Dom Dummaste - Lars Cleveman, Martin Rössel & Dom Dummaste TAPE 1980

Although mutant sounds posted this fantastic cassette a while back i might as well post it here so that more people have a chance to hear the magic that is dom dummaste. dom dummaste's history is a long one, they still exists to this day and performs sporadically, but it all started at a late night party where Martin Rössel met then (and still is) opera-singer Lars Cleveman. they shared a love for bowie, eno and especially iggy pop with his 77-album the idiot, where one of the songs, dum dum boys, gave them their name, roughly translated to swedish as Dom Dummaste. with absurd humor as one of their main strengths coupled with a mad sense of absolute reality they wrote songs, and started performing live together with some friends, but during their long existence lots of people have mingled among their ranks and the only two people thats always remained as the main core is Martin and Lars. This fantastic tape was recorded in the legendary swedish EMS-studio, a sort of focus point for the experimental electronic music in the 60-70s, where the two took lectures in electronic composing. when the studio was emptied at night, they snuck in and recorded this mass of electronic absurdity. needless to say it is unique in swedish contemporary music, and dom dummaste have never really managed to record something like this again, even though their following albums are great. listen to "labyrint 1" (a track not included in the 90's reissue) and drift away to the magnificent piano only to be struck down to earth by the harsh utterings of a military experiment gone wrong, or "ståltråd åt grabbarna", one of my favourites, where lars belches out all that is wrong with our society. this is truly genius at work. and id better label it minimal synth, as well, since it reaches those goals, but this is so much more. as i said, dd still exists to this day, and even have a very nice website which youll have to visit.
