rants / spoken word / obscure compilations

[kittymagic]

PROJECT ONE LP Kathy Acker. Over 11 minutes piece is simply spoken word of Empire of the Senseless book of hers recorded in studio in 1986. I knew nothing about her, but when listening this piece few times, I did some search, and the jewish lesbian feminist doesn't seem like that much connected to "noise" or "industrial", but this piece just reeks of emotional damage, bad father relationship, disappointment with male species,....... It's filled with incestuous blowjobs, dreams of fathers coprse,... bleak female voice reading the text, with little passion, but great tone. It's like Lydia Lunch without the nagging tone. It is different, but resembles the topic and approach. Less energy, less repetation. Just fucking perfect.

i just listened to it.... it was dissapointing. since you said 'emotional damage' i was expecting it to have her crying + screaming.
i hate her voice it's too old and mature and smart and does not get me excited.

[FreakAnimalFinland]

Emotional damage, didn't refer to "scrEMO" genre type approach. It was about topics and the way it's dealt.
I think crying and screaming about long written piece would be most of all pretentious. It is old and mature, and writing about things long gone (?), so one shouldn't expect fresh hysteria what comes out of girls mouth when cock is removed from there.

I do like to listen also naggy bitching of Lydia L. Got pretty much all of her stuff I could get my hands on. But I'm pretty sure if someone did the same now in 2011, it just won't work out that well?

that MURDER 2x7" is a neat little thing. pointless, but fun release. the Kenneth Bianchi track is the best.

[HongKongGoolagong]

Saw Lydia Lunch last night doing new semi-improvised spoken word performance with kinda dark ambient style background music on tape and slide show - very intense stuff veering quickly between humour and horror, crescendos of hysteria reached saying she wanted to be fucked right now by returning Gulf war vets who've killed at least six Iraqis!

Got pretty much forced into meeting her by the promoter - call me shy but her reputation is intiimidating - offstage she's one of the friendliest, funniest and warmest people I've met in a long while. And still looking hot at past fifty.

Does Come Organization's Ripper Tape and Dennis Andrew Nilsen – LBC / ITV interviews fall into this category? I've been hunting those down for years and haven't came across any for sale for less than $100.00. Does anyone here own either of these?

[RyanWreck]

+ all the Lebensborn M.O.I. tapes are of high interest to me. Anyone have any of these? Opinions?

[rottingmouth]

I like Bryan Lewis Saunders a lot, very powerful delivery to match the very personal subject matter.  Also he's amassing an increasingly impressive list of collaborators.  His live performances are really not to be missed.  Though his vocal delivery on the albums is intense seeing it live is one of the most gripping things I've witnessed in the past few years.

Don't know if this could be called spoken word but I've always loved the Jonathan Briley "Street Gods/Street Violence" track on God Bless America.

Also the Women of the SS "SS Bitch/SS Orgy" 7".

[RyanWreck]

Also the Women of the SS "SS Bitch/SS Orgy" 7".

What's this like? I didn't know it was a "spoken word".

[rottingmouth]

Also the Women of the SS "SS Bitch/SS Orgy" 7".

What's this like? I didn't know it was a "spoken word".

My favorite material of them personally.  Two tracks using violin and synth as a backing track and vocals in the forefront.  The subject matter is a woman being recruited into the SS and taking part in orgies etc.

Bryan Lewis Saunders

I looked him up after coming across his name in a review of the Extreme Rituals event. Nothing I watched on youtube was very interesting to me. One thing he was ranting about animals feeling pain with every other word being 'shit'. Just seemed silly.

I think I have a dub of Come Org's Ripper tape which is nothing but radio or tv broadcasts about Sutcliffe.

The Murder 2x7" was originally to be only the killers with no background sounds & planned for a LP. I wrote some text for Lance Barton/Alamut but it all changed with Moynihan became involved. The text I did was just facts- he didn't want anything graphic/violent or Peter Sotos-like. I think it was Henry Lee Lucas I wrote something on.

Those Martin Fido tapes look good- there were a couple of true crime papberbacks that came with audio tapes. Seems like it was Shawcross & Lucas. I may still own them. The books are easy to find used but never with the tapes.

