It took me a while to get started. But once first disc was playing, next thing I notice, I'm already at 7th... That's close to 8 hours of Skin Crime, and there's absolute no feeling of there being too much. Each disc so far has very clear own elements. Of course many of them are formerly familiar. Eyestrain, or ultra brutal Whorebutcher, it's very recognizeable. I'm basically 1/3 done, so lets see where it goes....
Compliments for packaging and presentation too.
One thing what makes me curious, around 20 minutes mark on 2nd track of BURN (disc #7), it sounds so clear that should I make this assumption: Aunt Mary piece is used in processed material of Skin Crime. Not credited, perhaps in a way like BLOD or Macronympha or Emil Beaulieau has done. Just using someone's source material to mutilate it to become their own. Aunt Mary has such a distinctive guitar effect and sloppy blast, that while it is certainly buried there in mix, I'm rather sure that it is down there. Anyone else noticed it?
One could always complain why box set. Why so massive box set. Individual discs would most likely get more play than entire set. However, it is fact that if you start to issue series of discs, it works out for perhaps 3... maybe 4. Already 5th will be guaranteed to be on edge where most people will think do they need this many discs. And if yes, do they need it now or sometime later. It's like the jazkamer/jazzkammer monthly series. Fucking brilliant discs, but having discs appear month apart, pretty soon there was merely feeling ... again?!
To have everything in neat box, good sounging, good looking, it is really the best way to put out this scale of body of work.
