THANK YOU. We at Non Toxique Lost began in the early '80s as a German industrial band that had stayed true to the avant-garde / difficult listening propositions to also come through Throbbing Gristle and Dome. While plenty of other industrialists such as Psychic TV and Einsturzende Neubauten honed their craft for occluded electronics with sinister motives into downright catchy tunes, Non Toxique Lost chose a murky collage strategy for metal bashing, undulating electronic arppegiations, and megaphone vocal barking. Wanton was the first album for Non Toxique Lost, recorded between 1982 and 1984 and released a year later on vinyl. There's an aggressive deconstruction of sound within the primitive synth-punk arrangements which get splattered into amassed distortion from guitar freakouts blowing out of way too small amplifiers on top of lumbering electronic loops, all of which get cut up and mangled on tape. One of the early members of Non Toxique Lost was Achim Wollscheid, who had also begun his solo project of DIY musique concrete called S.B.O.T.H.I. before developing his highly conceptual sound art projects throughout the late '90s. It seems that Non Toxique Lost is still around, although Wollscheid left many years ago. Regardless, Wanton is a fascinating document of art-damaged noise from this little known German industrial project.

The rehearsal for this can be heard here - including never before heard songs and different versions of NTL classics. On this recording, NTL are: Sea Wanton, Achim Wollscheid, T.Poem, A. Hettpenger Laaf and C. Reichelt. A mix of harsh sounds and rhythmic tracks. Perfect if you've missed this rare live appearance in Poland..." (announcement + liner notes by W.

A. Wollscheid Guess that NTL was the first (and only) band I played with, that didn't require identification of sorts - neither with a name, nor a principle, Jammin' Unit I think it was the first "electronic" gig of my music career. I was very excited. Normally, as a bass player, I had an easy job, and now side by side with Sea Wanton in front of so many strange people ?! The performance took place in Amsterdam (sponsored by STAALPLAAT, in 1985) This was even my first international stage performance. In any case, it was great! I collected huge amounts of compact cassettes with sounds, quotations and scapes taken from radio and TV, which I pushed through my KORG MS-20 synthesizer. Added some echoes and my personal psychedelic trip was perfect. Together with Sea and H. Wöhler we gave a really wicked performance. Despite the fact that, after the concert, the promoter promised that I, being such a strange German (I'm really half Turkish and half Finnish, hehehe), would guaranteed NEVER take part in any further events. I am quite certain that any future activities wouldn't have been as creative without this experience or that I otherwise wouldn't have developed such a healthy "laissez faire" attitude. Sea Wanton <...lost signals ?> some of them might be relevant others not. Sometimes it might appear quite the contrary depending on certain circumstances. We assume that some people need other stronger and more important information about their being. Some of them are looking for something aren’t they? We are offering an entrance into our world of thinking and freedom. At this moment communication starts. We do not intend to get your affirmation. We take the risk to select strange, weird, unpretty sounds. We refuse to fall back into comfortable indifference so highly rewarded by the industries of culture. The signals are born and pushed into the world of information. Finally you are free to determine the relevance of audiovisual information for your life. Where will the journey go – until the end of the world. Lorenz Lorenz<listen with pain> On Sundays, there were eggs and toast and in the background BrahmsBeethovenBach was playing. At the age of fifteen I was interested in rock music and went to a record shop. I wasn't too hip and bought some Ella Fitzgerald, Cat Stevens and Bob Dylan. Later, having reached Chuck Berry, a classmate mentioned: you should listen to the Clash! Then everything went by fast, haircut, spitting at Blondie, punk manners at that time, hitchhiking to London, getting kicked out of school, making music. With everything which was available, guitars, saxophones, children’s toys. There was the one-two-three punk rock, the dadaistic pop and the row. They called it noise or industrial and it was the last exit. The realm of pains. It cleaned your ears out and drove everything away. Death as freedom. While rhythms and breaks existed in free jazz, everything was mercilessly clustered until a wall was built. A house of noise. Like a shell which is held near the ear, there was everything inside, Zen and the criticism of capitalism, but much more volume than the rush of one's own blood. This was a lot of fun, especially if you did it yourself. But in the end, it got on the audience's nerves. I listened to "Adresse : boese" by "Non Toxique Lost". Thats terrible music, and the worst is the singer. weiter ......... thank you: A. Atonal, A. Ferraris, A. Henschel, A. Hilsberg, A. Laaf, A. Milne, A. Pohle, A. Stibbe, A. Strubel, A. Szepanski, A.
