ee records re-release Pseudocode's 'Europa'

Pseudocode 'Europa' | CD 21 May 2010 | EE20 | limited edition 500 copies

Reissue of Pseudocode's vinyl legacy (2 EPs + 1 LP) remastered in superb sound quality by original member Alain Neffe of Insane fame, 30 years later!

Pseudocode (1979-1982) were a coherent unit of 3 individuals (Xavier S., Guy Marc Hinant and Alain Neffe), non-musicians even, combining emotions with electronic experiments, mostly improvised.

They called it 'potlatch music' and were only trying to express themselves through sound rather than pleasing an audience.

Within just a couple of years they released a fine body of work on vinyl and cassette (Insane Music, Pseudo Records, Sandwich Records) and international network compilations (Datenverarbeitung, Ding Dong, Korm Plastics, Grafika Airlines, Third Mind, Trax,....) and were even noticed by fellow experimentalists such as Harold Budd or Stephen Mallinder (Cabaret Voltaire).

Pseudo Records, 1981 (from: Nostalgie de la Boue)

Pseudo Code was a Belgian experimental - minimal synth band , active at least from 1979 - ?. Their mastermind Alain Neffe is also founder of Insane Music, one of the first great underground tape labels in Europe. Guy-Marc Hinan is one of the two guy's who made the "Sub Rosa" record label. Xavier S used to have a radio show on the Belgian national radio. The group had been temporarily shelved while Alain Neffe concentrated on his main project Bene Gesserit. "We play potlatch music which is emotional music, or more accurately emotional sounds, because we are not musicians".

Excepter via Alain Neffe

Mr Alain Neffe of Insane records has just informed me of a new release by Excepter Live Split w/ Pseudo Code 3"CD on 777 was 666 Records

Hypnotic Space Disco '80 model vs '00 model
Both band's tracks are previously unreleased and exlusive for this release (Japanese).




Pseudo Code is a Belgian industrial band, active from 1979 - 1982.
Their mastermind Alain Neffe is also founder of Insane Music
(Trazegnies, Belgium),
one of the first great underground tape labels in europe. Guy-Marc
Hinant is one of the two
guys who made the label "Sub Rosa". Xavier S has a radio show on the
Belgian national radio.
"We play potlatch music which is emotional music, or more accurately
emotional sounds,
because we are not musicians."

Excepter is a six-member improvisational electronic and vocal group
based in NYC lead by "Pork Chop" a dance-a-holic lover boy whom I first encountered in Wreck Room in Bushwick dancing above me - one leg on the bar, one on the wall.
The Excepter live experience remains an unpredictable,
mystifying affair – I didn't know that when I went to see them play at Death by Audio's Maze in September 2009 that I would pass out 10 minutes into the set (which you can stream live by clicking here) (thank you Rhygin Punni and Blue Dream for that one - it was WOAH).
They started jamming in 2002 with the stated intent to use the tools of dance music
towards esoteric ends.
Excepter was behind many of the classic recordings associated with the
00's 'Brooklyn Noise' phenomenon.

Streams of live recordings can be found on Excepter's website
