Pagan Amen- to my knowledge was active ( i assume) in Chicago during the mid-late 80's. It consisted of two members: Ziva Tara and Danger Joe. They released two tapes i know of : "Brainstemstrangleholddeathgrip" (see pics below) (1987) and "Fifth Circuit "(1987) . The music is very basic sound collage/ ultra primitive 4-track experiments : Casio Sk-1 loops/ keyboard noodling, tape loops and such. The " Live" side on S-B of the 'Brain...'tape is noise generator sounds & junkyard percussion; one long track - very low fi . It doesn't say where it was recorded though. i bought this tape at Pravda records (next to the Metro) i forgot which side it was on back in '89 i think . i still have the $3.99 sticker on it. When i brought it up to the counter the clerk had no idea who it was . I just remember some dj playing some of PA on WZRD I told him . Just by happenstance i saw it in the store that day when browsing. I was collecting all the weird stuff i could find in local shops back then that i heard on college radio.
