two felipes / eat your fill / 1986

 two felipes - eat your fill (c60? 1986 Flaming Cow Productions)
Astonishing wacky tape by this weird zolo high-school band from Milwakee, WI. They little remember freaky stuff like Zoogz Rift or Fuck Off related lo-finess...The retarded mongo style of some songs (Fried eggs, Mark Trail..) remind a wild version of Residents. At the end there's a large use of chep keyboards...(the infamous vl-1 tone)...
The dada non-sense lyrics, the large use of saxophone, the gross vocals, amatorial recordings ..this is a real art-punk tape gem.

Members: Dan Vebber (vocals), Steve Marchese (bari saxophone), Kris Desch (alto sax), Karl Desch (keyboards), Jay Tollefsen (percussion)

plx 15 / from ritual to romance / c15 / 1986

PLX 15 - From Ritual to Romance (c-15 1986/ Requiem Productions REQ 333)
little tape released by this wacky norvegian minimal-synth outfit, and distributed by Requiem Productions.
Plx 15 formed in 1983 as SRD and later becom De Pravity, in 1985 changed the name in PLX 15: formed by Jon Hveding (guitar, synthesizer, rhythm box..) and Remi Langmo (vocals, synthesizers). In 1985 they recorded a 3-track demotape from it, was taken 'Lufteturen' and released on 'Psychomania' belgian vinyl compilation. When Lars Nicolaysen join the band they released 'From ritual to romance' in 1986 with Petter Pogo as producer and additional guitar.
'Amen' is a nice retarded minimal-synth ballad, while 'Much too soon..'' an instrumental synth-pop danceable tune in the Plx 15 way obviously...On the b-side 'De sterke (The strong)' bring us into the cold norvegian fields with it's post-punk attitude.

seite A: 1. Amen, 2. Much Too Soon When You're Tied Up
seite B: 1. De Sterke
