Many, many thanks for all these AT tapes. In some cases, the sounds he's coming up with get so abstract that it's almost easier to approach the material with my TG/NWW ears on, rather than any German electronica of the same period. In fact, I think Tietchens put a record out on United Dairies?

I've also just started listening to Conrad Schnitzler... 'just started' as in three albums down, 97 or so to go!

At Alan Burns: These tapes show a progression out of the German electronica of the period, towards something a bit more post-Stockhausen. His "Musik An Der Grenze" was a lot more in line with what was going on at the time in so-called "krautrock" albeit maddeningly repetitive.

His tapes from this period were very influential on early cassette culture noise composers like PBK, Arcane Device and others, which in turn is very influential on what's going on now in netlabel noise-ambient culture.

Well,there you go Alan,thats you told.Good luck with the Schnitzler adventure.Not quite as prolific as Zan Hoffman's 1170 albums and counting, but up there in the top ten list of most releases by a single artist.

This blog is so beautiful. Thank you. Your honesty with what is historic but bullshit and what is legit is quite wonderful. Many thanks. Cheers!

Hmmm. This is not a rip from the tape, but rather from the Vinyl-On-Demand LP...

Hmmm you might be right.
