TNB 'Simphonie In X Major' CD (Menstrual Recordings) originally issued on LP by Hypnagogia in 1991.
SIMPHONIE IN X MAJOR:
'TNB certainly make one hell of a racket. 'Simphonie In X Major' makes Whitehouse sound like minimal art!' Audion
'TNB are in a world of their own and always have been. Ripped out of the grooves and positively bleeding out of the speakers 'Simphonie In X Major' takes Stockhausen's baby and abuses it cruelly. Once the bloody and battered carcass has been discarded the entrails are assembled into something that takes on a life of its own. Sound that has pain scratched into its flesh with nails.' Music From The Empty Quarter
''Simphonie In X Major' uses a sarcastic Dadaist title to conceal an LP of sheer genius filth-noise concoction. A full panoply of sounds: junkyard percussion, revving-engines and industrial power-tools, all providing a sense of unstoppable forward motion. This simphonie is a continual charge forward into the very maw of death.' The Sound Projector
SIMPHONIE IN O MINOR:
''Simphonie In O Minor' is, depending on your point of view, the sound of tape-hiss, an unheard scream in the dark, or the entire history of Noise put through a shredder and reversed back into oblivion.' Idwal Fisher
'Made up from evacuated tape and punctuated by a single sound event, 'Simphonie In O Minor' feels like the sonic equivalent of a deep field shot straight into the abyss.' The Wire
'The resolutely nihilist TNB sign a resolutely blank cassette, Simphonie In O Minor, the pendant to 'Simphonie In X Major,' a composition of tempestuous 'musique concrete.' TNB advocates maximum volume and an inflated equalization of the low and high frequencies for optimum listening. The most knowledgeable ears would appreciate the subtle pitch variation induced by the title: void alteration in minor mode.' Grooving In Silence
