Richard Ramirez

[moozz]

This first 6 showed up at S+W today, also. I went kind of crazy, researching, sampling, etc. Seems that I don't know most names of RR side projects.

I don't think even Richard remembers some of the names. Take the name of a random giallo and there is a big chance that it is a project involving Richard Ramirez.

I Keep My Stuff Inside.

3 tracks / 57+ min.

A re-release of 1996 recordings, plus a live track from 1998.

What a fucking eerie start! Very Dr Who And The Daleks. Distorted / robotic vocal. A strange and lovely swirl of sound. This isn't typical RR. A very dark ambient pace / tone on this first 25min track. I can't really make out what is being said, but I don't think it is "Will that be a medium or a large dipped cone?"

Track 2 continues this Satanic mood / pace. Are we...er...inside now? This might be my new best Halloween album for the kiddies. Even more dark ambience here, punctuated with shards of PE type explosions from time to time. Volume fluctuations add to the suspense. Slower than fog.

Shit gets real at 16min of the second 25min. An eruption of sound, but the mood is sustained. It soon dies back down. Our protagonist is talking again. But we still ain't at DQ.

There's a very wide variety of sounds / effects employed throughout all of this.

Other (minor) eruptions occur before track 2 ends. But the general pace remains glacial.

(I'm actually worried that the bonus live track will spoil this mood.)

This really is a side of RR that I was unaware of! I'm shocked by this. It's terrifying. It's brilliant.

And they DIDN'T fuck it up with track 3. It fits! It serves as a worthy appendix.

Metal Dildo.

1 track / 51+ min.

A 2026 Antihumanism re-release of a 1995 work.

Well, I have the first 6 Antihumanism Ramirez 2026 releases, and I patiently await the next 6. I guess I became a Ramirez fanatic.

I now devote 6 x PMs in a row to this!

(I can't really keep up with the various names, nor fully understand the need to call himself Metal Dildo here. But I digress.)

Fuuuuck! I randomly chose The Motherload first? This longform track is a beast! A beautiful, reverby, late night on a train kinda feel. (I just type what it evokes for me. I'm sure it makes little sense.) 😂

This a dreamy sort of HNW. Soft / velvety edges. Oh Man this is fucking great.

Gradual, subtle changes / layerings.

I keep thinking: "This is originally a cassette. There will be a jarring break halfway, and it will piss me off." But no such interruption occurs! 😂

God, this is such a fantastic, deep, breathtaking sound. I just got lost in it.

An instant fav. Fuckin', top 1% of all the Noise that I own. 😂 My new fav Ramirez disc!??

(I feel truly blessed that I am only one of 70 crazy motherfuckers in the whole world who owns this disc.) 😂

Fuuuck! The other 5 surely cannot compete!?

Very good you enjoy it!
Copies of the 6 new ones are on the way to scream and writhe since Thursday.

We are soon gonna discuss what will be next done, at least now there was talked he'll do new recordings with Sean, junk noise album (he didn't say project name yet)+ BLJ "gauze" t-shirt.

Are copies on the way to Richard as well? Happy to pick them up from either source, but just curious.

If the new recording is a metal junk album with Sean, I would guess Priest is Shit, which is very exciting. Their album last year, Virgin Martyr, was excellent. 

I love that you gave Richard free rein to reissue what he likes. The choices have been extremely good so far.

[Antihumanism]

Yes of course his copies are also on the way. Maybe end next week there..

For the first batch i let him chose completely, for this second batch he had already one in mind (rope cosmetologist, 2 tapes on 1 cd)
and then i send small list where he again chose from.

Indeed that priest in shit album is very good!
