Various ‎Artists – "B9" (Sandwich Records ‎– SR07) 1981


Yes, here's another Belgian Cold Wave compilation from the height of said wave, from 1981. The year after Ian Curtis hung himself for our sins.The ripples that catalysed in the black oceans of despair spread far and wide, but nowhere tapped into that wave energy more than Belgium. Triggering a tsunami of dreary emotionally bankrupt misery.I'd slash my wrists but the doom-laden self-pity makes me feel so gaddamn alive!As Cold Wave christ,IC said, as he breathed his last during his asphyxiation: "Forgive me father for I didn't know what I started"..

Pseudo Code - "Potlatch Music Vol. 1" - ( Insane Music) 1980


Was there ever a genre called Minimal Wave Dark Industrial Rap?......;If not, then this is it. The "rapper" sounds like a hybrid of Mark E. Smith and Genesis P. Orridge, or anybody else with a middle initial in their stage persona.
It scores a healthy 6 on the Industrial cliché scale for the image of Auschwitz on the front, but this is rap music for miserable young men with long black overcoats and longer black fringes. A genre defining tape if ever there was one!
Having said that the whole of side B is probably in the  Ambient Dark Industrial Rap sphere of influence; consisting entirely of a field recording of the "outside" world (by Alain Neffe), a sound of silence type experiment of the ambient noise of a city.A lost opportunity to have P Diddy lay some of his deep poetry on whitey!?....Maybe next time eh?

Steps On Pavement 2:04

Cortex - " Souvenir / Souvenirs " - ( Grafika Airlines GRA 20) 1984



Another classic from superb Belgian label Grafika Airlines.
Basically it`s Alain Neffe, of Bene Gesserit and the Insane Music cassette label fame, with various sultry voiced female francophones, recorded from an astonishingly early 1975 to 1982.
Minimal is the word, and reminds one of the two Kluster albums from 1970/71.
A stark one tone electronic backing, fronted by  part narrated/ part sung, dialogue provided by the various girlies listed on the inlay card above.
Those Belgians sure know the meaning of the mantra: "Its not what you put in , its what you leave out".
And Cortex certainly left out a lot on this proto-Minimalist relic of a future that never happened.

Pseudo Code - "Remains to be heard, Volume 2" - (Isane Music INS15) 1986

Almost structureless free-ish electronic minimalism; some would call this Industrial, dare I say Jazz, as fronted by Mark E. Smith soundalike Xavier Stenmans. Non-Music made by non-musicians for non-musicians.
 The very fact that I am struggling to categorise this fine animal is a testament to some fine experimental music. It should be the aim of all experimental musics to escape definition as much as possible, and I think Pseudo Code have achieved this. Minimal free Industrial Jazz Rap anyone?......or have I "had too much to think"?(Don Van Vliet, 1980)
