SPACES LP PRIVATE PRESS AVANT GARDE SYNTH NEW WAVE OST!
Obscure Australian release from 1981 not to be confused with the jazz fusion outfit 'Spaces' on Arista, this band is called !!! or tch tch tch...like the current Warp records artist only 15 years earlier...this is a private press soundtrack to some Videotapes funded by the Australian Film Commission, hard to pigeonhole the material on here as it it is truly original! standouts are the dancefloor friendly proto techno metallic rhythms & bubbling synth bassline of 'Expressive Space' which could easily fit into an Italo/Balearic/Techno DJ set, 'Flat Space' is super chilled & sets the same mood as some of Stereolab or Tortoise's ambient output, 'Total Space' beatless trippy squelchy acid synth sequence punctuated with strange otherworldy voices..freaky! 'Color Space' sounds like A Certain Ratio or a factory release, live drums, triggered synths & that chorusy effect on Bass you'd associate with New Order provide the backing track while the Australian voices provide a monotone narrative about the intricices of knitting..bizarre!
I googled the label & could only find this info>>>The early '80's brought an astounding wave of post-punk eclecticism from Melbourne. Gathered loosely around the Clifton Hill Community Music Centre, acts like Essendon Airport, Dave & Phil Duo, and Tch Tch Tch interrogated the spaces between experimental music, populist rhetoric, and avant-gardism. David Chesworth of Essendon Airport was notional 'head' of the Clifton Hill centre from 1978 - 1983, coordinating the live performances held at the Organ Factory venue, and acting as 'scene catalyst' for the nascent charges of experimentation. The Clifton Hill Community Music Centre also branched out into performance art, film and video works, and so forth - a real cross-wiring of artistic thought. The Innocent Records label released a lot of singles by all the artists mentioned and in general collected together a catalogue of primo other-air sounds. (For example, try and find the debut Essendon Airport single, "Sonic Investigations of the Trivial" - and then draw some parallels between that slab of vinyl and the electronic pop/lounge miniatures of acts like Stereolab, Broadcast and Minimum Chips - you'll be pleasantly surprised.)
