Going Off Duty Outro [extended]
[1] "Les Baxter Conducts 101 Strings" on Marble Arch, 1970. Before Eno there was Baxter. Before virtual reality there was the Grass Hut Lounge, before interface there was shitfaced.
[2] "Urbanisation in Country" a 12-inch on Disorient / Sushi 13, 1998. Chilled dubby ambience and blissed beats.
[3] "La Plus Belle Africaine" on Belgique Musique / Downsall / Lowlands. Music by Dirk Swarten broekx. Excellent loungy gone a might jittery. That schiziodal feel between too much coffee and too much meditation. Or just enough. Very deep grooves.
[4] "Luna Park 010" features an incredible collection of word mangling heavyweights protonouveau nonsensesound poetry. Highly recommended. With Apollinaire, Mayakovski, Joyce [tin sliver-voiced and all], Artaud, Tzara, Duchamp, e.e. cummings, gysin and others. words have never seemed so alien and other and have never served so little purpose while seeming to mean so much without knowingquite why. www.subrosa.net
[5] "Redpath House" on Universal Egg http://wobblyweb.com/ueindex The extrapolated connections between electronics and ecstasy, mixing and psychedelic experience - one approximates the other at the fertile doorway called the inner ear. How does sound trigger deepseated memories of alternate consciousnesses?
[6] "Wreck This Mess: Remission 2: Ambient-Industrial vs Electronic-Dub vs Hypnotic-Grooves" on Noise Museum www.zone51.com/noisemuseum This is volume 2 of the WTM series. It includes Twilight Circus, Spectre, Systemwide, Dub Factory, Extremadura, Botom Botom, Holon, Silk Saw, DJ Spooky, Egon Zo vs Digidub, Audio Active, Starfish Pool, Andrew Lagowski. Here Laurent expands the empire of WTM, into new unforeseen markets. This is a painstakingly and precisely edited disc. He is very particular about what he likes and here it all fits into a meticulous polemic of sound and noise against hyper-mediated commerce. The Starfish Pool cut is pure beautiful insanity - a mechanical loop of menacing jangling machinery that ends up lilting along until you find yourself not scrunching your shoulders but unwinding. One of the choicest cuts. Systemwide fits in with new roots Muslimgauze and Rootsman. BSI www.bsi-records.com One of the other killer cuts is by Twilight Circus, ex-bassist of the Legendary Pink dots [a great band in their own right], Ryan Moore, based in Holland, who is producing some of Holon sounds a lot like they have studied the likes of Depth Charge and maybe in their past even absorbed something of early Residents. Very explosive and ups the stakes of dub. It is is pure joyous freeform breakbeats havoc - result of a meeting between Starfish and Riou.
[7] "Spaanse Romantiek" on CNR, 1979. Romantic guitar.
[8] "Grgl GRRRG NNNNgh: Weeks 5-10" private release, home recordings of my daughter's early attempts at communication.
[9] "Malando Speelt Wereldberoemde Tangos" [Malando plays world famous tangos] Malando & his Tango Orkest, on Philips.
[10] "Durutti Column Vini Reilly Fact 244' on the groundbreaking label, Factory. This strange strategic sound that was stuck in among all the attitudinal punk noise and snarling sounds - what was it doing there? Romantic anarchy. The sentimental gestures of overthrow as aesthetic? Beautiful.
[11] "Brainwashed" 12-inch on Ant Zen www.ant-zen.com The title comes from the CIA's newer brainwashing tek called rhic-edom. "rhic mean "radio hypnotic intra-cerebral control." While edom "stands for electronic dissolution of memory." And this disc with ex-members of Snog and Soma seems to test these notions - a seemingly disparate jag of unsettling noises and intrusions mixed with hypnotic trance to make mush of our deductive reasoning capacities. Together the 'sounds' here seem to want to explore auditorily, the notion of remotely induced hypnotic trance and the ability to deliver suggestions to the subject, and erase all memory for both the instruction period and the act which the subject is asked to perform.
[12] "Swedish Polka" on Cooking Vinyl is one of those crazed hybrids [this one from 1989!] of insanity, mix and - accordion in dub and reverb. Incredibly delirious.
[13] Live, Jive, & Over 45" Horowitz with Gilles Malkine, a private release. This guy is the living breathing incarnationof Lord Buckley, Lenny Bruce, and in the vein of the Fugs, does politics through humor and intelligence. He deserves more of an audience.

[14] "Tone Rec v/s Scanner" a 12-inch on Quantum / Sub Rosa www.subrosa.net
