Another fabulous compilation from the 80?s compiled by Ralf Wehowsky and Roger Schönauer of P16.D4. A very interesting compilation of leading experimental – industrial artists as:Laughing Hands: Born in 1958 in Melbourne, Paul Schütze studied Fine Arts at the Caufield Institute of Technology. In the late ’70s he was a percussionist with the Fourth Stream Percussion Ensemble before founding the seminal ’80s improv group Laughing Hands, adding percussive and synthetic textures to one of Australia’s most important and influential experimental forces P16.D4: P16D4 was a German band whose music bordered on the industrial and on the cacophonous. They managed to fuse the playful irrationality of dadaism and the oppressive tones of expressionism.

Nurse With Wound & Smegma: need no introduction. The Work: was an English post-punk rock group founded in 1980 by multi-instrumentalist and composer Tim Hodgkinson ( ex Henry Cow ) and guitarist/composer Bill Gilonis, with bass guitarist Mick Hobbs and drummer Rick Wilson. The band toured Europe in 1981 and 1982, and recorded their first album, Slow Crimes in 1982. After a tour of Japan later that year and releasing Live in Japan, the band split up. In 1989. DDAA: this obscure group of radical experimental noise makers used improvisation and collage to craft strange sounds and deconstructed songs for highly creative music that is as far off the path of convention. In the late ’70s, started by three visual artists, Sylvie Martineau, Jean – Philippe Fee, and Jean-Luc Andre in Lion sur Mer, France. The multi-talented trio originally formed Illusion Productions to create plastic sculpture and other various artistic pursuits and DDAA became the musical arm of Illusion. Déficits des Années Antérieures, their full name, translates roughly in English as “last year’s deficit,” though perhaps more appropriate is the fact that their initials are an anagram of Dada, that pre-Surrealism art movement at the time of World War I. As none of the three were trained musicians, their music had a distinct naïve quality of outsider art and with few noticeable influences, exists on a plane of its own. Like others whose music is too uncompromisingly different to become commercial, DDAA began releasing recordings under the umbrella of Illusion Productions. Masse Mensch was original released on lp by Selektion (SLP 001) in 1982 and rereleased in 1992 on cd by Odd Size (CD OS 08). (text from the blog “The Thing On The Doorstep”)
