PLAYLIST with COMMENTS/REVIEWS

[Jaakko V.]

He told us that there was no overdub, just a recording of this systems that resonate and that he made like 220 takes until getting the one he was looking for. Probably an exaggeration to be funny but still...

Would be interesting to have a thread for records done like this in general. It's in interesting concept. Not necessarily like a field recording in the general sense, but a one take of a larger system just having a "life" of its own. Wasn't there a record by Jeph Jerman where he contact mic'd up several miles of wires going through the desert, just moving in the wind and making these interesting sounds? There must be quite a few of records done like this, just using several mics on a large complex.

ARTFAG #1 zine + 3"CDR
Hospital prod.
Very strange size zine. It's like 8cm tall, but 60 cm wide! No kidding. #100 copies, 50th Hospital prod release. Compilation has pretty nice line-up. Highlights are T.E.F. and MARCRONYMPHA (Prurient mix). Right behind Government Alpha, Whorebutcher, Flatline Construct. And other bands includes Sickness, Haters, Gasolineman, Joshua Norton Cabal, Ramirez, Prurient, etc.. T.E.F. is here too so good, it makes many bands who usually ARE good, sound less so in his shadow..

BIZARRE UPROAR "Rautaputki" biz card cdr
Corrosive Art
Really nice release of 2007 era. Starts with whispering and random metal junk sounds. Surprisingly quiet and calm for BU. But then masterful lyrics and louder noise starts. Saatanan vitun huorat, miltä nyt tuntuu!? Vittu!!! Saatana!! Huorat! Saa mitä ansaitsee vittu! Saatanan huorat! Something close to that. Priceless. Not sure if this is Corrosive art burning, their discs or just my CD player, but like Halthan, this has digital glitch right in last seconds of song. Possibly plays ok in other players than one I'm using now, but still, only these two CDr's have had problems so far. Could have suspected more issues, especially with some older discs.

Alan Lamb has done that too (or maybe you meant him), with wires in an Australian desert. Another concept fitting your description, I think, is Francisco Lopez's Buildings [New York] CD. It consists of recordings of the insides of buildings like A/C vents, pipes etc.

I've heard that Alan Lamb one before, i liked it.
Also checkout Jakob Kirkegaard's '4 rooms' (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcmYE407tvg)

my two favorites like this are:
TR Kirstein & Jacob Kirkegaard ‎– Imperia LP which was is just the warm hum of a nuclear power plant to my understanding

Lionel Marchetti ‎– Portrait D'Un Glacier (Alpes, 2173m) CD which is the sound of a glacier

both are brilliant

XE: boxset

- knock knock,
- who is there?
- Police, mr Tiny_Tove, open the door and don't try to resist
- I have done noting, what do you want
- we have been informed you have purchased a certain boxset from Finland
- It is not true, they lie
(meanwhile he burns the boxset...)

beside jokes even better than expectations.
XE at its best and definitely the best WRATH relase so far.

Possibly most outrageous of PE releases. Can't think of other titles of that nature what would be as vulgar.

Yama-Akago "untitled" 3"CD
Sewer Records
This was 2001 release on Dan Johanssons old label doing 3"CD's. Already kind of regret I sold some of them away. I think usually 50 copies made. Decent covers in small jewelbox. Some people may have read her interview from Special Interests magazine. Japanese female vocal drone & percussion (with small bells etc). Very slow, etherial and ritualistic. But not ritualistic as some sort of human sacrificing, but like celebration of cherry blossom season. Light and airy performance.

definitely reaches and trespass all boundaries sets and make everybody looks safer...

DIE GUTTER GODS: INNERSENSE LP
Some real australian madness.... it was long ago since I felt this excited about a band from the hardcore / skinhead scene.
Looking for Groin Gravy & Soapbox zines published by their vocalist Meatdog... if anyone wants to sell or can arrange scans / xeroxes I'd be very interested.

PUCE MARY - THE GREAT PANIC
One of the artists that constantly improves and continues to surprise me. Probably best recordings I've heard from her this far... There is no excuse not to own this.

WHITE HOSPITAL - HOLOCAUST LP
Nice work from Steinklang with the reissue of these recordings. I must say I prefer the works of Grim but White Hospital are also fucking good.... two tracks I hadn't heard before. Worth tracking down before its sold out.

Totally worth the high asking price

KILJUVELKA 70 "Tottele" 7", new Finnish hc/punk, but old guys. Decent. Nothing revolutionary.
MARRASMAAT 7", new Finnish melancholic mid paced "suicidal" kind of BM. Stuff that flows through leaving nothing on your memory. Good example of stuff, where not that much is wrong, but all is so safe.
VILE INTENT "Skin In The Game" 7", new power violence, which I almost didn't take as youtube sample didn't quite convince me. But what the hell, 7" format works well, much better, even if I listened exactly same songs as samples. Not quite the level of Lack Of Interest, Infest, Crossed Out etc, but together with Iron Lung, possibly the few only bands that I have heard to even try to match such brutality in hc. Also good Videodrome sample on b-side. Used it myself on Grunt "Degeneration".
ARMLESS CHILDREN "5 track ep" 7", Finnish crustpunk. Many people praised this, and yeah, I can see why, but still, when songs are most often basically 2 chord riffs and girly high pitched yelling vocals... äshh... Maybe works live better. At least sound of 7" is pretty good.

Thanks for the heads up, had missed this totally somehow...

Currently listening to Peenemünde's II. I don't think this album has received the attention it deserves. Very nice lofi tape industrial that holds together perfectly.

BASTARD NOISE / GOVERNMENT ALPHA / HIROSHI HASEGAWA 7"
Small Doses
Alhough repeating the routines of Bastard Noise, I think especially side with Govt Alpha is splendid! Some added musical elements works the best. Fits well into tastes who like BN with Our Earth Blood or "Source of power..." era stuff.

Karen Constance / Smack Music 7 Book+7"
Smittekilde Records
Bought this solely due packaging. 60 pages of Karen Constances best work in one book. Squirrels eating babyheads, flesh-eating birds and eyebleeding humans all over the place. Comes with a Smack Music 7 single . Not even 100% sure what speed this is supposed to run, but I'll do 45rpm for faster pace, heh... Tape loops, oddities, nightmarish hand crafted noises. Fits 100% to surreal oddities of the book! Perfect format of 7" size bound book.

Deutsch Nepal "Rapist Park Junktion" 2x7"
Autarkeia
Part of the 7" is among the best DN releases what I have listened after early stuff. Horrid first song is singing over old pop tune, which is really bad start, but after that, experimental dark post industrial soundscapes. Ethnic percussions, electronic noises and sounds.  It's too bad another 7" is again his eccentric sung works. Just melodic keyboard music, odd loops and semi-out of tune singing what, in my ears, lacks charisma what even some thinner voiced guys like Ian Reed have. If only he'd have voice a'la Tom Waits or such, he could pull these tracks sound just fine. Now, not really. More heavier effected voice on live track that finishes the release work much better than clean voice.

Works much better live, though I like the 7" also. Still, I've seen them like 20 times live, listened to the 7" perhaps three times. Guitar distortion borders into white noise sometimes, which is a little too much for me, but usually simply great raw punk with equally raw performance.
