After many years, I've just dug out the 'Adventures in Modern Electronics' comp. CD (on Pinch a Loaf) to listen to Smell and Quim's "Non-Stop Robotic Stress Relief". I must confess to having become quite a fan of S & Q back in the day because of this track, and it still hits the spot. Over eight minutes of repetitive pulse, urgent bleeping, and noise spew - bullseye!

!!!!!!!!!!! (Edit: just realized this is a C-10...get fucked. 5 nihilistic minutes, then back to your strawberry bon-bons.)

Fighting a blood infection the last few days, so nothing but mellow...

Alio Dei The Flight Of Real Image (Hic Sunt Leones/Faria): Favorite of the mentioned works in the drone thread. Calming, yet active and engaging.

Yen Pox Blood Music (Malignant): Surprisingly enjoyable dark-ambient. A recent, and rare, favorite from the genre.

Also...

Raspberry Bulbs Deformed Worship (Blackest Ever Black/Personnel): First one I really loved by RB. No genre-tiptoeing, just straight gut-punch-punk. Love all the Tom G. Warrior-style "uuuuh"s at all the right moments.

Controlled Bleeding The Poisoner (Soleilmoon): Another gem mentioned in the drone thread. Cover art does justice to the sounds herein; ominous travels through a dusk bog. Lovely piece. Man, this band has worn so many masks there must be five six styles I haven't heard yet.

Black To Comm Alphabet 1968 (Type): And, more enjoyment from that thread. A track-by-track variety stew. I think it's supposed to be an ode to old Kraut sounds, but seems much too modern. That is not a bad thing though. Very nostalgic and soothing.

Kaevum Natur (Darker Than Black/Sabbath's Fire/Winter Solace): Took me some time to finally check this album out - a real whipper! Lots of addictive riffing and plenty of excellent repetition in that old black metal way. Nothing to surprise, but awesome.

Inquisition Everything...: Re-engaging with a band I've burnt out on over the years. With all the metal crybaby chat on NWN! it seemed high time to just enjoy the tunes. Still a killer band through and through. Can't wait to hear the new album. Played 88MM once again...still doesn't click at all.

Ke/Hil - Hellstation (CD, Tesco): I don't think it still needs description. Listened to some of the tracks on youtube once in a while, but it took a long time for me to click. Glad I finally got this album. Great stuff, love the dreary atmosphere.

Custodian - Toil and Waste (CD, Syzmic Records): Rather cold harsh noise, basically higher pitched, with nice feedback and some great rythmic sounds. Half an hour, some tracks might have been a bit longer, but overall this is pretty good.

Einstürzende Neubauten - Kollaps (on Grooveshark, at work): Quite liked this, might want to get it. The only track which I didn't like is the one with the 'romantic' song, it sucks, hehe.

MORTUOR "I'm Waiting For You..." (CD, Syzmic) - Nothing new here I think, but solid compositions, deadly atmosphere from this non-prolific US PE project. Great listening!

Skullflower/Utarm Split (Turgid Animal): The most free and open I've ever heard Skullflower be without going outright stupid-rock. After too many releases of meh-guitar-noise, this is very refreshing and addictive. Utarm was forgettable.

KK Null Absolute Heaven (Nux Organization): Wow! Yet another gem from the drone topic. The opener and it's Halo Manash-like horn/bagpipe/??? dirge is one of the more memorable tracks of drone-noise I've heard in some time. The next 42+ minutes are a subtle barrage of dissonant mellowness. Have replayed this a few times now. I'm completely unfamiliar with KK Null's staggering discography --- what are some recommended releases?

Wulkanaz Paúrpura Fræovíbôkôs (Seedstock): The most odd-ball and enjoyable work from this Swede yet. Intentionally sloppy, lo-fi, left-field BM. Been following since release one, and each piece is an improvement upon the other. Seems to be informed by himself only instead of caving in to the consumer's or genre's needs.

Ghost Kommando Paramount (Death Fiend): Absurd VS Joy Division, or something like that. An atmosphere that is fairly original. This trumps the debut EP in most ways. Better flow, better songs, better vocals. Looking forward to more.

KK Null Absolute Heaven (Nux Organization): Wow! Yet another gem from the drone topic. The opener and it's Halo Manash-like horn/bagpipe/??? dirge is one of the more memorable tracks of drone-noise I've heard in some time. The next 42+ minutes are a subtle barrage of dissonant mellowness. Have replayed this a few times now. I'm completely unfamiliar with KK Null's staggering discography --- what are some recommended releases?

He was at the top of his game in what I call his Water Period (roughly, '92-'94).  The Heavy Water 7", Lull/Null 7"s, Null/O'Rourke CD, Absolute Heaven CD, and the Null/Plotkin CD (my favorite work from him and runs neck and neck with Voice of Eye's Transmigration as favorite ambient albums).  Ultimate Material II & III have some interesting work on them too, but they're both on the downside of that plateau.  Ultimate Material II is the better of those two.  Terminal Beach was inconsistent and so-so, but it is worth hearing.  I didn't like the Flying Serpent 10".

I don't care to listen to music outside, but Aurora has proven to be complimentary to the outdoors.  There's something both alien and organic that mingles well with wind, sun, leaves, and running water.

KK Null is great, but... He asked me for a money when I asked him for a collaboration track.
