The Blue Humans – "Clear To Higher Time" ( New Alliance Records – NARC 077) 1992


The Blue Humans are, basically ,that bloke from No-Wave Legends Mars;namely experimental guitarist Rudolph Grey, and a flux of artsy chums,such as ,the afore mentioned Alan Licht. Whom first came to notice in the late-1970s New York City post punk and trendier than thou downtown Noo Yawk art scene which also spawned such nerds as Sonic Youth, Glenn Branca and such like.
I thought all members of Mars had to be 'resting' actors,seems i'm wrong. The others went on to be completely unknown,but Rudolph made a meagre living attacking an out of tune guitar within yet without the medium of Free Improvisation, come on we've all done it? Especially mucking around on stage with various ad-hoc combo's such as The Blue Humans.
Rudolph wasn't just a pretty face y'know? 'Twas he wot wrote that much needed biography of acclaimed trash movie maker Edward D. Wood jr, the mind behind the worlds first anti-nuclear movie "Plan 9 From Outer Space"....a film some people have inexplicably labelled 'thee Worst Movie Ever Made' !????....which is of course far from the truth and very close to being utter bollocks.
Like Grey's music, Woods movies seemed to have been made up as they went along,and were, arguably.....very arguably as it turns out, the closest anyone has come to making a genuinely 'Free' Movie. An art concept drafted in from the Oort Cloud,beyond which dwells the mysterious Planet Nine.

Tracklist:

A1 Lightning 4:30
A2 Movement 3:36
A3 Finally 4:16
A4 Under Power 3:15
B1 Clear To Higher Time 19:51

The Max Factory – "Tudor City" -(Ecstatic Yod – actuel 5) 1995




The Max Factory is Alan Licht with or without friends.....that's what it says on the inner gatefold cover of another of that "Ass Run" series on that Father Yod label what we all dig so much.
So if you've ever been Licht by anyone called Alan,you'll know what to expect.If you haven't been Licht by someone called Alan,firstly 'Why Not?!',and secondly expect lots of spontaneous guitar noise akin to the sound of nails being scraped down an amplified chalk board.
If you have sensitive teeth, i advise caution when approaching this fine beast.

Tracklist:

Side A:
A1 I Lack The Power (7:41)
A2 A Perfect Herbert (5:14)
A3 Coma (4:03)
A4 Derf Scratch (3:50)

Side 1:
B Tudor City (23:04)
