Het Magisch Theater - " Magthea and Insanity " (Self-release) 1983


Any art that has the uber realist philosophy, as printed on the insert of this cassette,and I quote:
"The only meaning of life is Emptiness. The Horrible, beautiful Emptiness. There is no evil, no good; there is only the blind power of: to be or not to be, to will or not to will, to do or not to do. Nothing is arranged. It is chaos where-out the uncontrolled insanity grows...".
......has to be good!
But, this is great!
I assume this was intended as an accompanying electronic soundtrack  for some dodgy fringe theatre production in Antwerp, Belgium, back in 1983. A year when it seemed that everyone in that fine land had a synthesiser,and/or a minimal electronic project going on.
This C-60 is a forgotten classic of the era,full of throbbing oscillators, tin pot drum machines, and monophonic synths-a-plenty.
And remember,the only meaning of life is Emptiness, but the kind of emptiness found on this cassette gives life meaning.A horrible, beautiful meaning.

Track Listing:

Side A : Untitled (30:58)
Side B : Untitled (31:10)

this is a great tape that I have myself but without the poster.... its a pity that the magthea guy is such a prick haha

Dear Ghoulbog (great pseudonym),
It is my understanding that anyone that treads the boards,or describes themselves as an actor or artist, is generally a prick. Its just something people with at least some self esteem(like us), have to put up with. Without pricks there would be no great art! Beefheart,Picasso,John Lydon,Kubrick, the list goes on....all pricks; but what work!
