Various Artists - Music From The White House Vol. 4: France -1984- (Tape, Exart 032), France/Netherlands

Music From The White House was a series of compilations on the cult home-taping label Exart from The Netherlands that was created by Hessel Veldman aka Y Create (also in Gorgonzola Legs) and his wife Nick Nicole. The compilations were made around different countries: Holland, England, France and the United States.

On Music From The White House Vol. 4: France only home-taping acts are compiled from the French 80's underground. Amongst others present is the experimental noise of Brume, the Artaud and De Sade inspired sounds of vulgarity by Suckdog affiliate Costes and the improvisation of Klimperei and La Sonorité Jaune. Furthermore there are some French lo-fi synth-punk tracks by the Dirty Husbands, Cripure S.A. and Hermaphrodisiak which all remind me of Kas Product. Lastly there is a minimal synth track by DZ Lectric and Anton Shield and some miscellaneous home-taping tracks throughout the whole compilation.

Another nice compilation from the 80's containing some better and some worse tracks that display the uncompromising home-taping spirit of the time in the context of transnational music exchange. The Exart label on which this was published functioned as one of the key cassette labels of The Netherlands in terms of home-taping distribution. Soon I will upload the Music From The White House: USA cassette as well.

This cassette was kindly donated to the blog by Hessel Veldman/Y Create.

Message:
Crazy enough, I've got Archaic Inventions mapped out for at least a whole year: if not longer. The amount of never heard material and new content is vast, mind-blowing and extends into many different musical genres. Also I am working hard on establishing the upcoming record label simultaneously with various sound-art and podcast projects. Furthermore I'm developing a live-set of my own music that will see the light this summer.

The digitization process demands time and I have to balance all these different projects. I'll try to do the best I can to keep up the consistency of the blog, but there will be moments which will demand prioritizing my attention to one of these directions. Thanks to all supporting the blog (some of you since many years)! Lots of stuff still to come! - Bence AI

Important!!!

Turn on, tune in, drop out. Today.

The music I offer here is for promotion only. Please look for records or cassettes yourself and support the artist. Always.

None of the music posted here can be found elsewhere on the internet as far as I know. Moreover the music is out of print for a long time. I share the music because I want you to hear it and because it deserves to be saved.

However, if you're an artist and you are not pleased with your music being published here please comment or send a mail and I'll remove the post instantly!

Mediation meditation:

The views and/or approaches to the music that I present here are primarily of a subjective nature open to endless different perspectives. They are a mix of interpretations: at times aiming at exploring the socio-cultural context surrounding the music, at times an endeavour to present some of the musical facts or to highlight the creative greatness. However this blog does not in any way claim all of this material in the light of self-proclaimed truth, nor tries to find a true form of its representation and not in the least tries to put its material in service of personal gain. This blog hopes to save obscure material, share this content with others and mostly hopes to inspire creative and urgent musical and artistic tendencies and their practices in the present. It also hopes to invoke the unveiling of additional context, knowledge or narrative by anyone that is able to provide new information about the presented material.

All rips are done by myself.

!Attention! I decided to move the d/l links to Mediafire since that seems to work better. Lots of links in the archive are dead or still on Zippyshare. Will try to update one day. Til then just request the re-up of something in the comments.

Music donations welcome: if you have something great and/or weird which has never seen the light of day and that you would like to see posted on the blog, feel free to contact me
