'On their earlier, pre-drum-machine material, there are bits that sound like Joy Division at their most light-footed but with the elegant, classically-informed guitar chime of Durutti Column or Felt.'

Compilation of the Week: The Sheer Action Of Fini Tribe – 1982-1987 | The Quietus

Joe Muggs looks back beyond rigid gatekeeping to the mad flux of the 1980s and the Scottish band who were outsider art and proto-rave

".. produces experimental music from sound collages in his free time, but can not prevail with his works in the professional music business. "

If I said that you could buy dodgy copies of Kraftwerk, Pharoah Sanders, Bill Evans etc.. albums for roughly £15 on vinyl from retailers, seemingly imported from Russia (on a Russian label) by a company registered in London run by two Italians that has a parent company in Malta . . .

See, this is exactly why I follow Vintage Obscura Radio. I could have lived out the rest of my days and never heard this track. But I happened to see them share this, and I had nothing else to do, so I clicked on it, what the hell, why not. And it is INCREDIBLE.

secretly hoping that someone I know finds themselves at a loose in in Turkey and remembers to track down a copy of the first Lin Pesto album for me.

@b0lle.bsky.social I wonder if there's anyway we can hook Andreas up with the band SBP4 who are currently exiled in Berlin ( they upset Vlad ). They are almost always very Andreaas Dorau ( sometimes a bit Der Plan ) although probably unintentionally
