BUILDING OF GEL - C!S?Session  (Kadef 1997) cassette

A not-very-well-known japanese group, but very good. Multi-layered textures, including many cut-up metalic noises, chaotic, irregular harsh rhythmic sections, prepared on tapes sound collages in industrial avantgarde of rock music style. Must!

Diamanda Galás' 80's albums. I hate some of the production solutions, but her voice and the general atmosphere is amazing.

UNCLEAN / LAPOT split tape
hmm... Unclean is pretty ok gutter pe, but in some tracks the dominating rumble what eats all strength of other noises gets annoying. Among my most disliked types of sounds, where it just rumbles without being able to capture harsh and ripping quality of any frequency..  He should start to experiment with new kinds of recorders and get full potential out of his idea!
Lapot - lo-fi atmospheric rotten sound... but is this right? Feel like half way through the side there some serious glitch type of things on top of everything.. like skipping CD?!?

LEBENSFADEN "Desnos" and "Eine Sättigung der leere" tapes
Rotten synth noise. It has droning quality to it, but still rather this "heavy electronics" approach than drone. Nice grainy sound, yet already now, tapes start to repeat very limited ideas/patterns. Good when it's good, but no surprises of any kind.

ULTIMASTANZA "Corpse talk for the downright passiveness" tape
Noisier and more rugged, but basically could be just next tape of Lebensfaden if you ask me. The routine of having one session, divided to two sides, of this charming, yet repeating sound quality makes it little strange to divide material under so many bands. It's hard to believe they would be all by different people...

All these 3 tapes still very nice. I like the type of sound they have. Analogue and warm. I like how they look and the near absurd titles and other texts on the covers. Just thinking that when there really is involved flipping tape over, it would be nice to have two honestly different pieces on tape. Not just one thing. Especially when putting out several tapes in such a short time.

Last night I played a lot of Crass Records, a few Nocturnal Emissions and "I'm In Love With Margaret Thatcher" single by Not Sensibles .. for obvious reasons. (spontaneous party)

After hearing Blair praising the old **** for her "handling" of union issues. I had to clean my ears with Cabs and Test Dept Shoulder to Shoulder also for obvious reasons.

Alchemy of the 21st Century - Beauty of Aesthetic Imperfection (CD, Freak Animal): Good stuff, varied as well, some with classic instruments going creepy, others with just nice music, others with only field recordings. Since the studio tracks and the field recordings alternate for most part there still is some kind of album feel to it. Anyway, had listened before, but yesterday I was feeling a bit sick, laying in the couch, half asleep and listening to this album, nice experience.

Nyodene D - Edenfall (CD, Malignant Records): Good album, just a while ago I got Every Knee Shall Bow and now this. To compare: both are great, but this seems more focused on distorted sounds. Good sound, not too clean, but the songs seem well structured. I also like the guest vocals on this release, especially the ones from the guy of Prosanctus Inferi.

Dødsdømd/Dödsdömd (7", Cage Match Federation & New Noise Records): I like both Harsh Noise and Crust Punk, so it seemed a good idea to get this and it was. The crust band is good, also got their Seven Deadly Sins 7", which is good as well. Don't understand why they're using corpsepaint on some of their releases though. That and a piece sign, combined with a dove, seems a bit strange, to say the least... The noise act is nice as well, synth noise with some high pitch clean parts.

Anestis Logothetis - Electroacoustic Works (LeCoq 2011)

Highly recommended electroacoustic works from this little lesser known composer. Four tracks including everything from more minimal atmospheric stuff to fast cut-ups, rough proto noise & "junk sound", spoken word, pure electronics, etc. Very, very good.

UNCLEAN "manhood" tape
I think much better than split with Lapot. And also different. More crispy high pitch distorted electronics, some vocals, radionoise. Very primitive and quite static, but overall goes well hand in hand with the impressions of earliest Unclean, what reminded me little bit old Consumer Electronics..

[Lust]

Goatmoon-Tahdon Riemuvoitto

Hmm.. maybe I was expecting too much from this one, acoustic renditions of old songs are good, great even, but I was hoping for them to have vocals also and the two new black metal songs are just a-ok Goatmoon quality. Maybe Goatmoon should do a full album of acoustic songs with vocals and all but all in all they're still the most interesting black metal band in Finland at the moment.

BJÖRN OLSSON "Lite nya melodier" 12"
- Works very good with springtime.

[FreakAnimalFinland]

OORCHACH "vigilia" tape
I don't know why exactly I didn't get into this project when I first heard it? Especially after the gig in Lithuania, I was just captured on this atmosphere and it made me re-visit some of other works. This new tape on Terror is certainly goodie. Based on hypnotic noise loops that are drenched in droning or atmospheric noise elements. At first it made me think, if JARL would be making decaying tape noise, could it become something like this? Sound quality and tasty textures makes the repeating loop patterns interesting. It avoids being mathematical. Hands-on feel.

e.e.m. "As Father Told.." tape
Damn. The gutter pe goes to level what sounds like boom box recording of live-in-small-room rehearsal of things what brings some vibes of old Consumer Electronics here. Very thin, flat, distant yet at the same time somehow charming. Perhaps it's hardly surprising or distinctive in current flood of nasty noise and gutter pe, but in other hand - it is. Fact that it sounds so far from cheap effects and computer edits, goes beyond the usual distance that artists take... Rubbish, in good way. That is.

BIZARRE UPROAR"Kusi Paska Veri"

ANNO 2013.

[P-K]

slowly going through the Death Squad-reissues....most of it very good imho, pré-vocal/PE Death Squad for shure, the blasting static sometimes reminding me of Eric Lunde.

some cd's are a bit short (<20minutes), but i can respect the different 'album concepts' not being thrown together non one disc.

at 9euro for a real cd in digipack lim.150 i'm not complaining.

Just ordered the latest Damien Dubrovnik record and decided to spin couple of related records in excitement. Exile was first to go. The record consists of solo recordings of Loke Rahbek who is one half of DD. Very enjoyable synth-driven sounds with rather buried shouted vocals, leaving a lot of room for droning atmospheres to build up. Everything is quite distorted but still in great balance making it possible to hear a lot of different layers which definitely adds up to the overall listening experience. I would prefer some tracks a little longer, after all this is drone (at least in some extent), but I know the format has its limits so I just have to deal with it. Next up was Europa Diary. The sound of Christian Stadsgaard & Loke Rahbek goes in perfect harmony together, absolute bliss to my ears. The record starts with a quite low octave synth piece which develops little by little in its short four minute playtime. Second track is absolute opposite of the first track. The sound isn't as fat as on the first track but rather piercing high frequency synth, making the atmosphere quite aggressive. As the track develops, the distortion kicks in, followed by pleasant melodies giving a nice extra touch to the final piece. And same goes to the side B. First track is a little shorter and calmer where the final track is, yet again, more aggressive and longer in length. Both records are very enjoyable and even though same people are involved, the records have their own qualities. Exile consists mainly of distorted walls of atmospheric synth layers where Europa Diary is definitely more melodic, relying on cleaner synth sounds. Excited to hear the new DD record. It must be GOOD!!!
