V/A - Venice of the North CS - very nice little tape. I've heard none of these acts before, but the gloomy industrial material is great
Pink Sexdeath - Origa CS - apart from the weird project title, harsh noise/pe in this tape is actually quite good.
Rough Sex Quartet - Autobiography of a seductress CS - decent HNW
VA - Tapeworks IV CS - Different compilation from the venice of the north. Leaning more towards experimental and not all material seemed suitable for my taste, but well.. half of it was good
Encephalophonic – 疾患電子工学 CS - ah so google translates it to "disorders electronic engineering". Very good harsh noise tape. Material is not cut-up like in CD, but very enjoyable. cheers
Altar of Flies - Auditory Hallucinations CS - loops, weirder side of sounds etc. Reminding me of some of NWW material. It was quite good in fact.
Unclean - Manhood CS - it's really different from unclean/lapot split. absolutely. and it's good. good album. is it better than the split? Don't know. I would still choose the split material. and I was thinking that where Mikko would adore material, residing in the upper levels of the frequency scale, I usually have difficulties with that and would easily go for nice good old rumble in the lows in lofi or nofi sound. But this tape is good. Just like Knurl material where I don't miss lower end that much.
Ellende - Growing a beard, driving a bike with a naked girl on your lap does not make you a man CS - Damn if. After such a title I was expecting something far more brutal, yet it's rather dark, ambient-ish industrial. Discogs says it's Krautrock.. what's krautrock then?
Croatian Amor / Lust for youth - Pomegranate 2xCS - highly enjoyable. simple, nice melodies and innocence. I think this is the best from the latest batch for me
No Artist - The Curfew Recordings CD - This is so good after 30 years. Minimalism, field recordings, a little part of ordinary instruments etc. Perfect!
Ramleh - Live Valediction CD+DVD - Listened only to CD and didn't watch the whole DVD for didn't have time, but the CD was at first "damn this is good", then "damn this is bad" and then finally "ah, this must be quite decent material".
Deutche Christen / Corazzata Valdemonte - Super Soap - Thanks to Marco for recommendation. Apart from this being absolutely terrific in design with that soap (though I've received mine broken) etc, this is truly great in sounds too! Top notch Power electronics/death industrial for most of the part. There were some track or two that were quite weird improv stuff, but it's truly great!
Encephalophonic - Regressed Progress - this is absolutely worth every good word said here in forum or somewhere else. Top notch cut-up noise - highly dynamic, interesting and brutal.
Knurl – Metasynogen CS - it's Knurl. Harsh, no compromise noise attack. Not better than any other album and maybe a little something was missing that made it a little weaker than other output of his I've heard lately.
And two little shits that I've listened to lately
Rara Avis - Mutations / Multicellulars mutations 2xCD - some douchy improvisation with saxophone, clarinet, piano etc. If some disabled children would record such material, I would feel pity for them, but now I think it's higher class of art.
Satan's Revenge on Mankind - Goreblast CD - This goregrind/pornogrind CD has so much of what is worst in the style that I didn't know it was possible to compile all that into one album. They did. After listening to this I've lost all interest in gore/pornogrind for a few months I think..
