Content Nullity - Scorn of Totality (C16, Audial Decimation Records): layout and red printed cassette look good. As for the music, this is less harsh than the Absolute Dread tape, but sounds absolutely bleak and oppressive! Just listened once yet, but it's recommended.

V/A AMERICANOISE 2xCD

ooohhh my god!!! If I was envious type of character, this could be something I envy, hehe. But luckily I'm simply super glad nice double disc edition, complete with brutal artwork got re-issued this well! If someone doesn't get annihilated by SKIN CRIME, ODE or such, they must be deaf to brutal harsh noise!
Also, not to mention one killer song title by Mother Savage: "I murdered my blonde bitch so she wouldn't fuck my nigger friends (Too many dumb black bitches on the jury mix)"  ahahah!!
1995 american noise crunch. This would work as one major definitive testaments of era. I won't let it bother than there are some stuff which is merely excerpts or edits. Strongly recommended to anyone: For great listening experience and some lessons to be learned for contemporary noise units.

EDIT and here's why. Americanoise presents a certain vision of American noise, not as it is, but as it should be – that is, if your name is Joe Roemer. Thanks to Roemer's rather heavy-handed, crunch-laden, masterwork, the material is less representative of each contributing artist and more representative of what each contributing artist might sound like in Roemer's idealized vision of (North) American noise. Needless to say, you don't need to share that vision to appreciate its visionary aspirations, but Americanoise is very persuasive.

Americanoise has been getting more plays and I really recommend it. Highlights to me appear to be first track of Emil Beaulieau, Skin Crime, One Dark Eye, Daniel Menche, Mother Savage, Death Squad, Macronympha, Limacon, White Rose,.. ehm.. well it seems I listed just about everybody. I like the way how MSNP combined the "plain" harsh noise, but also roughest of the slightly more "PE" approach. Taint is less thick and bass heavy than many noisers, but undisputedly fierce and brutal. Death Squad "porcelain fuck machine" edit ends in middle of vocal part, which makes it quite irritating excerpt - considering how good it was getting.  etc... I'm sure I'll return for more in near days.

mk9 - discography 2cd
huh! It is very good! Death Squad ranks so high in my lists that it was always hard to really decide whether the stripped down version of mostly instrumental electronics gets to same level? It ain't competition, so yes, actually reminder of stuff which is already about 10 years old (time goes FAST!) clears recollections a bit.  It is most often high pitch dominated electronics with quite minimalistic approach. Yet, when really just sitting down, opening your ears, there is more. Almost 80 minutes playing time of first disc flies quick. Previously often 3"CDr, compilation of 7" vinyl formats were so short, it was hard to really sink into mood, yet now things are falling in their places. MK9 can be compared to later days Death Squad, with less samples/vocals.

Such a nice reissue, the Americanoise 2xCD. First Emil Beaulieau track is one of my favorites, any other Emil stuff similar to this one? Never really bothered to check out more stuff from him, and what I've heard haven't been that similar at all.

FreakAnimalFinland

I think "Memories" CD is worth to get if you want to check out this type of blurry and heavily distorted walls, but it has also different stuff.
Although I worship all the Pure/RRR discs. Dedicated to Rupenus, Masami and kill all japanese CD's all essential.

VANHALA / UMPIO / KERÄNEN
semi-live tape of the scandinavian tour last year. It is live recordings, but studio treated to the point at least some artists were cautious to call it "live" anymore. But real question is: is it good? YES! Each artist approaches their noise differently. Vanhala hypertension filter twisting harsh noise, Umpio metal junk crunch, Keränen high speed noise harshness. Good length, good sound. No complaints!

ARV & MILJÖ + LR "Påsk" tape
Hmm... so both bands are very good, yes. But together, based on this recording, dare I say even better? I recall it was A&M using LR sources, therefore LR's structures are removed, yet many of the sounds can be recognized. Especially on b-side you hear the distinctive "shaker" sound he has played live and used on album. Noise is very well build and shows that some of the stuff that could be vaguely categorized under "PE", gets even better when slightly "artsy" approach is applied for composition?

RUDOLF EB ER "meditations with a broomstick" CD
huh... this is one of the most intense starters for album. I'm sure the opening composition would be highly disturbing for anyone who don't know what to expect from R&G mastermind. For those who know his works, this continues the known path. Piano, animal sounds, human voices, weird toys/field recordings/noise, absurd timing & cutting methods. If some contemporary classical composers would have guts to reject majority of normal instruments and find the sounds elsewhere, I'm sure this is something what it could sound like. Too complex and too precise to call it "noise", yet the horror it generates is hardly possible to achieve with music. Essential.

HONOR_IS_KING!

Concrete Mascara - Excess Takes Its Toll
This is my first listening to Concrete Mascara and I have to say I'm enjoying it very much. An eclectic variety of PE tracks, ranging from harsh noise/feedback worship to heavy beat/rhythm based tracks. Vocals jump around at different levels throughout the tracks which I enjoy, always encourages you to listen that much closer!

Everyday Loneliness - Recontextualizations
I am quite close to go out on a limb and say that I may like this project more then Pedestrian Deposit. Excellent, heavy hiss, cassette manipulation bliss. Tape on tapes on tapes. Always a warm glow, with excellent transitions and use of tape loops. I love the sound of a beautiful decay. Apparently this was based off of older material, but sounds completely new to me.

Swarm Survival - Heavy Losses
New No Coast PE act that focuses mainly on high end and feedback worship. The first side actually sounds like a swarm of Locusts. Vocals are maddening and the B side of the tape probably makes this release the loudest cassette that has been put out on Fusty Cunt. Extremely curious and interested in seeing where this guy takes things. No Coast fans take note!

Really looking forward to getting this in hand. If you haven't heard any CM I would definitely suggest you check out the release he did for Untergeschoss.

This morning just listened to half the A-side of "Nyrkki & Kyrpä III" and holy shit, what a great compilation. I don't think anyone really had to push a release from F&V so I'll just give my 2 cents on a few of the better tracks. Some of the artist who I never really cared for stick out on this, and the artist who I do enjoy really stick out. The best tracks so far are SSRI, metal smashing speedy Harsh Noise, Antipakt with a sample/victim tape played out atop overblown distorted wash of basement crunch, Dark Sessions has a great Power Electronics style and I really hope to hear a lot more from him and, surprisingly, Bagman who I am not a huge fan of outside of this track.

PURIENT "Time's Arrow" tape
At first I thought this is the widely trashed new album... but no. That was Bermuda Drain which I have yet to hear. Perhaps thanks to short misunderstanding, thinking this caused all the polemic & dislike, and maybe partially therefore, I didn't find this bad at all. A-side most certainly is just electro music, but that's nothing new to Prurient. Now actually compositions are much better than in many recordings which appeared to be very lazy.
B-side tracks are better. Especially two latter ones belong among the most interesting Prurient tracks since for some time! Making some pretty innovative sound manipulations without forgetting fierce noise elements.

How many electro music releases does Prurient have now?

ConcreteMascara

Depends on how far you want to stretch the term.... but I'd say from Cocaine Death on a lot of Prurient material has been dominated by increasingly melodic synth work.
