So TCU is really done? I'd heard elsewhere as well. Wonder what will happen to the long-in-the-works collaboration with
The Body, hope this will be released anyway.

This ranks really high for me too, quite a varied release.

I heard some people say the 7"s of religious fanaticism were underwhelming. I can get what someone means when there is track with traditional synth oscillation and Jonestown samples going on top, hah.. But, despite significant overuse of the Jonestown sample within underground music, it is what it is. Still kind of mindblowing scenario, almost 50 years later. There is more here of course. Anyone who missed the 7"s or who doesn't like format that you need to flip over so frequently, this c. 50 min CD actually reveals how nicely the 7"s fit together and without the flavor of 7" vinyl sound, it is quite different sounding. It is possible that this may be even stronger album that Death Zone, which I liked, but now when you listen 7" material in one bleak session, as opposed to format that kind of requires "hit singles", it really works great on CD. There is not that much of aggressive pieces. Some of that, but more emphasis on bleak and hopeless vibes.
Excellent. Because All Is Suffering is coming my way soon. (As well as The Truth Will Set You Free and Operations With Contempt.) Thanks for this review.
And thanks for this thread. GO is completely new to me! 😳
Operations With Contempt will be an exciting listen the very first time. Definitely the strongest GO stuff in years!

Quote from: FreakAnimalFinland on Today at 10:14:52 AMsome of the recent playlist...
Sick Seed "prison songs" cd, one of the less discussed Finnish albums that could be described as a classic. If just there was more recognition? � Many mention the first album, but I think the two CDs that came out on f&v a bit later or even better. Massive, personal, like a confession from pervert. Zero pretension, just shameless and ugly.
In some ways, many of the sounds in the Lofi aesthetic reminded me of some early The Haters material even if sick seed is very strong orientated. It made me pick up The Haters "Future Cheers" CD reissue from shelves. Really excellent CD I must have written many times so not much to add!
CCCC "Chaos is the cosmos" CD. This CCCC, I certainly have had it since it came out, and I think I had listened other copy for sure, but this one I just opened from shrinkwrap and it was totally blown out how different it is compared to what I remember it to be! There are even spoken word parts by Mayuko. I recall telling people this isn't so great CCCC, but forget about it. It is mandatory!
Borbetomagus s/t from 1982. Not the self titled debute. Painful and ripping. Really good CD. As people probably well know. Despite being made with instruments, one can count this as pretty much pure noise. Been watching the miniDV tapes of the Finnish Borbetomagus gig for months thinking... should I digitize some part of it and upload.. maybe.
IRM "Indications of nigredo. Indicator: 1" 12"
This was previously only 12" vinyl, but now found from the 3xCD set on Old Captain. I am sort of hesitating. I do have item in distro, but do I want to take it to myself if I have both albums it has, plus this material of 12".. and about dozen minutes of bonus material. Triple CD for just bonus stuff... hmmm.. In other hand, its just few mm slice in cd shelves.. Well, listening this 12" now makes me think I will probably take the CD version too.
IRM could be described to be something like Scott Walker slaps high fives with droning euro heavy electronics. It has the arty, acoustic, nightmarish, composed & actual Instrumentation there, and the wailing rather high pitched vocals.. but those are also flanged like power electronics and whole sound has the noisy electronics as well. I wonder if they are preparing something really new, or getting back on stage, as I'd really like to see IRM play again. I guess "Closure" was really a closure?!
Merzbow "pinkream" CD - have had this since the 90's and I doubt I ever heard anyone saying its the best one. Nevertheless 1995, era where synth starts to lurk in more heavy, yet it has the killer early 90's feel too. Starts a bit lame, but gets better and better until you start to wonder... it must be someone's best of Merz list?! Perhaps someone who was exposed to this before hearing some of the undisputed classics. Really good noise CD!
Out of all Linekraft CD's, I would suspect "Delusional Disorder" I listened less than many others. No reason really. Industrial noise, excellent. Rusty, metallic, noisy, yet with definite industrial feel to it. I still can't really get into "keep industrial out of harsh noise" -type of attitude, since I never knew guys who listen THAT industrial. Its all about machines, junkyards of industrial sites etc.. Not really dance beats and PVC pants type of thing. Although, no bad things to say about PVC trousers either. Back in the 90's living in conditions where no luxuries like washing clothes, PVC was good. Just rinse them under water tap, shake a bit and you're good to go. Hah...
After recent IRM 12" post. This CD, Martin Bladh – Study For A Theater Of Cruelty - I didn't have much memories how it sounds, and it was somehow misplaced anyways due it doesn't have spine text and it was in whatever random pile of CD's. Which is the horrible situation I have had for years. Noise CD shelves are full and there are probably more CD's just piled in the floor, scattered around... anyways, fairly simple mostly electronic drone that has acoustic element to it. Non stop 40 minute piece that is actually 5 tracks, but flows without pauses. 2009 on Annihilvs.
Torba "Musica Convenzionale" CD. Which label was working on Torba CD box? Should get their act together and just send it to press, since it feels this has been long to be done and especially over here among many finns, its been on "lets hope someone does anthology of Torba" -discussions for years! Excellent CD. When sound collage art is done by "noise guy" and neat dose of "UG vibe" is there, and noisiness, without lacking any compositional skills and taste of "legit art", hah. 5/5
Couple posts above mr. "K.p.g." make post about underrated Merzbow CD: New Takamagahara. I was instantly thinking: I need to listen to this CD. It's Norwegian release from 1998 and kpg was not kidding when saying it appears to be one of the less mentioned, but insanely good Merz-albums. Psychedelic xxx graphics, colorful, EMS synth driven sound, that has still plenty of massive harsh distortion. Indeed one of the good things about forums is not only new discoveries or someone giving good advice what to try to get, but also to be reminded about things you could pick up from your own shelves and be blown out how it was even better than it felt last time you listened it.
Countless other noise listened recently, but at times felt like my posts are flooding the forum so have been leaving little space for the rest..
Merzbow - Pinkream CD is indeed a great gem within the Merzbow discography. It's certainly one of my favorite Merzbow CDs and I'm also surprised that it doesn't get more mention or recognition. It's right up there with some of his classic 90's stuff. It's like how you mentioned about how it could be someone's most liked Merzbow album before maybe hearing any of the classic stuff first. I can definitely see that notion for sure.

He was for long time 3rd most active poster on the forum... and still is! Most people are far far behind.
He was among first 30 or so posters who joined. When SI started, it was first invite only -basis, so group of invited people started to post things before it was properly announced. It was meant to kind of set the tone of forum, give some sort of guidelines what it is meant for. Curiously, it worked and pretty much none of the flaws that was plaguing forums of the time, never was big problem at SI.
Keith did not use social media at all, so his public activity was mostly posting on forums. He was also active at Troniks/Chronditic forum when it was up and running.
One can find plenty of information about movies, noise, art, and other things from his posts.

Yes! This is certainly one of my honourable mentions! A complete blind-buy for me. Surely she is prominent in the "Women In Noise" thread!?
