Untitled came in several cover variations, all made by Runar Karlsen.
De pravity (et bein). After being in several experimental Bodø outfits like “ “ Part, Remi Langmo teamed up with Jon Hveding. They had a whole bunch off names on their projects/duos/bands. Most off them is to be found on the Bla bla vol. 1 compilation cassette. One off these projects was De Pravity (et bein). They did a concerts as a trio including Buster from “ “ Part, but on this contribution they was a duo.
After a while with several names they ended up as PLX-15 and were a pre-techno duo (later trio) that released several cassettes and was included on compilations. Got not much attention since they was before their time. They toured a lot but without much success, so they broke up.
Langmo has after PLX-15 broke up, been solo artist under several names, like Remi and Wiipoor Will. He has released cassettes under both those names. Before, at the same time and after DE Pravity (et bein) broke up, he was in bands like The Gate, X-omatic, Manna, Humdinger and H.C. Electronic Orchestra.
Hveding moved to Oslo at the end off PLX-15. There he has been in a lot off bands like Behind Bars, Wantoslam, Bøyen beng, Crossbreed, Drunk a.o. They was all into punk and HC and they has released several albums, except Wantoslam that has tracks on compilations too look back at. Especially Bøyen beng toured a lot, also in Europe. They even had a minor commercial hit with the track “Månebarn”. After moving back to Bodø late in the 90`s he startet postpunk outfit HumdinGer. Later he quit to be a fulltime member off the reggae band Manna, and still is.
Fâlx Çèrebri. For more information visit his MySpace, you find it here.
Famlende forsøk. The band was started early in the 80`s and have since released a lot off cassettes and two LPs. They have also several tracks on compilations. Started as a band heavily influenced by the Industrial Records wave of band from the 70`s, like Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle and others. They soon left the trademark off their origins and have since that, never looked back. FF plays a strange and experimental music somewhere between Faust and Einstürzende neubauten, with a heavy dose Nurse With Wound and has not ever sounded like any off these bands. They sound like FF, that’s it.
Before and at the same time as they was involved in FF they has played in several bands and solo projects. Most off them are on compilations or on their own releases on the bands label Shit Tapes that changed name to Chaos some years ago. Off all this side bands/projects I assume that The Smell Of Incense is the most well known.

Martin Howard Naylor. Could not find much info on Mr. Naylor on the internet. So here is a quote for you written by Dave Henderson in the mid 80`s; “After a brief flirtation with classical music Naylor built his own synth and started experimenting with sound. Setting up his own cassette/video label, Sorcerer Sound Productions (34, Bassingham Road, Wembley, Middx) he developed his own sound system and becoming a member of the London Musicians Collective he began to experiment with eastern instruments. A sample of his work can be heard on the Cause For Concern cassette compilation 'A Sudden Surge Of Power' (see CFC) and information and other tapes can be obtained direct from SSP.” From Dave Henderson’s “Wild Planet” series in Sounds, between 1983 and 1984.
Ny gate. Pop band that came out off the ruins from the punk band The Gate in Bodø early in the 80`s. On vocals they had Peter Pogo and the lyrics were a mix between punkish socialism and pure love songs. Ny gate was a good live band that got out a cassette and then a mini LP before they broke up. They was among the first bands from the punk/post punk area out of North of Norway to tour in Scandinavia. The band moved to Oslo at a late stage off their career, but it didn’t help them. They broke up late 80`s.

Termisk sammenbrudd. Before Ny gate had broke up Peter Pogo had a project called Termisk sammenbrudd. This was a synth outfit that he started as a duo with Kmysle. After their debut concert it has been a solo project. As that he has done a few concerts and made ballet music for a ballet that Amanda Steggell made.

Before he went solo he was living in Narvik, Norway. Here he was involved in several bands. Two off these has gone down in the history of Norwegian music as worth mention. First off all he was in the punk band Kriminel Ungdom. They changed their musically style to postpunk and had several line up changes before they ended up as Krim. U. As this they were on the cassette compilation “Null problem” and became a big underground band. At the same time he played in the progrock influenced band Slakt. They got out an album and then broke up. Since then they have had several reunion concerts.
He moved to Bodø early in the 80`s and went solo. After a break from music he came back as bass player in the postpunk influenced band Den tid…den sorg during the 90`s. Since then he has played in several bands in the more or less postpunk area from HumdinGer to Blaakraft among others.
