![]() This show will feature three French Magma-influenced prog/fusion bands: Xalph, Troll, and Xaal. Two of the tapes are unreleased demos, so if you're a Zeuhl fan, be sure to tune in. (The show won't be archived.) |

MrFab:
So does that mean that these bands will sing in their own invented languages, too? | |
![]() |
![]() Sadly, no. (Heya, Mr. Fab!) |
![]() |
![]() Good Tuesday, Tony and all! I read that as "unreleased demons," but maybe that's correct, too. We shall see.... |

MrFab:
And they claim to be Magma-influenced? Death to false Zeuhl! (Heh heh, howdy Tony.) | |

I take it Troll was Tolkien influenced. Maybe not to the point of Bo Hansson. |

![]() Hey ho, Listener James, DCE, and Kay! |
![]() |
![]() All 3 bands today have the patented throbbing, hiccuping Magma-oid bass sound. |
![]() |
![]() I think I'm really going to enjoy this version of Tape Hiss... |
![]() |
![]() Well, I can guarantee there'll be plenty of hiss. |
![]() |
![]() By the by, K7 (as in the title of this tape) is just the French abbreviation for cassette. |
![]() |
![]() Just getting here. Greetin's.. The electric piano is giving this Xalph a nicely Muffins-esque vibe.. |
![]() |
![]() Heya, Turnip! Yep -- Magma on a muffin! |
![]() |
![]() ah, missed the explanation comment at top. But of course... There is a bit of a Muffins/Magma connection as well. One big happy zeuhly family.. |

Hi Tony, all...very magmanimous of you to share these tapes with us. |
![]() |
![]() Ha! I vander if there's a pun in there somewhere. (Hola, Jeremy!) |
![]() |
![]() Really glad I'm in the office today. Would have hated to miss this. All hail the Tony Coulter Tape Vault! |
![]() |
![]() Thanks, James! I was a little worried that this show would be too narrowcast -- but I suppose it's not a bad thing to dig deep into one style occasionally. |
![]() |
![]() Hey, one person's "narrow" is another person's "focused" or "spotlight." Viva la freeform! |

![]() hyperfocal radio |

![]() Heya, Uncle Michael! My next show will be nothing but blank tapes and the spaces between songs. |
![]() |
![]() How about making a C-0.5 and playing it in an auto-reversing deck for three hours? |
![]() |
![]() That'll be my talk-over music. |
![]() |
![]() Better still, a C-0.5 and a C-0.6, both in auto-reversing decks and mixed... |
![]() |
![]() Sounds like early Minimalism -- Hiss Phase Patterns. |
![]() |
![]() Oops -- I think the track on now is actually "Gya Tei." |
![]() |
![]() I must be asleep, I never noticed the mic break. I was wondering how long this tape side was going to be. |
![]() |
![]() And here, finally, is "Xessandereleph." |
![]() |
![]() Greets, NGH! This side of the tape is long -- around 47 minutes. |
![]() |
![]() For the last six weeks or so, when at work, I listen to music in mono and only in one ear. I wonder what effect this will have on my brain. |

Magmafied:
This is Zuehlicious. | |

![]() @ Uncle Michael: One ear will grow to be much larger than the other. And your brain will slide, like jello, to one side of your brain pan. |
![]() |
![]() What's the advantage of that, Tony? How can I leverage this to my benefit? |
![]() |
![]() Maybe start a line of headphones for one ear only? Eventually Apple will buy you out and you'll be a billionaire. |
![]() |
![]() Guess I should have said "a line of headphone." |
![]() |
![]() Beat |
![]() |
![]() By the way, the abrupt end to the last Xalph track is just the way the cassette cookie crumbles. Also, do not fear: Troll doesn't spend too much time trying to be funky. |

Been silently listening. Nice... | |

![]() Thanks, PMD! (And greets!) |

![]() The Hiss Army could use a few more good prog fans for this particular show. Arise from the woodwork, proglodytes! |
![]() |
![]() ^^^ would fave that comment were it a tweet. |
![]() |
![]() I just tweeted that folks have this chance to snag the last hour. Hoping the prog fans have their #prog hashtag ears on (or ear on, if they've also been spending time listening mono). |
![]() |
![]() Ha! Thanks, James! I am not a tweeter-bird myself -- FB is all I can handle when it comes to social media. |
![]() |
![]() Someone's already retweeted me, so I also tweeted the fact that every other week's an unarchived show, but that the regular shows have been known to speak prog, too. Hope folks join in this week or next! |
![]() |
![]() Thanks much! |

Doug Schulkind:
Enjoying you (quietly) in the dentist's lobby while my daughter gets a cleaning. Hi Tony! | |
![]() |
![]() Hey Doug! |
![]() |
![]() Doug, anything good in last October's "Highlights?" |
![]() |
![]() Geez, Doug, some graduation present! Seriously, wish her my best. She's the luckier of the two people I know having dental work today (the other is surgery), but still, dental visits only reach a certain apex of fun. |
![]() |
![]() UM, I was always more of a "Cricket" kid. (This may explain my introversion.) |
![]() |
![]() Doug's probably catching up on Field & Stream. Great piece on sighting scopes from February 2011. |
![]() |
![]() Fine show today, Tony. I'm gonna miss this headspace. |
![]() |
![]() Thankers, UM! |
![]() |
![]() thanks Tony! this was great! |
![]() |
![]() I'd be starring this show if I could, Tony! Many thanks for the hissage! |
![]() |
![]() Thanks everybody! See you next week! |
![]() |
![]() Thanks Tony, for another wonderful show! |
