CLEW OF THESEUS LP
I recommend this. One side somehow brings to my mind old Inade 10". It has the ambient - but also the industrial edge to it. Other side more drone, but not only the pointless drone, but perhaps drone with aim - so to say!
Pacific 231 "1983-86" 2xCD
It's good. It is also strange. They keep mentioning so many times the 24 bit digital transfers from original loops, and then perhaps some things are made little abruptly. Like how songs are cut? Some goes perfect. Both discs ends like just all the sudden, full action still going and track is cut. Small fade or something could have been ok? Not that it ruins anything really, but underlines the nature of release being old unreleased archives being cut to relevant pieces and collected - one disc studio, another live. Majority of the studio stuff is as band mentions "full stereo". Well, one could say also: 2 track. So basically left and right channel has completely different things going on, and sound is not mixed together. Most of the stuff it works just fine, but I could imagine some tracks, with headphones, may sound bizarre with drum machine on one ear and droning noise in another... I think best moments are among the live stuff, with vocals and all. I would recommend to those who look for old "imperfect" industrial-noise !
Blood:Circle "hyperpyron" CDR
demo cdr on new finnish noise/pe project... and does it hold the pretty high standard of bands that come from here? Well, no. In fact, most of the time, it sucks ass so bad, I wonder what exactly was the previous demo, what got KMY guys so exited?? More noisy? This sounds like lames computer done crap, with one of the weakest vocals heard lately. With bad effects on them.
http://www.myspace.com/thetruebloodcircle "Behind the mask" is probably among the hit songs, so that's on the myspace too. Rest of the tracks are not on this cdr, but take a listen to elegance of "iron human" and I would say to mastermind behind this project that it would be better to realize quick that not ALL early experiments need to go to public. Some vocal style suggest that he might not be completely serious with this, though?
