It's a nice day, no work, good tunes to review for my upcoming Zine I might as well put some more shortened version down here of some of the stuff I listened to in the last hour, or rather, since my last post above:
Strict - Kiss - This one still blows me away every time I hear it. If I had to describe it quickly, in 3 words, I would say deviant frequency torture. Although the the range here is incredible and varied Strict behaves best, most organically, with those high-end tones everyone talks about when talking about this album. They do it so well it probably can never be matched, it is sensory violence at its best. All of this with and a lot more (crisp rumbles, delay, etc) including perfectly grating vocals wrapped up in lo-fi production serving up the content in breakneck fashion.
Mauthausen Orchestra - Anal Perversions - You can taste the shit on the tip of your tongue when you're done listening to this one. Dirty, old-school, crusty noise from Italy. M.O., especially during this era (circa mid 80's), seemed to have a large impact on the Power Electronics scene and aesthetics, yet this tape and the sounds heard on this tape are nothing more than rough Noise. No real sense of structure going on, no influence of industrial, no samples, no vocals, nothing here that separates it from being Noise and that is OK with me.
