Abner Malaty - Astral Decay



Cassette, C60
Label : Tonspur Tapes, Germany, 1988


Ancel Creamer, alias Abner Malaty, released a dozen tapes of ambient industrial music in the late eighties and early nineties. Though he gained recognition at that time, I fear he's been totally forgotten now...
If I shoud keep only one cassette by Abner Malaty, that would be "Astral Decay", so I share it as an introduction to the man's musical world for those who don't know it yet...


Tracklist :

A1. Open
A2. Read My Mind
A3. Memor
A4. Spirals The Seer Of Sound
A5. A Place In Space Man's Called Time
A6. To The Other Side
B1. Look, There's Blood In The Snow...
B2. N-O-Sense
B3. When All The Trees Are Gone

L'Akstremaunçió - Hradschin



Cassette, C40
Label : Self-released, Spain, 1984
Ripped by esnail


As far as I know, this is the first cassette by obscure catalan noise band L'Akstremaunçió. Their second cassette, "Pogrom A Aschkenas", has been posted on Dualtrack and The Thing On The Doorstep. In the comments of the Dualtrack post, DDV wrote that "Hradschin" was packed in X-ray plates (I can't confirm as I only have the files). In the comments of The Thing On The Doorstep post, an ex-member of L'Akstremaunçió wrote to say thanks... Maybe he (or someone else) could give us now more infos about "Hradschin" ?


Tracklist :

A1. Praha
A2. Hahnpassgasse7
A3. Obul, Mirall
B1. Katulisizma Pulitik
B2. AMT IV

Staaltape



Before becoming a famous CD label, Staalplaat was Staaltape, starting in the early eighties as a cassette label, whose "Documentatie Serie" offered both live and studio recordings.
