Minimal Wave Records

No way that the demo songs are fake..I heard them and they sound as authentic as can be. Doesnt seem too far fetched that he tracked down the studio guy. And those songs have to have come from somewhere! But I agree the second part of the story where he claims to have met Roy Young is very dubious the least.

Look at this.  Also a bootleg, also a shame for the pure minimal freaks among us ? Just look how many people got this one and how many are still looking for it.  I believe this says enough. :wink:

Yes, unfortunately!!

And Alain Neffe was pretty annoyed by the use of the Bene Gesserit track on that comp.

They could at least not skimp out on the art work

I got my copy today,  the sound quality isn’t all that bad, although you can hear some strange scratches at some points, and it doesnt seem to be remasterd :?  but the cover is really really awful,  I mean jeez couldn’t the guy who bootlegged this just make a reproduction of the original cover?
Oh well, better than nothing anywayz.. 

[quote author=“Echo_Frau”]What about Karlchen, he also met the studio man no?
I think he got it…

I asked him several times to give my contact-adress to these guy, but he don’t want to mix private freindship with the record collector’s scene.

It’s ok, I understand his point of view…

Not so crazy, I think, just look at this one : http://cgi.ebay.de/Strange-Sounds-2-Transparent-Illusion-League-of-Nations_W0QQitemZ200106155238QQihZ010QQcategoryZ306QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD2VQQcmdZViewItem

“Poor” buyers! But definitely not from this forum.  :wink:

This is exactly what he told me some years ago. yes indeed, that’s understandable to him but then he should give the hint to anybody who dare to release it.

When looking to that prices for a bootleg, this is hilarous to see what people are able to do just for the money.  8O

your copy arrived today too

The sound is fine, I don’t regret that I bought it.
Curious on how the original sounds in comparision, got to visit a friend to give it a listen
hmh
*jealous*

yes but that price we got was fair for a bootleg, but not almost 100 euros!
Imagine what is 100 euros, almost one year of food for Gowniaz!

My copy of Transparent Illusion record is at home.
Personally, I like the cover because it’s a very “minimal” drawing in black and white. The sound is also perfect : no strange noises or scratches. A copy of one of the rarest minimal record for 30$, that’s really not so expensive. In any event, a bootleg is better than nothing (or a bad mp3), no ?

Conclusion :  I’m happy !  :D
