The last arrive:

Luc FERRARI - L'oeuvre Electronique (INA-GRM 2009) 10 x CD

Great release. It includes all the best electronique works - many of them are true masterpieces. Added over 100 pages mini-book with many photos, interesting interview, biography and detailed history of every included recording. Must!

I've got a flac rip of this. One day i tried listening to the entire thing all at once. I think i got up to disc 7 before i started completely zoning out and had to put something else on.

Oh, I see. I thought you were talking about something unreleased or upcoming. I'm still searching for that one.

Currently spinning Källarbarnen vinyl. Nothing groundbreaking but still very enjoyable listening experience. Not too fond on drums mixed with industrial electronix but they blend in quite well on this record.

ILDJARN

Now, THIS is black metal. Pure hate and anger, the best black metal band ever.

Corazzata Valdemone / Bagman -  Sex Nazis & Noise Und Roll

[FreakAnimalFinland]

All stuff coming next year re-issued on LP/CD, by bigger european label. It will be good to see self titled re-issued on CD as it has been ridiculously hard to get. I think 750 copies self financed cd (and 2xLP & tape) exists.

Dave Phillips - They Live

Need to get more of his stuff, only have Forest Poetry and Nocturnal Visions. Everything I've heard has been great.

The entire catalog is excellent. The ambient works dont get much attention from me, but I like them as an element in the greater make up of Vidar's work.

[FreakAnimalFinland]

yep.

Look into The Germs to hear one of his influences.

Definitely. Ildjarn - "Strength And Anger" and "Forest Poetry" plus Absurd - "Facta Luquuntur" are the 3 best Black Metal albums ever, in my opinion. Forget Burzum, forget Gorgoroth, forget Darkthrone.

And by Black Metal I don't mean what most people label as the "First Wave of Black Metal", because that is just Thrash. But in that case Bathory's first 3 albums easily take the cake.

NP: Sick Seed - "Elephant Man" - Really good stuff. The first couple of minutes surprised me, I didn't know if I may have mistakenly put in an SSRI tape. But then some heavy bass thunders through and the very obvious vocals from Pekka shout on. This is supposedly a "live recording" but to me it sounds just as good as any of his other LP's in terms of production and sound.

BIZARRE UPROAR "Viha&Kiima" 3xCS. A superior release. Highly recommend the extended tape version.
Cremation Lily - "Votive Mirror". CS. Slow-pacing enigmas.
Various - "WE GAVE THEM THE FUTURE AND THEY WANTED THE PAST". CS. Uncompromising hard cock from Unrest. ONe of the years best compilation tapes so far.

Viimeinen Kolonna - aistien juhlaa

[Mikerdeath]

I really want to write something about Ildjarn but I simply cant put it to words.

Ildjarn is not better than Burzum or Darkthrone musically, or technically, but it really depends on my mood what I want to sit and listen to.
Darkthrone - Rehersal '92 from Darkthrone ‎– A Night Of Unholy Black Metal bootleg is just as good as any music Ildjarn recorded.
Burzum - Filosofem Vidar had full capacity to come close to this record but never actually did.

It is probably for the best that Ildjarn remains an "obscure" name while Darkthrone and Burzum are household pop culture icons, however, after the re-issues on a "big" label Im sure that will not last long. Ildjarn's music is about raw human isolation first and foremost.

The synth works are unmatched for the time period. & The Thou Shalt Suffer & Early Emperor stuff is also deathly real, black, and cold.

Been just cleaning basement and thinking whether I should dump shitloads of Ildjarn covers/inserts - most of all Ildjarn is dead. Got bunch of slightly "scratched" discs (was storaged in spindels and have small dots or such marks). May pack some copies to be sold as "2nd hand items". If someone doesn't have this release, double cd with two old demos (featuring emperor members) and lots of unreleased stuff. Drop me a line and I guess I'm selling those for like 9 euro range (original price 17e). Only faulty is little surface marks in discs..

Ildjarn used to be laughed at and ignored for long time. Even if quite big label (Napalm) did some CD's, they eventually ended up in discount bins everywhere. Thinking this was often sold with fame of Emperor, certainly people who liked Emperor's albums, could have been highly offended why this kind on unsophisticated roughness was sold to them. It took years to CD's finally disappear and I guess also in 2000's "scene" was ready for it.
