Imagine a mid-70s Halloween party on the filming location of John Carpenter’s The Thing with a three-piece krautrock obsessed electronic rock combo creating long plodding yeti funk and haywire electro soundscapes via suitcase-synths and mutant mouth organs!  The cryogenically frozen music on this limited cassette is based on a true story.

Operating as true “outsiders” of electronic American music both artistically and geographically, this interchangeable Alaskan collective headed by electronic harmonica player Gary Sloan would inadvertently prognosticate electro and techno while attempting to reinvigorate the self-contained Anchorage blues rock scene via an addiction to state of the art synthesisers and custom contraptions. Recorded four years before their untravelled milestone LP Harmonitalk, the Hallowe’en sessions are taken from a bottomless archive of direct-to-cassette recorded jam sessions, experiments and custom-built radio themes either entirely unheard or singularly distributed exclusively via the airwaves on Sloan’s very own Import Hour show for Anchorage radio station KGOT.  Taken from a cassette marked Hallowe’en Music recorded on October 31st 1976 and previously unheard outside the confides of the trio’s own rehearsal room, this session provides a further glimpse into a wider dossier of future Cache Cache Clone releases and acts as a perfect companion piece to the equally underexposed Octabred LP (backed with unreleased Suzanne Ciani music) now available via our Disposable Music library subscription series.

Clone - Hallowe'en 1976 (Excerpt)

Los Angeles techno veteran Silent Servant crafted a grim edit of "Tell Me", transforming the original song's synth-heavy bliss into a steely acid workout and hollowing out Hall's vocals until they hang like ambient gauze.

"YOU WANNA GET THERE SOON 
I WANNA GET THERE LAST"

WAS HOPING THE MAN COULD HAVE A LISTEN TO THIS BUT WITHIN HIS LIFETIME SOMEHOW DIDN'T MANAGE TO SEND IT OVER TO HIM. SO NOW I'M SENDING IT OUT INTO THE DIGITAL VOID AND HOPING I'VE DONE NO WRONG TO HIS LEGACY. IT'S FAR FROM A EULOGY, RATHER IT'S SOMETHING THAT I'VE BEEN ENJOYING PEOPLE ENJOYING ON THE DANCE FLOOR FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW.

Pearl City exists in an other worldly place where melancholic pop music reigns supreme and the future’s not so desolate. Formed by duo Nick & Greta in Manchester, their debut track 'Flames' is the opening portal for a parallel world they've created, and a temporary respite from the industrial and politically oppressed world that surrounds them; "Pearl City to us is otherworldly - a fantasy place. The music takes us to an alternative realm where we can escape from reality, making our own soundscapes for them to occur there" state Nick & Greta. 
￼ 

Pieced together from a range of live instrumentation, studio trickery, field recordings, obscure instruments (including the Guzheng and Steel Pan), alongside a more typical combo of synthesisers, effects units and drum machines, their take on avant-pop dips between glacial vocal arrangements, electronic pulses and phantom echoes. It recasts a love for Bjørk, Arca and dystopian anime flicks into a mould that's entirely it's own - future pop music for a new virtual world.

I made this music way back in 1995 when i was finishing high school .
My good friend Dean Henning . AKA = Captain Asthma  helped me with programming some of the beats as Dean was our main drummer in Both our high school bands "Incurable" and "Fingerhead" .
I had at this stage in my life a KORG X3 Workstation Keyboard ( Thanks to my dear parents and Babs Naidoo Music in Pietermaritzburg )

At this stage in my life i was obsessed with early 80s electro music ............. bands such as Grauzone , No more , D.A.F , Joachim whitt , O.M.D , Front 242 , Kraftwerk .................... this type thing .
Of course at this point in time in South Africa ( One year into our new Democracy ) Most people where not listening to this type music .
Dean and I attempted to Record a Second Unit album in Pietermaritzburg , in a studio with our friend Gavin .
The music was recorded straight from my Korg onto DAT tape and the vocals and bass guitar where recorded separately.
Unfortunately our DAT tape was corrupt and the recording was a disaster .
Somehow Dean came into possession of a recording made onto cassette tape ................... and this is the only recording of Second Unit in existence .
This music was very personal to me when i made it 
Hope you enjoy

A Second Unit

Easy by  Second Unit  1995

From the forest floor:

"Having unearthed The Fugs CIA man some years before, we were shocked to discover a newer more sinister agency had taken over from the diatribe's protagonist so we updated Tuli Kupferberg's list of ills...

"Of course every time the song is now mentioned online, a blip of data triggers a filter that enters a file that rings a bell in a bunker deep under a mountain in Pennsylvania. So now the forest is full of agents looking for us, and we are taping up our microphones and cameras and walking backwards through our own footprints to shake them off..."

We are really happy to welcome Brooklyns 'Pure Adult' into the FatCat bunker for another episode of the FatCat Records radio show for 1BTN. 
Jeremy and Bianca make a wild, absorbing, wilful noise and have an eclectic taste in music.. here's what Jeremy says about his mix;

I tend to fixate on how things are sequenced and the effect on perception a sequence of events, objects or (in this case) songs has. Hopefully this sequence of songs will introduce you to material you haven't heard and the sequence of songs will resonate with you. Track listing:

Shellac - The End of Radio
Death Grips - Guillotine
Congo Natty - Junglist (ft. Peter Bouncer)
Changa Namwele - Machine Gunners
