about

“EARLY ACTION” INCLUDES EXTENDED SECTIONS OF THE VERY FIRST DIRECT-TO-CASSETTE RECORDINGS OF RADIO FREQUENCIES, METAL PERCUSSION, AND VOICE, MADE SHORTLY AFTER INTRINSIC ACTION WAS FORMED, IN 1984. THESE RECORDINGS WERE RELEASED AS A DEMO CASSETTE TITLED “ANTI-KLAN ARTICLE.” A SMALL NUMBER OF THESE CASSETTES WERE DUPLICATED AND GIVEN TO CLOSE FRIENDS. MY CHOICES FOR THE COVER ARTWORK AND THE TITLE OF THE ORIGINAL DEMO CASSETTE WERE INFLUENCED BY MY INTEREST IN A COMBINATION OF POLITICALLY CHARGED AND/OR RADICAL EARLY INDUSTRIAL AND SECOND-WAVE PUNK BANDS, INCLUDING CRASS, TEST DEPT., DISCHARGE, LAIBACH, FLUX OF PINK INDIANS, EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN, ETC., WHICH I WAS LISTENING TO AT THE TIME. BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR THAT THE IMAGE AND THE TITLE WERE UNQUESTIONABLY MEANT AS AN ANTI-RACIST STATEMENT. THE OTHER THREE SONGS ON THIS ARCHIVAL RELEASE WERE DRAWN FROM THE FIRST FOUR-TRACK CASSETTE AND REEL-TO-REEL RECORDINGS THAT WERE MADE IN 1984, FOLLOWING THE RELEASE OF OUR DEMO. ALL OF THIS MATERIAL PREDATES THE SONGS THAT WERE RELEASED ON OUR SELF-TITLED CASSETTE FROM 1985 (VESTIGE CD 2). THE FRONT COVER IMAGE ON THIS CD IS A DETAIL FROM A WOODCUT, TITLED “OUTSIDE IS HOSTILE,” PRINTED BY ME, IN 1984, IN APPRECIATION OF E.N. - MARK SOLOTROFF, 2020.

I cannot praise this album enough. This album is absolutely terrifying! The many starts and stops creates this very h settling tension. Each start expands on the stopper idea previously. It’s like the music equivalent of walking through thick fog while passing out multiple times throughout trying to find a place to orientate yourself. There may or may not be something sinister in that fog, but you don’t want to stick around to find out. Bought the vinyl so I summon the fog demons through spe showhornwithteeth
