PLAYLIST with COMMENTS/REVIEWS

[Scat-O-Logy]

I also listened some tracks from "Seer Of Decay" by Grunt yesterday while paying a visit to my father who has quite supreme sound system and I can honestly say, the album sounded phenomenal. I have quite acceptable sound system as well but not nearly as good as my fathers and my space is quite limited so I can't really place the speakers properly. Anyway, the album opened up in completely different way. Sound was big, clear and crunchy. I was able to point out every little detail from the tracks and it left me completely mesmerized. It even amazed my jazz-freak father (before he left the room, holding his ears, haha).
Most of the releases leave me graving for more but "Seer Of Decay" leaves me completely exhausted. Like I would've been with Mikko, banging some metal for the whole day and then sit down to a couch with him and listen to the final results (haha, sorry).

Once again listening to "Infestation" by Forza Albino and trying to understand why some people like this release so much. The release is very good soundwise and Viktor did a great mastering job (as always) but the tracks doesn't really work for me even though I think the idea behind them is quite interesting. The implementation is quite dragging and the somewhat jaded vocal work doesn't really help. I can clearly hear that the artist responsible of vocal delivery put a lot of heart in his output but it still didn't really work for me. If there's someone who missed out, maybe we can do a trade? I also have "MOT" CS which I haven't listened for a while but I remember not really liking that one either.

And then there's "Huorakatu" which is actually one of my all-time-favorite PE tracks. The track in the beginning (what's the track btw??) makes me grin as a Finn. Hilarious! The vocals are very very aggressive with a lot of power and, once again, the noise goes perfectly with it all, this time more violent & short attack (hits like a fist to whores face!!). The lyrics are very nice contrast to the sample in the beginning. First there's a cunt crying about how people treat whores badly and then the sex freak animal whorefucker get's lose, haha. Gotta love it!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIDvZ0uZPYU It's a shame that she has now moved from hiphop/r'n'b to standard pop music.

The only downside in my opinion is "The Most Hated..." which is quite long piano based track. I like the melody, haven't really paid that much attention to the lyrics, so can't really comment, but what bothers me about the track is the fact how digital the piano sounds. I could be wrong but as a guy who have played digital piano for five years, I'm quite sure it's digital.

The piano is sampled and looped from a recording by another artist. I'm 99% sure it's actual (grand) piano but I suppose the sound has got a bit distorted on the way.

As for playlist:

Total: Hard + Low - Love the variation and primitive quality, but I think most tracks and the whole album would have benefited from shorter length.

Flooded Church Of Asmodeus: Satan's Punishment - The Ultimatum - Ouch my ears! Insane Gonkulator-worshipping (black) metal that walks a path of it's own.

Guapo: Black Oni - Supreme instrumental prog/zeuhl/mathrock with occasional ritualistic feel.

Some Altar Of Flies vinyls - This may well be my favourite project at the moment. Perfectly layered loops and old-time analogue feel all the way.

Preview of the next Bizarre Uproar album - Oh boy, many will be surprised.......

Kiitti linkistä! Ei oo koskaan tullu hirveesti radioo kuunneltua, joten koko "Mariska" ihan tuntematon. Loistobiisi kyllä! :D

Odotan kyllä innolla mitä Pasi seuraavana ulostaa.

JFK - TEENAGE FANTASY 1987-88 - I like the Fourth Dimension single but also had an 80s cassette ('333' I think it's called) which isn't so great, so I was unprepared for how impressive this set of out-there experimental noise-rock sounds, with the customary excellent Harbinger pressing and mastering. Very enjoyable and undefinable music. My copy comes with a 'signed art print' which is neither use nor ornament but an amusing bonus item

ETHNIC ACID - POWER WORKS 1986-88 - the same act under a more strictly noise format without much of a beat anywhere. Again, very inventive sounds. Some power electronics influence but apparently using more conventional instrumentation through some kind of self-created teenage recording set-up. Great set of music

I know there was a second Novatron album recorded sometime around 2000 but never released by Cold Spring. As Anthony Di Franco's work seems to be more appreciated years after he made it, I guess that will be out by 2015.

