I just got Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and it's fucking amazing. What else should I get?
Intensive Care, is what I'm listening to right now. I would heartily recommend it to you.
Good Luck finding Super Oxide!
This and Intensive Care are perfect for starting!
Baroque, Crack and Grind
My bad, just saw the "cd" part. Interzone 3 is out on industrial recollections and is an excellent collab between Macronympha, sudden infant and grey wolves. I recently got the Bulk Density 2x cdr and its very good somewhat early HNW style.
I would suggest to get all the Industial Recollections CDs - Amplified Humans, Baroque, Notes from Underground, the already mentioned Interzone 3, and also Mother Savage 'Kryptopyrrole' CD. You can't go wrong with them. 'Studio 95' on Triangle is a great CD as well.
And then buy yourself a tape player ;-)
To me, Amplified Humans, Baroque, Notes from Underground mark sort of best moments of Macronympha - but each different from rest. I was not responsible of choosing these reissues. Band members made the choice and I was happy to do each one. I would say that Amplified Humans and Baroque beats even their "meant to be albums" such as Intensive Care or Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Both of those, great without doubt. But just blast something like Baroque from CD and I'd be surprised if that's not THE highlight of group.
Due massive scale of their output, there still remains some stuff I have never heard. There are a lot of good tapes what would benefit to be reissued. Too bad the MSNP 10xCD box set anthology never seems to happen. Whether Trash Ritual awakes at some point, who knows...
From Macronympha related, Rodger Stella's ONE DARK EYE has at least two great reissues CD's. "Transmissions of fistulae aeuris" cd on industrial recollections is good - no doubt, but holy shit how amazing is "Manic Depression" CD on Dan Johansson's Ljud & Bild label which seems to exist no more. 300 was made of that CD, so there is copies still in circulation, but who knows how long? I'd advice people to grab it even if One Dark Eye might have never been as "big" name as Macro. This project clearly displays the importance of editing & mastering skills of Stella.
