Actually spent this morning with the rerelease on OEC. Pretty interesting CD. Frantic vocals and minimalist synth in some tracks and synthnoise on others. Sounds a tad more crunchy and distorted than other AM material and some neat parts even venture into broken and crumbling territor, somewhat like some more modern harsh noise.

Indeed a more interesting Atrax Morgue CD. The frantic vocals always seem to be a similar and synonymous type of aesthetic in all of AM releases, but you're correct this perticular release does seem like it treads into what you hear as perhaps a more modern sounding harsh noise style.

How does the vinyl reissue of Negative Frequencies sound compared to the original CDr?

Dont know, but different mediums. - The question should be what's the source. The CDR or re-digitalized master tape ? The fact that vinyl is mono probably means they re-digitalize the master tape, in which case i would say for good, only cause of the better technology we have nowdays, supposing they did their best. With none frequency EQ remastering i hope. Otherwise, even if it is sounds 'better' Corbelli isnt here to approve ...

New reissues on Urashima, great. Mechanic Asphyxia 12", was not sure how necessary one sider vinyl is, but damn, listened it three times instantly and it easily can take more. It is somewhere there between No More and Overcome. It has the ultra minimalist "test tone electronics" and demented vocals close to No More, but occasionally very neat vocal efx in style of Overcome album hit in. Massive delay attacks etc. Good graphics, good packaging, great vinyl cut too!
I don't think I have had this one before, and neither the split with DBL, but Death Orgasm Connector I did have before.

I'd like to track down a CD copy of Death Orgasm Connector. That one has been a bit tricky to locate for a modest price. Urashima has done a stellar job with a lot of the Atrax Morgue reissues though.
