Bene Gesserit - "Live in Belgium and Holland" ( Insane Music INS21/ Calypso Now ) 1983


Daddies of Beligian minimal wave, Bene Gesserit, show us how it should be done in a live environment, with their best tape. Full of raw analogue electronics, and plenty blood-curdling female screaming, especially at the end of side A. This is how you do it basically, a lesson in technology abuse from Alain Neffe and partner(s), and should be played to a teenager near you.
This is the version released on Calypso Now from Switzerland; there at least five other versions, including one on Alain Neffe's own Insane Music label.
Tracks A2, A3, A4, A6, A7, B3 and B4 recorded live at the Riches-Claires, Brussels, 9/4/1983 at
Tracks A1, B1, B2 and B5 recorded live at the Plan K, Brussels, 30/4/1983 at 3.00 am.

Years On Earth - "Site" - (Calypso Now C-60 YOE2) 1982



The information I have on this tape is even more minimal than the stark minimal electronica contained within it. Like a stripped down Cabaret Voltaire performing in the cold storage area of an abattoir, distant and eerie. Who were Years on Earth and why did they do this to us?
This should have been played to Phil Spector, then maybe we'd have been saved from those atrocious crimes against subtlety perpetrated in the 1960's and beyond;and could have even cleansed him of his unhealthy gun obsession?....maybe not!?
Yet another absolutely great minimal electronic tape from the early 1980's
Thanks again PJ!
