I never quite got the Space Machine enthusiasm, but I admit it must be most of all my own taste that while I like synth sound, most of recordings of synths barely do it for me. Synth as means to create concrete ideas and process sounds and use along other things, great, but when listening to "sound of synth", that appears in form that could be done by anyone with same synth feels less interesting.
However, Space Machine certainly sounds different from old krautrock or vintage psychedelia and academic university music. There is often that "noise vibe" to it. Just quickly bursting out weird noises and operating seemingly randomly.
STABAT MORS is one of the names I did grab things I could when project was active. Didn't get all, since there were also items one had no idea back in 90's or early 00's. For long time meant to do a inventory what all I actually have, but I also know the ones I do not, are very hard to find or cost a lot.
German broken noise, with a bit strange visual presentation. There is strong hand made feel in sound. Part of releases on very DIY oriented labels. Several CDR's. It is hard to put on words what exactly makes Stabat Mors so good and stand out, there is something in it. Plus, I am sure that these days thete would be a lot more people into sound like this than were in late 90's and early 00s! Got to go through the CDRs I have, as they are still working just fine! "Die vier schla(e)chtungen" vol 1 and 2 now on playlist!
I am pretty sure I won't be getting Stabat Mors & Maria Zerfall collaboration LP (edition of 100) and there will be always guys who will pay way more than I would feel like doing. It is useless to compare this to Space Machine recordings, but Stabat Mors indeed has this quality of being almost zero "equipment", all about... something else!
