V/A: SEXORAMA (ZSF Produkt 1984) 4 x cassette (unfortunately I have only a dubbed copy)

Usually I don't like compilations, but this one is very important for me, and, I guess, very important in history of industrial/PE/noise. It could be reissued on CDs and this is a true mirror of that period. Many not issued (earlier and after that, as I think) tracks and many mysterious (set up ad hoc?) projects. The real bible of noise and tool to dig deeper.

Thanks for the kind words. Title of the tape is "Ligranorex". Recordings will be released on "proper" format soon I hope.

FACTRIX: Scheintot LP (Superior Viaduct)
FACTRIX & MONTE CAZAZZA: California Babylon LP (Subterranean Records)Just got the reissue of Scheintot from Superior Viaduct and had to listen to both records.... When I listen to Factrix I keep questioning why I don't have them on constant rotation. Without any doubt one of the best early industrial bands to emerge from USA. Must say that the future of Superior Viaduct seems very promising. Soon they will release "Music for Sick Queers" by The German Shepherds...

WICKED LADY: The Axeman Cometh 2LP (Guerssen)
Great reissue on Guerssen of their first album. Dark fuzz-drenched psychedelic hardrock.

FUCK OFF... WE MURDER!!! A criminal compilation (Soffitta Macabra)
I haven't listened to this compilation for over a decade, back then it was very inspiring and with no doubt shaped the direction of my activities. Some great contributions from Grey Wolves, Atrax Morgue, Lasse Marhaug, Con-Dom, ExOrder, Robert X-Patriot & Wertham. Sure, some tracks are boring fillers, but that hardly matters. This is a great concept compilation...

a total classic.

It's not so long ago when Statutory Tape (aka RRR) was still selling the american version of this. They still stock some of those multiple tape compilation sets like Rising From The Red Sand 5 tapes, Journey Into Pain 4 tapes, Best of GROSS 4 tapes,...  don't know why not anymore Sexorama.

News from the north:

Jaakko Vanhala - Here Be Lions
Without being biased I will say this is def some of the best noise I've heard in recent years. Again maybe a more electronic approach than Feral Earth, totally over the top, psychedelic bulldozing of the brain, if this was any longer I would have ended up on the floor crying like a little child for Speedy J records.

Definitely a powerful little tape (13 min per side, approx). Mandatory harsh noise!

in mailbox today.....OMG. powerfull. structured. dynamics.

[Nil By Mouth]

I will received all the Vanhala stuff asap, can't wait!

In the meanwhile..
CALIGULA031 slavetrade2000
At the moment, noise album of the year! It's more of a powerful work, the sordidness is really constant and sound variety is solid as the sleazy attitude linked to some events and atmospheres of some parts of italy suburbia. Look the album was recorded on the streets, outside the night clubs, around pimps with golden rolex and old mercedes cars. Its a pure album, I'm honoured to release the upcoming chapter for my label :)

S*CORE / Stefano BIASIN (Afflict Records 1987) cassette

Very good material. Especially side of Stefano BIASIN (I forgot to create about him entry in my book but his activity will be prepared in case of TEATRINO DELLA VOLPE) who did awesome industrial avantgarde of rock music with many samples and various elements of experimental, ritual, ethnic and folk music. Anybody knows something more about BIASIN? I guess that folks from Italy could help me :)

[tiny_tove]

what about him?



Stefano is a top notch guy. I think he was involved in early Italian TOPY, met him only once when we played on the same bill in Pordenone at Congresso POst Industriale. He made a very funny gig wearing a wig with very funny lyrics, totally entertaining.

There are a series of Italian post industrial projects and label that would definitely need a revival, at least for historical reasons.
If anybody is interested I can open a post... We had shitload of excellent/weird projects that didn't sound like anything else. People tend to remember only the harshest ones, but we any sort of weird stuff. From ritual (ain soph!!!), to very complex ones with strong concepts and imagery (officine schwartz, tasaday, CCC CNC NCN -who possibly released the best Italian record of the first wave), FAR (anybody should listen to Presto i topi verranno) and the funny MGZ.

returning to Biasin, I don't have direct contact with him, but I can ask to a common close friend.

[P-K]

FAR (anybody should listen to Presto i topi verranno)

i only have their Passi Uguali lp....really impressive weirdness, bit like Sigillum S but more aggression...need more!

is the rest in the same vein?

[ghoulson]

I think good starting point is to check out the bands on ADN Records... they released many of these bands.
One I rarely see mentioned is Orgasmo Negato / Die Form (not the french), who I think have some ties to Tasaday.

Jaakko Vanhala - Here Be Lions

Somehow I've never noticed his name but just listened to part of that tape & "Feral Earth". Definitely going to have to grab'em soon esp. "F.E."- the metal sounds are perfect.

Very big thanks for that and I would be grateful for more info or direct contact (e-mail) with him. From your mentioned I don't know only CCC CNC NCN project and I must make my collection and knowledge about this act up. I like very much TASADAY, F:A,R, AIN SOPH and many more (f.e Bruno COSSANO, DISUMANA RES or ZONA INDUSTRIALE, to mention only a few less known). And my favourite body art artist FRANKO B. He isn't composer, but his art is something what lights my fire :) Italy is next example how then was the great diversity and richness in industrial music. Every country had its circle with unique music... Today is different period.... but ok, I don't want to grizzle :)

the funny MGZ

Today funny but in 80's was very interesting. I have always considered "Presto i topi verranno" as twin release to some PSYCHIC TV's works, but this one and other ( I have got 2 yet, one Lp and tape) from 80s are very good.

V/A: DRILLING A HOLE THROUGH THE SKY - 30 YEARS OF THE HATERS (Helicopter 2009) CD + book

Today I received it. The great release, with very impressive interview, and many, many other materials. Recordings come from various artists but all creates one and the same style. Thanks Gerald for that. Hats off!
