According to Dangerous Minds, Cobain composed Montage of Heck around 1988 using a 4-track cassette recorded. The mixtape is a sound collage, and travels to unexpected places using clips culled from obscure sources. Though the 36-minute-long track starts of pleasantly enough, it gets very weird very fast \u2014 there&#8217;s a lengthy segment about three minutes in that&#8217;s mostly a repeated retching sound.<\/p>\n<p>Still, it&#8217;s a worthwhile listen just to gain some insight as to how Cobain thought about sound, and to admire the then-21-year-old&#8217;s impressive music catalog. Dangerous Minds points out that he must&#8217;ve had actual physical copies of everything he samples, as he didn&#8217;t have access to any sort of streaming site in 1988. The reported full list of components used in the making of Montage of Heck is below, according to the blog United Mutations.<\/p>\n<p>Courtesy of United Mutilations, here\u2019s a list of components that Kurt used in making \u201cMontage of Heck.\u201d It\u2019s quite a list:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Men In My Little Girl\u2019s Life\u201d by Mike Douglas<br \/>\n\u201cThe Sounds of Silence\u201d by Simon &#038; Garfunkel<br \/>\n\u201cBeing for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!\u201d by The Beatles<br \/>\n\u201cA Day In The Life\u201d by The Beatles<br \/>\n\u201cEruption\u201d by Van Halen<br \/>\n\u201cHot Pants\u201d by James Brown<br \/>\n\u201cGypsies, Tramps and Thieves\u201d by Cher<br \/>\n\u201cGo Away Little Girl\u201d by Donny Osmond<br \/>\n\u201cRocky Mountain High\u201d by John Denver<br \/>\n\u201cEverybody Loves Somebody\u201d by Dean Martin<br \/>\n\u201cThe Candy Man\u201d by Sammy Davis, Jr.<br \/>\n\u201cIn A Gadda Da Vida\u201d by Iron Butterfly<br \/>\n\u201cWild Thing\u201d by William Shatner<br \/>\n\u201cTaxman\u201d by The Beatles<br \/>\n\u201cI Think I Love You\u201d by The Partridge Family<br \/>\n\u201cAre You a Boy or Are You a Girl?\u201d by The Barbarians<br \/>\n\u201cQueen Of The Reich\u201d by Queensryche<br \/>\n\u201cLast Caress\/Green Hell\u201d covered by Metallica<br \/>\n\u201cWhole Lotta Love\u201d by Led Zeppelin<br \/>\n\u201cGet Down, Make Love\u201d by Queen<br \/>\n\u201cABC\u201d by The Jackson Five<br \/>\n\u201cI Want Your Sex\u201d by George Michael<br \/>\n\u201cRun to the Hills\u201d by Iron Maiden<br \/>\n\u201cEye Of The Chicken\u201d by Butthole Surfers<br \/>\n\u201cDance of the Cobra\u201d by Butthole Surfers<br \/>\n\u201cThe Shah Sleeps in Lee Harvey\u2019s Grave\u201d by Butthole Surfers<br \/>\n\u201cNew Age\u201d by The Velvet Underground<br \/>\n\u201cLove Buzz\u201d by Shocking Blue<br \/>\nOrchestral music from 200 Motels by Frank Zappa<br \/>\n\u201cHelp I\u2019m A Rock\u201d \/ \u201cIt Can\u2019t Happen Here\u201d by Frank Zappa<br \/>\n\u201cCall Any Vegetable\u201d by Frank Zappa<br \/>\n\u201cThe Day We Fall In Love\u201d by The Monkees<br \/>\n\u201cSweet Leaf\u201d by Black Sabbath (intro)<br \/>\nTheme from The Andy Griffith Show<br \/>\nMike Love (of The Beach Boys) talking about \u201cTranscendental Meditation\u201d<br \/>\nExcerpts of Jimi Hendrix speaking at the Monterey Pop Festival<br \/>\nExcerpts of Paul Stanley from KISS\u2019 Alive!<br \/>\nExcerpts of Daniel Johnston screaming about Satan<br \/>\nExcerpts from sound effects records<br \/>\nVarious children\u2019s records (Curious George, Sesame Street, The Flintstones, Star Wars).\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> Der Guardian <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/music\/musicblog\/2014\/nov\/04\/kurt-cobains-montage-of-heck-tape-his-ex-girlfriend-sets-record-straight\">hat die Geschichte hinter dem Tape<\/a>. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The tape itself is a surreal, often psychedelic insight into the mind of the 20-year-old Cobain: cut-ups of 60s, 70s and 80s TV shows interspersed with the sound of the toilet flushing and people vomiting, bits of the Beatles and Led Zeppelin interspersed with troubled Austin singer-songwriter Daniel Johnston screaming about Satan, and white noise so intense that when Simon &#038; Garfunkel&#8217;s Sound Of Silence starts up it comes as physical relief.<\/p>\n<p>There are snippets of a few unreleased Nirvana songs, too, among the tumult and screaming and dead-end repetition, amid the excerpts of William Shatner, The Partridge Family, Queen, Queensryche, Butthole Surfers, James Brown. In many respects, Montage Of Heck echoes and predates turntable culture, the ubiquitous YouTube mash-up and the Beatles&#8216; experimental sound collage Revolution No 9.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Irgendwann 1987-88 hat kein Geringerer als Curt Cobain dieses Mixtape hier aufgenommen und diesem den Namen &#8222;Montage of Heck&#8220; gegeben.
