Lots of Futch and Plainguet recently. The rumor is that Futch is going to remaster and release is stuff like Plainguet has, so I can’t wait for that. Futch put out at least three tapes in 1987 -this one, along with Buy Dis Album Ore God Will Disconnect My Fone (Castaway Part 3) and 21. But it seems he went on a break until 1989’s Fantasy Amidst The Storm. Well, on break as far as a solo artist – Crazed Bunnyz did release Blutgasse in 1988. Anyways, this tape is heavy on instrumentals – only one or two songs per side has vocals. The instrumentals are also pretty minimalist and mostly lacking in percussion. It’s still pretty cool tape – I always seem to like what these two put out.
