FREE SPEECH SERIES:
These were the L.White label 9 x 3"CD in glass frame series that came back in... 2005? Something like that. It seems weird that so limited (300?) discs are all in stock from label, despite it includes some really killer names.
Today went though 3 of them:
Grey Wolves - starts with song what is basically recycling old GW song, just adding little bonus sounds. Then moves to harder, simpler crushing noise loops, spoken processed vocals etc. Really good disc, much better than I remembered! "Sound of Free Speech" is just track of silence...
Sektio-B - they do what they are know to do. Heavy german industrial, with some militant beats, slow looped vocal samples and few layers of electronics. It's like cleaned up version of Genocide Organ & Rasthof Dachau works, with addition of Sektion-B trademark style of aggressive shouted vocals repeating some simple slogan or word, while taking turns with flanger/phaser malformed spoken vocals. I've said it many times, but I can still say it: They are good in what they do. But they recycle the very same idea from release to another, and makes me wonder should they rather split the vocal duties with more diversity? Not always having several tracks where vocal duties are shared with exact same idea.
Irikarah - two quite heavy duty industrial tracks, following the era of their later cd's, not so much the first two LP's. Last track is something what these days would make people's panties wet, who get their kicks of Cold Cave or such synth tone & drum machine bands... Not his best, but not worst either. Very thick and heavy sound mixed very "upfront".
Still more to go: Slogun, Con-Dom/ACL, Rasthof Dachau,
Strom.ec, Survival Unit, ....and Grunt! It's has been very nice day to finally after many years give these releases some playtime.
