** EDIT: Just noticed that this label owner is discussed in the
"Rip Off Alerts" thread -- probably wouldn't have reposted this announcement if I knew multiple people had issues... **
I saw this announcement on Maniacs Only--some of you may have missed it... I have no way of listening to the sample from where I'm typing this, but it seems to me that reissues of pre-Hunting Lodge cassettes could be interesting... (Anybody on this forum already heard Screw Machine?) There's also a Minoy reissue in the same batch.

GR279: Screw Machine - Early Works Of Skott Rusch 1981-1982 3xcassette boxset
- Screw Machine was the short lived and little-known first project by Skott Rusch, founding member of Port Huron, MI industrial pioneers Hunting Lodge. Three tapes were recorded and distributed very briefly locally and through the mail, sent to popular industrial artists at the time.
In early 1982, Lon Diehl, another local musician interested in challenging and innovative music, heard the tapes, and soon after Hunting Lodge was formed. In the same instance, Screw Machine was terminated.
The cassettes - "Mental Block", "Working With Flesh & Metal", and "Tattooed Fetus" were forgotten as well.
30+ years later, i'm proud to present, in newly remastered form, 3 cassettes of some of the earliest murky, organic, minimal noise recorded in Michigan. Packaged with two booklets featuring original art, liner notes, and more. Quite graphic imagery inspired by SPK, etc.
The historic significance of these tapes cannot be overstated - these recordings helped directly lead to the formation of Hunting Lodge.
All tapes recorded 1:1 in real time. Xerox art and booklets, labeled tapes.
