Various Artists - "MAGNITIZDAT - The Least Worst Of Deleted Records" (Deleted Records DEC 002) 1980

Classic Lo-Fi to no-fi bedroom fumblings from the great unwashed of the Deleted Records world. There's ,obviously, various Automatons' side projects scattered liberally throughout, amongst what I can only describe as even more Instant Automatons side projects. In fact I suspect that all the groups on this compilation are in fact various combinations of Protag and Mark Automaton. But that is no bad thing, 'cus no-one masters muffled cassette weirdness better than our favourite anti-hero's.
In case you dunno what this will sound like, think Maplin self build synthesizers, junk shop guitars, secondhand organ beat boxes, and cheap radio shack effects units; all sounding like a detuned short wave radio in a box of cotton wool. Great stuff, that retains a much missed allure of mystery.
