Topias Tiheäsalo - Eyes Of A Dead Lamb cd
A very nice acoustic guitar improv disc from 2005. Sparse & delicate sounds with lots of silence between them. One of the most interesting improvisers on the Finnish "scene". And it's not all low-key & silent with Topias, the set he did last week here in Helsinki bordered on noise in some aspects. And as he used a dildo to assault his guitar maybe it can be called sex-noise... hah!

Taco Bells - Vadelma/Hawaii LP
Surprisingly good free jazz from this Finnish combo. Very organic sound, there's something unique about them. Not quite sure what it is though, must investigate a bit further.

The New Blockaders - Simphonie In O Minor LP
Yeah, the reissue on Harbinger. Nice handmade covers. I like the HISS. Plus there's some vinyl crackle, some hum and other low level artifacts. I enjoy it as a fetish. I'm not into porn or other such forms of "deviance" - this is my thing.

CON-DOM: Color of a man's skin -vinyl set

[FreakAnimalFinland]

Been on 7" frenzy for some days. Some of experimental ones been commented here on board, now during couple days been going through several metal releases (incl. Order from chaos, necros christos, Rotting Christ, Waffenweihe, Panzerfaust, etc) and skinhead 7"s. Some time ago managed to score "Voice of Britain" and "WP" original 7" slabs, and somehow they sound better than on LP (or CD). With little snap crackle and pop, one still appreciates more timeless klassiks like Smash IRA, Sick Society etc. Too bad genre is such a digitalized nowadays, very few doing vinyl anymore. Especially not with this kind of tasty hand made punk artwork.

Bizarre Uproar mother 3, continues series with perhaps more raw noise approach.
Bereft CDR. USA PE what has been going for long time, but remains rather unknown. Nowadays assisted by mr. Vomit Arsonist, Bereft has been getting better and better. Recent split with Sewer Goddess suggested that this band should proceed little big higher than CDR releases in future?

Ramleh's "Awake" set (only on mp3, okay, but it's the only way I can get it and I love it).
MB/Maor Appelbaum's "Neurotransmiiters" (love it, great ambient Noise as opposed to boring ambient Noise).

A few of us made a small road-trip to Lahti from Helsinki (about 100 kms). The day was happily spent browsing through records in Mikko's store + some other local second-hand shops. Now it's time to enjoy some of the acquisitions...

Dachau Gramophon - Ton Des Todes cs
Quite nice rumbling turntable action. Properly decaying sound quality with not many high frequencies. Keeps on rolling smoothly, clearly some thought has been used for this. Maybe a bit too long for what it is, but a nice tape to put on and play in the background.

v/a -Dokument #1 (Futurist & DADA music) cs
Very pleasing historic document. Especially the Marinetti tracks are very satisfying. The downside is that all this stuff is quite easily available on a similarly themed Sub Rosa compilation. The Dokument #5 - The Myth is in Art tape on Private Edition is more "valuable" since the material is more obscure (and still very very good). Anyway, mad props go out to Sweden for the guy behind these nice tapes.

Merzbow - 1930 cd
Ahh, it's good.

Ethnic Acid: Power-works 1986-88 2cd

Been listening to this while reading the new issue of Special Interests. I´m not that much into drone stuff but these cds have proved to be a good purchase. The last tracks of 2nd cd sound best to my ears.

Got home from work. First up is Hurriganes - Live in Stockholm 1977 cd. Finns and some Swedes will know what this is about...

Next is Raionbashi / Joke Lanz / Michael Barthel - 7 3" cd-r. This is a pretty funny one. Very short, just under 6 minutes altogether. Effected shouts, groans, growls, ominous pumping bass thumps, triangles. Just as it starts to get going it's over. Feel's thoroughly composed, very effective use of the few available minutes. In principle I hate these small 3" cds but this one has something special going for it.

And then Jason Crumer - A Personal Hell 7". Have to give this a few more listens before making a judgement. Sounds good but maybe not as distinctive as I might have expected. The cd-r that accompanied this 7" seemed more promising in that sense. Not convinced by the cover, too ... something.

But I have to say, neither Crumer or R/JL/MB have the visceral impact of Hurriganes!

my day off, enjoyed some tape-rolling....:


http://www.discogs.com/Various-Private-Reprisal/release/1033291
GREAT comp, raw & crude but each act with own sound, nicely executed release!

http://www.discogs.com/Xenophobic-Ejaculation-Xenophobic-Ejaculation/release/1362926
very good, but not nicely executed :-) ....the sound of Islamic decay by Come Org....

http://www.discogs.com/Green-Army-Fraction-The-Greater-The-Lesser-Holy-War/release/1717747
didn'l like the Steinklang lp, but this is much better, maybe a bit too onedimensional sound....great packaging

http://www.discogs.com/Verboten-And-Tabu-The-Sensual-Art-Of-Wading/release/1049620
great tribal stuff from Tabu, like Memorandum & Nekrophile stuff, dada synth weirdness from Verboten, a bit TOO weird with all the vocal a-a-a ia-ia-ia cut-ups lol......

http://www.discogs.com/Brunst-Rebellen/release/981893
minimal synthwave, prog synth stuff, cut-ups, has it all typical Konduktör/Börft stuff....

http://www.discogs.com/Various-Skoningsl%C3%B6st-Ljud/release/549392
really enjoyed this pretty amazing comp, recycled tape (ripped label says APOTEKET?) but rather good quality dubbing! i even liked the ragga/dub song (Original Son Of Man?) on side-A, excellent work but a bit confusing line-up, don't really know who you're listening to, 4 tracks on A-side but i heard 8 or more different pieces, sometimes incomplete etc lol....vague release but features pe, dub?, noise, industrial, drone/experimental stuff, etc etc

TABU was a great live band. The Beating just went on... Verboten did some good stuff but when he recorded his side for the split with Lille Roger just cleaned up his act. The tape version of the same material was better when he sang the lyrics to Dina Ormar. Story about a guy cutting up a girl and taken out her "snakes" and playing with them. VM who was Verboten and one half of TABU today runs a rather famous publishing house in Sweden releasing books by Dennis Cooper and Lemmy.

Brunst is one third or half depending how you see it of Njurmännen where Lina Baby Doll of Deutsch Nepal started. I just have to find my Kropp tapes somewhere.
