Ralf Wehousky(sp?), who used to be part of P16.D4, I believe. There is an
excellent label called Selection that put out some of the best SBOTHI
(Swimming Behaviour Of The Human Infant) and P16.D4 that I bought from the
gracious Ralph Hausman, whom I mentioned in my Reynolds-style joke about
Lance the other day.

It is uncanny that this should come up on this list, as I was actually
going to recommend anyone interested in early industrial avant stuff check
out the Elephant Table Album compilation (Coil works quite a nice
atmosphere with just bass guitar and 808 on "S is for Sleep") and download
the mp3's at
http://www.obsolete.com/qualk. To anyone interested in these
experimentalists, I recommend the lps "Government Is My Soul" and
"Preparing for Power". I imagine that if you weren't into this stuff to
one degree already, you might have a hard time getting into it as it is so
lo-fi, cassette-culture fidelity. The tools and technology was different
10-15 years ago, so, well... some of it is quite amazing though.
Bourbonese Qualk had a really excellent drummer at one point, such that
they arrived at a combination of atmospheric funk/noise that was up there
with Cab Voltaire and pre-85 400Blows...
BTW, I taped a 93? Bourbonese Qualk show just after they started getting
techno-ey...kind of predates some of the minimalism of chain-reaction-type
stuff in terms of just purely percussion... I'll have to re-listen...

Korm also put out the earliest BeeQueen 12"s and some Pink Dots-related
stuff. I've been revisiting the LPDots' mid 80's stuff recently. Quite a
lot of orchestration completely untouched in most of the electronic music
going on now "So Gallantly screaming" "15 Flies in the Marmalade" and "The
Gallery" are quite detailed and humorous and composed...

They really had their own kind of atmosphere, IMO. I think that the
funk/noise/tapes thing of the early 80's was a similar mentality to the
ensemble music of Thrill Jockey in recent years. It is kind of an
interest in musicality and texture, but trying to steer clear of prog/rock
and instead pass thru weird pop, funk, jazz, krautrock...
Last month I was asking if anyone had any Executive Slacks (earliest),
Smersh, and that sort of thing... these bands were contemporary to Bour
Qualk and
