Fourth Dimension

<p>Fourth Dimension is a music label founded by Gary Levermore of Third Mind Records in 1983. However, it was later taken over by Richard Johnson (aka Richo) from Grim Humour fanzine after the first release. This label is dedicated to showcasing various genres of underground music, ranging from noise-rock and post-punk to Japanese noise, improv, abstract electronics, and so-called 'outsider' music. With its DIY sensibility, Fourth Dimension continues to thrive alongside Richo's other labels - Lumberton Trading Company and Winter Hill Recordings. In addition to his occasional Adverse Effect journal and his groups Splintered and Theme, Fourth Dimension has also ventured into publishing books.</p>

Stare Taśmy is a Polish typical supergroup, at least by Krakow standards. The musicians have quite an impressive background, including punk, improv, experimental and even classical music. They've joined forces here to let out a loud shriek of angry disbelief, triggered by the general shape of the current society and the amount of malarkey in Polish public discourse. The album is titled <i>Kryzys Czytelnictwa</i> and consists of six punk, jazz and religious chants, all combined to form this quite specific, powerful music. The genre they represent (and actually invented, too) is called 'dark prog reality stand-up': hysterically serious compositions are filled with sampled voices of politicians, decades-old speeches found on abandoned anonymous cassette tapes and articles from current newspapers read out loud without any changes to the silliness and hatred of the original texts. Because there's no need to criticise anyone anymore, the world is perfect as it is. They just appreciate the details.
