Drug Age Tropismo (Joy De Vivre): Still one of my favorite harsh noise projects going.
Caen Waiting Music (Joy De Vivre): Disguised beauty slithers and moans through the fissure. Really taken back by this one. Great stuff.
Wrong Hole Esthetic Savings (Joy De Vivre): Not sure if it's the dubbing, or if it's the intentional sound of Wrong Hole, but whereas I think I recall the other W.H. recordings I've heard being fairly high gain, this is a nice, chunky, deep rumble ala Macro and the like. Perfect (short) length that held me in the throes of ecstasy much more successfully than the recent Kakerlak or Ahlzagailzehguh/EID tapes. I mention these not qualitatively alone, but also because I think they're circling on the same plateau. Good shit, will have to check out some of his other tapes floating about.
Amph Hudson (Joy De Vivre): Catching my attention way more than previous efforts, although still in a very similar style. Droning without being purely monotonous. Slow (exciting!) developments over two ten-minute sides. ...Overall, my favorite stack from Joy De Vivre yet.
Knækkede Stemmer Første Portræt (Et Hult Menneske) (Järtecknet): Even better than I was expecting (and I had high hopes). Oppressive drones via reel-to-reel tape machines, field recordings, synthesizer, percussion, amplified objects and electronics". Never thought much of Alleypisser or Antonin Pagaille, yet this is fantastic.
