Talking of more obscure Finnish artists, new tape of ROTAT, called "mob justice", what a nice piece of noise rubbish it is! I could think of some Smell & Quim, perhaps Odal and such. Or perhaps if thinking compositional quality of GOLDENROD, perhaps that is good to compare. Everything is utterly coarse. Somewhat unfinished noise pieces thrown one after another, but hardly "cut up". Just short pieces of noise what vary from great to not-so-great, but even the latter ones just underlines that there is absolutely nobody in Finland doing it like this. Perhaps H.Ö.H. would compete with utmost primitivism, but Rotat has different angle to material. Damn that new H.Ö.H. tape was good! I'm seriously thinking the obscure & less known Finnish projects should be compiled to one good CD release! Latest, at this point unreleased, Fecal Fetal was also pretty neat, although has some flaws.. But very promising and most of all: different!
THE NEW BLOCKADERS & CREATION THROUGH DESTRUCTION "Negative Mass " 12"
4iB
Hmm... In many ways there is something quite dull about this. First of all: 12"?! There is roughly 6 mins per side! And now when TNB has been doing so many collaborations, including 8 LP's of collaborations with dozens and dozens of artists... Now after many years, new items coming which are still nothing but someone using TNB sounds.... it has long felt like artist that leech into TNB's legacy. And should start to feel shame of this opportunism. Creation Through Destruction does fine job creating two solid pieces of harsh works. But it would probably warrant C-14 tape of edition of 50, unless TNB name tag would help there. It's not saying that this is bad. Just expensive, very limited 12" is utter exaggeration for what this material is. If it would be CTD tape on his own, it would stand as nice normal noise release. Now it is seen in utterly different light. For collectors of TNB, maybe ok addition to collection, but overall can't think who'd I recommend two shortish harsh pieces on high priced 12".
