    “Golpea Tu Cerebro” (“Shake Your Brain”) is the first ever vinyl compilation dedicated to the unknown yet fascinating Spanish underground cassette scene from the ’80s.

    In the early 80s, with few resources but unlimited imagination, youngsters all across Spain started recording at home their experimental, noise, electronic and industrial cassettes.

    They were influenced by DIY, Futurism, Dada as well as by the early Industrial bands (Throbbing Gristle, Whitehouse, Nurse With Wound, S.P.K, Cabaret Voltaire, NON, Esplendor Geométrico, etc), which were championed in Spain thanks to adventurous radio shows, fanzines and mail order catalogues selling imported and domestic albums and cassettes.

    We’re talking about what probably was the first DIY and truly independent music scene in Spain. The dark side of the “Movida”. Individualism and avant-gardism in opposition to superficiality and emptiness. Most of these projects were just one-man operations or collectives created by friends. We’re talking about underground tape labels like ä.d.n, El Consumo Del Miedo, Auxilio de Cientos, S.T.I., Obreros del Sonido, Toracic Tapes, 3EM…and fanzines like Cloruro Sónico, Necronomicon, Particular Motors, Syntorama, El Papel de la Merienda…

    They released their cassettes in limited homemade editions and there were lot of exchanges with other creators and participations in compilation cassettes from worldwide labels within the International Tape Network.

    Featuring legendary names like LA OTRA CARA DE UN JARDÍN, COMANDO BRUNO, LÍNEA TÁCTICA. FRANCISCO LÓPEZ, UVEGRAF, ÉTICA MAKINAL, L’AKSTREMAUNÇIÓ, NEO ZELANDA, SEPTIEMBRE NEGRO, TÉCNICA MATERIAL, FÍSODO 13.4 along with obscurities like EL ENTERRADOR ENTERRADO, 1985, ZUMBI-2, BRIGADA NADIE and more.

    Including tracks originally released on rare cassettes and compilations along with a few previously unreleased ones.

    Sound taken from the original cassettes / reel-to reels and remastered by Ángel Álvarez (Septiembre Negro / Linneo Dos).

    Primitive harsh noise; dark electronics; wild tape manipulation; electroacoustic noise and just homemade weirdness…

    52 page bilingual English / Spanish insert includes and introduction/ essay and detailed info about each artist. Lots of photos and memorabilia are also included.

    RIYL: ESPLENDOR GEOMÉTRICO, THROBBING GRISTLE, NON, WHITEHOUSE, NURSE WITH WOUND, VIVENZA, MAURIZIO BIANCHI…

    “Golpea Tu Cerebro” es la primera recopilación en vinilo dedicada la todavía desconocida pero fascinante escena española underground de cassettes de los 80.

    Con muy pocos medios, pero gran imaginación, una serie de creadores, la mayoría de ellos muy jóvenes, empezaron a principios de los 80 a grabar sus cintas ruidosas, industriales, electrónicas y experimentales. Estaban influidos por las vanguardias artísticas del siglo XX (Futurismo, Dada, Surrealismo) así como por el mail-art, el DIY y por el bombazo que supone la irrupción de pioneros de la música industrial (Throbbing Gristle, Whitehouse, Nurse With Wound, S.P.K, Cabaret Voltaire, NON, Esplendor Geométrico, etc), que se dieron a conocer en España gracias a programas de radio, fanzines, revistas y catálogos de venta por correo de discos de importación y cassettes nacionales y extranjeras.

    Estamos hablando de la que se podría considerar como la primera escena autosuficiente, DIY e independiente que se produce en nuestro país. El reverso tenebroso de la Movida. Individualismo y radicalidad sonora frente a frivolidad y superficialidad.

    La mayoría de los protagonistas de esta escena eran células individuales o colectivos formados por amigos, dispersos por todo el territorio español. En cualquier ciudad o pueblo, no sólo en grandes urbes como Madrid o Barcelona, aparecían inquietos personajes editando fanzines o grabando sus cintas experimentales. Comienzan a aparecer sellos como ä.d.n, El Consumo Del Miedo, Auxilio de Cientos, S.T.I., Obreros del Sonido, Toracic Tapes, 3EM…y fanzines como Cloruro Sónico, Necronomicon, Particular Motors, Syntorama, El Papel de la Merienda…

    Editaban sus cassettes en ediciones muy limitadas y caseras y hubo multitud de intercambios con grupos, sellos y creadores, tanto nacionales como extranjeros, así como participaciones en recopilaciones de sellos de cassettes de todo el mundo, englobados dentro de la “International Tape Network”.

