History of the (Special Sampler Cassette) Fast Forward In the spring of 1981 O.R.D.U.C. contacted the Australian cassette-magazine Fast Forward. It was agreed that they would release a track from O.R.D.U.C. on one of their next magazines. So O.R.D.U.C. went to record not only that track but also some info-tracks and a second track as well, which formed a kind of sound article, consisting of the next tracks: 1. Intro [1:39]: An introduction to the whole sound-article. It contains general information about the history of O.R.D.U.C. until 1981. The music which runs in the background is the begin from "Backstar" (Guitar Version). 2. Speedy [2:55]: Almost every article has one or two picture’s. This track is a picture in sound, with a lot of guitars. It was released on Fast Foreward 008/009, the “Annual Report”. 3. Interview [5:37]: In the course of 1981 O.R.D.U.C. received a lot questions from several magazines. The most important ones, with the answers to them were recorded as a kind of live interview. The music which runs in the background is "Various Movements" 4. Transistorchild [3:43]: Another musical picture, this one is inspired through a magazine from England, by the same name. 5. Extro [1:37]: The conclusion of this sound article, and the former contact-address from O.R.D.U.C. The music which runs in the background is the end from "Backstar" (Guitar Version). These five tracks were sent Down Under. Since this was a nice way to promote O.R.D.U.C., the tracks were copied on cassette with two additional tracks: 6. Backstar (Sun-side) [4:11]: This track and the next are forward/ reverse/speed-experiments. The Sun-side is the faster edition. 7. Backstar (Moon-side) [8:23]: This Moon-side edition is the slower, ambient version. It brings you to the stars behind the moon. Thus the (Special Sampler Cassette) "Fast Forward" was created. It was released in an edition of five copies as a one-sided cassette and send to some music magazines. MC (28:05), 1981-09, New Bulwark Records & Tapes, 201-8116 Re-releases 1981-12: The track "Speedy" was released on Fast Foreward 008/009, the “Annual Report”. 1982-05: A special remix from the track "Backstar" (Sun-side) was released in 1982 and under the name Enif Omnivorius on the sampler “Colonial Vipers” by Trumpet Tapes. 1984: The tracks "Transistorchild" (Remix) "Backstar" (Guitar-version) were released on O.R.D.U.C.'s first compilation cassette "The Beatear". 2010-11-13: The tracks "Speedy" "Backstar" (Iron Edit) were released on O.R.D.U.C.'s compilation EP "Iron Jubilee" 2014-02-18: The track "Transistor Child" in a edited version was released as a video clip on YouTube. 2014-12-16: The tracks "Transistor Child" (Edit) and "Various Movements" (Part 2) were commissioned early 2014 by New Bulwark, to two cutters, each for an limited edition of ten copies. One for ten flexi's, the other for ten vinyls. The flexi-cutter rejected his work and did cut ten lexans. The other cutter did not do his work.
