    Vol.81a

    Ken Clinger: one of the legends of home taping in one of his many appearances on the show. Probably my most played artist of all time.

    Roberta Eklund: she did piano improv, poetry and other interesting music.

    Man’s Hate: this is still the project of Andy Xport from England. Andy produced excellent compilation in addition to his own brand of rock music peppered with social comment.

    Geoff X. Alexander: a close personal friend and also the founder of The Roots Of Madness, a cult avant garde group that released an LP in 1971. Geoff also did his own music then, a combination of avant garde farfisa organ and “anthro”, a weird mix of ethnic and improvisation. Geoff also hosts the web site about academic film, 16 mm film of all types of historical significance.

    Plato’s Nightclub: I can’t remember this band right now or where I got it from.

    Randy Greif: one of the most interesting and creative of underground music makers, Randy used sampling and improvisation to create moods of fantasy and illusion. He continues still.

    Vol. 81b
    L’Edarps A Moth: Thomas Pradel from Frankfurt was the person behind this eclectic, electro project. He did vocals that were sort of pop with some zappa influence, a solo vocal tape, and I even did a few collaborations with him on my own releases. A real nice guy who dropped out of sight. Some info here.

    Atomic Breathing Seminar: No recollection now.

    Nudge Squidfish: Memory does not serve me at this time.

    Timothy Gilbert: from Wichita but moved to England in the early 90s. Sporadically continued his own brand of bitter bedroom rock with tremendous guitar playing and growling vocals. A fine artist who evidently found some success in Britain acting. Had many, many tapes.

    Mark Saucier: From New Orleans if I remember correctly. He did some wonderful and intimate folk rock I guess you might call it. Real nice but gone now too.

    PJ Otto: Another blank spot for my mind, like the tide going out.
