About
Turn Blue is an obscure industrial and experimental music project that emerged during the mid-1980s underground cassette culture. Active primarily between 1985 and 1986, the project released material through independent labels including Dead Blue Productions and IQ Vertrieb, operating within the broader European experimental and noise music networks of that era. Their discography includes the cassettes Tourniquet Blue (1985) and The Pale City (1986), alongside other releases such as Scandal Angle on Dead Happy. The project's aesthetic aligned with the darker strains of industrial music and experimental noise prevalent in underground circles during the mid-1980s, emphasizing the DIY ethos characteristic of cassette-based distribution. While details regarding specific personnel and production methodologies remain limited in archival records, Turn Blue's output reflects the fragmented, exploratory approach typical of independent experimental musicians working outside mainstream industrial institutions. The project remains largely undocumented in conventional music histories but represents an artifact of the period's underground experimental tape scene.
