Another tumble dryer of found sound
and radio shack effects units, fused together like trees from the
shores of pre-cambrian oceans to form what they now call diamonds,
and we unpopular sound lovers call, a Minoy/Zannoy cassette.
This Monochrome Melodrama of life starts off with a crescendo of
vacuum tube vacuousness spiralling in a vortex of effects units and
black noise. Which, in a back to front kind of way, tails off into a
flock of electronic Starlings gliding home to roost in the
electricity pylons carrying the output of an outmoded Nuclear power
plant.
There’s something strictly
Ante-deluvian about the work of these two characters(Minoy and
Hoffman), an ever present feeling of impending doom; like there’s
something shadowy just beyond your peripheral vision.......waiting.
Waiting for what, is up to the
interpretation of the listener; but as long as you are in a
reasonably sound psychological state, one can reach a momentary
plateau when all paranoia is cleansed,and life is normal again.But
don’t let that fool ya, the Government IS lying to you!

I agree, never a dull day to die, or DIY?
Ca me fait plaisir Monsieur!
Sorry, but the link is wrong!
Well spotted! I have now changed the link to the corrrect one, and i stupidly also reviewed the wrong tape too!How unprofessional of me!
It was mixed up with "the etiquette of Industrial Trauma"
Hello,
Thanks for your wonderful blog.
Just to know whether you had the opportunity to listen to (or even see) the Danny & Dressmakers "Mr OReilly" tape released on Organized Chaos Tapes (OUCH11)?
BTW, do you know whether the tapes mentioned on the 200 cancellations really exist? If yes, I'd be really curious to listen the basement and studio demos tapes from 1977.
Regards,
Jean.
Hi Jean,
Yes, i am certain these tapes existed, but i doubt they did in any quantity.Anywhere between one and ten lets say, strictly forr private ears i'd say.Maybe one day they will surface.
And, No, never heard or seen a copy of Mr O'Reilly! But I hope to in the future....;if there's anyone out there etc???
hilp! file not found!
any chance you could re up? 8-)
