Merzbow - Sporangium (CD, OEC)

2025 recording in three lengthy tracks that starts off with some drone-synth kind of vibe, after a while Masami starts his trademark noisemaking and layers it on top. Second track is nothing out of the ordinary, but the third track is awful. Digital processed "cute melodies" in the background over some digital FX-processed noise. I can“t shake the feeling that some parts of this is not made by Merzbow, but rather made by AI. It just might be that the dreadful AI doodle that makes up the artwork makes me think this, but there is something about the digital processing of the sounds that sounds "not Merzbow" or human. All in all, disappointed.


So back to the classics; spent the week revisiting two of the best albums ever made in great re-issues:

SPK - Information overload unit (CD, OEC)

Total classic. Released in 1981 this is almost a perfect album, however I always thought that the first three tracks are a bit boring. But all is forgiven when Berufsverbot kicks in. Great reissue with booklet containing some info about how it was recorded. Mandatory.

SPK - Leichenschrei (CD, OEC)

And here it is - the defining moment of industrial music IMHO. All the ingredients are here for what later became a genre. Flawless album that still today sends shivers down my spine. It has aged like a fine wine. Even more mandatory.

Quote from: prelapsus on Today at 02:02:22 AMA recent favourite of mine is the Suspect Unknown LP on Fusty. Super aggressive and the sample selection is great. Highly recommended. It's nothing original but very well executed.

loved this one. eager for what SU has in store next. he scratches the Slogun style itch perfectly and at one point I think a rumor was circulating that it was John B. under a new name? to me that's a testament to his work
