PLAYLIST with COMMENTS/REVIEWS

Libertinage "Quick Cum" C??
  I like this but it doesn't hold up to most Mania or Taint. I really like the approach of feedback on this one, nice frequencies, nice little warps and twists. I guess if you are really into the piercing high end like I am then this would be unavoidable.

Total old-school vibe on this tape, Male Rape Group, Lyoto Music, early Sutcliffe and New Sadism can all be heard on this one tape. It's seriously some of his best material in my opinion and I wish he would have made that project last a little longer.

Deterge/Skin Graft split LP- SG side is excellant so def need to check more of his work out. Deterge is good but I like his work with heavily processed vocals much more. I received the 'bandage' version which is nothing but a sleeve wrapped in duct tape. Nice inserts but wish something more had been done to the sleeve.

Con-Dom "acts of faith" 3" cd- yesterday was the day that Marc Lepine shot a bunch of fucking feminists in Montreal Canada

Skin Graft is an amazing scum industrial project that never disappoints....

Ashra / Ash Ra Tempel - Angers - Cinema l`Elysee 18.11.1977

Someone at the Dime tracker broke out some rare recordings.  I was always a fan, but the more I hear, the more I am.  One of the bands that would make a time machine list.  I bet that '74 Paris show above was incredible, because the music sure is.

SUTCLIFFE JUGEND "Studio action 1" (VHS) - The first studio sessions. 43 minutes!  Great classic! It would be the better if there wasn't use colour effects. Not perfect quality but enough to enjoy of this movie.

Is this the entire ULTRA II tape (wdc886002) or just that section? I want those so fucking bad.

Is there a COME ORG thread somewhere? I swore there was but I can't find it using the search function. Damn.

The Splinter Orchestra's self titled album has been on repeat around here.



Orchestra improvisation. A bit more info here.

I have only the section, unfortunately.

Roly Porter - Aftertime CD - I don't know how I missed the boat on this year but wow. Neo-classical meets glitch meets harsh noise. The album benefits hugely by having actual recorded instruments, not just software strings. And also all the track titles are planets from the Dune universe, which is just going to make anything better. Even at its harshest it's quite beautiful. Reminds me a lot of Kevin Drumm and Russell Haswell at times.

Emptyset - Demiurge CD - same label and similar style as Roly Porter, but no neo-classical element. It's as if Alva Noto had a child with Converter. Very digital, very crisp and brutal speaker work out.

and I've been listening to IFOTS - Tears Royal LP again lately. Listening to my favorite noise and related releases this year trying to come up with some kind of top ten. Hearing this LP again, I'm reminded of how much I enjoyed it the first few spins I gave it on my turntable. Definitely my favorite power electronics release of the year.

GX Jupitter-Larsen ‎– Big Time Crash Bang 2008 lp
Absolutely fucking GREAT.

DDT Jazz Band - Original Heidelberg Blues/Sipulit 7"
A side is simple piano blues backed with sounds of printing press, works as a curiosity. B side is nice dixieland jazz. 1970 and co-released by Painomestarit Oy and Love Records.

FORZA  ALBINO infestation LP-  it's excellant! cover art reminds me of Come Org & the minimal synth with metal percussion brings Club Moral to mind but doesn't sound like C.M. Excellant vocals and lyrics. S2 is the best with the simple synth sounds building up. RECOMMENDED.

yesterday, listened to TxRxPx 10" & one side of Poison Idea's "Fatal Erection" LP & Nifelheim "Envoy of Lucifer" LP the night before

DEVIATED SISTER TV

"Bestiae"
(Santos production, 2012, CS)

A friend recently lent me his copy of this CS. Now a days it is seldom that I find myself blown away be a contemporary PE release. This though, engraved itself in my skin. Concept album about a group of metal youths in Italy whom tortured and murdered a group of people some years back. Italian lyrics, female and male vox, spoken word/I presume excerpts pf an interview with one of the perpetrators - and a very very atmospheric and intense combo of PE and death industrial. Sparse, but effective production. Highly recommend this release. I am securing a copy for myself.

V/A - Svenska Dokument 3xcassette - finally listened this start to finish and it was very satisfying. The first project, Enklav, was probably my least favorite, everything was satisfying. The Iron Pillar track stood out in particular, a very brutal, well structured assault. I det roda was fun too in a sort of scum rock/noise way. And as mentioned previously the 3rd tape is very good. For Swedish noise fanatics, this is essential.

Assault Guard - For Those Appreciative of the Sensual Properties of Rubber cassette - enjoyable crude noise with a nice rubbery synth :P

The Iron Pillar track stood out in particular, a very brutal, well structured assault. I det roda was fun too in a sort of scum rock/noise way. And as mentioned previously the 3rd tape is very good. For Swedish noise fanatics, this is essential.

I actually enjoyed Enklav the most - despite coming off as a kind of Vivenza-tribute group. Not sure if all sound sources are machines though, some of the loops seems more like short snippets of man-made sounds. The unaltered nature of the sounds and their blending between each other with quite rhythmical results appeal a lot to me. Hängd doesn't do anything for me, tiresome synth-driven PE with powerless and embarrasing vocals. I Det Röda - ploy noise rock. Iron Pillar is quite competent and nicely varied throughout but some of the sounds are too thin and the religious samples doesn't always work. Krökta Rum then - I have listened to this material a lot during the last weeks. I wasn't too fond of the LP (also on Järtecknet) but here the tape manipulations work splendidly, interesting when you can't really make up what the sources are, like in the second part. The editing is perfect and the parts are good in length. Orquere lastly - could in a way be compared with Enklav, but less mechanic and more layered sound. Not the same obvious loopbase that drives the track forward, but instead nice additions of clangs. This material was also better than the CD on L&B, which felt a bit emotionless and stiff in parts.

Seems like the projects Viktor is involved in became the keepers here for me at least.

WE GAVE THEM THE FUTURE BUT THEY WANTED THE PAST v/a tape

Tight-knit and strong compilation of modern UK power electronic/industrial acts, in the year when everybody's gloating over what happened 30 years ago. Very satisfactory, no bad tracks. The one on the A side (Caustic Qualm?) with the tubular bells was quite unsettling. The one instrumental piece felt a bit unfinished, and some of the acts were a bit too similar in vocal approaches, but that was the only negative I could find. Haven't heard the US PE 3cd, but seems 2012 was a good year for geographical v/a's. Recommended.


ARKTAU EOS - Unworeldes + IOH MAERA
Dark stuff. Probably even better heard from proper releases, rather than promo mp3s, but you can't have everything...


WITCH CROSS - Fit for fight
Old Danish heavy metal band dug up by Hell's Headbangers, from 1984 I think. Classic metal in the NWOBHM style, great vocalist and perfectly ridiculous lyrics.
