This week's show is devoted to the music of Anode, who were from Seattle and were associated with the Palace of Lights label. Active from the mid-'70s to the early '80s, they mostly only "released" privately circulated cassettes, two of which we'll hear today. Anode's lineup included: Robert Carlberg (synths, tapes, percussion), James Keller (piano, guitar), Dave Keller (bass & percussion), and Chas. D. Bronson III (drums).

BSI, re: Tyler Cowen's dining guide, I don't always agree w/him but it's useful for ideas & fun to read. I didn't like Bang Ga Nae in Alexandria as much as he did (I guess black goat stew is not my thing), but I've found some great Indian, Thai, and Burmese from that guide.

I wonder whether it all the extra profile stuff (which is new like from a week ago) that is slowing the system down!
  Tue. 1/22/13 12:23pm Robert Carlberg:

Too bad the firewall I'm behind doesn't allow streaming. I'd sorta like to hear the program!
  Tue. 1/22/13 12:24pm Sir Lancelot Pratt:

this track sounds like Black Sabbath's first album slowed down.

@Robert Carlberg: Are you at a network that's blocked it, or something?
Wonder if there's a work-around for you.

Robert!! So glad to have you here, even if you can't listen. I will send you the show later. Folks: Robert is the main man of Anode.
Avatar Tue. 1/22/13 12:27pm Tony Coulter:

@ Sir Lancelot: You might be right about the reasons for the delay. I've never experienced this before: a lag of at least a minute or two, which makes listing short tracks hard!

well whatever - I am certainly into the tracks you've played so far, sounds like a minimalist Faust!

was the palace of lights label a local Seattle label that put out lots of experimental rock music in the 70s?

@ Sir Lancelot Pratt: Yes, Palace of Lights was a very fine Seattle label, that has actually been reborn and is both reissuing old stuff and releasing new things.

  Tue. 1/22/13 1:41pm Robert Carlberg:

Yeah I'm behind a big industrial firewall that is locked down to the "T". Too many people were streaming Pandora! :)

Interesting (and more than a little weird) to see track titles of stuff I did more than 30 years ago. "Small Events and Delicate Silences" is a phrase I picked out of Anais Nin's writings, whom I loved at the time. Ever read "Under A Glass Bell"?

How in the world did you get a copy of "Kinetic Experiments"? I think only about 5 copies were ever made....

I appreciate the sentiment, but Kerry Leimer's stuff from the same period is 1000x better. He's been slowly assembling new CDs from the old cassettes -- go visit PalaceOfLights.com and encourage him to finish them.

Avatar ♥   Tue. 1/22/13 2:53pm Rich in Washington:

@BSI: I actually need the whole kit n' kaboodle, as my amp is proving problematic, as is my old cheap cassette deck. I always hated autoreverse for playing back or trying to rip them to computer files. It just makes it confusing.
The cassette player I have in my setup is actually an old Sony Walkman, which is simple and easy to cue, etc, but I'd like a conventional deck now, more fully integrated into my setup.
