Sewer Goddess/Mourner - In the Cold of the Stabbing Doldrums (10", Apop Records): Short version: I got this for Sewer Goddess, but like Mourner more. Sewer Goddess is their now already well know murky doom metal/industrial filth. The track Slavepiece is also on the live album. It's good, but some of the drum parts sound quite weird. I also miss some shrieking vocals. I wonder whether they will ever record stuff like on the With Dirt You Are One album again, because while this 'new' style is good, that album still has some of my favorite SG material.
As for Mourner: Doom Metal with a very own style, as far as I'm concerned. Don't really know how to describe it more than this, but I really liked it.

Urine Cop - Stay Smoke Stay Stone (C10, Anabolic Dimensions): Harsh noise/noisecore, no guitars. It has drums and vocals, but I only hear them at the end of these 5 or 10 minutes. However, it is one filthy piece of noise. While I'm not much into 'pure' noisecore, this is something I like more. I have the feeling that you have to turn up the volume quite a bit to really get it, though.

Ramleh - Awake! - 8xCD boxset

As soon i grab into my hands this heavy beauty i was sure something monumental has been done. And it is. Deluxe boxset with rich book, poster, pins and signed insert. But talk about content.This true piece of history sounds just AMAZING. Sound-wise remastering work keep the original feeling and tape warm unaltered, letting this incredible collection shine in its brutality. 30 years later and still some of the most violent Power Electronics ever produced.
Favourite part of mine is the Rockwell Hate.

[Human Larvae]

Stab - Non Alliant I+II LP
Pest Demon - Helvetesljuset LP

All three lps are extremely good. I wasn't turned on to the pest-demon initially on hearing the sound samples online, but now that it's spinning, I'm really digging it. Great mix of orchestral und noise. Stab also delivers some really good tracks. Definitely will be giving these more plays this week

THE VACUUM CLEANERS "cactus" 7"
Someone mentioned Bad Vugum on box set topic and happened to also briefly talk with mr. Bad Vugum in friday's noise gig. Decided to give this a spin. When it came out, I considered it to be too playful, too intentionally weirdo. Now, I actually like it much more. It is playful and it is weirdo circus music of some sort, but charming sound quality and clumsiness in fine BV atmosphere!

MALDUR ATAI "alarm valhalla" 7"
hmm... it was few days ago when I decided I should listen some Deutsch Nepal and it was either Tolerance or Erosion which I put on player and my reaction - with probably 8 years since I last heard it - was "is it THIS?!". At best DN is very good, but at worst... hmmm... lets say I won't need to listen those anymore. Couple early albums still capture my attention. What this has to do with Maldur Atai? Well, first of all, DN cd was Autarkeia's re-issue, but also M.A. to me always sounded like highly influenced by DN. And somehow I'm tempted to fart out such a heresy that: I feel like pupils are defeating the master. Colossal synthesizer tones and delay effected voices, choirs, etc. Very simple in essence, but there is enough happening to keep the 7" interesting. Most certainly not noise, but decent clean post-industrial.

as example (not from the 7")

[P-K]

only recently checked Maldur Atai.....pleasant surprise. original : no (imho very early CMI-based, and yes, DN)......but somehow i can listen to MA all day. It works for me.....especially tracks like Trumpets Of Carnage (Verger cd). 7" are ok, but the 10" and cd's are much better.

i mailed MA about the logo but never got a reply:

what's the story ? i like the Mola sp fish :-)

[FreakAnimalFinland]

yeah, 10" is very good. I've posted about it earlier on playlist topic (to be found with search function).

7" has impact on me perhaps mainly since I've been on such massive 7" listening phase. I would guess in few days there must be 20-30 7"s (at this moment Lunar Abuss 7" on Drone rec). Just mentioning some I feel would be interesting to mention. Lots of goodies which could be, but don't want this topic to be "all what I listen daily" type, but pick up something to discuss.

HEADBUTT "Fat Elvis / Lipstick" 7"
Pigboy records
1991 single of Headbutt. One side of pretty solid percussive industrial type of stuff and another side leans more to noiserock of some sort. Pretty good stuff, and even if I have several of their releases, I was never such a big fan. On 7" format it still works very well and presents the style not so common anymore.

DUAL "Drimon" 7"
Dirter
1997 recordings of Dual I don't remember ever hearing before. Or I might have the 7" on Drone records... Online info says: "Dual is the project of Colin Bradley, who challenges conventional concepts and structures of electronic music while experimenting with the electric guitar as the main source of sound. Dual uses improvised material as a source to create multi-layered static ambiance, metronomic scrapes, clicks and pops and mantric tones."
So this is something what Aidan Baker and such probably wish they were? Good solid guitar ambience with still some dirt and resonance, even if obvious usage of digital effects and such. Not sure if he's doing anything anymore. Two 7"s is his entire vinyl output, two tapes, two cd's and then suddenly switching to CDR format where last came 2006...
Title track uses a bit too rhythmic electronic, but b-side is very tasty and minimal.

[FreakAnimalFinland]

Well, had to spin few more goodies while morning coffees....

SPLINTERED "godsend" 7"
Dirter
end of 1992 recordings of Splintered, very good. Droning guitar noises, simple rhythmic guitar patterns, solid drum beat and additional percussion. Noiserock meets Godfleshy' industrial type atmosphere and experimentation. This era of UK "guitar bands" still remains highly interesting for me. With luck, we'll see compilation CD of old Splintered single materials out this year, so those who don't bother to hunt 20 year old 2nd hand vinyls will have cheap option to experience these.

IF, BWANA "Bird Brain" 7"
Klang Galerie
One of those 100 copies singles I recall being quite expensive. Purchased this from other distributor in discount campaign. Two 8 minutes tracks recorded straight to DAT, experimental electronic sounds which certainly has the bird sound wibe in some ways. This artist has been around for ages. Producing dada noise since '84, and I have pretty much never heard anyone to celebrate how good it is, but I'm quite sure he has more listeners than the generic noise acts who receive attention in "scene"? Most certainly this is not for everyone, but I find the weird electronic sounds and thin bird-like rattling very refreshing experience between all sorts of other types of sound that comes from speakers.

VA - Nyrkki ja Kyrpa III - Finally listened to the whole thing and it is a great compilation altogether. My favorite tracks belong to Antipakt, STAB Electronics, Dark Sessions, Lapot and Shift. But really there isn't a single "bad" track on here. Does anyone know who A.B.N.T.R. is? I'm hoping more material comes out from him/them, its really good stuff. And I wonder who or what the "K" is he is "Dedicating" the track to. Unless he just likes the letter in the alphabet...

Pleasure Fluids - Paraesthesia of Sexual Feeling - You can definitely tell this is one of PF's first attempts at recording his Noise/PE. It is pretty standard for its time period and stands a bit back from what PF later came to do. It reminds me somewhat of what Swollen Korps sounds like now but without the experience. Decent but not amazing like "Show No Mercy" or his side project Civilian.

[P-K]

for now i'm only 2 records far in VOD's Clock DVA box.....excellent material. heavy 1979 Cabaret Voltaire vibe.

[bitewerksMTB]

I think I sold it but use to have the LP by Splintered & still have their 7" on Shock Rec's. They did a pretty good song on a comp cd but I can't remmeber title of the comp or the label (maybe Shock?). That guy also did a huge zine but, again, I can't remember the title.

I haven't listened to anything in a couple of weeks...
