Only because they're not Nitzer Ebb brand of stupid. Much like everything else 99% of it is shit, or working well within the confines of genre definition and really contributing nothing. Vomito Negro was another that transcended the definition, albums full of songs that sounded nothing alike, using many different vocal styles. Imo the best of the Belgian crop.

[Tommy Carlsson]

Mauthausen Orchestra -- Anal Perversions LP
I compared this to the original Aquilifer Sodality tape release, and the LP sounds great! Why this was limited to 99 copies I can not understand though. Since it sold out in a few hours, any label would be insane not to do a second pressing... love the cover image, btw.

Merzbow -- Kibbutz LP
Uhhh... I hate these covers. White vinyl LP comes in a PVC sleeve with a small paper insert, no inner sleeve. The sides of these PVC sleeves always split open, mine had splits on two sides when I got it in the mail. Hell, I don't even care much for the sounds actually. One of the weaker Merz-recordings in my opinion.

+ the mono versions of Psychedelic Sounds + Easter Everywhere from the 13th Floor Elevators 10CD box.

DES ESSEINTES / MAGMAX s/t LP (Formosan)

Des Esseintes was Magnus Sundström's (The Protagonist) side-project for more "noisy" tracks. Side A holds three tracks and there are quite a few resemblances between the two projects of his - mainly in the kind of pompous overall feel and structure. First tracks is based around a stomping rhythm with orchestral samples and some digital noisy effects. Track three is opens more ambient but evolves into same rhythmic feel but more subdued with quite ok industrial loop. As with The Protagonist, this don't hold my attention for more than a few minutes. It all sounds a bit flat to my ears. I'm sure this would work well in a live situation for the german WGT crowd though...

Magmax then... Koji Tano's "power electronic" project. I have always avoided those releases for some reason? One long tracks starts with short punkrock-sample (wtf?) then the noise kicks in with aeroplane lift-off. Sounds to me like live-recording? This material don't differ much to MSBR in my opinion, multilayered noisy, good flowing electronics with small section of cuts. Also centered around loops that weave into and out of each other, still the material seems pretty freeform and improvised. I must say i'm pretty weak for Koji's style overall and this is no exception but i'm sure there are better works around.

Packaged in screened (I don't really see the relation between the picture and the musical content, but appearently there exists different screenprints), handstamped and then curved metal plate with insert.

Trepaneringsritualen- new 10"

very much into this one right now

[bitewerksMTB]

MAGMAX- I remember having a rel that was a LP & a 7", I think? It was in this crappy box that was paperthin & had staples in the corners. Of course, it was pretty much destroyed in shipping.

Listened to:
RADIOACTIVE VOMIT- Squamish BC Blasphemy-worship metal but considerably more over the top than usual. Also, Squamish is well-known for mountain bike trails with a "very high pucker factor"

one side of WEEDEATER's "Jason... the Dragon" LP- stupid title but very good rel. Really like the banjo songs
