FORCE MENTAL rvstd
   
is a facsimile edition of the 16 issues
originally published between 1982 and 2005
of the legendary Force Mental magazine
by Club Moral.
                   
FORCE MENTAL rvstd
was first presented at
CLUB MORAL rvstd

an archival exhibition at
Royal Academy of Fine Arts
in Antwerpen, November 2010.

The Force Mental rvstd facsimile was published on the occasion of Club Moral rvstd. The exhibition Club Moral rvstd was an initiative of the Research Group Archives and Avant-Gardes ArchiVolt in the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerpen, Belgium from 16 to 26 November 2010. Club Moral was founded in 1981 by artists Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven and Danny Devos. In a factory building in Borgerhout (Antwerpen) they organised numerous exhibitions, performances, music concerts, lectures, film shows and theatre plays of Belgian and international artists from 1981 until 1993. From 1982 onwards also the magazine Force Mental was published as an extra platform for their activities and those by allied artists from Belgium and abroad. Force Mental was published in an edition of 500 or exceptionally 750 copies in offset print, the first seven numbers on colour paper, the later editions on white maco paper. The first issue was in A3 format, all the others on A4 format, some issues had special inserts or handmade contributions. In all, 16 issues were published, first bi-monthly, then quarterly and finally irregular; the sixteenth issue was only published 18 years after the fifteenth and could only be read digitally on the internet. Original issues of Force Mental are virtually unfindable nowadays. In this facsimile all issues were reproduced in A4 format and printed in black and white. A first edition of 100 was sold out in less than 10 days, so we decided to do a second printing.

The actual facsimile of Force Mental has 602 pages, although in the reprint of the online 16th issue some online pages required several printed pages. The total volume of FORCE MENTAL rvstd counts 636 pages, including a full index of names of all the contributors.

P-K

recommended, especially the pages about the 'campaign' by Sandy Nys/Hybryds & Alain Neffe against CM LOL

1e run was 20euro's , ha.

trashritual

Can't speak for label involved but 1e was also sold at event without postage and paypal fees correct? Might make up some of the extra cost. I will be attempting to pick up copies for individuals/labels in the USA. Will confirm later.

P-K

1st one was only sold at expo/presentation of the CM-"monument"....but retail is retail no? went from 20 to 30........imho no label involved.

Strömkarlen

Just so I understand what I'm buying. The cover is colour but everything else is black and white? The first issue was tabloid format if I remember correctly. How does that transfer to the A4 format i.e. is it possible to the read the text? I suppose that P-K have a copy and can spill the beans.

P-K

#5
all is reduced to a4, soft cover is colour , pages b&w and grey (pages of first issues are dark grey but fine to read, smaller lettering but fine), clear scans, .....all is translated to english but still feature the original dutch texts too...so most pages carry 2 languages. to make it all fit some artikles are split and marked with "read further page#" to read the rest of it. sounds chaotic & cut/paste but it's easy to read imho.

Strömkarlen

Thanks. Damn, then I have to save my originals... The zine was bilingual back in the day also and it was always a bit chaotic but great.

Strömkarlen

Got it a couple of days ago and my first reaction was. Fuck when I'm going have the time to read this. Strangely enough looking through the book made me realise there is no way in hell I'm parting with the issues that have. It's such a great walk down memory lane and it is also fun to see how Club Moral wanders from art to power electronics. The discussion about nazism with Alain Neffe for instance.

The quality is fine and I think they did a huge job scanning all the issues (accidentally my first book as a publisher arrive just one day after and we also scanned 600 pages of zines for that one so I know what kind of labour lays behind this.)

I was expecting quite a lot, but still blown out by sheer scale of this monster!
If someone is thinking, should I put 50 ppd for this item, I can assure: yes you should!

I was expecting quite a lot, but still blown out by sheer scale of this monster!
If someone is thinking, should I put 50 ppd for this item, I can assure: yes you should!


YES YES YES. this is a monument more than a book.

I got my copy in the mail today. Looks very nice, but I haven't had the chance to listen to any of the five LPs. The DVD is probably the most exciting part of the box for me personally, since I haven't seen any of the videos before. The booklet is basically the same texts about each CM release that have been on the CM Stocklist podcast page online, so nothing new there really.

More comments when I have had time to listen to everything.

So I suppose it should arrive any day now. I'm waiting more for Grim and Laibach boxes.. so it remains to be seen when exactly is moment when you rotate 5 LPs of CM.  Probably half of VOD boxes are not played yet at all anyways. I'd hope less boxes, more individual LP's.

a VOD topic to take this further?   :-)

GRIM box is good! features a lot of stuff not on the german comp cd.....from SPK-blasting to ambient-like almost neo-folk songs....1 lp with tape-material, very good.
Club Moral : went through it fast, pretty impressive if you're into CM, could be me but the vinyl volume seemed low.....had to crank it up a lot.

something VOD should stop doing : "bonus live recordings", usually adds nothing to his boxsets....
