On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

VA: pt. 10 - Big Body Parts

Here's an experimental electronic compilation based on manipulation of speech recordings. The title comes from a quote by Brion Gysin. 

This release was done toward the end of the operations of Big Body Parts. Only a small portion of the copies were distributed by BBP (mostly to contributors). The remaining printed pieces went to Anomalous Reocords in 1993 where the remaining copies were distributed, in a variety of hand-made packages using the same materials. 

 

Various - Rub Out the Word 2xcassette, Big Body Parts BBP C3, 1989.

    Nice one mate. This should be interesting, as i've been interested in vocal manipulation ever since i first heard Alvin Lucier's 'I Am Sitting In A Room', which blew my mind.

      "I am sitting in a room different from the one you are in now. I am recording the sound of my speaking voice and I am going to play it back into the room again and again until the resonant frequencies of the room reinforce themselves so that any semblance of my speech, with perhaps the exception of rhythm, is destroyed. What you will hear, then, are the natural resonant frequencies of the room articulated by speech. I regard this activity not so much as a demonstration of a physical fact, but more as a way to smooth out any irregularities my speech might have." - Alvin Lucier.

      What a great work.of art, the act of minimal music going from ambient to drone. Definitive. Thanks for the reminder, brother.

    You said: "If you want any of his KLF output then you'll have to ask nicely." This is what I was referring to when I asked about Moody Boyz and Tony Thorpe. Looking for some of his KLF/JAMM output. Thank you very much, and again very nice blog.

      How are these???

      On The White Room, Tony is credited on all tracks except 3-6.

      Tony is listed as beatmaster for What Time is Love? (Techno Gate mix). Included is What Time is Love? (Moody Boys vs KLF mix). I have added them as bonus tracks with 3 AM Eternal.
