Looking back on my earliest days as 'boss' of a cassette label, I see a combination of youthful enthusiasm and painful naivety. By accident, I compiled an excellent compilation cassette, 'Katacombe Volume 3', which was well-received, despite the low-key package. As an excuse, that package was part of the whole idea. Here's a master tape and many covers. Now you copy them. The 'success' of this compilation prompted me to do a series of compilations, and I drew up a list of people whose music I liked, asking them for ten minutes of music and four postcard-sized artworks. I no longer have the original invitation, but I believe the reasoning was that this series would introduce these musicians, which, in hindsight, one could see as an insult. I also copied the 'here's a master, and now you copy' idea from Katacombe 3 for this. As for the introduction of new musicians, Bourbonese Qualk had a few LPs out, so did Controlled Bleeding and SBOTHI; why would they need an introduction on a small cassette label in the Netherlands? However, maybe they did send a contribution is saying something about the nature of what we call the 'cassette network'? As for the other idea I had, that each artist would copy cassettes themselves and release them on their label, so there are alternative covers with different names of labels. Please don't look for these alternative versions; I don't think anyone did this. I no longer recall who refused to be part of it; I am sure someone must have said no. When I had all the contributions, I put these volumes of '6x10=60' together - if ever there is a price for an unimaginative title, here's a winner. The artwork I made with a 'font' I designed back then; I believe I called it 'Kart', meaning 'konstrukt art'. In thinking about the order of the tracks in some order, I went for variation, always starting with the most accessible track first. I bought plastic bags, copied the artwork, and while watching TV, I'd cut the covers, every half hour walking to my room to switch tapes. I still have a pretty good sense when thirty minutes are over.
The reception was lacklustre. Graf Haufen, present as FâLX çèrêbRi on the first volume, was most vocal "I dislike the cover and book! I don't like to release it like this". However, I understood the need for thematic compilations and better presentation later on.
However, I always thought the music was great, with a subtle variation of what is commonly known as 'industrial music'. From the noise of Merzbow, the cut-up of S.B.O.T.H.I. and Asod Dvi, the doom drone vocal of FâLX çèrêbRi, and the various rhythmic approaches of Bande Berne Crematoire, Het Zweet and Throw Me Your Finger; it is, indeed, an introduction. Some names you know, some you didn't, and that's precisely what a compilation in the mid-80s should do.
The presentation of this re-issue is something I could never imagine; not then, not now.
