GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: Most overkill / unnecessar...

Last post by BatteredStatesofEuphoria - October 27, 2025, 08:05:57 PM

IIRC (its been a while, obviously), the issue with Control Domination was a blemish towards the end of the disc that caused the final few minutes of the last track to glitch or not play entirely. And that last track is awesome, so its understandable why its not pleasing to people.

I think the cause might have been that the way the disc was placed, it ended up being too close to one of the points where the fastening screws were inserted, so the screw ended up scuffing the disk. But it could have been just a manufacturing issue as well. I remember a lot of chatter about it on the Malignant Tumorlist, but I don't think anybody ever definitely answered what happened.

There is a slight blemish on my copy towards the end, and I feel like I did notice at the time that it was close to where one of the screws had been sealed, but again, the decades may be misleading me. I'm lucky, though, in that my copy's always played fine.

To the point of the thread, I think I mentioned it the playlist thread somewhere, but this Broken Diode (pre-Human Larvae project) release, was the most infuriating packaging I've ever encountered: https://www.discogs.com/release/961607-Broken-Diode-Screaming-On-The-Inside

It wasn't even that it was all that unusual in the extreme packaging department (screwing a CD in between two pieces of metal), its that the damn bolt on the screw WOULD...NOT...COME...OFF.

And it never truly did, either.

Over the course of multiple hours and having to deploy several tools, I managed to twist everything enough so that I could pull the CDR out. And that damn bolt is still there taunting me all those years later...

Thankfully, the disc wasn't damaged and its a pretty good slice of noise, but I'd prefer not to have take three week classes at Home Depot to open my music in the future.

GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: Self Abuse and related

Last post by BatteredStatesofEuphoria - October 27, 2025, 07:49:33 PM

Way back in the Before Discogs Time, I don't know how many years I spent ordering from Self Abuse, including some Skin Crime stuff, before I made the connection that Self Abuse and Skin Crime were pretty much one and the same. I don't even remember how it was I found out, but it shows the kind of mystique that a resource like Discogs, for all its uses, took away in some respects. Hell, never having seen a SC live show back then or any of the videos they were on, I had no idea what the guy even looked like until I got the Hospital box! That kind of lack of a cult of personality is certainly something refreshing about a lot of noise artists.

Yeah, there are certainly some cheesy artworks on some releases, especially the Solipsism CDRs (but I think that was deliberate to keep them as low cost as possible), but there's also some pretty classic ones. Eyestrain and Intensive Care would be cliche nowadays, but they were perfect for conveying that vibe and scene of 90s noise. I've always felt the Wired Trap artwork really fit the sound it presented. The original Murder Series issues...nuff said.

Great label and also a great outlet for fine tapes via his mail order list. What you could get for what are now considered bargain basement prices would make your head spin!

You can still find plenty of cheap gems on the Self Abuse site!

Yes indeed! Prices are always good and Patrick's always been great to buy stuff from. Definitely some gems within the distro!

On the other, it has some of the most bizarre and frankly *awful* graphic design I have seen come from a label.  Things like font choices or image quality of cover art have been egregiously offputting. 

Part of the charm of the releases. That goes for "a lot" of the 90's and early 2000's releases from many labels, especially as cd-r's became a more prevalent release form. Plenty of pixelated text/images and egregious color choices to go around. Somewhere a graphic designer is crying into his pajama pants and bunny slippers just thinking about it. But that's the underground.

GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: Neofolk

Last post by HateSermon - October 27, 2025, 04:32:23 PM

Indeed. There were moments/single tracks that were great on the Birch Book albums, but nothing he did before or  after ever came close to the level of Hazel Steps. Those were good times for neofolk in general. Forseti's Windzeit came out just around the same time if memory serves me right.

Didn't realize Windzeit came out the same year. One of my favorite albums of the genre. As far as IGR, I don't think I've listened to much past Hazel Steps but I do like some of the Moonlit Missives he's done.
