Vinyl On Demand label S/D and worship thread

hey sleeve, did you ever get that ADN Krystall box??

yup! thanks a bunch, I love their/his synth sound.

second re: German liner notes...i can of course dig that everything about the set is German, but all previous VoD releases' liners have been at least partially in english, so was also surprised. guess i'll have to find a sultry German-speaking woman to stop by and translate for me.

love the contents, though - had only heard a few of those groops previously (which is why i love classic VoD...don't need a Laibach box). the Poison Dwarfs are particular favorites at the moment, and White Russian had a perfect new wave sound with earworm hooks to boot. lurve it.

Did anyone else fail to get a PTV poster? Frank seems to think he sent it to me but I didn´t find it anywhere. No big deal though, I´m keeping that sucker.

Forced Exposure now has the German Wave box and the PTV set, so I guess they´re carrying them again.

hey sleeve, i didn't receive a poster with my set either (guess i didn't notice one was to be included until now)...

have seen quite a few u.s. retailers list the two new releases - Fusetron, Experimedia, Tedium House come to mind, but have seen 'em a few other places. a good sign!

OMG look at all of this minimal synth. I had no idea how much interesting synth / wave there was!! How am I going to finance this?

VOD85: TARA CROSS „Tara Cross 1982-89“ 4LP-Box 64,99 €

Box incl. Spurt Ditties (1982); Waiting for the War (1983); Concocting Chaos (83); Collaboration-Tracks with Unovidual; Searchlight & Torch (84, with Stefan Tischler of Port Said); Limelight (85); Compilation-Tracks 83-89, Tempus Fugit (88)

Excellent wide-ranging minimal/synth & Wave-tunes by one of the most outstanding female artists in the 80’s cassette-culture and wave/underground releasing a total of 4 Tapes, one Lp and contributing to numerous Cassette- and Vinyl-compilation.

Tara Cross was always exposed to music as a child.Her family, being second generation in the United States from Ireland, kept their roots by filling the household with lots of Irish and American music. Her father was a great singer and an admirer of Bing Crosby and Perry Como. Tara's interest in music awakes at age 13, when she begins to play the guitar. She studies at Hunter College of New York, where she majors in Music and Psychology, yet she decides not to pursue her musical studies in an academic institution, since her primary interest is centered in the performing arts.. Despite the opposition of her family, she devotes her time to her musical career while keeping a full time job in the corporate world. Her jobs ranged from secretary, typist, microfilm supervisor, librarian, magazine publishing company, etc. Tara is the first of six children and needed to help with family finances. In the late 70's and early 80's she moves from Brooklyn into the "village" in Manhattan, the center of the art scene in NY, forms punk rock bands and later goes onto experimenting with an Electro-Harmonix mini synthesizer and a primitive drum box. She develops her efforts into a very unconventional, experimental kind of music. In the early to mid 80's, she herself produces, composes and performs her own works, acts as her own public relations, takes care of the administrative and secretarial work, etc, She works mainly at first with cassettes, later going onto reel to reel 4 track, then 8 track, recording everything at home and releasing it worldwide. In 1997. she opens a hair salon, getting out of the corporate environment, called Le Chandelier Salon. As a musician, she considers herself as some sort of sound structurer who experiments with sound the same way as a painter would experiment with colors.

kinda wish there was actually some obscure Belgian proto/post-industrial group named BIG NAME TO BE CONFIRMED, but alas...nothing on discogs i can find...

OMG SEMA OMG

I can die happy now

gonna get an Industrial sub next year for sure

Does the VOD108 translate literally that they have released 108 box sets? I have a lot of catching up to do. I can't believe I slept on these! How possible is it to get the early ones at a decent price? Hunting Lodge, Controlled Bleeding, and SPK? That John Bender book looks beautiful!

what ya mean you don't just listen to private press country? ;)

there are indeed 108 box sets: http://www.discogs.com/label/Vinyl-on-demand

SPK box is reasonably priced as long as you don't want the bonus box of 3 singles, that's $$$.

Hunting Lodge is probably available cheap, sadly neglected. I dig it.

Controlled Bleeding is oop I think? FE and Fusetron are the main US distros for this stuff.

HA!! I love this sort of music, used to dj industrial/italo. I was really into noise/industrial in high school/early 90's's. Would be cool to see some of the Houston,TX scene get treated to a box set. I just haven't been keeping up with it. But this thread has me really excited!

omg SEMA box indeed!!

OHHHH these are the guy who put out that Absolute Body Control early tapes!!! That has been on my want list for awhile.

have you heard Psyche - Insomnia Theatre?

no, I missed that one... other folks on this thread have it though.

