We began the show with an incredible new release that has been receiving a lot of critical analysis and review. Many listeners relate the music of Scott Walker to films by Bergman and Tarkovsky rather than other music. Yes, there is something instensly cinematic and literary in his new work.

the death of whale song
Audiopollen 19/07/06
Catching up again. The drought has given way to a plethora of activities in the last few weeks and those coming up - B.I.F.F. and S.O.O.B. being two acronyms worth exploring google-wise!
Ok this show was slanted very much towards individualistic takes on more conventional forms.
The show started with two tracks from Etron Fou LeLoublan (Crazy Shit, The White Wolf) a french band associated with the Rock In Opposition movement figureheaded by Chris Cutler of Henry Cow, Art Bears infamy.
Exposition Universelle and Nicole La Musique both taken from 43 songs - a 3cd compilation of all their studio material.
We then followed up with some NZ avant/noise/skronk/whatever from the City People's Farmer Music. Sam Hamilton has something to do with this - he is both a very approachable / amicable chap and something of an all-rounder having his fingers in the more trad guitar based experimentalism as well as visual and performance...

Australian experimental music from 1987
Our re-issue of the NMATAPES compilation series as free mp3s continues with 1987's NMATAPE #5, available for free download (including cover and liner notes) from http://ShameFileMusic.com, or for trade on CDR.
Of particular interest here Syd Clayton's "Lucky Number", an excerpt from this 9 hour chance pianissimo composition. Clayton's work has been criminally ignored, and this was his only recording released in his lifetime. Look for more of Clayton's work released by Shame File Music on a compilation of early Australian experimental music due in 2007.
Other names of interest on this edition of NMATAPES include Chris Mann, Rainer Linz, Amanda Stewart and Ernie Althoff.
Also new on the catalogue is Screwtape's latest CD "A Hundred Flowers Bloom", which sees a new plunderphonic approach to his dark noise, looping the likes of jazz, bagpipes and more onto themselves.

Man Alive!
If my memory services me correctly, and I think it does, it was in 1995 when I appeared as a contestant upon television program The Iron Chef. Regrettably, my defeat was to such an extent that it would dishonour my ancestors even more to speak of it here. I vowed from that day that I would never cook again. I managed to obtain the network's master copy of this episode, and in a rage wiped the tape so my shame could never be witnessed again. Or so I thought...
It has come to my shameful attention that this hated master video tape was not completely wiped despite my efforts. Thankfully, no images remained, but some audio was still evident. The magnetic wiping process as distorted the audio to such extremes that it is surely beyond the recognition of anyone except for my shameful self, yet some knave has seen fit to release this distorted shameful memory to the public at large. To the unsuspecting listener, the cries of "Corn!" and "Foie Gras" amongst the layers of distorted... Read more
