boban+++there're kalahari surfers from south africa, much in the
recommended records vein (in fact they've released some stuff on chris
cutler label).
also way back in the 80's i was in touch with a south african boy called
jay scott that was involved in producing some electronic music there (he
had a cassette label called network 77, a band called sphinx and he also
did a fanzine and stuff).
as far as i can remember, he told me there was a quite lively scene in cape
town.
