MNQ 057 The Actor - Exploded View LP / Cassette

We are really proud to announce the reissue of one of the most important Dutch Wave bands THE ACTOR, with their seminal 1982 tape "EXPLODED VIEW". "In the beginning of the eighties, a new phenomenon emerged: home taping. This way of recording resulted in a lot of noise. But that was less important then getting one’s music out to the public. A well known label for cassette bands in those days was the dutch Trumpett Tapes. They were the first to publish the music of The Actor, who became their top selling cassette band in 1982 and 1983. The Actor’s first release was Exploded View in 1982. The songs – sung both in English and German – often related to fashion, modernism, dancing and appearence. This made The Actor “quite fashionable."

LP Edition of 500 copies.
Tape Edition of 120 copies.

Limited silskcreen art edition for the first 50 copies, 160 gram white vinyl.

Remastered from the original tapes by Rude 66, The Netherlands, 2014.

Limited reissue of this obscure industrial-no wave record released in 2006. Due to reaction of people about "Rug", which fastly became an anthem for curious minds and unconventional dj's, both Robert Schalinski and Saulk from Mélodies Souterraines thought the rest of album should get more interest. 12 years later, we're happy to announce this reprint, which keeps original artwork and label design. Simon, The Exchange worked on remastering each tracks from original tapes. LIMITED TO 150.

The CHEN YI Commune (1978-1984)
The Chen Yi Commune was founded in 1978 by about 20 women & men from London & the surrounding area. The building of the commune, an old school in Chelmsford, was located on vast premises & was encircled by a wall. The aim of the commune was to create a closed subsystem, a kind of subsociety and to narrow down its contact to the outside world only on very few specific actions. Life in the commune was lead hermetically closed. All circuits, the food, culture and communication circuits had to be self-contained.
The influence of the outside world on the inner life of the commune & vice versa, was controlled. Actions aimed at the outside world were directed towards specific persons.
Due to the hermetically closed life within the commune during the first years, there were almost never problems with the local population. Not until 1982, after some members had intensified their public communication, it came to a brief, open conflict at the end of which stood the breakup of the commune and the destruction of the house in 1984.

About these recordings:
Most documents on this release were recorded in the Chen Yi commune with a Studer A80 MkIV2“ 16 track with Dolby SR.
These early tapes were never completed or mastered by Chen Yi. Partly they include unfinished session recordings or notes. That’s why a heavy post processing was necessary, sometimes even reconstruction. For years I was looking for the right equipment to listen to and mix the approximately 30 tapes. There were approximately 55 audio cassettes on top of that, with uncut recordings from the commune, from the so called „rounds“, the sessions and so forth. My father left me a tumultous accumulation of recordings, creasy & stuck together tapes that were for some curious reason been recorded using the most expensive studio technology you could get back then. However, none of the musicians had learn how to use it.
The Chen Yi commune never was interested in producing records, some of the members even refused any form of release whatsoever. In 1981 one member (Chen 8) released a tape edition called „Hanging“. The title referred to the first 3 english witches who were hanged in Chelmsford, where the commune house was located.
This cassette was sent to various record companies. John Peel saw a potential in Chen Yi which led to a recording contract in 1982/83 with CBS. About 7 tracks were produced for the first Chen Yi LP „The Rape“ in 1982. Basic lines were recorded at the Chen Yi studio in Chelmsford. For 2 tracks the end production was completed at the Trident Studios, London. More couldn’t be finalised, because CBS suddenly pulled out of the contract. This left unfinished tapes of an LP & an EP (3 tracks for a planned Peel Session, 1983), on which partly only drum computer & synthesizer can be heard as a basic pattern.

Chen Yi - RUG / 1982 (WVINYL 024)

New single from Bernardino Femminielli's upcoming album L'EXIL 

Follow : https://soundcloud.com/editionsappaerent

“​ The Ballad of Daddy & Johnny”, co-written with D.Vanchesteing, is an obvious testimony: the melancholy pop lullaby. It's "La ballade de Johnny Jane" (Gainsbourg) but less cheesy and more morbid. Metaphorically, it’s a doll from the 19th century, giggling and looking you straight in the eyes. Musically, it’s a ​Giallo À La Femminielli​. There is no blood, no blade penetration--just a swift graze of the jugular. The bittersweet memories, the American pleasures, and the quest for a dream have become his own undoing-- the mask has finally fallen off. The entertainer can finally emerge on the other side with his double and swallow the pill.

LA BALLADE DE DADDY ET JOHNNY
Bernardino Femminielli: synthesizer / vox / The Showman 
Asaël Robitaille: celesta / piano / Johnny 
Jackson MacIntosh: electric bass
