition reissue with high quality sound from the master tapeand released as a part of TNB's 21th anniversary series. Yes, only 99copies of 250 are the maniac 2LP box edition with their unreleasedfirst live recording in 1983.
VOD web-site said it's sold out before the release date. I raise my hat to you.
