Le Petomane:

French version of Krautrock? I always thought there 1 or 2 essential differences between the two.
For one, Krautrock's jump off point was may be Piper at the Gates of Dawn. But was'nt France's Soft Machine' Third.
Secondly Krautrock had many superstars in their scene, Amon Duul 2, Ash Ra, Can, Popul Vuh, Faust, Tangerine Dream etc.
French underground rock lived in the shadow of Magma, the true giants of the scene.

The sound man for this Wapassou has a little mishap shortly -- you can hear him cursing and the sound drops out for a bit.

lemme just bring the guitar down a bit... OH MERD!!!!
Avatar 12:10pm
tonyc:

@ Le Petomane: You're certainly right that krautrock is much better known than the French equivalent -- but it shouldn't be that way, as the French scene was just as impressive. Magma was just one of many flavors....

Well, this ought to be an experience. Hi there Mr. tonyc.

Le Petomane:

so French Rock made less impact world wide than British/German prog?
Avatar 12:14pm
tonyc:

Much less -- though in the last 10 years or so it's gotten better known, I'd say.
  12:15pm
Van in DC:

Wait. live on French radio? Tony did you record this on a cassette or something?
Avatar 12:16pm
tonyc:

@ Van: It is from a cassette, yes.
Avatar 12:18pm
tonyc:

In fact, everything heard today is from cassette and is unreleased.
  12:21pm
Le Petomane:

suppose in the same way Tony, US prog is just as obscure as French's?
Avatar 12:22pm
tonyc:

Maybe even more obscure!
  12:25pm
Le Petomane:

really loving this piece, has just about everything in it,

ah Clearlight Symphony came to my mind a minute ago. Must be those cosmic keyboard keys!

Glad you liked it!

Wow, like something straight out of "BladeRunner" :)

Blade Runner? More like The Day the Earth Stood still!

Unfortunately, none of the tracks on this demo tape ever came out in any form -- as far as I know, anyhow.
Avatar 12:54pm
tonyc:

The track titles are handwritten in a somewhat scribbly script -- so I may be misreading some of them (like the one on now)

"In the Distant" is how Google Translate renders "Dans les Lointains" - is that correct...?

Doug S.:

Hey hey Tony!
I was working so intently on my show for 6pm that I forgot to turn you on. Thanks for turning me on!
  1:02pm
listener james from westwood:

digging this show most heavily on a crazy day. afternoon and good tuesday, all! been running back and forth between computer and hot water heater (upstairs neighbor's unit is leaking into my unit, so have to be quick w the shop vac!).
Avatar 1:03pm
tonyc:

Hey there, Doug!

@ Van: More or less correct, yes -- maybe "In the Far Away Places" would be more colloquial.
Avatar 1:04pm
tonyc:

@ Listener James; ACK!!! My sympathies....
Avatar 1:06pm
tonyc:

None of these Demouron tracks have ever been released either....
  1:07pm
listener james from westwood:

thanks. very little water got into my actual apt., but i did get a call while out this morning that there was leakage to the unit below me. they entered, vacuumed out the water in the basin surrounding my heater (the overflow basins are all linked via pipes), but it had refilled quite quickly about an hour ago. fun fun.
Avatar 1:12pm
tonyc:

When I lived in Brooklyn, my upstairs neighbor's heater was always dripping like crazy. There were big stains on that part of my wall -- plus some records and books got soaked until I wised up and moved everything out of that part of the room.
  1:12pm
Doug S.:

Good luck, LJFW! Water, water neverywhere.
  1:16pm
listener james from westwood:

yech, that's never fun to find out the hard way. i'm paranoid b/c a 2nd-story unit here had its water heater completely give way and flood 2 1st-story units. ceiling plaster collapse and everything, so 3 units total were waterlogged.
  1:17pm
listener james from westwood:

doug, it sounds like the flow has dwindled, so your neverywhere has come to fruition, thankfully. i don't have to run around putting everything up high or in plastic as i did ahead of hurricane irene.

Can anyone tell me about current works by Etron Fou members?

@ Le Petomane: Great albums! Have 'em all, except for the Les Variations one.
  1:45pm
Ricardo Montalban:

I've been listening from another dimension. Wonderfully hissy show, Tony!
Avatar 1:46pm
tonyc:

@ E.F.L. admirer: Not too up on the very latest, having sort of lost track around 6 or 7 years ago. They're all still cooking away, though.
  1:47pm
Le Petomane:

Strange story Les Variations, started as Psychedelic, went on to in the early 70s to kind of Led Zep sound with Morrocan musical edges to the sound.

Then they disappeared until I discovered they had become religious and turned in Chassidic Sefardic rock band Raya Mehemna!

got to leave early tonight because its England V Ukraine in the Euros!
Old Blighty really needs my support, so I've dusted off the Union Jack, got out the old rattles, and

COME ON ENGLAND!

@ Ricardo M: Thanks, senor! Glad the show didn't make you throw a hissy-fit.

Okay, thanks...greatly enjoying the show today, much more than I actually honestly thought I would, but need to take a short break :)
Avatar 2:09pm
tonyc:

Feeling over-hissed? Come back refreshed....
Avatar 2:11pm
tonyc:

On that subject, do you -- oh listeners -- find the sound quality of these "Tape Hiss" shows more or less OK? Or does it get wearing? There's only so much de-hiss-ification I can do to pretty up the sound.
  2:13pm
northguineahills:

This hiss is fine. It's overtly hissacle.
Avatar 2:14pm
tonyc:

And hiss-storical, I like to think.
Avatar 2:17pm

Anybody else? I really would like to know. The compression involved in streaming intensifies the hiss, unfortunately.

They only have one release, which is also live in Italy, oddly -- but none of these tracks are on it.
  2:27pm
Van in DC:

Okay all refreshed.

Hiss? What hiss? :)
  2:27pm
Carmichael:

Since I'm listening on POS computer speakers at a low volume, I really don't notice the difference. I'll have to check out the archives on my mega system back at the fortified NORAD bunker when I get home.
  2:28pm
Ricardo Montalban:

I've never found the sound quality of the Hiss shows to be an hissue. They sound fine to me, but then I listen to it through some audio VST effects to offset the compression of internet audio. It's a bit hissy on headphones but it sounds less so on my monitors.

Doug Schulkind:

Art Moulu, by the way, means ground-up art. They originally called themselves Art Moulu Tres Fin: Finely Ground Art.

@Carm - this isn't being archived I don't think...
Avatar 2:30pm
tonyc:

Thanks for the hiss reports, all. Glad the sound quality is OK -- may actually sound worse to me, since I'm just on a laptop with crappy built-in speakers. And, no, like all Tape Hiss shows, this is not being archived.
  2:30pm
Van in DC:

Doug! GRRRRR...guess where I'm from? ;)
  2:33pm
Carmichael:

Van, I hear Texas is a nice place to be "from" ... :-)

No archives, eh? I'll just have to call in sick two weeks from today.
  2:36pm
Doug Schulkind:

@Van
I didn't say everyone from Texas is an arsenpheffer! You are quite the opposite (that makes you a Phesenarfer!)

enjoyed the show today, tony. for the record, any low-fi on the recordings so far in this series has been no prob with me. i grew up in the analog era and wrassled with on-air fmu static in the pre-stream times. i've got a wide definition of normal!