Absolute Body Control is a hard one to find, that went fast.

Sema box set sounds amazing.. wonder why Rob Haigh is ok with a vinyl box when he's turned down all offers for CD reissues (based on lack of master tapes..)

yeah i wondered that too.

new ones are being mailed out now, I see.

my john bender "book" just arrived. i can't express how much i had been looking forward to this and it doesn't disappoint. i was worried the hard to find / unreleased stuff wouldn't live up to how i hoped it would be but it completely exceeds all expectations. a joy!

as if I could get any more excited, good news!

man surface mail is slow... anybody on the West Coast gotten these yet?

also,

I would hazard a guess that the box is going to consist of unreleased/archive stuff, like that Sema CD that came as a bonus with Silent Storm. Which would kind of bum me out, but I will still buy it.

still waiting...

YESSS

I will report back later, although my shipping box was torn open on two corners everything seems to have come through unscathed.

OK I'm not sure how I feel about this new "folder" design. I liked the big monolithic boxes, so imposing on the shelf.

4 sides into John Bender and it sounds worlds better than the sketchy rips from Mutantsounds. Plus, Pop Surgery has extended versions of more than half the songs! Bender wrote a fascinating essay about his history and influences, might post some of it on the JB thread (I was surprised to read abt just how much he is a devotee of the Canterbury scene and Robert Wyatt in particular).

still totally immersed in the bender box. dying to know what's on the schnitzler set.

still excited about the Sema box. From the '82-'84 period, so it looks like it will contain the Le Rey material.. which will be great - especially if there's unreleased stuff too!

^ ditto! it's the first VoD product i'm excited about, tbh.

yeah my ears perked up when I saw "The Complete Recordings", I fervently hope to finally own a decent version of "Three Seasons Only".

Thinking about it, there must be at least some unreleased stuff on the VoD box - seeing as most of Le Rey releases were more like 12"/mini-lps...

VOD100-103 (see list above) are available for pre-order now, plus CD reissues of a few earlier VOD titles now out of print on vinyl, notably the excellent Broken Flag box set.

damn I gotta pass on a sub this year again, and just cherrypick the Sema box.

anyone got the Sema box yet?

Rising From The Red Sand!!!! And an early Lustmord box, hell yeah. And Frohmader. Tons of stuff I've never heard of, more than usual.

http://www.vinyl-on-demand.com/index.php?ln=2&navid=6&shopid=32&vorschau=&sid=

got my Laughing Hands and Un-Kommuniti boxes in the mail yesterday, have yet to dive in. It seems like he's back on schedule with these releases.

I never knew Tim Gane had a cassette culture background!

One VoD release I wish got more attention is the Campingsex album. I guess it's an outlier for the label in the sense that, however noisy it may be, it's still "just" a guitar-based post-punk record. It's great, though. Very heavy. At certain points it even reminds me of Kreator and German thrash in general, the crushing momentum of tracks like "Guten Morgen". Thurston Moore is supposedly a big fan.

that looks good, surprisingly affordable through US channels.

2014: 10 LPs of 1983-87 Muslimgauze with 220 page book, Robert Haigh 2LP (guessing that this is the LAYLAH records)

2015: 10-LP sets from Pierre Henri and Francois Bayle

start saving now, kids!

Just ordered the Rising From The Red Sand box.

mmm now I have four new box sets of primo industrial noise sitting in my room.

which one should I listen to first? totally unfamiliar w/Frohmader's work. I'll probably rip the Rising From The Red Sands box before sitting through 4 LPs of unreleased Hafler Trio.

The Lustmord set has their 1st album, but does not appear to include the Lustmordekay cassette at first glance, which seems weird. I don't think that stuff was on the Dark Vinyl reissue CD either.

i see they're releasing a dada computer lp - i had some post-prod involvement in an earlier reissue of that, it's very good

excited about this:

- PASCAL COMELADE Degeneration Electronics 1975-83

gosh this Muslimgauze box sounds great, I have originals of some of these and they did a good job remastering (as usual).

kind of a controversial move not to include the original artwork imo, I have to assume that was a move to preserve some of the "value" of the original vinyl releases.

Robert Rich's box of early stuff sounds great, primordial drone

haven't broken into the Comelade or Alien Brains yet, but as nerve pylon notes the Comelade box is super exciting.

my personal metric for success in the professional world is someday being able to afford shit from this label

Smegma have to be the most overrated of all these bands, I sure don't need 5 LPs worth.

I was wrong about this, and that box is great

the Comelade box is fantastic. so great to have all of this. i have the Fluence lp (Tapioca reissue)—the remastering is stellar.

now, who can translate the french articles in the booklet?
