Quote from: k.p.g on Today at 07:26:27 PMAlfarmania/Proiekt Hat - Distant Space Confined (Hospital Productions)
A long and winding collaborative effort that exists in a very kraut-centric direction with its synth work.  There is a shining black metal moment that wraps you in on Side B.  Slowly you start to listen to it evaporate into the atmosphere of this dirge.  Think the more recent Kristian Olsson to come out on Hospital is more my speed, but this one still made for an entertaining listen.

Aube/The Haters - Splinter Clear Cut/Joyous Smash (Freak Animal)
Solid showing from both parties here!  This is probably my favorite solo Aube material that I have heard to date.  Tracks slowly building to these pulsating rhythms that knock you over the head just long enough to make you miss 'em when they're pulled away from you.  The Haters portion is pretty self-explanatory; lots of glass being smashed in high definition.  When it's on tape, such a sound feels like it could be happening in your kitchen, super domestic.  On a recording like this though, it's fucking HEAVY.  Feels like you are being smashed with a million vases in the middle of a busy parkway lane.  Wow.

Jeph Jerman - Keep the Drum (Concussion Solos) (New Forces, reissue)
It is as percussive (concussive) as the title suggests!  Sounds like he's playing this kit above a mountain.  Maybe he is.  I noticed as the day went on, my listenings went from spacier sounds to this; a record that is as earthy as you can get.  I think it's this drab, cold weather getting to me. 
But back to the actual record itself - I like what Jerman went for here.  I imagine nothing here that is used would resemble a "conventional" drum of sorts, and yet it all sounds like various percussive toys I have see over the years of watching different drummers do their thing.  It's crude, but not overbearing in its harshness.  This "small sounds" concept the artist speaks of works out very well here, as miniscule source makes for BIG SOUNDS.  Excellent material.  File under "domestic noise"

GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: Brighter Death Now / Lille...
Last post by cr - November 11, 2025, 10:45:23 PM
Just copy/paste from BDN Bandcamp, Facebook etc.:


"The 23rd of November is my birthday, and I'm turning 60! And I have a birthday wish...

No, I'm not looking for a ballroom... I am looking for a workshop of the soul. We have a huge woodshed here at the country house that needs to be rebuilt into a proper studio space – and yes, it's even realistic!

This is where the new sonic torment will be forged. The shed needs a floor, a wall, a window, a door, proper insulation, some electric adjustments, a stove for heating, and perhaps most importantly, a way to free up time from my regular work so I can truly immerse myself in creating new, notsowonderful musick.

Now is the time to take BRIGHTER DEATH NOW and COLD MEAT INDUSTRY to another level. I need your help to finance this with me.

I am at a very good creative place in life right now. Last year's tours were great mind openers, and I've realised how important the legacy of CMI and BDN is—not just to me, but also to this worldwide Industrial family we are all part of. I've always been driven by passion, and since moving to the country two years ago with my love and soulmate, Anna Skattung, a new burning spark and the need for a dedicated creative space have grown out of the darkness.

I have a dream: To make this mad world of mine flourish for at least another 30 years.

This isn't just about renovation; it's about securing the future output of the Industrial Underground. You already know the drill: your generosity returns as uncompromising sound. This time is no exception.

Join this essential rebirth. I want you to be a part of it. 🖤🏴"

Reptilian Sexual Predator - Tangipahoa Parish Live CDr (Vulvania Editions, 2013)

An absolutely astounding work from my favorite P.E. band and the last release of theirs for me to finish the discography. Powerful all the way, although with moments of contrast and falls to silence that quickly get interrupted by a wave of hot synthy avalanche of might. Donald Duck vocals of Mr. Gates and Banshee vocals of Mrs. Gates stay undefeated, a great selection of tracks, samples by which one can memorize the diary of Anne Frank in its entirety, sludgy bass and screeching high sounds that blend in exquisitely, as well as some ambient moments that are showcased best in their Death Camp U.S.A. or Anticommunion�/�Nexus. Definitely a contender for the title of their best release.

Audax Italiano - Vivere Contro CDr (Sin Organisation, 2001)

This appears to be the only release of this project, and while it's pretty close to my expectations this could benefit a lot from some vocals or different mixing. Even just sampling speeches / TV commentary / movies etc would make it much more immersive and atmospheric. Without any of the mentioned it's just two-three synth tracks laid together which is not bad at all, but definitely feels like the album's lacking something. Other than that, well composed and together with the presentation stands out from the "typical" P.E. topics.

Peiste - Live Two Thousand And Nine Tape (Violent Revolution International, 2009)

Love this. Quite versatile, very ethereal, very experimental, but side A's a bit quiet on my copy. Reminiscent of 80's industrial, while still utilizing elements rather uncommon in that era (i.e. acoustic strings, field recordings and very soft ambient pads/drones). Intrigued for more of this project.

Quote from: moozz on November 08, 2025, 11:30:31 PMI've been using bandcamp to check out artists/releases for several years but it took me this long to create a page collecting all my material that can be found on bandcamp.

Maybe one day something download-only but now strictly a link collection.

How do you like Bandcamp? I got rid of Soundcloud, it no longer seemed to make any sense with it's subscription fees and what not. I looked into Bandcamp recently to see about an alternative, but it looks like they take 10% of physical media sales, which is kind of crazy!

I am not selling anything on Bandcamp so I did not even read how much they'd take. All those releases link to Bandcamp pages of other labels who will deal with the possible sales commissions.

If I can pitch in I must say I really hate what BC have become - censorship, moving away from their "alternate platform" and selling out completely (twice). They are also in the process of removing Paypal which will only impact the platform negatively (despite their claims to the contrary).

I am looking forward to Subvert though. If all goes well that will be a good alternative I hope.
