PIERPAOLO ZOPPO "necresi statica" 12"
1982 recordings from mr. Mauthausen Orchestra. At first I had feeling like "is this it?". You know, why dig some early forgotten stuff to put out single sided 130 copies vinyl... but the more I listened, the charming ruggedness of the ultra primitivism, that is not far from old works of M.O., started to sound good. While it appears to be straight forward noise experiments with hit & miss moments, overall feel of the single side remains strong enough. Hardly any to-be-classic competing with very best of MO, but certainly much much more essential purchase than MO of later days!
THE RITA "Dark Angled Eyebrow" 7"
hmm... It works for 7", but I doubt I would have wanted to hear more. Obsession for the type of high pitched line crackle, really sand paper like distortion, it goes very far from field of physical havoc I appreciate the most in noise. I again appreciate The Rita taking his style to such final extremes, where very few originally took it (but certainly many might follow?).
Mausoleum Gate 7" - Finnish heavy metal with high pitch sung vocals, neat old school feel. Perhaps more gifted than many of the retro raiders... Bound For Glory "Warriors Glory" CD. Being debut album of 1990, it still has a lot of interesting things going on than recent output (say last 10 years). Mix of metallic hc and rac thrash, but while most metal of these days sounds like candywrapper, this has chaotic sweaty energy.
