Excellent experimental/industrial cassette featuring German bands from Nürnberg. And here’s the little info about some of the bands I could find. P.C.R.: This three piece band was, next to Doc Wör Mirran, the best known and admired industrial/experimental band to come out of the greater Nürnberg area. Comprising Adrian, his brother Constantin as well as Peter Schuster, known for his work under the name Tesendalo, they gave several concerts in the Nürnberg area in the late 1980s, releases several cassette only releases on various labels as well as their one LP on eMpTy Records, before disbanding around 1990 or so. Die Rache was a short lived side project of Peter Schuster, who is more known under the name Tesendalo. Where Tesendalo is much more ambient oriented, Die Rache, which in English means “Revenge”, catered much more to the harsh industrial electronics scene. Several cassettes on various labels around the world as well as tracks on many sampler cassettes made them an important part of the world wide cassette scene. Silent Voices is another project of Peter Schuster. Kopfschmerztablette every city on this planet had their cassette scene, several friends that recorded in their bedrooms or apartments their industrial / experimental sound collages, copied their own cassettes and traded these “releases” with their friends. Many of the worlds top experimental artists started out this way. One of the most interesting and innovative artists that the scene in Nürnberg, Germany, produced was Kopfschmerztablette, which in German means something like “headache-pill”. Founded by Michael Wurzer, Kopfschmerztablette released a good dozen or so cassette-only releases as well as some tracks on various cassette and vinyl samplers in the late 1980s to early 1990s before dissapearing from the music scene. Besides his recordings under the name Kopfschmerztablette, Michael also ran a cassette label called Clockwork Tapes. Arbeit Macht Klang Nürnberg Sampler was released as a cassette by Tonspur Tapes (TT 5) in 198?.
