Slipstream - Meal Strips/Prism Tales

Slipstream - Meal Strips/Prism Tales
Recorded Sometime in 2016(?)
Unreleased

Here we have more or less a demo tape by Slipstream, aka Jay Fox of Fargo, who'd previously played out as Braindeer among other names I can't remember off the top of my head- if you ever went to a show in Fargo and there was so much fog machine going on you couldn't see two feet in front of you and all you could hear was rhythmic pulsing drones punctuated occasionally by a cacophony of tinkling music boxes then you were at a Braindeer show! And this tape is more or less like that, maybe a bit less noisey and more like a blurred reflection of dance music, but still moving through the shifting fog.

How To Sleep - How To Sleep

How To Sleep - How To Sleep
Originally Released 2000

And here is the How To Sleep Tape mentioned in the previous post! This was 'made to order' so every tape was different, so I'm the only person who's heard this particular recording up until now unless I forced someone to listen to it with me. This recording is a noise collage with some COPS sounding samples, feedback and synths, kinda spacey to harsh, recorded over a cassette single. Here's the artist's conception of the setup used-

4 Flies On Grey Velvet/Masters Of The Universe - Split

4 Flies On Grey Velvet/Masters Of The Universe - Split
Originally Released 1999

Back when I started making noise and trading tapes, everybody was doing a split with Jason Campbell, aka 4 Flies On Grey Velvet, aka Wallmaster, aka Static 666, etc etc. I did one, Prurient did one, Emil Beaulieau did one, and Masters of the Universe did one too! Masters of The Universe was two people from Lansdale PA, one of which also recorded as Gordon Deathswamp's Glass Of Juice, [math] and How To Sleep, the other who recorded as Street Pole Skinner and I think they were in a different band together besides this one! How did we all have the time for this? Anyway, 4FOGV on this recording are actually kinda dark ambient-ish rather than harsh noise/HNW, and then on the flip MOTU does drum machine and keyboard abstracted pop music?? And I love it??

Dogproofraccoonbubble - 57 Different Versions Of The Same 5 Children Live In Me

Dogproofraccoonbubble - 57 Different Versions Of The Same 5 Children Live In Me
Originally Released 2001

DPRB is someone who found me when I was running a tape label (very badly, sorry everyone!) called Lucha Libre Recordings because they traded Mexican wrestling VHS tapes! Luckily they also made noise and we traded a bunch of stuff back and forth. I have no idea how much gear they had when they were making their recordings but my guess would be not very much at all! Listening to this, knowing when it was made and how lofi, low budget it sounds, I am constantly asking- how how how did they make these sounds? It's beautiful, it's terrifying, it's mournful, it's funny! It's more than two hours long! It's a window into someone's brain!

Prurient - A Simple Mark

Prurient - A Simple Mark
Originally Released 1998

Hey look it's the very first Prurient album! If you want a flac rip of this then track it down and rip it your own damn self, I'm not gonna do it. I am not 100% on the track splitting on the b-side cos the art says five tracks but I hear six and there aren't any silent gaps after the first two tracks but I asked Brandon O'Blivion if I should leave it unindexed and they said "nah" so there ya go!
