Relistening some stuff I already owned for a while:
Bereft - Chlanna Nan Con Thigibh Aso's Gheibh Sibh Feoil (C20, Destructive Industries): very good industrial/power electronics. I remember that the first time I heard it, I didn't really like it, because little seems to happen. Which is true in a way, but not fair, while it is very repetitive, the tracks build up and become more intense, which is simply great.
Abnegate - Vassalage (C20, Danvers State Recordings): power electronics with female vocals. I really like these vocals and the noise itself is well done as well, filthy stuff. Anyone knows whether there's any more coming from this project?
Slaughter-Fetus - Exterminate All Life (C25, Danvers State Recordings): Wall Noise, a subgenre of which I don't know too much, but this tape is very good. There are parts in which there's not much happening, but I really like the sound of the distortion, sounds dirty, intertwined with parts where more is happening: feedback, samples of some news report and some old-sounding comedy show...
And new stuff:
White Heterosexuals - My Thesis/My Dissertation (7", Breathing Problem Productions) & I Left My Rape Kit In San Francisco (7", Breathing Problem Productions/Limbless Records): Heard their track on the Total Gape comp and I liked it. I also quite like their sense of humor in their titles. So, the music on these two 7"s is mostly some industrial noise, often rather minimal, with little distortion. Not exactly what I expected, but mostly quite enjoyable, however the vocals, which happily are rather sparse, are rather annoying... If I'm not mistaken they remind me a bit of the "Hey James" track from Discordance on the Phage Tapes 6xC10 box. While there's something sick in this kind of vocals, it seems a bit forced and over the top, which makes it less interesting. So, overall not bad, but could have been better with better vocals.
