GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: Whitehouse
Last post by k.p.g - April 16, 2026, 04:00:08 PM
Skimming through this thread is a great time capsule into seeing how different periods of a band can connect with different audiences.  Earliest discussion here seems to think that the earliest Whitehouse is pretty bad, that the group didn't find their niche yet.  Here I am now though, and I have the complete opposite thought; earliest stuff is the best, with the total culmination being Twice is Not Enough!!  Those early, cavernous recordings sound like falling into a cave with the lone survivor crying out at the end of it.  Not sure how many people do that now.

And clearly, the digital era had its influence.  It was what started up this thread!  But I find that stuff to be crap.  It's influenced crap that came after.  But no knock on anyone who gets more out of it.  Like I said, it's interesting to see when a group with such a varied catalogue can impact different age groups for different reasons.

From Cargo Records:

"The historic and perhaps infamous Psychopathia Sexualis LP, originally recorded and released on creamy-coloured vinyl in 1982, and for decades a clandestine, highly sought-after collector's item, is now here for the very first time in CD format! Finally!

This brand new Susan Lawly legacy reissue CD version, digitally remastered by Andrew Liles, features a beautiful 12pp booklet packed with photos, technical info, and a biographical text by William Bennett."

Release Date: 29/05/2026

Quote from: prolapsedlielack on April 16, 2026, 11:23:53 AMThis might fall in line more with the death industrial stuff? More rhythmic aspects of Genocide Organ or Grey Wolves, even Agonal Lust used this on occasion.

Yeah, that makes sense. I have to say I know the names but haven't checked out their releases yet. Will have a listen.

I think this is imperative when doing mail order/distro, because without that natural enthusiasm, you probably will not enjoy it and find it to be like tedious "work".

The Don'ts: If you're setting up distro/mail order with the intent to turn a profit you might be disappointed and most likely will find out real quick that in order for mail order to stay in existence, is that it absolutely has to coming from a place of pure passion and in my opinion this is how mail order should be established under those types of terms and conditions. Those seeking to turn mail order into some type of extra income or side hustle of sorts, should view it more so as a hobby. The reward is being able to contribute back to what you enjoy most.

Exactly, I'm gonna set it up because I really love to spread these releases to interested listeners as well as make people discover new different material amongst known names.

I'm curious about the methods in which Noise and other experimental abstract sounds are created by artists and was thinking about analog sequencers and equipment that can send regular or irregular pulses to instruments or effects and how the "constraints" of using a regular or irregular rhythm in the textures can actually result in great material.

Which projects would you recommend and how do these artists use sequencers or related?

Quote from: NocturnalLibrary on April 14, 2026, 08:38:11 PMGreat advice, I'm indeed thinking of perhaps making the mail order focused more on Noise from various countries as well as offering newer, lesser known artist's releases. Different but good material.
Keep some selection from known artists and respected labels along with the lesser known ones. Most sales from the latter stock won't be from people buying bunch of obscure releases at random (that happens occasionally though, and if the person is happy with his purchases, you'll have a steady customer, since he trusts you to come across new and interesting stuff in the future as well), but an item or two purchased along with something by Government Alpha, Con-Dom, Hospital Productions, etc. You'll want your selection to be different enough to be noticed, not so different that it gets you ignored.


That makes sense indeed. It's funny you mention Government Alpha, that is an artist I'd definitely want to stock for sure. I like his releases a lot and he's also amongst the relatively newer Japanese Noise artists.