    Aquí encontrarás a nombres legendarios como LA OTRA CARA DE UN JARDÍN, COMANDO BRUNO, LÍNEA TÁCTICA. FRANCISCO LÓPEZ, UVEGRAF, ÉTICA MAKINAL, L’AKSTREMAUNÇIÓ, SEPTIEMBRE NEGRO, NEO ZELANDA TÉCNICA MATERIAL, FÍSODO 13.4, etc, junto a sujetos más oscuros como EL ENTERRADOR ENTERRADO, 1985, ZUMBI-2, BRIGADA NADIE y muchos más.

    El libreto a tamaño LP de 52 páginas ofrece información detallada sobre toda esta escena y los creadores incluidos, además de raras fotos, memorabilia, etc.

    Todas las canciones han sido seleccionadas de raras cassettes y recopilaciones de la época y se incluyen algunas inéditas.
    Sonido extraído de las cassettes y bobinas originales y remasterizado por Ángel Álvarez (Septiembre Negro / Linneo Dos).

    Ruido extremo, proto-harsh noise, electrónica oscura, manipulación de cinta, ruido electroacústico, primitivos sonidos industriales y todo tipo de experimentación casera “házlo-tu-mismo”.

    Format:2 × CD, Album
    Country: UK
    Released: 06 Jan 2017
    Style: Noise, Psychedelic

    The new sprawling double disc from black noise classicists Skullflower – referencing Inferno 17, Dante and Virgil’s spiralling descent into the abyss on demon Geryon. Full of harsh beauty and hymns for lost Albions, battle songs against the homogenisation of modern ‘lyfe’– f**k the new estate!

    “Hedgerows, tapestries, dream woods, dragon lands. After «Draconis”, we have been released to roam through the multiverse, fashioning trinkets and ornaments from jewelled sounds, and leaving them as waymarkers on our astral travels. We seem to be circling, encountering familiar territories, yet always changed, because these circles, from a true perspective; are all part of a great averse spiral, our pattern, our map, which is the terrain itself. You will hear hints and echoes of native keening, lush prog romanticism, and the charcoal textures of noise, but all subsumed within our alchemy, the unmistakable wellspring of sound that is SF».

    Streicher – Annihilism

    Label: Old Captain
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue
    Country: Ukraine
    Released: Feb 2015
    Style: Power Electronics, Industrial

    Streicher is one of the Industrial underground legends. Starting in Australia in the mid 80s with early projects such as Psy.Phalanx and Nife Junger, Ulex Xane began his Power Electronics/nOise project Streicher with a series of tape releases on his own label Zero Cabal. Originally inspired by his contact with Come Organisation (William Bennett of Whitehouse) and Broken Flag (Gary Mundy of Ramleh), Xane developed Streicher into his own unique style of Power Electronics, which came to be known as ‘Oi Noise’, extreme noise released mostly on cassette and distributed through the tape networks up to the early 90s which are now sought after collectors items. Streicher utilises a mix of total power noise with covert military recordings. A monument to futility, Streicher’s “Annihilism” recording is a stark comment on the current war without end. Recorded at Anal Ripper Studio in 1989-1991 and originally released by Zero Cabal in 1995. Old Captain’s 2015 special 20th Anniversary re-issue edition of 200 copies in 4 panel Digipak.

    Gender Trouble ‎– Chokehair
    Label: Dark Vinyl Records ‎– DV69
    Format: CD
    Country:Germany
    Released: 11 Nov 2016
    Style: Industrial, Techno, Noise

    Gender Trouble is a new project by R. Loren (Pyramids / Sailors With Wax Wings / White Moth) and Faith Malimba (Black Doll), along with guest collaborators including Kenneth Parker and Ashley Scott Jones, and vocal spots by Marissa Nadler, and Scout Pare Phillips. “Chokehair explores the much ignored / maligned / ignored genre of Harsh Noise Wall through the prism of noise, techno, and the spectacle. Gender Trouble is static and synth and more static, waves and waves of static, and rejection of music and rejection of nihilism, but with a decent beat you can (but won’t) dance to. Indebted equally to The Rita and Tiesto, I feel confident that if Little Richard was conceived in 1990, this is the music he’d be making today”. 6-panel digisleeve.

    Maurizio Bianchi – NH/HN

    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered
    Country: Singapore
    Released: 26 Sep 2015
    Style: Experimental, Industrial, Noise

    This was initially self released in September 1980 as a private cassette tape by Maurizio Bianchi, which has seen the emergence of several unauthorized bootleg editions of tape and vinyl formats. However, they were wrongly classified as this original NH/HN release when they were in actual fact, the “Nervo/Hydra” tape that was released slightly after in 1981. After 35 years, this original NH/HN release has once again seen the light of day and is presented in its true form of abstract sound collages comprising synthesizers, tape loops and noise samples, all being completely remastered and reworked by Siegmar Fricke from Pharmakustik.
