PRURIENT "Golden Swastika" tape
2007 gig only release for the Ramleh show in NYC. Naturally ridiculously limited to hand numbered 19 copies. But this time there is actually 30 minutes of noise, and large A4 size folded cover + A5 size booklet and then tape in regular case with full color covers. Style is like tribute to early Ramleh. Utterly primitive feedback manipulations and vocals. Mixing nazi mythology and gay sex in same package. It's not very far from his mid 2000's era recordings really, but just much more nastier sound. I think one could actually play this to someone and say it's Xenophobic Ejaculation and wouldn't be surprise if they believed. Disturbing frequencies, broken and "unfinished" roughness. Another example how some of the nicest Prurient works appear on releases you simply can't find anywhere...
V/A "C-4" 4x tape
Spastik Soniks
Hydra relies on effective crushing loops. One side explosions and humming synth, one side spoken word cuts metal banging loop and noise.
Death Squad offers very minimal high tone electronics and documentary dialogue of middle east bombings. Hamas etc.
Stimbox is heavy as fuck slow paced electronic noise. It's not as assaulting as his best works, but ultra distorted, rumbling heaviness which may be additionally saturated in all-at-max dubbing.
MSBR is among the best MSBR sounds?! Thick, extremely loud and heavy, yet textured noised has plenty of detail. MSBR and Stimbox are pretty much longer piece divided to two sides, while DS and Hydra have two distinctive tracks.
While I've criticized short tape compilations, this is certainly a conceptually justified. Four C-4 (yes, 4 mins) tapes in box. Good stuff. Nice packaging & booklet. Published in 1998, but I guess most stuff dates couple years earlier.
