Plus Instruments 79/80 - Limited Edition (200)
Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
Released on Dead Mind Records. 200 copies on black vinyl with insert. Sold out are the 75 copies on purple vinyl Special edition with a signed and numbered print, an envelope with 4 small prints and a cassette with 2 archival live performances from the same period. A Truus de Groot solo performance at Van Abbe Museum, Eindhoven (1980) and a performance with Michel Waisvisz and Bregt Camphuijzen at the Notre Dame Hall, London (1979).The recordings for this LP were made by De Groot at home and the music is experimental and industrial, it sounds nothing like some of the later material. 7 tracks are taken from the elusive and impossible to find self-released debut cassette as ‘Truss Plus Instruments’ which was sparingly distributed through the legendary Alien Brains fanzine. The other 7 are from the same period (1979-1980) and were selected from the vast archive of De Groot. This selection serves as a long overdue testament of the formative phase of a true female pioneer of electronic music. *For EU shipping please note address as US (it will ship from EU)

about

Plus Instruments San Diego, California

Plus Instruments' existence spans over the last 4 decades. Established in 1978 by Truus de Groot in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, amidst the explosion of Punk Rock. Even though Truus was very active in that genre and “New Wave” as well, the more experimental side gradually took over and the concept of Plus Instruments was born. Plus Instruments is still going strong! Check out Truus' Blue Beast ! ... more
