Subj; what/where is CLEM? Does anyone know the correct name and address of an organization called CLEM? Stands for something like 'Canadian League of Electronic Musicians'. Something like that. Any pointers? ,Karl

Always glad to oblige for this stuff. This portion of this posting is from
a little set of articles on cassette culture I posted recently:
_C_L_E_M is the Contact List of Electronic Music. It comes out
twice a year, and is put out by a guy who works in a ski
resort north of Vancouver named Alex Douglas. Alex puts out
a catalog of recordings, publications, and contacts for peo-
ple who do electronic music from all over the world--
literally. It's usually a xerox (the people's publishing)
format, and is a truly dizzying batch of listings. Alex
charges $12 for a year and a half (3 issues), but you can
probably pick up a copy by beating on a local retailer.
Alex's address is: CLEM, P.O. Box 86010, N. Vancouver, Brit-
ish Columbia, Canada, V7L 4J5. This covers everything from
the mainstream to the extreme fringe.
Those of you who actually produce your own recordings may also
want ot inquire into having Alec distribute your work. In addition
to thoughtful reviewing, he also handles a very light amount of
distribution of stuff he likes. He is as scrupulous and personable
about handling stuff as he is about reviewing. In addition, he's got
some strong contacts with a Canadian radio program out of Vancouver
called "Alien Soundtracks"-sort of like the hearts of space without
the sugar coating. Alex can't afford to distribute a *lot* of tapes
(especially with the dollar being what it is), but he does it well.
He handled my first release, and will soon have the rest of the
ARTlevel catalog as soon as I get off my duff and send him the stuff....
Regards,
Greg

It is published on a non-profit basis by Alex Douglas in Canada. It is, just as its name says, a list of contacts for just everything having to do with electronic music. It lists everything from publications (newsletters to major magazines), radio stations that play electronic music, electronic music clubs and organizations, and a list of just about every electronic music artist (independent and those signed with a record label) who have tapes and records for sale and where to get them. In short, it's very comprehensive. CLEM is published about twice a year. The last issue was 81 pages. Subscription rates are as follows (the following rates are copied verbatim from page 6 of the Fall 1984 issue of CLEM): /* Begin Verbatim Copy */ U.S.A.: $12.00 - US funds using a US postal money order $13.00 - US funds using a personal check or bank money order $14.00 - Canadian funds using a bank money order Canada: $12.00 - Use a postal money order or personal check Overseas: $18.00 - Mailed airmail, money in Canadian funds, easiest is a postal money order, if you use a bank money order it MUST be drawn on a Canadian bank. Alex says he will accept your currency equivalent to $18 but make sure to register the letter. ALL money orders and checks should be made out to: "Alex Douglas - CLEM" At the moment the subscription will last for 3 issues of CLEM, this depends on their size. The address to write to is: CLEM Attn: Alex Douglas P.O. Box 86010, N. Vancouver British Columbia, Canada V7L 4J5 /* End Verbatim Copy */ It's probably best to use a postal money order if you're outside Canada as Alex says personal checks can otherwise take 3 weeks to clear. Also Alex says all personal checks must have your name and address imprinted on them, not just written in. As a final note, I think it's a great contact list and well worth the money. Curt Schimmel P.S. Feel free to mail to me if there are any other questions about CLEM.
