Siegfried Wendel - oldtime music - Vintage mechanical instrument devices lp (SMM03)

I bought this album the other week from a charity shop for 49p purely because i found the cover interesting lol, it looked weird and strange and the black and white sleeve reminded me of a family album i have.
Musically its very strange its old music from the 1700s / 1800s etc played on automatic instruments such as music boxes and flutes etc, the missus and kids didnt like it :P
the only online presence i found really was an oxfam page where it had been sold for £8.99, not one download site came up...so "enjoy"

heres the tracklisting

Elliott Sharp - NOTS

from wiki
"Elliott Sharp (b. Cleveland, Ohio, March 1, 1951) is an American multi-instrumentalist, composer, and performer.

A key figure in the avant-garde and experimental music scene in New York City for over thirty years, Sharp has released over sixty-five recordings ranging from blues, jazz, and orchestral music to noise, no wave rock, and techno music. He pioneered ways of applying fractal geometry, chaos theory, and genetic metaphors to musical composition and interaction, as well as the use of computers in live improvisation with his Virtual Stance project of the 1980s. He is an inveterate performer, playing mainly guitar, saxophone and bass clarinet. Sharp has led many ensembles over the years, including the blues-oriented Terraplane and Orchestra Carbon."

NOTS is from 1982 and is on noted indie label Glass records (Spacemen 3, Pulp) and is quite strange, a mix of "indie" and improvised style jazz i suppose. I did think it was strange till i heard a couple of his other albums actually, and found its actually one of the more saner accessible albums of his.
