Hard agree. Was bothering Aaron for years to put that out in some capacity. If I could not convince a friend to go see him live, I would play them this instead to see the magic.

A Thule Society release / reissue -i dont remember which- was planned by Old Captain some years ago. It was written on their site. As well as Blood Ov Thee Christ - On Brad Dod. Seems both are abandoned. I dont think it has to do with the war, dont know, but it was around 2019 [?] .
I had lost an opportunity to buy the BOTC tape at a normal price -dont look Discogs now, what the fuck guys, dont get me started- thinking it will be reissued soon, lets catch 2 Bawler Productions comps instead. Still remember it cause i didnt have another chance since.

I'm on a bit of a Stahlwerk 9 tear today. It holds up surprisingly well.

I'll be there. If anyone wants to meet up for a few pints before the show, send PM.

Quote from: k.p.g on December 14, 2025, 06:35:02 PMAaron Dilloway - Corpse on Horseback (Ergot Records, reissue)
What can you really say that hasn't been said about this one? It's tape work at its finest. The rhythmic work is unmatched. Junk and distortion levels are just sitting right in the mix, never too overbearing. It's the complete picture. Phenomenal.
I've been on a Dilloway trip for the past few weeks it seems like. Absolutely lovely tape shenanigans on both Medicine Stunts and Corpse On Horseback. Wonderfully crafted stuff. Also Freak out your Friends! is an amazing live set. I adore the static worship at the beginning and the playful use of delay and reverb. It feels so alive!
On a side note I have been thoroughly enjoying De sälla jaktmarkerna by Sewer Election + ÅN. There's even some utterly evocative harmonium reminiscent of Nico going on at times. Definitely one of the best albums this year!

Murder Corporation "One life by murder" CD. Excellent, quite atmospheric Italian stuff. Amusing thing in this concept album is that he has been sampling audio from Finnish version of the documentary. Russian serial killer, but suddenly you get the "Rostov on nyt pimeänä, sillä sähköä ei ole" -line coming at the end of track 7! I did send mr. Murder Corpration some VHS tapes back in the day. It is curious times when you would interact with other people in different way. Internet times, one doesn't necessarily need to tell others what you are looking for. Like Slogun interview in Noisextra podcast where he tells about friends hunting & trading serial killer books etc. In sleaze VHS trades, book trades etc, you would get to know quite interesting details of other peoples preferences, that may not be so clear anymore when searching things with privacy of online surfing, as opposed to asking friends and other contacts for stuff.
Deathpile / Whorebutcher CDR. I mentioned many times I have sold quite a lot of CDRs from my collection, but I still got hundreds. Troniks/Pacrec collection alone is massive, but also there are other artists or/and publishers. Like, if this Deathpile title won't be reissued, then I have no chance than keep the CDR. Works fine. Many vote for GR to be his masterpiece, but I think as good as that album is, especially vocals, earlier material had often way better electronics. This split CDR being good example! Sodality cover song is excellent too! When this type of PE started to emerge, it was a bit different from the old school. Now it was HEAVY and thick, with aggro vocals.
Building Of Gel "Red" tape
I may have posted about this Building of Gel tape before, but its on todays playlist so.... One of the 90's Japanese noise names that have been forgotten. I would estimate tape on Freak Animal was the first? Then there was Self Abuse, Less Than Zero and some more. None of these vastly popular, but great stuff. Multiple members, technologically advanced and original sounding stuff.
Government Alpha split with Dogliveroil was reissued, GA side, on the CD box set. Dogliveroil side is just demented UK noise. Weird, "funny", often weirdo stuff, with dosage of harsh noise blast. G.A. Side, harsh noise master class. I simply can't remember when I first got in touch with mr. G.A. I know I head it on Susan Lawly comp. So it was very first GA track he made, but I do have most of early days tapes, had a lot of Xerxes CDR, and feels like man was always there, so no idea when first time in contact. It is Japanese artists I seen most gigs. Definitely. Seen his visual art exhibition in Osaka.
Thule Society "The myth of the twintieth century" tape+zine. I recall there was plan that this would be reissued on CD? It is not power electronics. Not really noise either. More like experimental sound collage and each side ending with electronic signal resemling single sine wave tone. Like test signal. Partially excellent, partially challenging material. I do like idea that it would be reissued, BUT only if it comes in full glory. If artwork compromised, would make no sense. Due 60 min duration, LP makes no sense. CD in similar size booklet would be ideal.

Zines vs. screens!
I assume many here already read Neons zine from Neons Publishing?
Interviews/articles with transgressive topics and vile collages.
Issue #5 was in stock not too long ago.
Website is down when I'm writing this, but check back later?

Lol.
I have a fuckton of CDs, books, and films, and none of it is alphabetical. It's all random. Searching for a particular item then becomes a treasure hunt, and along the way I see things that make me go "Fuck! I forgot all about that one!"
I knew things were getting bad when I began to re-buy something that I forgot that I already had. I worried about my memory / age / braincells when that happened. But this thread reassures me that I am not alone in this regard. 😂

Alphabetically sounds like the way to go. Perhaps there should be a section for weird packaged items to, that can't necessarily sit amongst normal CD cases and tapes cases. I've got a lot weird packaging stuff in collection and I've designated specific boxes for those anomalies, but yeah Discogs can be good and bad I think. I started to catalog my collection late in that game, so it's hard to know what I've missed from the time I started. It's an interesting way to keep track of things you have, but it's not a perfect system either. It's kind of a scattered mess of sorts.

Special packaging can be a dilemma. A few of the things that fit, I'll put on shelves. At least with CDs, though, unless its holding the CD in something equivalent to a spindle, I remove it from the packaging and put it in a blank jewel case so it doesn't get damaged. I try to place all those "special packaging discs" on the shelves at their proper place in my system, but that's where I do have to be careful, especially if there's no real identifying info on the disc itself. Its easy to put them out of place. But again, if everything else is organized, you can track down the "rogue" items fairly easily usually.
The packaging itself I have several storage bins where I've put all that. No real organization or cataloging there. I figure if I ever have to pull any of it out for a sale or whatever, I'll just have to dig a bit. At least I have a general idea of where it is. I never throw anything out, so I know its there.
Yeah, the chronological ordering is certainly not ironclad by any means. I mean, if I've got 8 Merzbow CDs from the 95-97 period, it really doesn't matter if they're all in the exact order they were released. But I know exactly where to go on the shelves to find mid-90s Merzbow CDs with how I've set things up.
