PLAYLIST with COMMENTS/REVIEWS

[ConcreteMascara]

Pig Heart Transplant - Hope You Enjoy Heaven CD - utter misanthropic bliss. my friend showed this to me years ago, but I forgot how good it was. glad I picked it up at the Iron Lung show on Friday.

Iron Lung - White Glove Test 2xLP - maybe the best album yet. 1 LP is the regular PV album, the 2nd LP is industrial shit, designed to be played simultaneously. Thankfully the set comes with a download code that includes the two releases merged for you. nice.

Sink - The Holy Testament I LP - my new favorite hangover album

Kommando RJF - Sweet Slow Suicide LP

Anenzephalia - Kaltwelt LP

[bitewerksMTB]

Listened to the free download of the Reverse Baptism "Street Business" but didn't care much for it mainly for the looped electronics, pitched-down vocals, or the yelling gals. Not necessarily bad, just didn't grab my attention much. I kept meaning to order the record b/c people said good things but never got around to it.

The Kommando RJF is pretty good. One of the members sent me a link to listen to then I missed my chance to order the LP from Malignant.

S.O.B. Kaidan - Noise, Violence & Destroy (CD, Alchemy Records, 2007)

Very enjoyable live recording of 2 gigs from 1988 and 1989, respectively. S.O.B. play their fast hardcore and Jojo from Hijokaidan makes guitar noise. It has a great live sound, makes you wish you could've been there. Being roughly 40 minutes, the CD isn't too long either. Kinda sounds like a noisy fast HC gig recording and while it's not the most innovative stuff musically, I enjoyed it a lot for its atmosphere.

SOB Kaidan live videos are much better than the cd! I recommend those.

somewhere after 14 mins.. heh

I've had this on in the car today, I had avoided it until now and was pleasantly surprised. It's not all great but it's certainly better than I had perhaps anticipated. The female vocals are fine when they sound like Philip Best(!) but there are a couple of cringe-inducing moments on the delivery of some lines.

[Tenebracid]

norbert moslang (ex-voice crack) - fuzz_galopp lp (bocian) ____ excellent stuff, something between dark ambient and industrial junk. A better (and darker) record than his previous one on ideologic organ imo.
Ø - olento
lutomysl - decadence

SLEAFORD MODS - Austerity Dogs (Harbinger Sound)

One of this label's very rare ventures outside the area of noise/industrial/experimental - I guess there was a single by my band over ten years ago, and decidedly odd reissues by Pseudo Existors and Slugfuckers too, but not many more things with a regular-ish beat that I can think of. This is an aggressive sounding and very Nottingham bloke rapping and ranting angrily over primitive electro beats and simple melodies sounding thoroughly pissed off with the world and articulating it all with quite amazing wit - you can't read the enclosed lyric sheet very easily, and his delivery is so fast and the verbals so quickfire that it's easy to miss brilliant one-liners. I was left thinking of Shaun Ryder at his best, and Mark E Smith too. My other half REALLY hates this album and went on about how stupid men are after hearing it. That response was interesting.

Waiting for handful of copies to arrive...
I think best FFH I have heard has been collaboration with Prurient. Very limited special packaged tape release that would easily deserve reissued as LP or CD....

The LP is good but not $35-good. That collab, is it "Women of War" or something? I remember asking someone to grab a copy of whatever was done for the No Fun fest but he said it was like $45. If it was reissued, it would lose its kvltneSS.

It's crazy how fast that sold out. Got the email in the morning, went to work, was going to order that afternoon. Gone.

Well, I guess copies went to distributors.. You know, how quick is it to sell ltd 114 copies LP on Hospital?
I got copies now in distro and this LP KILLS. I think worth of 35usd anytime... I think. Black universal sleeve with full color prints glued on front and logo on back, 16 pages booklet with all the lyrics... but what the hell?! I remember I was told that finally with debut LP they will reveal what "FFH" stands for? But nothing mentioned in this LP! Luger gun logo is certainly greater if you know what it stands for!

Alleypisser "Knust" tape
This was meant to be LP on Trash Ritual label, but came out on tape on Posh Isolation. Not bad at all. BUT, I think chronologically older than the other tape what just gave me intense rush on it's exceptional impact. Atmospheric, grim and somewhat minimalistic. Alleypisser is pretty much always good, but I think he improved - so unfortunate that slow labels will fuck up the chronological order...

LR "Bullfighters of Rhonda" tape
Another posh isolation tape, now collecting field recordings, oddities and sonic sketches... And while I often complain how I dislike this direction of bands not focusing on relevant albums, but just throwing together various bits and pieces on short tapes... some do it well. And I must say this LR tape maybe even becomes one of my favorite LR things?!?! Even if it throws in cheap keyboard muzak, all sorts of weird recording bits that probably don't fit to "album"... it become mix of unexpected moves, charming gutter sound, diversity of style and approach... kind of reminding the ideas from golden age of industrial-noise..

Skullflower - Evel Knievel, one of their best 7"s, possibly their most "rocking" material... and they do that well.

I must admit to being quite partial to the new SLEAFORD MODS LP on Harbinger Sound. The delivery of verse is excellent, sucks you in like a vacuum cleaner, the punk driven bass lines over the techno beats makes it quite unique. The fact that there is a group called SLEAFORD MODS is fantastic, and it makes sense that they're on Harbinger Sound. "Austerity Dogs" has been a constant on the turntable for the past month or so, I find myself singing the hooks quite often (but then again I wake up singing "Baby Monkey Riding On A Pig" these days so that doesn't say much) ... A third of the way through 2013 and one of the finest releases so far.

bitewerks may be able to shed some light onto the meaning of FFH. Agree that the LP does kill. "Nevada Lights" is a major highlight for me, as is the intro sample to open the record (anyone know what that is from?).

[bitewerksMTB]

Richard told me what FFH stands for or, at least, what it stood for when "Exterminating Women" was to be the debut. Most of the songs on the LP are really good but a few are sort of just ok but I noticed the tracks are not in the same order as they are on the LP so I need to move them around. 114 copies is just dumb; 1488 would have been MUCH better! I'd pay $25 but not $35, that's just Jewish.

[FreakAnimalFinland]

I know what FFH stands for, but as it is secret, I feel kind of obligated not to reveal it. If it was published information, it would be just good juicy detail. You know, the specific gun and the name - to show how this theme has been slowly building over years.

(but then again I wake up singing "Baby Monkey Riding On A Pig" these days so that doesn't say much)

Ha, I wish this wasn't true for me too!

Today's playlist:
Reverse Baptism - Street Business - gave it a couple more spins in the car, mostly solid though how often I'll go back to it I don't know.
IFOTS - Who Will Wash My Right Hand? - came home to a parcel from Lee, got this on the stereo before I could even get my shoes off and man is this a belter. I've enthused for IFOTS ever since I first heard it and yet again the benchmark for quality in UK power electronics has been set.

FUKTE/VOMIR - split on TOXIC INDUSTRIES (very good and intense, nice shirt as well)
