Flexi-Fall 6

I don't recall the provenance of this flexi-disc - it may well have been a radio promo. It's a cool chunk of avant/noise featuring two tracks from the 1987 Blitzoids album "Stealing From Helpless Children". The Blitzoids-The Beard of Percy/Lobotomy

Flexi-Fall Five

Trouser Press is one of the great lost magazines. Here's a split single from 1983. TV Toy-Boy's Life/Design-Not Even For A Minute

Flexi-Fall 04

Here's a sampler from the first issue of On-Slaught magazine (1982). On-Slaught New Music Compilation No. 1 Alan R-Logarithm TV Toy-Instant This/Instant That Neef-Bison Mark Lane-Third Party

Flexi-Fall 03

I assume that this probably came out of a magazine like Electronic Musician in the early 80s (LinnDrum was released in 1982). As much as I have drum machines, I have to admit this was revolutionary. LinnDrum The Ultimate Dream Machine

Flexi-Fall 02

Skipping a decade of National Geographic, here's Roger Payne, PhD., in 1979 playing and explaining the "Sounds of the Humpback Whale". I think that enjoyed this one because it sounded a lot like the synthesizers of the day.

Flexi-Fall Blasts Off

It's Flexidisk Fall! Here's a disc close to my heart - Astronaut Frank Borman narrates the "Sounds of the Space Age" on this disc that was included in National Geographic in 1969, the height of the space race. You can see for yourself my skill with scissors at age 7.
