Rougeux - Recycled

Label : RRRecords / Statutory Tape

Country : US

Year : n/a

Format : C40

Last of these, finally. I like this one's cover the most, a nice and spacey piece of imagery. Probably a taped over newage tape. Here's some more smatterings of harsh-noise with some corrupted collage to make it more interesting. I first knew of this project from the excellent and seminal America The Beautiful CD from the same conglomerate that brought us the Recycled series, RRR. If I remember correctly, the first track they did in collaboration (in some way, shape, or form) was a brilliant lampooning of the titular anthem... Though I could be misremembering, it was a collage though.

Napalmed - Recycled

Label : RRR / Statutory Tape

Country : US

Year : 2000

Format : C90

I'm not much of a Noiseman sound insect, at least not as much as I used to be, but Napalmed are probably one of the better harsh gruppes out there. I've been sitting on this one for about 3 years, along with another one of these tapes I bought from Jerry's when he still had a big case of these specially ordered Recycled tapes from RRR... One of the tapes was blank so even you could be a star!

Come to think of it, I was planning on making a megapost for all these tapes, but it never came into fruition, instead fated to wither in my drafts. Maybe I'll do it later.

Various Artists - LowLife 17

Label : RRR Records - RRR-L03

Year : 1993

Country: US

Format : LP

Hello, here's something I've had for a little while and never bothered to upload for whatever reason. This here is a companion to the LowLife zine which apparently existed and RRR pressed for a coupla times... Too much indeh rawk here for me, don't care for it. There is some good avant moments, however. Murray Reams and Paul Hoskin play together on 'ere, and the mostly unknown band called Cake inverts their more popular and similarly named contemporary with some exp. folk dirges. Tinnitus is cool, too, and befitting of its name. My memory isn't very good, so maybe I imagined what this whole record sounded like in lieu of listening to it again. Well...

It also came with this booklet, presumably the zine in question. It's pretty cool, contains some reviews about now acclaimed cult klassics like Spiderland (a pretty ambivalent review for that one, all told). Some illustrations, too! Pretty... Didn't scan it, though.

Tapes Of Wrath - Recycled

Label : RRRecords / Statutory Tape

Year : n/a

Country : US

Format : C45

Another one of these. This time it's from Tapes Of Wrath, who seem to have been a one-off project from one of RRR's locked groove conceptual pieces. Not much more to say about this 'un, collage noise madness, taped over the greatest hits of Sir Elton John of all people.

Brume - Recycled

Label : RRR / Statutory

Year : 1990

Country : US

Format : C60

French musician Brume has a very wide and expansive discography, mostly falling under the genres of drone, noise, and ambient (frequently overlapping). This recycled tape is no exception. The cassette that was used seems to be an Techno/House/Trance (?) compilation and some parts of it seep through the overdub. I kept these parts for authenticity purposes and for the fact I'm not entirely sure their actually by Brume himself or not.
