There's no Moogs,Korgs, or Roland's on here, this is low budget and make do on the cheapest available equipment, and all the better for it. All popular brand names are a fast track to conformity....although i suspect i could hear a Boss Dr. Rythm DR55 in there somewhere....I had one of those once...bloody rubbish it was, highly recommended. Recorded on a Fostex x-15 multitrack cassette recorder, with its infamous Dolby -B sound muffler device, that was passed off as noise reduction, ending up being music reduction,sounded better with the tape hiss!
Although very little is known about the bedroom legends that produced this solid state marvel, but I am informed that Ampnoise comprised of two chaps called Robert Lawrence and Mark Phillips (the man behind the Quick Stab cassette label, and The Dada Computer album, who still make music today as Five Ximes of dust?
Ampnoise also appeared on the ICR compilation " Integration" in 1983, providing the track "Floppy Disc Drive".

"Beyond The Spectacle" - I imagine they were doing the same as I was in 1983 - buying the wonderful Spectacular Times booklets from the late Larry Law.. or perhaps they were reading Guy Debord and Raoul Vaneigem texts in their original French - either way, kudos for the situationist reference decades before the current state of affairs where every annoying media student with intellectual pretensions will drop the word 'détournement' into a sentence.
Got my phone locked and loaded with the Robert Lawrence and Mark Phillips rips you have posted ready for tomorrow's bus journey on West Yorkshire's finest public transport... living the dream!
I think that if you say you are a situationist, you are, therefore, by definition, NOT a situationist?
The same applies to Punk ,but NOT to Punk Rock.
If this makes sense to you,then you ARE a situationist.....unless you say you are of course!
bzzzzz
