Classic archival sound poetry recordings from this Austrian, who has previously appeared on Poesia Sonora and River Run amongst other compilations. 13 Radiophone Texte contains the famous sound poet's BBC radio-play recordings from 1966. 'Das Roecheln der...' is a re-release of a CD/cassette which is out of print for a while, featuring Berlin Radio performances from 1970. Richard Kostelanetz on Jandle: "The most interesting of the [sound poets], in my experience, is Jandl, a Viennese high school teacher of English, who works exclusively in unaided live performance (the pre-WWII way), declaiming published phonetic texts, mostly in German but sometimes in English, which are usually inventive in form and witty in language. In part because of his anti-technological bias, Jandl's work seems to terminate a style, rather than suggest future developments."
