Biography: ZNS TAPES started in early
1987 as a cooperation between Andreas Scholz & Andreaz Vogel. In the following months several projects took place: the first fulltime tapes of SUICIDE COMMANDO, SECRET DISCOVERY and MØHR, also the second compilation tape up 'n' down. During this time A.Scholz more and more stepped out of the labelwork, and ZNS TAPES became the solo-project of A.Vogel. This was late 1988. In the following 5 years ZNS TAPES published 8 more compilation tapes, 15 so-called split tapes [each side of the cassette with another artist], 12 fulltime tapes, 2 special tape boxes with each 3 cassettes in it and one split LP of IGNORE ALIEN ORDERS and MØHR. The main conception behind ZNS TAPES was the non-profit-idea. The cassettes had been sold for a very small price, so that people often bought tapes of unknown bands to get some new and interesting stuff without spending lots of money. In 1993 A.Vogel stopped all the labelwork. Lack of time and more and more own musical avtivities were only few of the reasons. And now, more than 10 years later, we should pay attention to history. All cassettes were mastered again and converted to .mp3-files [often in very poor quality because of the poor quality of the basic-material], and I'm going to publish them here again, but now for free.
