Three early cassettes from Theatre Of Ice. Although what came after has a more 'typical' gothic rock sound, these three tapes are much more on the experimental side. Heavy Chrome-damage abounds, always a good thing.
"Theatre of Ice were an early Deathrock (Gothic rock) band that formed in the Nevada desert in December 1978. Initially formed to record a soundtrack for a horror movie, the members instead evolved into what some claim was the first Deathrock band. Owing more initially to experimental groups such as Throbbing Gristle, Suicide and Chrome, the band also cited bands as diverse as Iron Butterfly, Blue Öyster Cult, The Moody Blues and Roxy Music as major influences. Theatre of Ice brought a modern approach to gothic-horror themes by tackling the idea of an underground spook show in the contemporary world."

One LP and two singles of prepared guitar and tape collage from Angst Hase Pfeffer Nase (one Chris Cooper, formerly of Caroliner, Deerhoof). What I imagine a microphone attached to beetle might sound like, as he goes about his day...

3Rio Tapes
Very interesting and eclectic thematic compilation from Hybryds' 3Rio Tapes label. Beautifully mixed by Magthea, this almost plays more like a sound collage than a compilation. From noise and various flavors of experimental to gay love songs (literally), not to mention the obligatory porn samples aplenty. This was released in 2 editions, a c90 with art booklet (unfortunately missing from my copy) and later as a c60 minus a few tracks.
a1 Janice Peshke + Absolute Controlled Clinical Maniacs - Nymph

Allerseelen - Schwartzer Rab
C60 (Sakristei, Austria)
"The raven plays an essential part in Indian, Siberian, and Eskimo cultures. In their tales, there are various connections between raven and sun. The raven is playing with the light. It is stealing it to bring it to man, but is also taking it away again....
Recordings of ravens appear on several releases by Allerseelen. As the raven has almost died out in Middle Europe. The musical works by Allerseelen may be considered as requiem for this bird as well as evocation of it's survival.
'In this moment the raven itself took away the sun, as there were too many men who killed too many animals. Without light men should die.' (Eskimo tale)"

A couple of early Allerseelen tapes. While later releases have more of a martial-industrial-neofolk sound, the early cassettes are usually much more sparse and ritualistic in character.

"The artificial hand, attached to the right arm as a third hand, motor mechanism picked up by a contact mic...Body processes amplified include brainwaves, muscles, heartbeat, pulse, blood flow... Actions such as flicking of the fingers, bending the arm, twitching the facial muscles, turning the torso, and lifting the leg bring forth a cascade of sound...buzzing, warbling, clicking, thumping, beeping, and whooshing sounds... The Argon laser eyes are modulated by the heartbeat, pulsing on and off..."

"Having spent two thousand years prodding and poking the human psyche without any real discernible changes in our historical and human outlook, we perhaps need to take a more fundamental physiological and structural approach, and consider the fact that it's only through radically redesigning the body that we will end up having significantly different thoughts and philosophies."

Rubber (O) Cement - Clusto Pumps + The Flawge & Toggle
2 Rubber (O) Cement cassettes. No description I could give could surpass this:
"Rubber O Cement was put together as a direct idea for a super science future that will happen after some basic electricity classes. The next technological breakthroughs are realized in a zero-tech way with the emulation of the unrealized 'next step' with the actual "vision" existing in the present. The first experiment was to build a Computer that plays music and looks like it's doing something. The original CIMEVOX 30084 could shake and twirl it's reel to reels while playing some of the most tortured synthesizer sounds [sounding like it's doing something]... Next up: the human head! It can store only so much information within it’s small dome. A cube shape is not only ‘functional’ it looks good and can stack easily at night next to other cubes depending on the amount of money invested for memory." - Rubber (O) Cement
'The CLUSTO PUMP: A simple used shoe with a cassette of Rubber O Cement's music that mixed with the instructions allows the listener super human 'feets'.'
'The FLAWGE-TOGGLER: This joystick and patch kit of bat wings and wires allowed the buyer to assemble his and her angle monitor planes that worked on algea and garbage. It came with a calm tone cd or cassette. The big goal, that every fan is behind at this point, is to have a show on the moon within the next 15 years using rocket jets as instruments with the Cimevox made into a sending/receiving satellite. Please wish them luck...'

Due Process - RRRadio 34 / RRRadio WMBR
RRRadio was a monthly 'spontaneous record/tape collage with improvisational music accompaniments' on WZBC in the late 80's using tape contributions from various artists (such as Asmus Tietchnes, Frans DeWaard, Esplendor Geometrico, Human Flesh, Illusion Of Safety, P16.D4, PBK, Runzelstirn & Gurglestock, John Wiggins...), as well as RRR mail order customers.
"RRR extents an open invitation to all interested individuals to participate in RRRadio by sending backing tapes, tape loops, environmental recordings, unfinished works, extraneous noises, etc * basically. Anything that can be used for collage purposes. RRR promises to send a dub of the show using your contribution."
Here are 2 complete shows. Outside of Ron Lessard & Wha, as well as a certain sporadic music blogger, contributors to these particular shows are unknown, Occasioanlly chaotic, often amusing, but never just a bunch of random noise. I particularly like RRRadio 34, but some nice moments throughout each.

P16.D4 & Swimming Behavior Of The Human Infant - Nichts Niemand Nirgends Nie!
Selektion (SLP 011), 1986
Transformations of sound. Sides A & B each artist individually, Side C live improvisations by both, and Side D new compositions using material from all of the above.
"Nichts Niemand Nirgends Nie...was a result of many processes of transformation. Side 1 of the LP was recorded by P16.D4, side 2 by SBOTHI (Achim Wollscheid) and both partners used each other's materials, intermediate materials and finished pieces as material for their own pieces. Side 3 had some pieces of musique concrète improvisée by both partners, while side 4 consisted of three tracks. The first, by P16.D4, used sides 1 to 3 as source material, the 2nd, by S.B.O.T.H.I, used track one of side 4 and the third, by P16.D4, used the second and third tracks of the 4th side."

Z'ev - Metaphonics for BH
Personalized version of Metaphonics available for a time via the Rhythmajik website. Each version of this was unique. This one quieter and lower in frequency than the others I've heard. Close your eyes and drift...
"Metaphonics is the word that I coined for that family of sounds which are intended to function on a shall we say sacred level and which possess the ability to alter the consciousness and/or induce a Trance state in a group or individual.
It is recommended that these CD's be listened to in total darkness. Usually the easiest way to accomplish this is by using some sort of scarf etc. to cover your eyes. If you can get a room completely light proofed that is the best, because then you can listen with your eyes open.
Over the years I have been presenting my live music in just such environments and here's a bit about that [from program notes]:
These sessions occur in the complete dark with the participants lying on mats. Their purpose is to produce a synaesthetic experience in the listener. In this case people are seeing what they are hearing. People report a variety of psychic / emotional experiences focused through a range of visualizations; from abstract firework-like flashings to geometric imagery to cartoony type things to visions which are as representational as if they were a dream or guided meditation."

mystery tape
I bought this a years ago as 'Small Cruel Party - But Life A Child Kept Still', but it's obviously not and I have no clue who this actually is. Very interesting guitar, bass, voice, trumpet... improv. If anyone out there knows what it may be, I'd love to know. A couple of samples here, as well as the rest...
