~ BREAKTHROUGH ~

An Amazing Experiment in Electronic Communication with the Dead.

Examples of voices received during experiments!

(1971 VISTA RECORDS - VERY RARE ORIGINAL UK 7” EXTENDED PLAY)

Konstantin Raudive was a scientist and writer who dedicated his life to the study OF EVP - Electronic Voice Phenomenon. With radios, tape machines and other electronic devices he tried TO get in contact with the Dead and recorded hundreds of messages during the years.

His techniques, recordings and visions had a great influence on artists and musicians like Mike Kelley, The Hafler Trio, Asmus Tietchens, Zbigniew Karkowski, Nurse With Wound, Leif Elggren and C.M. von Hausswolff. All of them worked with EVP and dedicated some works to the early researchers.

This 7" is the very rare original edition from 1971 that accompanied the release of Raudive's book Breakthrough in the UK during the high times of EVP research. THIS AMAZING RECORD features selectionS from RAUDIVE’S archives.

THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS VISTA VMS 100
