Track on now has no group name listed -- just five or so musicians names, including Frank Pahl ... so I've listed it as Frank Pahl, a.o., even though he may not be the main person here. I will repeat that dubious approach throughout the tape.

Mr. Pahl really makes you work to decipher the tracklist on this tape. After each song title, there is a series of numbers, each of which refers to a musician listed on a separate part of the cover. An insert adds mostly cryptic comments for further clues.

One thing that has always puzzled me: It almost seems like there are more musicians making weird music than there are people that like weird music. Where do they all come from?
Avatar 1:23pm
Tony Coulter:

I mean, all people, *including* those mystery musicians -- meaning, the numbers don't add up!
  1:24pm
MrFab:

Lets test your theory Tony: who here makes weird music?
Avatar 1:25pm
Tony Coulter:

Or: Who here makes weird music even though they hate weird music?

I don't make weird music, but I make weird-ish pictures and I used to write a little about weird music.

V Priceless:

Avatar 1:39pm
Tony Coulter:

Let me state my puzzle a bit more clearly. Let's say, hypothetically, there are 10,000 people total who like weird music. Despite this, there are 50,000 weird records out there, involving 200,000 different musicians. Where do all those extra weird music fans come from? Are they space aliens?
Avatar 1:44pm
Cecile:

I think weird music is like writing experimental poetry. The practitioners outnumber the audience if you count non-performers and are the audience if you do.
Avatar 1:44pm
V Priceless:

perhaps it's fair to say not every musician who makes weird music is a fan of it? I mean, a gig's a gig, to some, I suppose.
Avatar 1:45pm
Cecile:

that too, VP. Love, friendship, duty and drunkeness probably all play a factor for the musician non-fans.
Avatar 1:49pm
V Priceless:

...especially drunkeness, C! ha!
Avatar 1:49pm
geezerette:

You could be making music you don't think is weird but everyone else thinks is. Like people who build bottle houses with stairs that go nowhere.

geezerette:

& hi everyone!
Avatar 1:50pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Cecile & VP: Well put -- and I'm sure that's true. Still, it really does amaze me how the weird music well never runs dry. There's always something new to uncover, even if you limit your search to a single decade.
Avatar 1:50pm
Mayuko:

my 1st theory: Possibly it's all same small number of people using 200,000 different names?

my 2nd more realistic theory: artists don't buy each others work too often, like there are way bigger population of artists than art collectors/buyers. Maybe same thing is happening in the weird music industry.
Avatar 1:51pm
Tony Coulter:

Heya, geezerette!

What you say is true too! There's also a giant boatload of unintentionally weird stuff out there, of course.

Mayuko I really like theory 2. :)

geezerette:

Howdy Tony!
Avatar 1:58pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Mayuko: There's definitely something to your theory number one as well! The musicians in Die Trip Computer Die (up next) all have dozens of pseudonyms ... as in Amos = L. Voag = Xentos ... and on and on.....
Avatar 1:58pm
Mayuko:

geezerette I kinda prefer my 1st theory though, I like to imagine there are a few super crazy people who are totally obsessed and making weird music under 200,000 different names 365 days every year so that it never gets dry. Kind of encouraging somehow.

There's no tracklist on this tape, but they announce each track, so...

John Davison:

When house and techno became the dominant styles of dance music in the late 1980s, it was popular for artists to issue material under a variety of project names. Here are some of the reasons that I could think of:
1. A new project name will not carry associations or expectations associated with a previous project name.
1a. Footnote: the Human League rev. 2 tinkered with "Red" and "Blue" releases in an attempt to leverage the goodwill associated with the "Human League" name but distinguish between musical styles.
2. Consumers searching for something new and fresh tend to prefer a new project name to one they've encountered already.
3. A new project name prevents consumer fatigue toward an artist who issues too much material under the same name in too short a time. Of course, this doesn't prevent consumer fatigue toward labels if all of the material is issues on the same label.
