From Discogs:
Brume (Christian Renou) is a prolific French musique concrete composer/sound organizer who has been releasing CDs and cassettes worldwide. Renou is remarkable because he engages in elaborate concrete compositions without the academic pretension that surrounds much of the work in this style.

9. Auszug Aus Einem Konzert In Der Düsseldorfer Kunsthalle 1971 (7:45)
This was posted by Mutant Sounds about two years ago, and blurbed about on Matrixsynth about a year ago, but I thought I would bring forth this mammoth recording once again. Seesselberg were a little known German brotherly experimental electronic duo. They recorded this record between 1971 and 1973 and released it themselves in a run of 1000. I am assuming this was all recorded using an intense rig of modular synthesizers and effects... I have a guess that they were using Serge machines from their lone YouTube video online, but also could have used hand-built equipment. This recording makes incredible use of the stereo spectrum. Rich filter sweeps and sample and hold patterns whoosh around your head. Some of the most impressive and out-of-this-world synthesizer sounds I have ever heard. Anyone that is a fan of abstract electronic music and/or freaked out psychedelic music should definitely check this out.
A small German compact disc label, Plate Lunch reissued this recording in 2002... which you can (I think?) purchase here.
The files are separated into two sidelong mp3s.

International Musique Concrete Assembly

1. Untitled
2. Untitled
C-30 mail collaboration tape between 3 somewhat well-known sound manipulators. The initial recordings were by Frans De Waard (Kapotte Muziek)... then they were processed by Jos Smolders (IOSS), and John Hudak.
Interesting release. I definitely heard some teeth brushing in there.

Here's a nice experimental/industrial tape from Mike Honeycutt aka Mystery Hearsay. Lots of overlapping strange synth sounds and noises.
