Heinz Hopf/Kam Hassah (7', no label): Since I heard good things about this 7" and knew none of the bands music, I thought it would be good to check it out. Heinz Hopf is good Harsh Noise, but I expected a bit more, I guess. Kam Hassah is different, reminded me somewhat of Sewer Elections Bristning LP, even though it's different. But I think the common thing is the focus on sounds, more than on distortion and effects. So, definately no bad purchase, be it more for Kam Hassah than for Heinz Hopf.
Suomi Finland Noisecore (CD, Lolita Slavinder Records): Once again I find myself listening to noisecore that came with my last FA order, since a friend of mine wanted it. So, more fascinated by the genre than really enjoying it, I decided to give this CD a listen. And I've got to say, I quite enjoyed. Not every act, but there's some good stuff (Nihilist Commando, Nuclear Voice, Noise Waste and S.E.X. to mention the best ones), while some other tracks were more on the crappy side. The problem is sometimes I hear noisecore which is recorded so badly, that I almost can't discern any instruments and only hear something that resembles tape hiss and it sounds weak whereas it should sound aggressive/harsh/... Anyway, I liked this listening to this comp, nice packaging and nice to discover some noisecore acts which I can enjoy.
