Been listening so much tapes, that thought idea of revisiting one of the least popular and disliked format: Biz-card CDR, hah.. So those who don't know, it's like 3"CDR, but little slices are cut off, so it's slightly add sized piece used at some point (I guess) for small amount of data or sound one could spread like business cards. Plays in regular cd players and those computers which have tray. I assume disc is nowadays much less popular due lack of need of discs as well as lack of drives what actually have tray. But I guess most in noise scene should be familiar as there were lots of these at some point. You can fit almost 6 minutes of sound. So basically like one side of 7".
INHALANT "Tiny Blessings" biz card cdrPacRec 15
Ltd 28 copies piece with heavy, yet low in the mix bass noise and severe feedback & harsh noise & vocal assault on top. Crispy and fierce stuff from 2002!
IMMACULATE:GROTESQUE "Stabbing Eye Fetish" biz card cdrPacRec 06
Ltd 28 copies. Synth noise that is utterly distorted with neat stereo sound. There is ultimate high pitch in some of the electronics, what makes it unlikely to be this crispy in analogue format. Slow pace with ripping noises, almost icy feel in sterility - but in good way. Sounds very nice alternative for fast paced and wild harsh noise.
GOAT "Goatless and black bible black" biz card cdrPacRec 08
Ltd 31 copies. Much less utmost sonic pressure compared to I:G disc. This is harsh noise without being neitheir wild nor lo-fi junk. Somewhere between, with often wrong style snotty sound. Like low quality pedals used for pedal noise and no loud amplification. It's ok'ish, but far from best of the Goat.
IRIKARAH "History Changes All" biz card cdrPacRec 22
ltd 51 copies. This is Irikarah at 2003. Perhaps my favorite era of Irikarah. Year after split with
Strom.ec, which I consider possibly best Irikarah. I think too much of rhythm started to come after this era, and often too dry vocals. While earlier stuff had flatter sound. So something good in middle. Rhythmic, yet forceful electronics, highly effected electronic vocals and abundance of spoken word - perhaps little too loud compared to everything else.
NARBENERDE "Seelenkälte" biz card cdrPacrec 25
edition of 45 copies for last Narbenerde release from 2003. This project existed together with Azoikum, while that project appears to born first and lasted longer. Here calm, yet somewhat noisy drone music. Basically something what could be on 7" on Drone records. Gloomy, slowly waving sounds, which include dose of distortion or physical metal claninging here and there. Most of all falls into stereotypical icy and slow drone works. Good stuff, however!
ALUMINIUM NOISE "Sweet leaf" biz card cdrPacRec 23
Last Aluminium Noise release. 2003 release of duo featuring Jason Crumer, before he went to work under his own name. This is A.N. doing noise version of Black Sabbath song. Basically short clips of Black Sabbath, then rumbling and loud harsh noise with screaming.
XOME "Blackness (parts 1-4)" biz card cdrPac Rec 19
Huh! Very nice! In finest Xome style, restless pedal noise. Always high speed ahead, but this time also strong and heavy sound. No wonder I started that Xome appreciation topic at some point. Simply brilliant stuff in its style. 42 copies edition and one seems to be for sale at discogs too.
