Raw Culture remaster works of 80s Italian postrock-industrial group Tasaday

The group drew inspiration in name from a 1971 media story that reported on a tribe in the Philippines who apparently had technology that had stood still in the Stone Age. Using various DIY tools and blending these with traditional instruments, the band’s sound was a distorted buzz of industrial sounds, post-rock sensibilities and forward-thinking spoken word and vocals.

The label share a quotation from Marcello Ambrosini, author of Post-Industriale, a book documenting this music movement in Italy during the 80s, which comments on the band: “the Tasadays find in Die Form the controlled destruction of the form after its careful design and construction, while in Nulla Iperreale the spontaneity free from any possible superstructure. They declare themselves new primitives, not in the perspective of a nostalgic return to a pre-industrial or prehistoric external world, but in the exception of an inner experience in stark contrast to the leviathan of the single utilitarian thought that has dominated the West for centuries.”

The coming together of members of Die Form and Orgasmo Negato, Tasaday formed in 1982 in Brianza, Italy. They were active until the 90s, in which time they shared three LPs, a CD, a countless number of cassettes and performed many live shows and radio transmissions.
