Shame File Music continues with the re-release of Australian 1980s cassette series NMATAPES, now available as free downloads or on CDR.

 

NMATAPES 3 (1984) featured tape work, electronic and theatre music and commercials.  Of particular interest on this collection are 3 Japanese Coke Ads and a “theme song” for the Australian Bi-centennial.  Also featured are Jon Rose, The Makers Of The Dead Travel Fast, Rik Rue and more.

 

Download this and NMATAPES 1 & 2 from http://ShameFile.tripod.com.  All three are also available on CDR for trade.

 

Other recent additions to the Shame File Catalogue:

 

Ross Bolleter “Crow Country” CD – features Bolleter’s well-known composition for ruined piano in a sheep shed (“ants poured out of the piano as I started playing”), and other pieces including an improvisation for two performers on opposite sides of Australia. $10ppd

 

Warren Burt “Harmonic Colour Fields” CD – Burt has been a leader in microtonal work for some time, and this CD demonstrates the spatial effects he can achieve as his drones will the room. $10ppd

 

Duct Tape Sadist “Demo” & “Satan Records” CD – DIY cover disguises rather interesting minimalist electronic noise. $8ppd each

 

Y35.3 “Ballarat Tour” CD – Power electronics duo currently clearing pubs in Melbourne.  $8ppd

 

DNA fanzine – recent additions of this long-running Adelaide underground music fanzine are now in. $2ppd

 

 

And on a non-music note, I scribbled some horror fiction that’s been included in an anthology called “Butcher Shop Quartet”.  You can read an extract of my story, a rather good review and order the book for AU$23ppd from http://clintongreen.tripod.com/stor/houseextr.html
