LR "brother" 12"
Posh Isolation
Still very good. One sider vinyl with very minimal info. Meaning, no info at all. Without checking discogs, no recollection when this came out, but judging from material... sort of "mid period LR" if that description makes sense!
Raymond Dijkstra "L'opus ch" LP
Everybody loves Raymond? This lp has really eerie soundscapes, mistreated piano, delay tricks, very simple but effective technology, resulting good things... My assumption is that this artists is appreciated by handful of guys who will grab ultra limited hand made items from him, but vast majority of people don't pay attention?
V/A Wenn All Bruder Schweigen" 10"
Kapellmeister records
compilation 10" that probably never makes it to anyones favorite lists, but is good for being specific era of euro industrial sound. Like how often you hear stuff like INADE is here? Bleak drum machine, speach on the back, very minimal electronics. Such a contrast to bombastic D.B track that came before it.
O.C. Track is really neat. it is quite unlike many of their tracks. Wouldn't mind another O.C. Reissue collecting comp tracks.
Anenzephalia is bleak and very nice. Vocals quiet and buried below slow moving dark "power electronics" soundscape. Also, compilation of Anenzephalia comp tracks would be more than welcome!
In recent times, I think G.O. has not submitted any masterworks to compilations. On this 10", song ain't dogday or WPF type of anthem, but good solid track with many of the known GO characteristics.
Con-Dom track been reissued on Shards... comp 2xCD, its painful high electronic sound with some choirs/hymn barely audible on the back.
While comp has no obvious hit songs, it presents the bleak and unique euro pe/industrial sound of this time and certainly good item to have.
Changes / Cavernous Condition split 10"
Neofolk split. Changes is one of my favorites on genre. CC here is utterly bizarre. Blunt acoustic guitar driven neofolk, but with... guttural almost death metal style growling! Damn... For lovers of eccentric bizarre music, this is quite a treat! It is sort of ballsy move to growl over neo folk like this, hehe...
IRM four studies for crucifixion 10"
Cold Meat
Its not very long since IRM was last on my turntable. If you want more early IRM sounding aggro vocals and harder sound, this 10" is good to go too. I like later works too, but I remember when IRM first started, it was pretty damn hard hitting new act that would be part of the shifting sound and production of "power electronics" of early 00's.
This is 20 years old release, but being Cold Meat release with fairly big print run and perhaps also 10" format, you can still get it cheap. Especially first track might have one of the most juicy and aggressive vocal sound of IRM releases.
T.G.V.T. "Paralysis" 10"
power & steel
It is very rare occasion I wonder how did the TGVT sound like. I do think about occasionally, as band has some unusual things. Lots of members, only few releases, name that always stick in my head since the 90's.. I guess I have only this 10", neither of the CD's. I got also the LP of one of the members solo, Yoris Ondera on Tesco org. One of the Tesco titles that has been cheap for years and never seems to sell out, hah..
Anyways TGVT early 90's German ritual industrial. At least some members lived in Mannheim and one of these guys ran studio responsible for mastering GO "truth..." album in the 90's. This is good mix of harder, almost death industrial type gloomy and grey soundscapes and almost tribal industrial elements. Always dark, though. Anyone has the TGVT CD's How are they compared to 10"?
