GRINDSTONE REDUX DVD
The Story of the 1980s US Underground Music Network
While I have nothing to do with this DVD, it is so good I have to spotlight it. It's a documentary of the cassette culture of the 1980's. This vast and weighty
subject would be hard pressed to be completely covered in one scant hour but what is here is solid and gives a very good insight into the revolution of the 1980's.
Instead of me talking, let me quote from the Grindstone Redux webpage.
"Before there was an Internet or CDs or DVDs or even home computers, there was a revolution in the music industry against the standardization and monolithic grip of the major record labels in the 1980s by independent musicians and labels through the development of self-publishing. This is that story, as told by the people who made it happen. The revolution was fueled by technological developments in recording, reproduction and publishing. Artists took music publishing into their own hands. This phenomenon was unique to the 1980s. Grindstone Redux includes interviews with recording artists & independent label owners. It also includes rare vintage music videos from the 1980s, biographies and discographies."

You won't be sorry you did.
NEW HAL MCGEE COMPILATION!

"10 Years The Infection", this is my idea of a theme song for the 10 Years Infection Project and features the
wonderful vocals of Hannah Galli. Loops by Blind Mime Infection, Carpet Glue Unlimited, Coruscate, davefugle, Hannah Galli and Grunt from the 10 Years Infection Project. 10 Years Infection Project at Tapegerm.
Time: 3:12 Size: 2.2 Meg
"Skreech", I just kind of liked the sound of the title, a nice abstract piece. Loops by Buzzsaw & lots of Shavings, Coruscate2, Grunt, Jesus Crash My Soft Synth, Mentally Anguished, resonan and SoLaRiS from the 10 Years Infection Project. 10 Years Infection Project at Tapegerm.
Time: 16:17 Size: 11.18 Meg
"Halo Of Flies", Here's something for all you Heldon, etc fans, a song by Ambient Meat (originally released in 1996) remixified with some of Cystem's tasty, vitamin fortified three hundred and thirteen ways waves. I released this briefly in 2006 at TG but took it down, thought I'd give it another peek at yer ear sockets. Ambient Meat consisted of Marty Ashmore, Chuck Dimling and myself. They jammed on guitar and guitar synthesizer, I produced and added drums and synthesizer. Credits: Chuck Dimling: guitar, Marty Ashmore: Roland Guitar Synth, Dave Fuglewicz: Roland TR-707, ARP 2600, Cystem: guitar loops from Tapegerm. Just lahhhk ringin' a bell babeh!
Time: 5:13 Size: 3.58 Meg
"Reversed Forward Twist", A Reversed Forward Twist into the Klein's Bottle Watson. And fetch me my pipe. Indeed.
Loops by Carpet Glue Unlimited and davefugle @ Tapegerm.com from the 10 Years Infection Project at Tapegerm. Ear goggles required.
Time: 5:18 Size: 3.64 Meg
"Enigma Express", Get on board the Enigma Express, we don't know where we're going... but we'll get there eventually.

"Sweetwater Dream"; this mix was actually the first one I started working on for the 10 Year Project and is a contemplative, highly smokable composition. It reminds me of one of my early analog recordings; "Theta Meadow" on "A Gentle Sounding Of Chaotic Extensions" from 1995. Loops by Blind Mime Infection, Carpet Glue Unlimited, davefugle, Grunt, Heuristics Inc., Jesus Crash My Soft Synth, Loopy Spiderz, Mentally Anguished, resonan and SoLaRiS from the legendary 10 Years Infection Project at Tapegerm.
Time: 2:31 Size: 1.73 Meg
"A Progression Of Innocence" is based on loops from the Tapegerm 10 Year Infection Project, the beautiful piano loop is by Bryan Baker, the vocal loop is spoken word poem by Jeremy Gluck read by Jack Wrigley and a "background" loop by Grunt (aka Cystem/John Sosnowski). When I first heard Bryan's piano loop, I thought that this deserves to be showcased without any mutation. When I heard Jeremy's loop, it all clicked and so the mix was done and very quickly. It's a departure from my usual fare, but I know you'll like it.
Time: 5:43 Size: 3.93 Meg
"A Scattering" is upon us. Another one of my audio sculptures, dark and dense using Tapegerm.com's 10 Years Infection Project Loops by Blind Mime Infection, Buzzsaw & The Shavings, Carpet Glue Unlimited, Heuristics Inc., Mentally Anguished, resonan and Solaris.
Time: 2:31 Size: 1.72 Meg
"Another Mind Another World" is built around a spoken word poem by Jeremy Gluck. Slip into another mind, feel another world. Jeremy's poems are wonderful to work with and this was no exception.
I pieced this together using public domain video and added my own soundtrack.
