Philip Johnson – Radio City [Cass] (1981, HR Cassettes)

 

The absolute epitome of early DIY, 'Radio City' provided a fantastic step by step to guide to non-musicianship for the uninitiated. Releasing around 20 cassettes between 1979 and 1981 alone, Philip Johnson seems to have been forgotten in the most recent wave of interest, but given how his seemingly random soundscapes tended to operate far beyond even the outer limits of experimentation, it's not a surprise.
