\nYou sure are right, if you like your taste mainstream and middle-of-the-road. Because I’ve never cared much to live up to expectations. Call me the Taste Hero, or, if you like it really heroic, The Man Who Wouldn’t Give A Fuck.<\/p>\n
\nYou read me spitting out big sounds now, because today I came across traces of my work from the 80s in the internet. As a matter of fact, I for instance discovered a site where some of my Calypso Now releases are listed, some quite popular, like the split tape by The Ex\/Svaetsox, Pay no more than 6 Fr <\/a>(the tongue in cheek title referring to hip indie releases ‘for the working man’ in England in the Thatcherist 80’s). But I’ve also come across a real obscurity, like Big City Orchestra’s Hand Of Fear<\/a> – they were always my favorites, by the way, and if you read their portrait<\/a>, you’ll know why.<\/p>\n \nI’ve also found several sites who still keep the fire going, like Mutant Sounds<\/a>, which I found researching Years On Earth; like Crud Crud<\/a> on a more general level, where you keep falling over rare and strange sounds, a lot of tape-only productions, but also other stuff like belly dance rip-off singles; like Sweet Thunder<\/a> which is full of surprises, check it out for yourself.<\/p>\n \n Ajust playback volume to 10 and press the play button!<\/p>\n \nTo download right-click Years On Earth: And I Dream<\/a> or Years On Earth: Lost Letters<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Releasing and playing music since several decades, I never cared much about keeping track of the stuff I’ve done.

\nI was looking for the whereabouts of Years On Earth because I used to release two of their fantastic dark droning tapes, ‘Site’ and ‘Worlds Apart’, and I’ve always listened to them ‘in private’ as well. I will tell you more about them as soon as I can find the master tape for YOE3 in my piles of incredibly great, rare and half-forgotten stuff. But for today, I will give you just a listening of two tracks from their tape ‘Site’ from 1982 (YOE2). Bedroom electronics really well done.<\/p>\n
