What is THAT? TAPE THAT tapes almost everthing and layers it with almost everything else. Not soundscapes, but pieces of music created by juxtaposing different sounds in different spaces. Live playing in the studio layered, in real time, with ambient recordings from other places, complex microphone set ups recording the sounds up close and afar, samples put directly to TAPE as well as being recorded in the room, switching from this to THAT according to different principles of organisation and different structural limitations; different species of hits: The Background Hits, The Very Room Hits, Hit Hits, Pure Tape Hits, etc. The autumn collection can be listened to in numerous ways: Loud and up-close, soft and in the background. Add sounds to your house or hear speleologically through the layers of the sounds taped onto the CD. Everything you hear is taped live in the studio. No overdubs have been added in post-production. A little cutting here and there, though. Please enjoy it... -TT, november 2004 Â

Third instalment of our eclectic compilation series, fully sucked to capacity at 79:59, though there´s "only" 17 tracks this time. You get two tracks from norwegian duo RYFYLKE (Humbug releases an LP with them sometime in 2005!), bristling with heavy frequencies. A sample of up-close "selbstverprügelung" and subtle barnyard heckling from unidentified mental patients RAIONBASHI. Crude electronics from WAWA. A glacial and feverish meditation for metals, springs, radio and wire hangers by ORANGE, MANIFOLD. SINISTRI are sculptors of molten pulses and charged convulsions. Look out for their album on the Häpna label in the spring. There´s two tracks from PHÔ - a short blast taken from "This is Handiwork" CD + a live track from Rhiz in Wien where the boys are fronted by one Didi Bruckmayr in best maniacal form. Also from Italy (along with Sinistri) are OvO, hot on the heels of their fully cracked jamz of the live tape on Imvated. This tracks´s for guitar and whistles, Stefania and Bruno captured here in full stereo sound. WOODEN WAND & SATYA SAI BABA exhales and hits a strident rock chord, trances out, lays it bare. "Wet Margarete" by EXCEPTER is a keening call to hush things down, before the gorgeous slow movements of LUNT´s "You Keep Me Unafraid", a daydreaming haze of crystalline guitar loops. MASKINANLEGG tests your stereo output, while MOTH´s "Ohne Titel" (the final Moth recording), draws to a fried conclusion with subliminal hum and skeletal buzzes. ANDERS HANA´s piece is quiet and poised, barely pinches the skin. VIOLETS ROCK N ROLL suggests in the crudest of terms you better get the hell out of here, and finally IDEA FIRE COMPANY offers a salute to the weary listener with the epic 11-minute "Heroes". Comes in a heavy cardboard packaging, stupefying "pensjonist" themed artwork, an insert and a sticker. Limited to something.
A quote from the Italian Sands-zine, processed via Babelfish translator to wonderful effect: "If then, as qualitative level happens in this occasion, to pregevole corresponds also a quantitative optimum, the floppy disk is full as an egg, and a confection simil-de luxe, the promotion cannot be that to full ballots. "Cottage Industrial Vol. 3" contain all mark them coming from from the odierno underground, without psichedelico distinction between noise and folk or elettro-electronic and improvisation."
