As I type I'm having my very first Circle Of Shit experience, in the form of True Love Electronics.

What a ride! Lovely solo piano to harsh-ass screech within a split second.

A lot happens in this 44min. Quite a varied palette. Quiet, loud, slow, fast, sparse, dense.

And yet it flows! I think.

The ending is epic. Am I hearing Monteverdi here? 😂 A wonderful close.

Circle Of Shit, you have my attention!

And I think this guy is very thorough and convincing:

There's quite a bit I disagree with there. That's fine. Everybody's going to have a different list.

But how can you do a ranking of GO's major releases and not include Remember?!!

Maybe you'd put it near the bottom. Ok. But you really can't do any survey of the group's history without it being somewhere.

Is Remember a comp? Dude said no comps. 🤷🏼�♂️

I hear at least 700 tickets sold in advance, so at least that. The venue is sold out at 900, not sure if it was.

I heard there were around 800 people in Stockholm the other night. Granted this was a sort of mini festival with other experimental and bm acts on the bill, but still very impressive. Didn't go this time though to see my old flatmate - Masami and Reiko stayed at my place back in 97...

New Ambient Noise Wall single.
The second part of the series dedicated to black cats.
Cover art is a photo taken by my gf (just like in the first part).
Hope you'll enjoy it!

Tesco announced: THE GREY WOLVES "DIVISION" CD. Now it will be packaged like the recent reissues have been. CD between couple cards. It may be even better, since I didn't care much for the clamshell box packaging it originally had.

I only have the cheap CD-R re-release they made years ago, so I could consider purchasing a re-release on pro CD, even though this release in a plastic bag plus cards instead of a proper jewel case with a real booklet doesn't really appeal me. But I see it's already on Discogs, but not on the Tesco Website, weird.

GREY WOLVES – "EXIT WOUNDS" – CD
Damn! Even if this is a compilation, and not even "best of", but sort of underlines how GW has the atmosphere, the feeling, that it doesn't have to have the best tracks known as their iconic live hits, but really that other stuff. Simple, often lo-fi industrial-noise, rawness, suffocating, alienating sound, just really good CD that I listened yesterday... 4 times. Basically didn't get to listen much else, that twice G.O. 7" comp CD and rest of the day spending with GW! Feel tempted to listen more today.
It would be curious to think is it somehow more personal history, that sets GW so so high position, and would the guy who now gets to hear it, wonder why he'd need to worship this crude hissing drum machine beat going on? hah.
Despite packaging is just two postcard type pieces and CD in plain paper sleeve between them, graphics are good and sharp! Cover states "CULTURAL TERRORISM ENDS HERE!" and despite all rumors about GW reissue things, could this be the end for reissues? Hope not..

You sold me!

So Exit Strategy was the last recording, and here we have the Exit Wounds comp. How fitting.

I seem to be on a Grey Wolves hunt / exploration now. The initial post for this thread is great, and I'm going to do much more digging here.

Division seems to be...er...divisive, amongst Grey Wolves fans. Was it the times? Nobody wanted bad mp3 samples in 2003?

Well, fuckit. Let's go back to 1999 now...

The Truth Will Make You Free.

Were these 10 tracks just denoted as Side A and Side B initially?

I was immediately sucked into this with the hypnotic opening track.

I'm not feeling a huge departure from 2020s GO, and this is certainly not a complaint! Vocal samples are more loopy / repetitive here, perhaps. There is a rather brooding atmosphere throughout. I chose well for Sunday morning. 😂

This 46min just flew by. Again, I simply love the production / flow. I'm hooked.
