Appreciated
"Brûle Mon Ame, Broie Mon Corps; Remodèle-Moi A L'image D'un Chien" CD a lot.
Now returned to Tourette's 2009 album
"Jardin Du Sommeil Chant D'Amour Sur La Nuit Grandissante"! CD was pressed 1000 copies and perhaps therefore available easily all over the place. Such an excellent album, what has very distinctive quality to it. I don't know if I ever heard such perfect mix of fast paced harsh noise with eerie or sometimes even sentimental pieces of piano loops and modern classical samples. Most of all, it is noisy and fierce. Not bass-loaded or "crunchy" really. It avoids all the blurry saturation and captures sharp and detailed harsh burts of noise without sounding overtly sterile.
I think I have heard almost everything by Tourette, but back in mid 2000's, it appeared as "just another harsh noise project". CDR's on labels like Audiobot and
Harshnoise.com who put out several dozens of cdr's within very short time. Especially Audiobot probably put out 50 other releases same year as Tourettes 2005 CDR. But while some of the labels he has been part of, have profiled on producing mass quantity of releases (Deadline, Audiobot, Troniks, ..) Tourette itself is almost suspiciously unproductive. Perhaps less than 1 release per year appears. This is what makes it also interesting. If you buy a release, it is different. Of course there is slow shift where you recognize his methods and skills developing, but he make releases that appear to stand not only as individual releases, but also compared to eachother. It is perfectly justified to own and listen every release, while in case of productive noise bands one can often skip "transition" releases and be satisfied with selected few.
Should re-visit also older material. Now just problem remains, that as method to control insanity of magnitude of record collection, I decided to get rid of pretty much all CDR's.. And nearly half of Tourette discography is just that. Perhaps there is hope for more re-issues as 2012 Phage tapes "Brûle Mon Ame, Broie Mon Corps; Remodèle-Moi A L'image D'un Chien" cd kind of was..