Yves Botz + Roro Perrot - Saboteur - meh

Roro Perrot - Blotto Folk - this one's nice shitty album

Fecalove/MDT - La Merda - more shit, but this one's weaker than Toilet Trades. Far less varied sounds and rather silent.

Crown of Cerberus - Her Strength - absolutely the best of CoC!! Highly recommended

Caligula 031 - Odessa - very nice album. Somewhat different from other albums. The tracks seem to be longer.

I†† ‎– Iao - not impressed

Crown of Cerberus - Mother Nature's Eyes of Fire - nice one, but not that good as her strength

Society of Surgeons - The Corridors of the med.fac society. - hm. it's in the pile of releases that I've listened to already, but I don't remember the sound.. who knows. let's say meh

Vilgoc - Vril - HNW.

Noises of Russia - Experimental Structure - ambient/experimental etc. Live performance, decent recording, material - nothing groundbreaking

Cremation Lily - It's ok to say no - I'm still trying to understand the greatness of this project. Maybe it's the limited runs of releases or so. decent two tapes though.

Arse - Discography - good stuff for a nice sunny morning. Though I think the band playing like that in Lithuania would be called grindcore. but very nice stuff

[Scat-O-Logy]

Enjoying tea along with Grunt Live Assaults box (kiitti Ville!). Currently listening to the first disc and all I can say is great PE. This shall be my lullaby for tonight. :)

[Levas]

RxAxPxEx - of my own free will - hm. is it good? don't know. Decent album, but that's it. The first track I think was great. Others were too long and too monotonous. not impressed

Majdanek Waltz / Sal Solaris - Tenebrae - it's been years since I haven't listened to Russian Neofolk. It's horrible as always been. The music could've been average or even decent, but that dramatic talking over it etc.. my oh my...

Aunt's Analog - The Sudden End - Very good harsh noise in fact! Varied and truly amazing album

Self-Inflicted Violence ‎– Defeated - this is a fantastic album! Though it's directed straightly to my weak point - piano + harsh noise. Very very good. Ambient/melodic lines in the background and varied harsh noise on top.

MXM - Flesh-Biting Paedophile - Decent album though not amazing. Towards the end it started sounding slightly dull, but overall - interesting to get to know it.

Sudden Infant/ Grey Wolves / Macronympha - Interzone 3 - This one is better. Much better. Sudden Infant not quite my cup of tea, but others were great.

Mother Savage - Krypopyrrole - this one's the best from the latest Industrial Recollection batch. Awesome harsh noise

Ashley C - Timeless Reality - the best from Ashley C I've listened to. I'm not lying. Great album.

Ashley C - Drift - this one sounds much much weaker and not that varied and thought over. After listening these two in a row it sounds like these are completely different artists..

Trying to survive through 15 years of BU-box (kiitti Ville!) which is a one nasty fucker. Fantastic job by Erratic Sporadicism Tapes. Just watched the clips from DVD, all great. "No metals were harmed in the making of this film". Now it's time for the first tape, Dog, and I absolutely love it. Every fucking thing. The sound is little fuggy but fuck it, this is filth and violence at its purest form! This kinda filth fits Fallen Angel's vocals perfectly. She sounds a lot better on this recording, compared to Purification where she sounded little awkward in my opinion. I think this will be enough for the day if I survive through it. Remember me in your prayers...

Ashley C - Drift - this one sounds much much weaker and not that varied and thought over.

Sorry mate, I'm going to have to disagree. One of my favourite recent releases. Ashley C didn't bowl me over with previous material that I'd heard, not that it was bad or anything, but this album excites me (and soozes me, at the same time).

[ConcreteMascara]

Rasthof Dachau - Schmerztherapie '93 CDr - Whoa!!! is the rest of the stuff from this project this good? Total electric sound abuse. manic vocals. disjointed rhythms. This is fucking great!

Thanx. I'm almost convinced to take it back from the shelf to relisten. I don't say it's bad, but in that particular context it sounded weak. I'll check

I like almost everything he has done, but i still think this was his best. this was one of the first gig I have ever seen outside Italy and left me completely enthusiastic.
try "Prison diaries"

[Ashley Choke]

People can of course feel how they like about my work, but I would dare to say that at least from the artists pov the transition and development/evolution from "Timeless Reality" to "Drift" seems quite obvious and natural??
