Uncommunity - Brutality of Fact 7" (Cause for Concern/Black Dwarf cdcg 1) 1984

I hope this hasn't been posted already somewhere. This is the only vinyl release from Uncommunity, outside of a few compilation appearances.

Uncommunity was an early project by Tim Gane, who would go on to bigger and better things with McCarthy, and for the last 15+ years, Stereolab. This single was released in a numbered edition of 525 copies.

The a-side (title track) is an industrial mixture of machine-like noise, metal klangs and classical music.

The b-side holds up much better. The first track, Wall of Sleep (soundtrack), is a relaxing, yet slightly unsettling piece with guitar, a mic'd film projector, and some other plucked & scraped sounds. Anonymously dropping this track for someone could register so many guesses as to who it is, and Tim Gane would probably never be an early choice, if one at all.

The last track, The Price of Your Entry is Sin, is minimal electronics, backwards guitar and other sounds and occasional vocals. This track holds up to any number of French minimal synth groups from the early 80's who ventured into the darker, noisy side.

I have a few cassettes from Uncommunity. If anyone would like to see these posted, leave a comment here.

There is some unfortunate noise, crackle and a couple loud pops.
Enjoy.

V/A - Sound Cosmodel LP (Atelier Peyotl APSP-018) 1984

Finally finished this album requested by many visitors. Sound Cosmodel contains 50 short tracks by a variety of international musicians.

The album includes a nice large booklet featuring 'postcard' contributions from each artist/group.

Musically, this collection jumps all over the place from industrial, noise, synth, no wave, jazz, improv, rock...

A few of my favorites tracks here are:

Woo - The Western (for those who aren't familiar, I suggest checking out Mutant Sounds for their excellent LPs)

Morgan Fisher - Africasio (Jon Appleton-like melodic electronic droplets)

Banana - Kenosuna (With a wicked dark bass stab that, for many years now, I still keep expecting a Ed Rush/Nico (or insert many other d&b artists)-type beat to drop)

Feliu Gasull - La Tigre sa de Berna (flamenco guitar music that provides am interesting contrast to much of the other music on this album. This is exactly the impression I had of his appearance on Angelic Technology cassette posted here last year)

Con - Hommage a Kyoto (Conrad Schnitzler's signature synth sound circa his Egg label LP)

Sonoko Yasuda - George Boy (aka Sonoko, who released an LP & 7" on Crammed)

Nasmak provides a track that reminds me of This Heat
