CAPTAGON YEARS SERIE #4

available only as chrystal green LP limited edition

Reissue of their 1982 mythic album: Europa.

Belgian electronic improvised music band, active from 1980 to 1982 featuring
Xavier Ess (Thrills)
Guy-Marc Hinant
Alain Neffe (Insane Music, Bene Geserit)

In that time, the onset of the eighties, we had the opportunity to create from sound itself instead of notes, from noise, screams, any chord, relevant or irrelevant.
Xavier (with Stéphane Barbery, Digital Dance), had been in one of Brussels' first punk bands, Thrills. Alain had over 10 years of music experience and was influenced by kosmische musik and all kinds of weird and experimental music; he had put together several improvisation ensembles in the area, including the noisy Kosmose, which I joined as a teenager. Now that I had digested punk, I was into Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, The Pop Group, Red Crayola, This Heat... and all these influences show up upon listen. (GMH)
