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

Excellent Blog - I love all the infomation you provide, especially on these obscure tapes.

Do you know the "Live Series 2" cassette put out by the Recloose Organisation? It features Het Zweet, Club Moral, Attrition, and Royal Family & The Poor (amongst others).

I be dead impressed if you could come up with this.

Thanks very much for this. Abner Malaty recordings are not so easy to track down these days! He apparently stopped recording in fairly sad circumstances.

could you tell us more about these circumstances ?
