Forgotten (or never heard) sounds of the 90's

[bogskaggmannen]

I remember a CD I never bought from Roger's/CMI's catalog in 1994, which sparked my interest at the time:
ERDWERK "Grat" on Sparagmos. Anyone heard it? Seems like it is in fact the same group that did "Leben im wartesaal" 7" on Drone a couple of years later - then named DAS ERDWERK.

K.D.N.R. - did CD on Old Europa Café called "Diorda" in metal packaging - comments on that one and/or information on the group appreciated.

BATCHAS - I have LP on Noise Museum which is ok in parts - comments on other recordings?

EXTERIOR MIRROR - any comments appreciated.

CHÖD - ritual/tribal ambient from France. Is it similar to Exotoendo? I remember I had the 7" on Athanor earlier but can't recall the sounds.

I really enjoy the Chod cassette, though my favorite part of it is also included on the V/A Life After Fallout / Odland C-60, which is one of my favorite cassette comps from the decade.  The howling wolves are set perfectly to the tone and atmosphere of the dark ambiance.  That comp brings to mind Advokat Ihrer Hoheit.  I've found they are sorely forgotten.  I have not heard Exotoendo to compare to Chod.

I have three Batchas full-lengths, and I enjoy them all.  The other project, Myiase, was of even more interest.  Their track on the V/A Bunker Archeology CD was very good, as was the rest of that compilation.

TGVT, Tuu, and Hybryds...tribal ambient (maybe more aggressive and dark than ethno-ambient, though Tuu is probably better linked to that grouping).  By morning, I'm sure there will be others...

Exterior Mirror has terribe "90's" computer graphics on cover. To me it sounds kind of routine ambient works of the time. It's not bad, but at this day, wouldn't really advice to hunt it down. I think there was reason why all of those Praxis DR. B.. sub-label label CD's were sold for severe discounts at some time. Possibly Tactical could still have some?  Not bad, just pretty much irrelevant?

KDNR, is something what I listened when it came out. Just few days ago I was going through some CD's and was looking at this title. Recollections are about pretty coarse physically made industrial. I think there was some footage of them on OEC compilation VHS(/DVD's)? Should give it a new spin after all these years, could like it more.

P2
Swedish act who did 'Blunt' LP on The Releasing Eskimo.
http://www.discogs.com/P2-Blunt/release/793083 (there's a copy for sale for just 3 EUROS here)

Ultra-minimal and ultra-heavy bass drones and rumbling. Totally absurd. Recommended, sort of.
A shame the surface noise is so loud on the copy I have in places. What's your copy like? I presumed pressing those frequencies onto standard thickness vinyl was the reason.
Does anybody know anything about them? According to discogs, this was P2's only release and the members have not been involved with any other projects.

Not really true. One of the P2 members was part of the formation of Treriksröset in Umeå maybe TC care to tell more. And, yeah, the pressing is really poor on the LP although I really like it anyway. P2 gave me some recordings for the "second" never released lp but all I could hear was some random cymbals. Everything else was so low frequent that the boom box was listening could pick them up. I'm sure I have that tape somewhere.
