Rare C40 cassette by This Window. Released by EE Tapes of Belgium in 1989. Track listings for Extraction, can be found here Discogs…

The tracks on this release merge so individual track timings are difficult to work out. Side A is 19:45 and Side B is 19:40. ‘Extraction’ was recorded for EE-Tapes of Belgium in 1989. Part of this recording was made in a bathroom and features Nicola Mumford (the vocalist of Finish The Story.

Review:

GAJOOB:Unlike Jude the Obscure, which mixes ‘songs’ with its concrete music imagery, Extraction is total imagery. It doesn’t work nearly as well. There are titles for different pieces; but wherever these separate pieces might end and another one begin is unrecognisable. This is ultimately an outstanding sound collage tape, executed with artistry; but the interplay I loved so much on Jude the Obscure is not present here.
SOUND: good to excellent.

The History of This Window

This Window (UK) was formed by Peter Bright around 1985; earlier tape experiments exist from 1979 to 1984. These tape experiments formed the basic philosophy of This Window. The analogue tape machine became the main instrument used to create ‘songs’. This interest in experimentation had been nurtured whilst being a member of the Exeter College of Art and Design bands, T.34 (1978 – 1980) and The Urge (1979). The Urge supported Adam and the Ants and Bauhaus and were offered a record contract with 4AD but decided to split up and consequently didn’t sign. In A Glass Darkly (1981) was a project with the lead singer from The Urge, Russell Young and two ballet dancers who performed to a tape backing track of a dripping tap, only a handful of gigs were played in London. This project ended and Peter later joined Finish The Story (1981 -1986) as guitarist.