I love the Blaster Al Ackerman "I Am Drunk" LP Ehse put out a few years back, gets quite a lot of play

http://www.ehserecords.com/ehse002/

found a really strange LP a few years back titled "Inside SINA" (Society For Indecency to Naked Animals) which is a Hoax LP put out by Alan Abel the goal being a "crusade whose mission was to clothe all naked animals for the sake of decency. It was called S.I.N.A. or The Society for the Indecency to Naked Animals. The campaign slogan was "a nude horse is a rude horse." All pets should wear clothing any pet that stands higher than four inches or taller than six inches"

Personal favorite Bryan Lewis Saunders piece, with John Duncan background music. I remember this making my roommate cry in college when I first watched it.

[Cranial Blast]

I was thinking, should I start topic for WARCOM MEDIA or just continue this?
Well, lets continue this. Maybe Warcom will get its own topic later on.

V/A MEN AMONG MICE CD
Warcom Media 1997, warcd 01

Brilliant. This label was always just... "beyond". Their aesthetic, their choise of artists. There is no other label to do it as they did. I recall there was interview in some issue of Degenerate?!? Well, it's been so many years that I keep forgetting who all have been featured. Anyways, when Warcom decided to stop, he simply sold major part of his own collection as well as got rid of all Warcom material. He announced that what isn't sold before deadline of closing label, rest will simply be thrown away. I bought maybe 20-30 per title, but I regret not buying more. I'm sure that some of the titles were thrown away significant quantities?
But lets get to business.
BOOK AND SWORD, the glory of Sarote Industries new fascist music with pretty dry drum machine beats, polyfonic tones and american national socialist speaches on top. Slow flanger. Some material referred to sound like Joy Division, but not this one.
2nd track is a manifest by JAMES MASON, conducted over the phone from prison. His views are mixture of apocalyptic visions of charles manson mixing with white power movement. Heavily involved in the American Nazi Party and the National Socialist Liberation Front. Eventually, he formed the Univeral Order. His journals were collected and published on Blood Axis'  Storm label as book. 3 and half minutes of speak about values and role of men. Page of booklet includes pencil drawing submitted from Tom Metzger/WAR.
Next hits in CONTROL RESISTANCE. This is different from his perhaps most famous "Germ Warfare" 10" on Power & Steel, which was pure power electronics. This track "Crush/Automated Extermination (Zyklon B Mixture)" could be called some sort of industrial-metal. Its raw and nasty, but think something like Iugula-Thor "wheel of process" with 3rd reich domination with less musical Godflesh with robotic voices.
STREICHER delivers "Hatefuck Bloodoath" which is perhaps typical for his style, but always enjoyable!
Followed by nothing else by CHARLES MANSON with his "Convicts mind" acoustic guitar + vocals performance. Very good actually.
TAN TRICK from sweden is one of rare european contributions of this. Who is this? Simple meditation ambient muzak.
SOUL OF STEEL is project of Robert N. Taylor, also known from Changes. He looks like some sort of wizard in booklet image. Track is all about poetic manifestations, over silent keyboard music.
WARCOM is the owner of Warcom media, obviously. Strange electronic music making very little sense. With gruff vocals.
ROBERT X. PATRIOT is like strange experimental post punk. Drum machine beats, melodies, obscure vocals about upcoming victory. Just totally beyond.
COUP DE GRACE is pre- Blood Axis. Monk choirs, delay dominated drum machine beats and keyboard drones. Clumsy lo-fi old school industrial.
BOOK AND SWORD returns now with more joy division style song about natural selection.
RXP again with something you just need to experience, can't be really described.

Compilation what mixes noise, industrial, folk, spoken word, and various sounds of total bizarro-world. To be experienced. Just compilation unlike anything else!

This is another one of those compilations, which to me feels a bit unsung in my opinion. It's definitely got a diverse sound in regards to all of the different artists and genre style on this comp. It's definitely worth it alone for the Streicher track Hatefuck Bloodoath. In my opinion that is one of the best Streicher tracks in general.
