Favorite Macronympha records?

[Cranial Blast]

Just received my copy of the 3 CD Whorecestra reissue (Dada/MSNP) and it looks amazing. Good design and layout with the packaging and includes a couple extra goodies. Recommended.

This one is an absolute stunner. Both the package and the actual content.

Indeed it is! I was amazed by the quality of it too and thrilled Dada Drumming had put this out! It definitely needed a definitive CD version like this.

I found a copy of Oxidation the other day on CD. I've got the tape and that's another one that I've enjoyed a lot. I'm glad I'll have it on CD now.

Super Oxide*

Has there been any comments from Rodger regarding their break-up during the years? All I have heard or read have just been Joe bashing him. For example the use of KKK images was Rodger's idea that Joe later disaproved. Even though would Pittsburgh PA be as memorable without that lynching picture/huge poster?

Yeah he seems to have a real grumpy gripe about Rodger and it's kind of funny on the WCN podcast. I heard Rodger watches FOX news!! He exclaims, haha. Yeah he does go on in that interview about how it was all Rodgers sick ideas with the KKK images and nazi images. You're right about that to in regards to Pittsburgh PA. Also other great memorable images when it comes to that stuff to. I like the tape cover that has the cool nazisplotation cover with the mad nazi doctor sawing off women's leg...or maybe it was her arm. That's a great cover image for that tape.

I didn't even know it was reissued with a different cover, for me it will always be that black cover with the title in white. So yeah, I'd say it was already memorable before it was released with a new cover.

The front cover of LP and Trash Ritual CD has been just black with white font. The poster and inside of the CD tray contains that image. Discogs also lists one tape reissue with the hanging photo as front cover.

It's funny when Joe explained that the concept is about frustration for the low lives of Pittsburgh who do nothing with their lives but get drunk and beat their wives, and not about promoting racial hatred. When you look at the track list, there might be a chance of misinterpretation:

Critical Determination Of Genetic Malfunction In Three Racial Groups   
A1 Negro
A2 Hispanic
A3 Semite (Arab And Jew)

Slave Labour 4xCD box from Dada Drumming is amazing. Sturdy cardboard box with images actually printed on it. Booklet, poster, panties, neat digipak for cds. There's enough variation in material that it's easy to go through the whole thing.

My boxes have been bending at the hands of customs for long time, but should be now at the pick up point in Lahti and will finally get them on Friday.. Been waiting for this!

Indeed it is my friend! Very, very nice package! I'm very happy about this set and Dada Drumming put together very nicely for sure! I also agree there is an abundance of material, but you can navigate it all pretty easily.

Everything about the Slave Labour box is top class. The material sounds amazing which is the most important part, but the packaging is out of this world. The printing of the booklet, the poster, the postcards...

Also noticed from other photos that the panties included are different for each person I believe. Wonder how Greg did his lady garment shopping haha.

Side note: The self-titled Slave Labour tape that Rodger put out in 2012 seems to be the Vol. I material. Didn't put that together until matching up the track times. The track times are ever so slightly different which could just be human error or maybe the material on Rodger's tape contains slightly different edits.

I will have to do a side-by-side comparison someday or email Rodger to find out.

Probably just cause of decks involved run at slightly different speed.

That was just one thing that makes me skeptical of Joe's "arguments" in the whole thing. As if he had no input whatsoever and couldn't have asked for a change in the general presentation of Macro's releases if he had a problem  with it? Was Rodger holding him hostage in the basement in Monroeville with a sharp piece of metal junk? "Hey jagoff, we go with the KKK hanging or yinz are going to get it!"

As said, it just makes Joe come off like a bitter old man lashing out at anything, apparently trying to get everything staged for the debut episode of "VH1 Behind the Noise: Macronympha!" Stella almost looks better just for staying silent with whatever gripes (if any) he may have. No idea what happened between the two of them, nor do I care all that much. But it is a shame. For a time in the 90s, those two (and Oliviera) made magic.

Is there anything worth getting in the sea of bazillion releases of "new" Macronympha since the mid-aughts? The few things I've heard didn't impress me much, but there is a lot.

I could recommend "666/Electrostatic Sinecure". Looks to be the classic lineup, but it was released in 2016. A-side is pretty interesting stuff, sort of like Macro doing Abruptum/Gonkulator while still staying entirely in the realm of noise. Went well with the Rehtaf Ruo CD I listened to afterwards, anyway. B-side is a little more "typical" material, nothing remarkable or remarkably shitty in the context of their discography.
