the death of the cd.
2008. no more bellyaching about the decline of a kind of music
industry that we never wanted anyway! now is the time to celebrate
something we demanded more than 20 years ago: the collapse of this
system! the end of the compact disc!
in 1987 hans platzgumer, a 17 year old punk from austria, released
his first record: a noisy, straight in-your-face statement called
"tod der cd!" (death to the cd!). in so doing, the kid established
a conspirative society of cd-enemies with whom he waged his
romantic adolescent fury against the slick new currents
threatening to drown vinyl in its lacquered undertow.
today we face the downfall of the cd's reign. the evil bastard is
threatened with extinction and merely vinyl and downloads will
survive.
for two decades there have been thoughts about re-releasing "tod
der cd!" whose status has solidified into that of a legendary and
rare gem. but hell, there was no way to re-release it on cd. the
time just wasn't right to come back with this issue, to say
nothing of the venue. but now, with the cd reaching
near-obsoletion, it is the perfect moment to bring back that
lovely old vinyl in readily consumptive & trashy mp3 format. low
resolution of course.
"tod der cd!" was produced with a hard-edge "lo-fi" noise-attitude
in the mid-80s. years later this very lo-fi-movement became a
genre unto itself, embodying the free spirit of the then
uncorrupted "independent" ideology of making and distributing
music oneself. now and once again the genuine d.i.y appeal can be
revived; and the 16 mp3s comprising hans platzgumer's first
masterpiece, replete with distorted 4-track-recordings, weird
sounds and bad lyrics finally shine again.
for those who care to acquire the original artwork (cover,
in-sleeve and poster), the "tod der cd!"-lp will be accessible in
rarity stores and at vinyl fairs. to all others: join in, brothers
and sisters! enjoy the bargains of a sellout world! point your
browser to itunes or whoever your favourite mp3-monger might be.
all you need is a few cents. celebrate the new era with these
crackling vinyl sounds of eras bygone. stop the weeping. quality
is dead. now bring the noise!
