VDO "live berlin" 12" pic
At first, my impression was: lets say "collectible", nothing else. And collectible only if you appreciate conceptual noise.
What you have here, is one slightly waving sin-tone type feedback with nothing happening for entire one-sider picture LP. Most interesting part is actually the extensive surface noise of the vinyl cut! If you listen this from file or CD, it would be utterly useless. Vinyl crackles are the unexpected fun part.
But then I realized that this is NOT one sider as I thought it was, but that thing I listened first, was the "empty side" and actual live in Berlin happens on other side, HAHA!
So what is on other side? Suddenly this pic LP transforms from mere collectible of cult band into record worth having and listening to!
Starting with noble solo violin piece with audience noise happening on background. Handclapping and slowly rising sound of marching appears to be not the audience reaction but from performance itself. And in halfway of the set it has escalated into full force percussion unit that's spiced up with sound of... lets say "wreckage". Broken glass and such. It has very much the spirit of old industrial music and fans of old Test Dept or old Militia and such shouldn't be disappointed.

edit:
VDO = Vagina Dentata Organ..

YOU GOTTA BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!!!!!!
I'm getting a copy in a trade b/c I thought it was a recording of the breaking glass/drums, etc.

Ok, nevermind. Read the entire review. Goddamn. I was about to email the guy  I'm getting it from & tell him to forget it.

^Maby I should feel bad but I can't help but laugh. Here's a clip I found from YT.

GENOCIDE ORGAN "archive III" 10" ??For those who missed this 10", I really hope Tesco will someday put all the archive materials on one CD compilation...

Agreed. It seems like there would be enough of a demand to justify doing a compilation CD. I wonder how many they plan on doing? Is it something they're even planning, or are they just grabbing some tracks from the vault once a year so they can have this special item at the show?

Dug out some stuff while waiting for parcels from FA and Mr Bladh. I've had these since their respective release dates, but for some unknown reason I hadn't tried them out before. Feel a bit stupid now...

The Rita/Mania - Split tape on HHR from 2007
The Rita side starts out with a remix of "Domitor Invictus" by Conqueror. Nice wall of heavy rumbling as it turns out. Never been a huge fan o Conqueror, but this really did it for me. The untitled piece after is ok but nothing special. Mania's side on the other hand really blew me away. Very wild, varied and explosive, topped with nice junk smashing.
Jason Crumer - Burning in Hell - LP on HHR & Pas-83 Prod
Why the hell did I leave this one unheard? Knockout violent stuff with bleaker calmer parts here and there. Excellent release. Haven't read much about it here though?!
Mania/Bloomer - Ready to do Damage - Split LP on Gaping Hole
First side is a nice live collab. Bleak uncanny soundscapes occasionally flooded with bursts of junk smashing. Good stuff. The other side with separate pieces is what does it for me though. Mania is excellent here as well, not as hellishly good as the tape above, but still... Bloomer does a good job too with some great low end hell towards the end.

But about the The Rita/Mania-tape, can someone explain the ridiculous prices on Discogs? Sure, it's Discogs... but 25-56 euros?

The actual sales are like:

€15.35 Average

I guess it doesn't cost you anything to ask ridiculous prices for items you are no too eager to get rid of.

IRM: ANTHOLOGY.
2cd in beautiful package gathering a huge pile of unreleased/compilation/split/EP/demo tracks from 1998-2008 on the first disc, and live cuts spanning from 2002-2011 on the second. Only listened to the first disc so far, a nice overview of IRM's history, from the dark electronic beats on the Green Tape demo to their early days as a power trio. Highly enjoyable. We'll see if the live tracks manage to convey the intensity of their performances... Either way, disc 1 clearly manages to portray why IRM is on top of the industrial food chain.

Thomas Köner - Novaya Zemlya (CD, Touch, 2012)

I recently got my first high end audio equipment (it's probably in the lower categories of high end, to be precise) and I could not believe how fantastic this album sounded! It's a wonderful album of deep rumblings and some ambient parts. Maybe it uses actual field recordings from Novaya Zemlya (haven't read the booklet to find out). Pure, calm audio beauty. Listening to it, one can imagine vast snow-covered landscapes with no trace of human activities, or perhaps imagine what tectonic shifts might sound like...
I have to stress that without high end audio equipment this album wouldn't be half as good. I'm certainly glad I could finally afford a decent setup and encourage everyone to invest in one if they can and haven't already done so!
Gotta collect more Köner now...

PARANOID TIME - Pregnant Nun - Tape
SQUAMATA - Cumshot Wounds - Tape
SKIN AREA - Rothko Field - CD
ALTAR OF FLIES / SEWER ELECTION - Split LP

Listening to some old and new favorites. New ones are Skin Area and Paranoid Time. The latest SA surprised me. Didn't know what to expect, but this still surprised me. Great album.
PT tape has been laying around here for years collecting dust, so finally. Great tape. Especially b-side. Full attack on all frequencies.

v/a - Rising From The Red Sand

I was 14 years old when I heard volumes one and two of this, 15 when I ordered the separately released later volumes three to five. One of the greatest unsung documents of the early 80s home taping/industrial/experimental scene there was. Not everything sounds great nowadays but the best of it...Sutcliffe Jugend at their most vicious on Slut Meat, an all time classic NWW track Strange Play of The Mouth, Legendary Pink Dots doing a wild Syd Barrett and TG crossover thing, Conrad Schnitzler, Merzbow and even some Section 25 outtakes. Really brilliant compilations. Thank you again Gary Levermore! Still have the originals.

Domestic Belt Flagellation - Housing Estate Noise #1 - well, field recordings mostly. I think I've read that Andrew wrote how junk noise became new hnw or something like that. Somehow I see that the term field recordings is used more and more, and far too much perhaps. But well...

RVH - Vacuum Valediction - not a bad tape. Though why strange rules does them in such limited quantities, is still a question to me.

Richard Ramirez - Abrupt Decision - Quite average tape of Richard. Not bad, but there were things that irritated me.

Chernobyl Rose - Slavic Water Porn - Very nice murky and filthy record, ending in minutes of moaning.

Sex - Physical Gift - Good harsh noise

Hate Basement + Machismo - This is not a safe place - Hate Basement side is absolutely awesome. Pure angst. Machismo is slightly weaker, but all in all - good.

Deterge - Anacoluthon - interesting tape. but i'll have to relisten to it once more to understand it better.
