The Members of the Electric Residence (All Instruments)

All that survives from the strange world of the Electric Residence, allegedly are two acetates, one reel to reel tape and a cassette tape.

These are taken from the cassette tape, I would imagine the sound experiments were from the late 1960's and the Residents performance from 1973.

Anyway, its weird stuff, NOT easy listening.

Camille Andre Sauvage was a French soul-jazz-funk clarinettist, library composer and orchestra leader, born 4th April 1910.

His library compositions were a mixture of experimental jazz and electronics.

This album is full of atmospheric and creepy sounds, where bells and keyboards intertwine with jazz rhythms and strange timings.

Many of these pieces would easily fit with White Noise An Electric Storm In Hell from 1969.

1981

01.It Takes A Bliss

02.Musical Behind Head

Just 500 copies of this album were made, I managed to get my copy from the good old Record & Tape Exchange in Camden back in 1983, wondered what the hell I had brought when I eventually got around to playing it. 

I was drawn to the record based soley on the Pre-Raphelite picture on the label, musically it reminded me of The Residents with its weird mix of sound collage and experimental electronics.

It seems the band were essentially two brothers; Richard and Phillip Rupenus, it has since emerged that other contributions came from Nigel Jacklin (Alien Brains), Sean Breadin and John Mylotte both from the band 'Funeral Danceparty'.

The band quickly vanished, perhaps the world was not ready for their experiments in sound, yet in 2019 the name started to appear again with Fluxxus duo 'Kommissar Hjuler Und Frau' and only recently a brand new 7" single called 'I am as I Have Spoken', the world finally came to accept this for of music as art or is it art as music, either way a fantastic record.

12.Pavel Blatny – Dix Minutes 30

 Musique Pour L'Image was a library music label set up in 1967 by jazz composer Robert Viger. 

This albums music destined no doubt for films and television is one of the more interesting with a single contribution from Czech composer and musicologist Pavel Blatny providing ten wonderful minutes for a piece that was perhaps the thirty as eluded to in the title.At times the drumming is of near death metal speeds!

The rest of the album is comprised of pieces by Alain Petitgirard known as Alain Kremski, a French musician and composer of contemporary music, famed for his use of Asian instruments and creations using Tibetan bowls.

Overall a great album of abstract modern classical music that makes for disturbing listening.

 Planet was a record label started here in Doncaster by David Moffitt in 1978.

It was a short lived lable producing one "rock" album by 'Pagan Bo' a "Folk" album by Charlie Webster and a "Punk" album.

Legend tells that 1000 copies were pressed, yet 200 copies were sold. Eventually in 1990 the rest of the albums were taken to the local dump!

Doncaster a fine heritage for rock music from John McLaughlin (Alexis Korner, Graham Bond, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Mahavishnu Orchestra, etc) to Lady June (Gong, Brian Eno, Vivian Stanshall, etc) But it is Punk that Doncaster is well known for. The Sex Pistols played at the Outlook club in september 1976 and as 'Tax Exiles' played an infamous show on 24.08.77 on the SPOTS tour. A good year for Punk in Doncaster as The Ramones, Adverts, Damned, Talking Heads, Sham 69 and a host of other well known names. There was even a local fanzine called 'The Lookout'.

Local band Vice Squad (NOT the Beki Bondage band) would headline the venue in March 78, also in 78 The Diks formed and had a small degree of success including a support slot for The Adverts and another band on this album The Negatives.
